Community Update

Aside from monthly event news posts and the 2nd Friday of each month being focused on art/coding updates, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

Official Lioden Raffle

LINK - This is our official community update 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 2022-09-23 00:00:00.

Rule Clarification

In light of all the new (and returning!) players on Lioden, as well as the increase in rule breaks we are seeing in various areas of the site, we'd like to clarify and elaborate on some of the rules found in the Code of Conduct today.

Advertising Clans in Chat

All clan-related contests, giveaways, raffles, sales, or transactions of any type belong solely in Clans Chat. It is against the site rules to advertise clan-related contests, giveaways, raffles, sales, or transactions in Main Chat, Role Play Chat, Sales Chat, Art Sales Chat, Giveaways Chat, and Help Chat. We understand that the return of Clans Chat will take some time to get used to, though we advise everyone to double-check you are in the correct channel before posting clan-related content from this point forward!

Misuse of the Trading Center

It is considered to be misuse of the Trading Center to create trades in order to advertise your ongoing forum sales, your ongoing raffles, or offer artwork-related services (commissions, CSS/HTML layouts, etc.), reverse breeding services, studding services, etc. These types of advertisements belong in the correct chat rooms and/or forum categories in Chatter, and must stay out of the Trading Center.

Placeholder trades of any type are also not permitted in the Trading Center. If you are trying to purchase assets from other players, please put your offer within your trade directly, e.g. if you are trying to buy a background for 5 GB, put 5 GB as your offer and say what you are looking for within the trade's title or description. It is misuse of the Trading Center to put up a trade saying "I'm seeking X item, please PM me if you have one!" and your offer for said item is not actually in the trade.

In addition to this, if you are trying to sell something that cannot be tangibly placed within a trade (event currency, Monkey Teeth, etc.), then please do not create a trade and instead use the appropriate Stockpile forums to advertise your sales.

Placeholder trades or trades that are advertising services that cannot be exchanged within the Trading Center are not and have never been allowed on Lioden, so please keep this in mind when creating trades or perusing the Trading Center!

Moderator Applications Reminder

We would like to take a moment to remind everyone that our voluntary moderator applications are permanently open and can be found at the bottom of the Modbox, or through this direct link: Moderator Application Form

Moderator applications are reviewed by Lioden's admins as necessary. We do not have a time limit on when applications can be sent in, nor when they may be reviewed. We may not always need new moderators, but we would like to retain applications on file just in case!

To apply to be a voluntary moderator, you must have been registered on Lioden for at least 6 months, be 18 years of age or older, and have a record that is fairly clean of rule breaks and trouble making. We hope that applicants will have a decent grasp on gameplay knowledge in order to properly troubleshoot and assist players having issues with Lioden's site features.

If you are accepted, you will be messaged privately by a site admin with further details regarding the position. Please keep in mind that this is a voluntary position that does not offer benefits. Lioden's moderators are volunteers that offer their time to help catch rule breaks, enforce Lioden's site rules, and assist players with their gameplay issues.

Bug Fixes

* Fixed an issue with the battle beetle menu not auto-selecting beetles if they were in a mound.
* Fixed an issue with sometimes not being able to switch accounts when a linked account hadn't rolled over.
* Fixed an issue with the Flood Pit sometimes not refreshing for players.
* Fixed the "For Reverse Breeding" checkbox option showing dead and immortal lionesses in Crossroads Search.
* Fixed the "In Heat" checkbox option displaying results with dead and immortal lionesses in both the Crossroads Search and the Trading Center.
* Fixed an issue with using the arrows to navigate between caves where the order would sometimes be incorrect when moving from Unsorted back to the previous cave.
* Fixed an issue where the Gorilla Enclave would sometimes give more than one quest when double-clicking, which would result in being unable to complete the visible quest. Anyone previously experiencing this has had their old, duplicate quests cleared out.
* Fixed an occasional issue where the Game Stats would display incorrect values for a brief period of time while the results were being recalculated.
* Fixed the Desert Oasis background crafting recipe - it was mistakenly locked to being crafted only in August.
* Updated the item selector on the Wishlist page to match the item selectors for Branches and the Trading Center, which should help anyone who had issues with the WIshlist page freezing.

Minor Adjustments

* Added in the ability to hide and unhide a trade directly from its page.
