We've got a handful of small updates and reminders for you all!

First, don't forget to enter for our first Create to Adopt Enivi!

The drawing is tomorrow at 8PM PST, so you still have time to get your stories, paintings, etc in for this legendary Enivi.

You can find more info about them here.

General (But Important!) Updates;

  • The Code Cleanup has been completed!
    Our Code Cleanup has finally come to an end (until next time ;) ). The site should be maintained more smoothly now and in preparation of us adding the Character Creator (which is obviously very image intensive). This isn't something you'll likely notice as a user, but it's set us up for a solid future going forward, and we're happy to have the solid foundation to build on.
  • Captcha has been added to registration.
    We've added Captcha to registration to help us let in users and keep out bots. Don't worry, you and your friends won't have to jump through hoops like trying to identify a "bus" that is actually a boat, bike, or who knows what else. The code is in our back-end system, so you'll hardly notice it's there.
    Unless you're a bot.
  • We're still in Open Registration (invite your friends!)
    Captcha being added has made all our lives easier. We'll be keeping Open Registration open for the time being, and your friends will no longer need an invite code to join. Our plan is to keep the site open until we hit a limit where adding more players could complicate things as far as needing more staff, finding unexpected bugs, or needing to re-evaluate server space.
  • The Timezone and roll-overs are being updated.
    Our timezone has been updated from UTC to PST, and our roll-overs will begin to reset at 12am PST rather than UTC.
  • PSD Requests and Masterlist Error Reports have been moved from our Discord Server to our Forums.
    If you're looking for a PSD or have an error to report for your Enivi's masterlist entry, you can now do that on the forums instead of on our Discord server.
    You'll find both these sections pinned under "Help".
    If you already have a request in either of these on the Discord server, you don't need to put in a new one. We'll be finishing those up before retiring the channels.
  • Fishing has been lowered from 5 tries per day to 3, and the lures are now usable!
    This is in preparation of some new features we'll be adding soon, and also an attempt to balance out our economy.
  • Fishing Prices have been lowered.
    Like above, this is an attempt to balance out the economy. There's just too many fish!
  • Some New Items Not Sellable
    One final heads up, we're taking some time this weekend to double-check our economy. We've hit a threshold for some users having an abnormal amount of SS, and we want to make sure we're keeping tabs on that.
    The new seasonal items are currently not sellable (to the site, you can still sell to other users! ) because we're working on maintaining balance ( as all things should be). 

Our Current Work List

We're still ironing out a few things, but these are our goals for the rest of the month that you can keep an eye out for;

  • Adding new items, accessories, and traits.
  • Working on the Character Creator.
    Note: This likely will not be finished this month, but we're working hard on it.
  • Creating new tutorials.
  • Working on new, optional site-themes.
    Note: This likely will not be finished this month, but again, we're working very hard!
  • Give more purpose to the fish you catch.

Finally, a question for our community!

We were talking about having a monthly Community Discussion, where the staff would be in VC and you could ask us questions in text. 
They could be questions about the game, the lore, you could voice concerns, or suggest features you'd like to see in the future. You know we love to hear your thoughts.

Would this be something you'd be interested in, and if it is, would you rather it be;

  • A weekday evening (7PM PST)
  • A weekend evening (5PM PST)
  • A weekend day (11AM PST)
  • Other? (We couldn't do weekday mornings or earlier on weekdays)
