Password Changes

As per the small notice we sent out earlier this week, everyone has been given a prompt to change their password. This is because we've altered the way we store passwords.
All players have a time of one month from today's date to change their password. If players have not changed their password after this date, they'll be required to use the lost password reset tool to generate a new password for their account.

Code of Conduct

We have clarified one rule in the Code:

Do not trade any game currency or virtual items for real money or any other form of non-Lioden currency or asset.

And added another rule:

Any group collaborations (e.g. in clans, or member partnerships) must be mutually beneficial for each member involved.
* For example, if items are being collected, all members must be able to use those items and not have the items all for exclusive use of a single account. The promise of cubs does not equal all items being concentrated onto one or two studs.

Updates!

* Buying items in shops are now processed in a slightly different way. This means that you should no longer run into the issue of accidentally refreshing the page and submitting the order twice. Everything else is the same, but this should hopefully reduce the chances of doubling your purchases.
* You can now view event exclusive items that can be crafted in the Crafting tool even when they are not currently available to craft.
* Posting new topics and replies now saves a local draft of your post or reply. The script uses cookies to store these drafts, so we have updated our Privacy Policy to reflect this addition.

Fixes:

* We made a note of all the requests to make the Fight Her button more distinguishable from the Claim Her button when encountering lionesses in explore, and have made the 'Fight Her' button red in response to better assist our users with visual impairments.
* New users will no longer get notifications about unread news alerts and that their lionesses had returned from a hunt, despite them not having any lionesses.

January event fixes:
* An event encounter text error
* A missing "or" between two January encounter buttons.

New Oasis Beetle!
In Oasis, you can find a token of Platerodrilus beetle! We show a female on the item images, because the Trilobite beetles are unique in a way the females keep the larvae form and get much bigger than males! The... less exciting... males are still out there to do the battling for them, though!

New Markings!
Heeeey remember after we added Rosette, we introduced inverted bottom marking version? Well, after Soft and Heavy Rosettes... you're getting those in the inverted form too!
From now on, new Inverted Rosettes can be obtained in similar way as the old one.
