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
Kijame that would be awesome idea, and to have crafter some use lol
@Chuchi Yes, agreed, like Warriors, Animal tamers have no way of improving the odds on their own, though at least warriors can be assisted by other classes, so maybe the crafter could craft taming items or some stuff (so they are something other than a costume fodder class XD)
Chaossal Only the devs know, but we've been salting about it and the brokenness of the Warrior class for a good 5 hours now. XD On a positive note though it really ties the community together, haha.
I am just... facedown on the floor... refreshrefreshrefreshrefreshing to see when the servers are back up. QwQ
And in the meantime, trying to domesticate this damn butterfly. This is apparently the wildest butterfly that ever was. Will not be tamed. It was suggested, a few pages back, don't remember by who (sorry!) that domestication take on a sort of Herbalist seed book dynamic, where repeated taming would increase success rate. I really hope something like that gets implemented, because I don't really have a problem with the chance of catching an uncommon+ minipet, but hot damn does it take forever just to domesticate one. I think it would help balance out the market for common pets, too, since they're gonna be tamed faster and more frequently, it will help reinforce the values behind the really rare ones.
I think.
... pokemons, plis.. TTwTT
Kijame Ehhhh?? Why in the world would they intend that? Its not fair at all for the durability to go down on all the weapons when you did not use them :/ My mate even had his strongest weapon brake without any warning.
@Chuchi I know! But my phone's too old to play Pokemon GO ;w;
Chaossal It seems to be an intended update, and disgruntled warriors are today's reason why the sea is so salty. Myself included XD
My mate found a bug on warriors, where all weapons lose durability when you attack with one.
@Chuchi
I was super excited to see it released in the UK! Sadly my phone can't cope with the sheer volume of the app lol.. poor 4S
But to pull away from warriors for a slight bit.
Have they upped the chance of getting sick? I've noticed more sicknesses comming my way.

Thank for the offer but since I'm not really using any Warriors now do I intend to I really have no need. If I have need in the future I'll be sure to ask! Thanks again!
