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!

Discussion Update: Raffle Lioness System


As mentioned in last week's Community Update #237, we have taken this past week to discuss which options we will be implementing.

We will first start off with adding in a confirmation system. The confirmation system will work in such a way that a player must be online and rollover in order to accept the raffle lioness onto their account, and if they do not rollover in time, then she will be rerolled to another winner. The timeframe provided for a player to rollover and accept the raffle lioness will be 1 month (30 days) from when she is pulled. We will be looking into implementing a notification of sorts so that if a player has a linked account and they win the raffle lioness on one account, their linked account would receive a notification prompting them to rollover and accept the raffle lioness.

We will also be adding in a raffle stud system, and will be ironing out more details as to how that would function in a future update.

For now, these are the only updates that are confirmed and will be added in a future update. Nothing currently has changed with the raffle lioness system, and we will mention any updates in a future news post when they are implemented.

If there are still issues with raffle-exclusive traits being difficult to pass after these are implemented into the game, we will look into potentially implementing the system of releasing raffle lioness traits on NCLs in explore.

We would also like to clarify that based on the feedback we have received, and as it wasn't an option that was heavily supported in the survey, we will not be releasing full clones of raffle lionesses in explore.

Raffle Lioness


Congrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness!
A new Ember lady with Fern eyes, Feline 10 Fiery (NEW!), Red Dorsal Line, and the fourth Lopé National Park background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

Marking Note: Feline 10 Noctis is now possible to apply via RMA/RMR/Total Shuffle!

Poll Results - Thank you all for voting on last week's poll! The Mocha base will be renamed to Latte within the next Development Update. We appreciate everyone's feedback!

NEW POLL - As the Feline marking set is now fully complete, we wanted to give one last chance for some final recolours of Feline 1-10. Would you be interested in more recolours? Let us know in this week's poll!

I am ONLY saying yes to more Feline recolorings because I need there to be at least 1 green Feline (Algae, Bushveld, Mistletoe, Pistachio, Olive???? Maybe????, or perhaps the OG Green that could be fun) and a PROPER blue Feline that's not Elysian. A blue Feline could be Arctic, Blue Poinsettia, Cloudburst, Glacial, Nadir could be a good dark blue, maybe Whisper (that one's only a mane marking atm), Cimmerian could also work though it's a bit too dark to me but I know a lot of people love that one, Snowflake could also be used for a light blue one.

Basically; a few more recolors as long as it's not more black, brown, red, or orange

Love this update. The decisions on votes are very good! 1 month is a good long time so even if player cant login every day, they will still get to accept her - if someone is not logging in for more than 1 month length, then they're not really playing the game at the moment. And raffle studs is very long awaited feature!

Comic is the cat's face ahaha

(we see those pirate items in the catalogue )

Very curious to see how the Confirmation system & Raffle Studs will look like!

Will there be an official guideline for how 'spread' traits are? Using the Marking Rarity counts or user count who possess traits?
I feel like there may be some hiccups with how individual users feel about their Raffle Stud results due to the generally poor randomization leaning low-luck for trait passing, even if keeping stud breedings item-free is the best way to ensure truly random results the potatoes will be unavoidable-
Does this mean the site will step in to pre-define what a difficult to pass trait will be ?

It would be fairly easy to repeatedly complain about not getting a trait even if it is available in order to try to bring on "implementing the system of releasing raffle lioness traits on NCLs in explore."
While it could be disproven with a simple search, it brings up possible issues with personal back-and-forth.
I'll admit i'm personally slightly mistrustful that such big changes can be brought up; while change and growth is good, a slow release community trickle making the traits more and more matching or the same as Raffle Lionesses because 'well I couldn't get this trait' or 'they're charging too much so i'm gonna say the traits aren't spreading in news' seems possible- I do trust the devs and current manager to make the right community and business decisions but the potential of higher BO creep over time makes the whole place feel rather unsteady.
As it is this feels like placating a vocal portion of the community while leaving the door open for future appeasement as that community changes.
(Good thing- but wondering how those who were on the verge of quitting feel & if this is enough to hang on to both the 'if this happens i'm gone' (they may stay, will they still support?) & 'if this doesn't happen i'm not bothering.' (Were they supporting?) I may be wandering off into the distance but this mistrust has been built by observation.
Variations or only the extinct/harder to pass/ new traits capped at 3-4 1-2 max (with the RL herself possessing all at once; or if using 3-4 - typically all her new/requested traits - if she's not meant to be unique) & usually a mix or 1-2 shared traits with a special star or flair as some have mentioned or a few studs would make it slightly easier to prevent.
(Otherwise that is Raffle Lionesses- not just releasing another way to get some traits allowing many designs to branch off once in user's dens- in explore.)
It's lovely for good prizes to keep up with the community, but without a delay it could hurt more than help.

Just wanted to share a bit more than strictly necessary to make a point (will the site start defining official and user-made terms) when larger discussion are happening that may lead to refusal to consider $$ or returning.
I don't mind one way or the other contrary to appearance but uncertainty and inconsistency make me verbal (verbose? xD)

Nothing has changed (yet), least controversial additions first (Yay - wait! Mistrust.), we'll let you know when things change (wait... what things?), we're not doing this (buuut may consider/revisit in the future so technically could make any changes at any time whether slow crawl (palatable to some as it gives them time to wrap up affairs but I dislike conditioning and slow slide to destination) or larger)..).
Surprises can be fun at times but i'll just play on a whim instead of trying to make any predictions which also happens to mean I'm not going to invest to reduce risk. In-game market rollercoaster is enough & more fun. I'm happy with the first changes that are coming but mistrustful of the (loop)holes which is making me suspicious. XD
Reading into things and/or seeing what a site may need to do to stay afloat.

Thank you for closing the conversation on releasing full Raffle Lionesses in explore.




I'm alone in thinking that this is just a slow easement into the changes instead of a hard line or quick change to try to keep the majority of the userbase still playing, aren't I?

Dude I think you guys made the absolute best choices for raffle lionesses thanks so much!! It keeps the rarity of clones, adds a funky new feature and breaks raffle markings out of containment. Plus it having them on ncls makes explore really exciting!! If I was u I’d keep the number of raffle ncls and the number of marks on them low to stop one catnip rich player from grabbing all of them
