Terms of Service Changes
Posted by Mat on 6 Jul 2016, 12:37 am
We have altered our Terms of Service to clarify and address two points of concern raised to our support channels by players.
1) The Terms no longer forbid "exposed female nipples" and "exposed female breasts," but instead all exposed nipples and all exposed breasts.
2) Players hold the copyright to their user-submitted content (such as forum posts), and provide Furvilla with an industry-standard license to use that content to display it to other Furvilla players.
3) Furvilla owns the copyright to its bases, as well as all derivative works of them. However, players retain the copyright to their characters and designs.
Thank you for your feedback and we hope these changes address the concerns.
Thank you! And I'm very pleased to see the new stalls search options (min potency and min durability) as well.
As for things I'm loving:
Everything you did for the herbalist. Not only was it a miracle in time saving to have the harvest all button, but the addition of the separate window for mass planting seriously saves me about eight to ten minutes each hour during the afternoon of mundane and obnoxious filling one pot at a time. I know I made this suggestion on the first news announcement box, so it's great to see it come into existence so quickly. For a game like this, streamlining is of incredibly large importance, so you're doing splendidly so far.
Secondly, the store is now working as intended. With the addition of my doctor into my swing of things, I'm making great money off of my improving potions (up to 25% potency on all five). I'm already closing in on 25k furcoins (seriously, change furcash to that name - cash and dollars are nearly identical). With the site's improvement in speed, I'm actually planning on putting up the non-seeds my explorer finds in large quantities on the market for base value just to avoid removing them from the economy.
One last thing I'm waiting on: I WANT MY SQUIRREL DAMMIT!
Ey so this may not be the entirely correct place for suggestions, but considering others are doing it, the forums are down, and y'all actually read and pay attention to comments, I'll throw in my share:
1. Please allow the option of click-and-drag sorting of pets in the animal breeding page, or at least automatically sort them by species, or something. I'm up to three pages of pets and it's entirely in disarray.
2. On that note, pet breeding seems to be almost entirely useless at this point. I haven't been able to even breed a single pet since I have to wait 4 to 7 days for each female. What's it all for anyway if people can just draw pets in their own Painties? Can different pets at least give stat boosts or something?
3. Add my name to the "illnesses are way too frequent and I hardly have enough time to make/save up for a cure before I'm struck with another one" list.
4. Complete missed opportunity to call friends our "Furiends".
Thanks for the clarifications! One suggestion I have is being able to search by keyword rather than exactly by name of the item. I'm not sure if this is something that's already been mentioned or considered, but sometimes I want to compare different equipments I'm unfamiliar with and it becomes tedious having to search several times. !lso, for mobile users (like myself) 'clicking' on the search term I want is tricky and usually ends up tapping what is above it. It could well just be my platform, but it'd be nice to look into for the future! Thanks!
Feel like this is the only venue for making suggestions, which is good, as you guys post these often enough that we can keep up.
I'm going to second, third, fourth, fifth and infinity-ith the fact that the percentage chance of villagers getting sick needs to be lowered by quite a bit. I can't seem to get my explorer through three full rounds of 20 explorations before he's sick again and I healed my herbalist yesterday only to have her get sick again just three hours later. I do have a doctor, but I'd prefer to not have to keep a long standing stock of potions just for healing my own guys instead of selling them. The whole design was to help the other villagers out, not just hoard everything for yourself.
If you don't change that, my alternative suggestion is that the efficiency drop is reduced from 50% to 25%. With my explorer sick, I'm not getting enough shots in per hour to even fill the basic 10 planting slots as I can't get enough seeds in just ten rounds.
As for the decision on the nipples, I have to applaud you on this one. I know that there are a ton of furries who play this game, myself included, who wouldn't have cared, but this is also a game that definitely has the feeling of being kid friendly. I already figured this was the case, which is why I kept my weasel's nipple and navel piercings off of my paintie and just stuck to his collar and mohawk.
I am LOVING how fast this site has been moving ever since the forums were shut down. It's clear it wasn't the influx of users that caused the site to lag so hard at launch, but rather the insanity on the forum and chat pages. It's not so much more hiring of moderators that you need (which you do still, but don't overdo it) so much as more server capacity to handle it. I'd likely advise keeping the forums off for a couple more weeks or so to ensure the crazies who only came here to make ridiculous forum posts and be stupidly childish disappear.
@Mails
I don't really want nipples on my villagers anyway. I was speaking more in regard of photos in the forums once they open up again.
For the first time ever I enjoyed reading the terms to a gamesite
so, any form of nudity is forbidden ?
that it cause that i understand
i forgot we can draw our own pets next to each villager... ;u; pls disregard my suggestion #4
Very glad to see that the TOS was revised/rephrased! I was so concerned about it that I had totally reconsidered uploading any content. Glad I can rest easy that my content and characters are still mine! Will have to submit my paintie once again then. ;v;
