New & Upcoming Features
And now we have a few little developments we’d like to chat with all of you about! We’re very excited for all that is coming to Furvilla in the next couple months or so and just wanted to share a bit of that with all of our wonderful users (that’s you guys by the way).
Monthly Paintie Contests
For those of you that like to dabble in the creative we will now be running monthly themed Paintie contests! Head on over to the threads below to check out the info for the April contest.

April Paintie Contest Discussion
Explore Class Update
In hopes to break up the monotony of all that clicking, we’re bringing you even more clicking! But hopefully it will be a bit more exciting now...Explore will be featuring random pop up events so keep a look out and be careful not to skip over anything fun!
And in the near future we will also be hosting a thread where all of you can offer up your own user created events for consideration. Be on the lookout for that if you are interested in trying your hand at event creation.
Upcoming Warrior Class Update
We are currently working hard and hammering away behind the scenes to iron out all of the fun and amazing things that are going to come along with this update! It’s going to be a big one with a whole lot of changes but in the end I think everyone will be very happy with what we’re bringing to the table! Here are a few little tidbits for you guys to snack on in the meantime.
-Durability will be a thing of the past! (for those of you that worked to get high durability weapons, don’t worry, the new system will reward this)
-Blacksmiths are about to be a whole lot busier soon so we hope you’ve been training yours up!
-Crafters and Tailors should also be prepared to learn a few new tricks as well.
-Warriors are going to be training extra hard, something big is coming, and they need to be prepared to adapt to these changes (maybe they'll even find some new toys to play with too...)
Upcoming New Feature: Recycling and Fur Gem Shop
A lot of you have been asking for a nice item sink and we have heard you! We are currently in the process of putting together a Recycling system that will pair with a shop full of fun little goodies for you to spend those hard earned Fur Gems on. More details will become available as we get closer to releasing this feature but we hope you’re as excited as we are about it.
Upcoming Quest System Revamp
One more project we will be diving headfirst into is revamping the Quest system, we’d love to see this feature thrive and be more enjoyable for our users. So we’ll be working hard toward that goal and we look forward to bringing you all something exciting in the future!
And lastly, all Fur Dollar refunds for Inventory/Storage have been given out. If you did not get a refund and you think you were owed one, or if you think you were refunded an incorrect amount, please file a report at the bottom of the page so that we can take a look at the logs.
Thanks for letting me ramble at you all again!

April Flowers
Posted by Mat on 1 Apr 2017, 5:20 pm
April brings with it lots of flowers, rain, and new FD Emporium pets!
First on the list is the Meep, an adorable little chick just waiting to go home with you!
Next in our line of elemental kitties is the Gaiacat, all blossoming and ready!
Fans of dogs rejoice to see the Doberpup!
Sheep aren't about to be left out, now available as the Baa!
The Snell is up next! Maybe those Racing Snell will build a track someday.
Boxes are available in the FD Emporium, and super rares have been listed too for folks who don't like random draw boxes, and to set a ceiling for their price. These mini-pets have a 5 day breeding cool-down. They will be able to breed until May 1, 2017, at which point they will become unbreedable.
The Inventory is in the process of being converted to FurCash-based slots. Those of you who purchased slots with FurDollars will get a happy refund soon - perfect for stocking up on some new April mini-pets! Who ever said tax refund season couldn't be fun?
Bugs are swarming and swarming and swarming! Some of you have already gotten your paws on a couple bugs already, but they're posed to take over fairly soon. Keep your windows and doors closed, spring is about to arrive in full force with an incoming update to the Explore class this April!
Let's Get Cooking!
Posted by Staff on 11 Mar 2017, 10:11 pm
Hi all, I am super excited to be here today in this lovely new News Post! Awesome things are happening and I hope you’ll stick with me through all this info because it’s going to be worth the read, I promise!
Cooking Career
It’s been in the works for a while but we are very happy to finally be releasing a new career for your Villagers to play around with. Cooking functions very similarly in mechanics to the other recipe using careers so there shouldn’t be any big surprises there. We’re hoping this will be an easy to use and fun new addition to the current Villager career set. And I am sure you’re wondering what exactly is going to happen with all this food you’ll be making...Well just keep on reading and we’ll get to all that.
Recipes and general supplies can be found in the new cooking supply shop. And of course for those village specific recipes you will need to do a bit of exploring and battling to gather important ingredients. So when you are ready to get started head on over to the Cozy Cookery and stock up!
Furvilla Feast
For those with a more competitive nature, the first function food items will have is for the Furvilla Monthly Feast! The Feast is a eating contest that will occur every month and users across the site will be working hard to reach those coveted top 10 slots. But never fear because in the end, everyone that participates will win a prize of some kind so come on and join in the fun! Check out the link below for more information and a look at the Leader Board.
The Feast
Furvilla Food Drive
The second use of the new food items is a bit more generous in nature and all about helping out your village! Donating food to the local Food Drive will earn your village points and at the end of the month, the winning village’s occupants will earn a temporary extra worker slot for the whole next month. So get involved, help out your village, donate to keep all those extra mini pets and wandering villagers fed! Click the link below to head on over to the Food Drive.
Food Drive
General Info
-Each type of food item has a different point value.
---Soup = 2 points
---Appetizer = 4 points
---Salad = 6 points
---Entree = 8 points
---Dessert = 10 points
- Food items expire 2 weeks after they are crafted (this is to discourage hoarding and to try and keep things as fair as possible)
-Feeding your villager has no effect on anything but your eating contest score, which means choosing to not feed your villagers has no ill effects on your game play. This feature is purely for fun.
-If you live in a smaller village please don’t worry about your chances of winning in the Food Drive, scoring will be influenced by populations as well to give all villages a fair shot if they work hard.
We will be shooting to have a full Knowledge Base article up for this career soon and in the meantime the Staff is always happy to do their very best to answer any questions and listen to any concerns that you may have.
Cooking Career Chat and Q&A
I hope that everyone enjoys these new additions to the site and just has a lot of fun whipping up these delicious looking dishes!
Bon Appétit

