New Feature

It's been so long since I could use the News Type New Feature C:

Okay, so we're trotting out a couple of new features for you here at the start of May - and be excited to know even more are coming! But for now these should keep you busy, aye?


First, the Art Gallery. In this feature, you can submit Aywas-related artwork. Every week on Sunday, we will select our six favorite works of art from the submissions and they will be displayed on the page. The prize always includes 1 SP and a random desirable item.


Second, we have the new Premium Rock Quarry. In this feature, premium members can dig in the quarry for a rock every day. They can then either sell their rocks or exchange them for an account-bound currency called Premium Points, which can be used in this shop: Premium Outlet.

The premium outlet store is a bit scarce and has limited quantity items as we wait to see how the PP currency will stabilize in our economy. Once we have a good idea of what the value of a PP is, we'll stock unlimited items in there, even some unique to the shop!


Next up is the new Cooking High Score List! The cooking high score list gives you points every time you complete a cooking quest, weighted by the amount of time it takes (so a master's quest is weighted more than a beginner's quest, as a beginner could make more quests in the time that a master does).

Also, to tip our hats to the individuals who have worked hard to be in the top 10 highest leveled cooks - if a winning pet is in the top 10 highest leveled cooks, that pet's owner gets an extra 1 SP.


As promised, we have the Gourmet Eating High Score List!. Eat one of the gourmet food items from the gourmet cooking feature to start racking up points for this score list.



Last, there are some new items showing up in the Desert Explore region. Turn them into the Museum Collections to get a prize. These plants might also be used in gourmet cooking in the future...hmm...who knows!

Okay, I think I'm at the end of my excitement... whew... here's a fun fact: in three hours I'll have been awake for 24 hours. Most excellent. Prepping new features is fun!

It's kind of bothering me that we keep getting new things that are better if you have Premium - and some are only for Premium members...

In the art gallery, can we browse through user submissions? And if not, can you make this a feature at a later time? (i.e. add it to the monsterous list of things to do)

I see nothing wrong with new premium features. Encouraging people to spend money on the site means that the site stays running. And one out of four new features that's premium-based doesn't really seem all that lopsided to me.

Cooking HS does not appear to be working, or is it just me?
