Site Update
Hello dears, I'm sorry to appear out of season but I've been sent to you with an important message from the Lunaris Council, the governing body of this corner of the universe.
It's very possible you haven't heard about them since they have been mostly absent during the seven years that humans have colonised here on Ay and Ara. You see there were a few problems they've had to attend to in order to keep you all safe here, and because of that we - the Lunarii and the Shapeshifters - have mostly been absent. We've sent down contacts on a monthly basis for a long time now, and a few Shifters - like myself and Tech - have recently come to make our homes here.
What enabled us to do this was the presence of some people you have come to know well - Kaz, Shoe, Chaos and the others. They came here from their own world to look after all that lived here, and guide you beings that are so like their form in becoming settled, and in accepting people such as myself who are both humanoid and creature.
Now that the worlds are safe again, and that you have accepted us as we are, it is time for them to return home. They catch their transport home tonight at midnight to return to friends and family who miss them dearly, and the lives they have so graciously put on hold for so long to be here with you all.
We thank them for their services, their advice, and their love, and wish them well going forward.
So what does this mean for you?
Well, now that myself and those like me are once again able to be here, we're hoping to keep things running for you as you know them. There may be a few small tweaks, a little personalisation by each of us, but we will try to not rock the boat too much while you become more accustomed to us.
We're all very pleased to be here, and look forward to speaking and spending more time with you. We sincerely hope you feel the same.
As for the Lunaris Council... they are rather hands off and don't like to interfere in interplanetary affairs, but they are watching over us from the skies, keeping us safe as always.
Take care, my loves, and I will see you in February if not before.
Staff just have a few quick notes to add on to what Eryn has said.
We want to give you a list of what the games have been known as and what they are becoming as of tomorrow (June 15th), along with any extra notes we think you might want or need to know about the updated games!
- "Xero's Pet Research" will become "Dylan’s Pet Project". The game remains the same.
- "Axl's Pet Research" will become "Naoki’s Pet Research". It has been updated to show if you have the pets or not, same as the Aywapedia, and the pet name even links you to the Aywapedia so you can go in search of one to buy! Be careful though - the button to give up shows in the same place as turning in a successful trio, so watch what you're doing!
- "Scavenger Hunt" will become "Miksa’s Pet Bingo". The game is the same, but will bring back the old game mechanism where you cannot use "Search" or the Aywapedia purchase options to find a Pet ID.
- "Talk to Xero" will become "Manju’s Musings". Your old data will be transferred to the new game - but beware, the mechanic that resets your BP amount if you miss a day has been fixed! The day is counted as 00:00:01 to 23:59:59, so you can check in with them any time of the day, just so long as you don't skip it!
- Free Food will now randomise between 1 and 10 items for you, but still feeds all your pets.
- "Tam's Item Quest" will become "Pablo’s Item Quest". This too remains the same, but again has a click through to the Item Directory page for the item they want to make it easier to complete!
- "Kaz and Shoe" will now feature Rowan and Minerva! Our cutest Aywas couple will throw plant pots and blow kisses, and you might even get an item out of it!
- "Tak's CDs" will become "Tech's CDs". Once again the item name will click through to the Item Directory so you can see what they gave you!
- "Rogue's Zapping" will become "Ambriel's Alterations". Other than a new caretaker of the random result, the game will remain the same.
There's also new NPC Plushies for you to collect... Some of them come from the updated games, if you're lucky...
We will have more on those at a later date!

I really am sad that Manju’s Musings will be "fixed". I mean, people miss days. It happens because life cannot consist of a game every day of the week. I wish it wasn't a 24 hour thing, because a LOT of people's amounts are going to drop and that will suck a lot. I mean, I am up to over 40k now and know that coming this next month I have a con and will miss a bit ;; I will be so sad to see it drop after all the work I've put into it by coming on daily.

Sad to see these characters go, but also glad to see the updates! :) I will miss Kaz shouting at me though.

yep, another person not thrilled with the 'fix' to manju's musings. I'd always assumed it was just meant to be cumulative, like the daily login is. How long has it been "broken", anyway? I don't remember it ever resetting....

Gonna miss Xero so much :( He was always my favorite. Will the current NPC plushies still exist or will they be changed to the new ones?

Goodbye all!
I'm glad they are changing, remember when I registered and the Site characters page showed the shapechangers and the old NPC were everywhere else and I was sooooo confused

My only major gripe is that I actually am a bit upset that Manju's Musings are going have their daily counter fixed. I do my best to get on every day, but I know that I just won't be able to do it sometime and I'm going to lose the lovely streak I've been cultivating when that happens.
I wasn't even aware that had been a glitch :/. I thought it had intentionally been changed to make it more reasonable.
But other than that, I am actually quite excited for the official changeover! I've been waiting for this for what feels like forever!