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind if I bark in your ears a bit again today!
I'd like to personally welcome all of you to the Grand Opening of the new Idea Development Forum! Previously, we’ve taken a passive approach to site-development, but now we’re looking to interact with the community to help make important decisions over the site’s direction.
We are attempting to be more transparent with the user-base and take feedback more seriously. This is no simple matter, but we plan to try our very best to work alongside all of you to make Furvilla an enjoyable place for you and your friends to spend your time!

And as they are our wonderful Community Admin, you may see Admin-Deinmaar flitting in and out from time to time to see your wonderful suggestions and ideas so be sure to give a friendly hello when you see them!
Before doing any posting please be sure to look at the stickied posts in the new forums for rules and introduction to how things are going to work, this is all very important information and should be read through carefully.
And remember, Furvilla is both a game and a community! Let’s work together to figure out what will be best for everyone!

March Monthlies
Posted by Mat on 1 Mar 2017, 9:48 pm
March is here in full swing, and we have plenty of awesome things planned here at Furvilla!
The FurDollar Emporium is featuring its newest stock of pets!
The Firecat, in all its blazing glory!
A Wyvern, for all the scalie fans!
A Squirrel, for those who were expecting more from the chipmunks last month!
A Frog, for fans of amphibians!
The Sneep, a cute furry snake!
We're experimenting with the monthly mini-pets again and have decided to try out a new method this month: these mini-pets have a 5 day breeding cool-down. They will be able to breed until April 1, 2017, at which point they will become unbreedable. We hope this is good news for those of you who enjoyed breeding them before, and also allows them to keep a solid value!
The Retired Box has popped into the FurDollar Emporium as well. It contains a random box from past months (which would be February, for now).
Clink-clank! What's that noise? It's the new Mechanical Mini-Pets! Well, if you can't get a real pet to love you, why not program one instead?
Crafters have a new set of blueprints available to them - mechanical mini-pets. These blueprints drop from Warrior battles as potential loot that you can find. Each village has its own animal, but you can trade blueprints to other villages if you want to get them all!
To make mechanical pets, you'll need to get two types of items - mechanical pieces and mechanical organs. Pictured above are the mechanical pieces. Each village has its own mechanical piece to be found when exploring. Collect as many as you want, and then start trading the extras to other villages, so you can have enough pieces to create your new mecha pal!
Pets don't last long without hearts and brains, and mechanical pets are no different. Grab the blueprints to build a mechanical organ from the Quest Shop, also used by the Crafter, and get building! 
Mechanical organs require Steel and Oil Cans to build. You can find Oil Cans available in the Quest Shop as well.
Got all your pieces? Now it's time to build your own lovable pet! When you complete a crafting recipe to make a mini-pet, it will randomize which color mini-pet you get. Can you collect them all?
Mechanical Wolves are native to Dragonsmaw Manor!
Mechanical Seals are native to Tigereye Peak!
Mechanical Fish are native to Oceandome!
Mechanical Dragons are native to Olde Foxbury!
Mechanical Birds are native to Quetzal Palace!
Who said engineering couldn't be fun, huh?
See you next time!
Certified!
Posted by Mat on 27 Feb 2017, 5:34 pm
We are so excited to have our Certified Badges in by Mary Mouse! Originally we planned to only offer these at conventions, but it was suggested to have them available onsite as well for Furvilla's online furry fans. In lieu of offering them for sale, we've decided to make them available as a free reward for supporting Furvilla. Players can claim a badge as a thank you for purchasing $50 in FurDollars OR logging into the game a consecutive 90 days.
Badges are limited to one per account. A valid name and shipping address is required for the badge to be shipped; the information inputted can be edited until the badge is shipped. Shipping is free to all domestic and international players. Players will receive a shipping notice when their badge ships out so they know when to keep an eye on the post for its arrival!
A Little Shift
Posted by Staff on 24 Feb 2017, 2:46 am
Hello all, it’s me again, here to yap at you all a bit about what I think will be a very welcome change!
It seems those adorable little blobs of black goo have learned a new trick...Shifties can now equip costumes! It is our hope that you all will enjoy being able to take advantage of the career buffs and a bit more freedom in your Painties (all regular rules still apply). Also please note that there are no plans for any official art of the actual Shifty base dressed in any of the costumes. But you are quite welcome to edit those amorphous little goo creatures into outfits if you can figure out some way to keep them from just puddling out of them…
I am personally looking forward to seeing even more of your lovely and wonderfully creative Painties coming through the queue in the future! Have a great time with this new update, keep all those Furvilla Tailors busy. And from what I have heard, Dr. Chester, Mayor of our very own Dragonsmaw Manor, wouldn’t be terribly upset about seeing a few more Beasts roaming about...Apparently Were-Creatures are all the rage right now!
Have a great day everyone!

