Rule Clarifications and MOD Updates
Posted by Mat on 12 Jul 2016, 12:26 pm
We have been consolidating and reviewing a lot of feedback on various rules we have, and are happy to announce that all of the updated rules have been released.
1. The Terms of Service no longer forbids breasts, but instead focuses entirely on nipple exposure. Breasts are now allowed on Painties as well as artwork posted on Furvilla provided they follow the nipple rule. We feel this best represents a SFW environment while also not implying sexualization of people with that body shape.
2. The Terms of Service clarify our position on game asset trading with other browser games. The short answer is, we are fine with trading, however, we would like you to wait until the game is out of beta before doing so.
3. The Code of Conduct now indicates that CSS should not be used to cover or alter game stat information, including hiding or altering your or your villager's stats, or replacing your villager's image with CSS.
4. Our Forum Rules have now been updated to indicate that the phrase 'illegal drugs' refers to United States federal law, as there are discrepancies between the laws of different countries regarding what is an illegal drug, as well as individual states within the US.
5. Finally, after taking in all feedback with Painties and speaking with our Paintie moderators, we have completely revamped the Painties rule page in a way we hope clarifies everything regarding Paintie rules. We have been struggling with the inventive ways that players are creating some Painties, but unfortunately some are created in ways we did not intend for our bases to be used. We hope that this guide clarifies what we consider permissible for the use of our bases and helps clear confusion.
That now covers all the rules that have been changed thanks to your feedback. We also wanted to let you know that moderator applications are now closed. We received over a thousand applications and have hired our team. We do not yet have an ETA on releasing the forums as the moderators are occupied with ironing out issues with Painties. We will provide you an update when we have an idea of when the forums will be ready to re-release.
Last, here are a list of changes that have been implemented since Monday, the majority of them from suggestions e-mailed to us:
- grayed out Change Career button when idle
- destroy unwanted recipes from career page
- removed white gradient on long Private Messages
- Transfer Currency / Transfer Item on user page
- horizontal scrollbar appear in the message box when needed
- view all recipes/their reagents for reference: searching items in the museum now provides a list of reagents (for recipes), or a link to the recipe that crafts the item, or links to all recipes that use the item
- placed a button in the blacksmith career page that straight away takes you to repair requests
- Villagers page indicates which villagers are sick and with what
- item pages now include links to NPC shops if the item stocks there
- Paintie Removal button to strip a Paintie from a villager at the user's request
- the following items can now be used from the inventory on villagers who are not the active villager: medicines, pets, recipes, costumes, species potions, hp potions
-rapid fire pokes admins- =3=
I have a question about the copyright rules when it comes to painties. What if a paintie is clearly based on a copyrighted design but has been changed enough that it doesn't look identical?
Gwennafran at one point I had 3 of my 4 warriors in the Top 10 (although #4 was a part timer, and only when he had no smithing to do XD), right now it's just two of them. I'll probably keep at least those two for token grinding in the hopes for costumes swaps ^^ But I'll hit the hay soon as well~
My top warrior was (once again) push out of first place on the Oceandome Top 10 last night. I haven't been able to catch up Today, and is about to go to bed.
But that's OK... Bound to happen anyway. I'm mostly amused that my secondary warrior by now has made it into the top 10 on place 9.
And he only started out as a warrior eight days ago. XD
Here's to seeing both of them drop as I go to bed. :P
Looking to buy 100 FD for 3000-7000 FC, might offer more! Message me if deal!
Before big weapons got more common I earned quite a bit with the ingredients for them. Now I mainly earn from selling said big weapons XD Got around 100k myself, but am more focused on taming pets than earning money at the moment :D
Blaire
I've made 5K FD being first on a lot of warrior stuff, soo.... Spend a lot of time on site? (also got around 200K FC as I write)
Selling explorer goods and plants from a herbalist seem to be going pretty well for people, that don't have time to do the warrior thing, though.. You should look into that. :)
And I flat up admit that I took heavy advantage of being very early with a lot of things in week 1, where the FC to FD conversion rate was very low.
Rare minipets might very well end up being the last big thing for people to unlock. That's probably what's going to hit hard a month or two from now. Not to late to catch that wave. ;)
@Faewind Well, it IS a test account after all, said DAD also has 6/5 battlecharges as a warrior XD
I'd love if special species got bonuses too though.
@Chuchi Happened to me earlier with a wickerbeast potion that I accidentally sold for 200FC, but the person was super nice and insisted I take it back ^^
I noticed the admin account DAD has buffs, but no costume (http://www.furvilla.com/villager/77354). Is that for testing purposes, or will special breeds (DAD, Wickerbeast, manokit, gembound) potentially get job buffs that come with their breed?
Also when there will be Squirrel Villagers and Sheep Villagers ? I want to have those and I can't ;-;
