Community Update
As we mentioned before, aside from event news and the 2nd Friday of the month being focused on coding/art updates all at once, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

Official Lioden Raffle

LINK - This is our Official Lioden Raffle. Everyone gets a chance to win a rare prize, plus something extra for any runner ups. These raffles have a very minimal ticket price, and there is a limit of 1 ticket per account to make it fair! Good luck!
This raffle will automatically end on 2020-10-02 00:00:00.

Wolvden's Early Access Launch!!!

OH MY GOSH IT'S HERE. Nothing could have prepared us for this! The reception has been incredible, you all are amazing and supportive and we love our community (communities, now!) so much. Whether you've joined now, you're waiting until free launch, or you're sitting back and sticking with lions, you mean so much to all of us.

We know some of you have expressed concerns about what Wolvden means as far as Lioden's future goes. We've been very open about this—we have no plans to drop Lioden, and Lioden will continue to receive updates as usual. We love our lion bros, after all, and after 8 years, we feel like we're just getting started. :D

Planned Network Maintenance Alert

That being said... Our hosting provider has informed us that there will be a brief period of maintenance tomorrow (expected to be no more than 5 minutes) for Lioden. Unfortunately they were unable to be specific with the time that it would be occurring. We'll be keeping our eyes on everything to make sure nothing goes awry. In addition to this, we will be taking advantage of this time to make a few minor adjustments on the backend here.

Currently, HTTPS is optional (simply visit https://www.lioden.com/ to play via a secure connection). Tomorrow, however, we will be making HTTPS the default (and only) connection method. Most of you already access Lioden this way and you won't notice a difference. For anyone that doesn't already use HTTPS, your browser will likely ask you to log in again once the switch is made.

Raffle Lioness

Congrats Outrider [clean ice shreds] (#7021)! You have won last week's Madagascar lady, woo!
A new Goldenrod lady with Cream Margay, Feline 9 Gold, and the third Ankasa Forest Reserve background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

Poll Results - Who knew our lions were part of the PC Master Race?! All answers were ridiculous though, you guys know lions don't have thumbs and can't play games, psh.

NEW POLL - Which character from The Lion King is your favourite? We all know the answer is Nuka—he had to be removed as an option since, you know, everyone would absolutely vote for him.

Next Development Update: October 9th!