The Gala has opened!
Posted by NPC-Lucien on 21 Feb 2017, 12:06 pm
Ana says:
With a clang, the doors to the Quetzal Palace citadel have finally opened. The Gala begins at noon, and continues for the rest of the Serpent Festival. Do make sure that you are dressed appropriately for the Gala -- the bouncers won't let you in otherwise. If you haven't a nice outfit yet, you should ask someone in your village to provide you one--perhaps an experienced tailor? A dress or suit would be preferred.
Note: Click the picture above to enter the Gala
Gala Contests:
Gala Decoration Contest
Gala Outfit Challenge
At the Gala, the Guardian Angels are offering a store where you can exchange feathers for various Gala and festival-themed rewards. Regard below what you can find:
There are numerous festival-themed furniture items you can use to decorate your home.
You can even take home some Gala furniture, to make your home look distinguished and upscale.
All of these magical plushes are available. 
Finish off your collections with the rare and super rare creatures we managed to catch.
Fond of baby serpents? We have collected some eggs to offer to Gala participants as well.
This potion smells and tastes strongly of honey... and its magic properties will turn a villager into a brand new species, the Bee. The Bee is a new species available in Quetzal Palace. Its recipes stock as an uncommon item in the potions shop, and we have mixed a few to offer here for any who are interested in immediate transformation. This species is available through potion only.
Bees are an excellent addition, are they not?
Do be sure to collect your trophy when you enter the Gala. When you convert your feathers to Gala Points, you can begin your purchasing, and your applicable trophy will appear.
The Serpent's Feather is now stocking in the FurDollar Emporium for 100 FD, to put a hard cap on any possible inflation during the Gala. 
Last but not least, we have welcomed a new Guardian Angel into the fold: the Gryphon can now wear the Angelic costume!
Fashion Show Updates/Changes
Posted by NPC-Lucien on 20 Feb 2017, 10:59 pm
Hey all!
It's your big dragon Admin, Deinmaar here!
Due to users spamming the entry thread and abusing the unlimited entry allowance, we have decided to place a limit of 5 valid Fashion Show entries per person. We have deleted the old Entry thread and Discussion and Questions thread, to clean up the clutter, and made shiny brand new ones. Please choose your Painties carefully before entering to make sure that they follow one of the themes:
-Serpents
-Festival Wear (check out the Serpent Festival Plushies for an idea of what we're looking for)
-Gala/Formal Wear
-Quetzal Palace Costumes (Fairy, Angelic, and Galaxy)
-Quetzal Palace/Cloud/Sky
Serpent Festival Fashion Show 2.0
Fashion Show Discussion and Questions 2.0
There has also been a change in wishlist items you are allowed to use:
Your prize wish list must contain 5 different items, excluding FurDollar Emporium items, any Gembound Creation items, the Discourse Sword and Shield, Forum Vistas, and irl merchandise related items (the only exception to this is single Paintie Tickets).
We will be taking entries up through the last day of the Gala. All valid entries will be entered into the raffle and we will be drawing 20 names. Each user is only able to win once, in order to give more people a chance at winning something from their wishlist.
Good luck, my smols!
