The winter holiday season has begun and we have a lot of updates for you!

Gifts and Gift Wrapping

You can now gift-wrap gifts you'd like to send to your friends!
Sophie's Shoppe has been stocked with wrapping paper for a mere 5SS. After you purchase the wrapping paper, you can go to your inventory and click the wrapping paper. 
Select the item you'd like to wrap, and lovingly wrap the item with the wrapping paper. The item will then show as the wrapped box when sent to your friends!

Secret Santa

Which brings us to our next event, our Secret Santa!
Like last year, you'll be able to send gifts to the Admin account to enter. These will be randomly distributed to everyone who enters along with a special gift from Keepers of Eniv.

Rules:

• No crafting or "bulk need" items. This means things like seeds, fish, flowers, feathers, or any other common, low-rarity item which requires a lot of them for use.
• You may include Enivi or MYOs if you're feeling extra generous. 
• If you choose to gift wrap your gift, be sure to check the box which displays what items are inside.
• Send all gifts to the Admin account and we'll handle the rest from there.
• This hasn't happened in the past, but on the off-chance you don't receive a gift by Dec 26th, let us know! We'll look into what happened and make it right.
• All gifts must be sent by December 23rd, 2022 at 12:01am. This gives us time to distribute the gifts

Thanks for joining in! We're looking forward to another successful and fun Secret Santa!

It's Snowing!

It's snowing in Eniv! That means it's time for some fun wintery activities.

Keep an eye out around the site for Snowballs and Candy Canes!
These may be in the form of scavenger hunts, or may be randomly found here and there.
You can also find snowballs through seasonal prompts and exploring the Snowy Peaks. 

Candy Canes can be used to get the Candy Cane base and related accessories and traits from the Holiday Shop.

Snowballs can be used to craft piles of snowballs and Snow Enivi!
The more effort you put into your Snow Enivi, the nicer the outcome will be. 

My Sweet Enivi Collection Update

My Sweet Enivi have released 3 new collectable dolls!
Lyra My Sweet Enivi, Retro Bathing Suit My Sweet Enivi, and Holiday Gown My Sweet Enivi!
Make sure to grab these while you can! The Retro Bathing Suit My Sweet Enivi is incredibly limited.

New winter Accessories and traits

Of course, it would be winter without some wintery new accessories!
We've added Santa Hats, Holly, and a Velvet Coat to help you celebrate the season!
You'll also be able to find your old favorites like Cozy scarves and drinks in the Unique Boutique as well.

Beauty Contest update

The Beauty Contest has officially rolled over again!
We're changing things up to winter for the Beauty Contest a little early with the plan to start making site changes on the first Monday of the month instead of waiting for the equinox. 
Starting with this next beauty contest (which has just begun, be sure to enter!) the top 3 will receive Ice Crown Horns, a new exclusive Beauty Contest winter trait!

General Site Updates

• We've had a few small bumps over the past few days with our recent updates. If you notice any stray Ortusi Hooves, please report them as a bug. If you're the first to report it, you'll get 75 Star Shards as a reward!
• Our Charity Event will be announced on Monday, along with a beautiful Enivi we'll be raffling off for donations. Our charity will once again be Toys for Tots, so get ready to give some kids a happy holiday.
• The default layout has been changed to our winter holiday theme! Be sure to check it out!
• We're aware that there were some issues with the Advent Calendar not showing until later today. Don't worry, the calendar has been reset to start today so it won't impact anyone getting their monthly bonus gift.

Keep an eye out for more wintery fun around the site. 

In the meantime, what's your favorite part about the winter season?

We've been quiet for the past month while we've been busy at work setting up the character creator and making touch-ups to the Lunaesi base!

We've redone not just the base, but also the markings and other traits to make sure they're all fitting properly.
We've also recreated the colors of the bases and markings to make them more true to life, and added a lot of additional colors as well. 
The Lunaesi base now comes in the following colors:
+ Black
+ Blood Bay
+ Blue Silver
+ Candy Cane
+ Chestnut
+ Creme
+ Dark Brown
+ Red, Green, and Gold Glitter
+ Golden
+ Golden Bay
+ Green
+ Grey
+ Iridescent
+ Ivory
+ Lovely
+ Maple
+ Marble
+ Navy
+ Palomino
+ Pearlescent
+ Poppy
+ White

We'll be updating the Speciality and Kickstarter bases within the next week, which should about wrap-up this base retouch.
In the near future, we'll be updating the other bases as well. The next on our list is the Ortusi base, so expect to see that soon.

