"Who left all these Quetzal plushes here?"
This pile of Quetzal plushes would like to bring to your attention the following newspost, regarding a few changes to staff positions, along with information regarding features like Copyright and Adventure.
Hey guys, Hiiro here! I am sure you've seen me around site as I am just about everywhere, but I have recently been painted Blue as the newly appointed Admin in charge of Adventure!
As we all know it needs a bit of cleaning up and a little (read: a lot) TLC, so the staff thought it was best to create a new position specifically tailored to catering to the feature's needs, and to get it to be a more fun experience. I do have some ideas on the future of Adventure, and I hope it will please you guys as well!
It's no secret that Adventure has had several ups and downs over the years. Which is why I wanted to share with you some of the goals the coder and I are working towards!
Our first goal will be to have some clean up and adjustment. By this I mean that we are going to be focusing on adjusting EXP to be more reasonable and actually allow players to level up the pets they want. In addition, we will also be attempting to clean up some of the 'unnecessaries' out of Adventure. This includes getting collectibles and other non-equip items out of your Pet's Equip category (those pesky items).
But this isn't the end goal of Adventure. I know for a long time users have been wanting some of our older features that we removed or disabled (or not fully implemented) to be completed; such features like Gardening, Fishing, and Magic Quest. Note that this is not the entire list of features, but a sample (there will still be new features coming!). It is my hope that we will be able to implement these features back in Adventure for users to enjoy again! They may not be identical to their original iteration, but it is a part of excitement of all staff to have these features again, for all of us to enjoy!
But that isn't all...
I know many of you have enjoyed our Monster Capture feature. However, I know that our lack of psds were an issue. We opened up Monster Community Contributions asking users to help us make linearts or psds for users and artists to use. Thanks to the contributors of that thread, many members of staff, and our artists, I am pleased to announce that we have a nearly complete list of fully-based 200x200 PSDs which you can review here. This will also be added to the Monster KB article.
However, this is not a complete haul of our monsters. We are still missing two Ay-region monsters: Skeeto and Wyrm. If you would like to help us finish this list by contributing for these two monsters, please visit the Monster Community Contributions thread linked above!
But that's still not all!
Finally, I want to address Copyright check. In addition to Adventure, I am also tasked as the new Copyright Admin! Copyright check is a bit slow right now, but I ask that people be a bit more patient. I have assembled a team of new reviewers who are excited and ready to help get that queue back down to size! No rules or alterations are being made to the process, so you do not have to worry about learning any new rules.
I think that sums up this long and lengthy newspost. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to working on these projects with you!

I think it'd be pretty cool to also see the 'hunger' stat do something. I feel like it shouldn't be so self-maintaining, I really like the idea of upkeep on feeding your pet as you adventure x'D

Hiiro (#755) As well as plants for the gardening, would bugs be a possible new thing to find? Considering no one can have a garden without a couple of bugs, heh ^.^