New hooves for the Lunaesi are already available on site.

We are human though, so if you notice anything off with the updated traits and how they fit, be sure to let us know!

A few of our markings have been updated as well. You'll notice that Swirls and Racing Stripe now have the updated form for Lunaesi. In the future, the other bases will have these traits as well. The Stockings trait on the Lunaesi base has also been redone to look nicer, and like the others, will be updated for the other bases as we redo them. 

FAQ

Q) Can I keep using the old base?
A) Yes! If you're partial to the old base, you're welcome to keep using it. Knowthat going foward all new traits and accessories will be made for the new base, but you're welcome to manually refit them to the old one as long as it stays within our rules.

Q) Do I have to change the base on my Lunaesi right away?
A) No rush, take your time. There's no time limit for when you can change to the new base.

Q) Do I need a special item or anything to update to the new base?
A) Nope, you can get all the files and update any time you'd like to.

Q) Will you still be releasing a Fluffy version of the Lunaesi?
A) We do still plan to, but not until after we've got the other bases updated as well.

Q) Can we still color-shift the bases and markings?
A) Of course! The only real change as far as use with this update is that we've added a bunch of new colors for our friends who don't enjoy creating visual art to have access to. These will all be available in the character creator as well.

Traits Update

Many of our traits and bases have been moved from the OneDrive onto the site. 
If your Enivi is missing a trait they previously had, please submit a bug report on site or in our Discord Server and we'll get that updated for you ASAP.

We hope you all enjoy the updates!
We'll see you tomorrow for some nice Lunaesi event updates!

Happy Holidays from the Keepers of Eniv team!

We hope everyone has a safe and happy winter holiday, whatever you celebrate.

As a friendly reminder, our staff will be taking today through Monday off, and again on December 31st and January 1st.

A special thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Secret Santa, we hope you all enjoy your gifts.

Don't forget to leave some cookies out for a special red-nosed Enivi tonight!

We've updated our rules and submission guidelines.

We want to be clear that we do not allow AI generated content to be included in artwork on our site.

Being forward with everyone, we understand that this could be confusing because we very openly used AI artwork as textures and paint-overs in our recent event videos, and previously stated that it could be used as photobashing. This was before the full understanding of how these images were created was public, and many of the images were created using our own artwork combined with textures and photobashing. 

Now, knowing that the AI generated images are created from stolen artwork (including offical Keepers of Eniv artwork), we can't in good faith allow them to be part of a game that is entirely built on artistic expression and the hard work of our artist community.

To be clear, we are also not allowing AI generated writing, music, or any other AI generated content.

On an unrelated note, we'll be posting our new Charity Adoptable Enivi tomorrow. All procedes will go to Toys for Tots, so keep an eye out for that update!

We'll continue to support our wonderful, creative community to the best of our ability, and we're so appreciative for your understanding and support.

Trivial Contest

Finally, we'll be hosting a Keepers of Eniv and Spooky Trivia Contest!

Have a happy and save Spooky Weekend and we're looking forward to seeing you at the party tonight!

It's the first week of Halloween and we're ready for you!

Carving Contest

First off, the most exciting news is that we're back with another autumn craft to earn yourself a Druaesi MYO!

Carve Your Own Way is a new (featured) prompt that lasts through October. 
Submit a photo of your carved pumpkin or apple to the gallery to get your very own Ancient Sprout.

Halloween Party

On Friday, October 28th we'll be having a virtual Halloween Party in the Discord server!

We hope you'll join us starting at 8:00pm EST (5pm PST) on October 28th.

More details will be added for this event later this week!

Bats. 

The sound of leathery wings fills the air as hundreds of blackened silhouettes flood the night sky.

The bats have returned!

Keep an eye out for bats around the site. If you'd like to get pinged for when they've been spotted, be sure to join the Discord server and sign up for the Daily Reminders ping.

Spooky Gachapons Return

Does more need to be said? Spooky Gachapons have restocked in the Gachapon Machine!

Jack O' Soul

Jack O' Souls are now craftable!
Get your own spooky soul by crafting 25 Red Pumpkins.

Small Video Delay

We had a small issue with some of our frames being corrupted in the latest video that's set us back a few days of development while we re-create them.

Don't worry, you'll still have plent of time to complete the event, and we'll get the video back up ASAP!

Rule and Site Updates

Finally, we have some less fun things, a few site and rule updates.

Rule Updates;

• We've updated our Discord rules to explain when it's appropriate to ping, at, or directly message a staff member on our Discord server. Please use ModMail when you can, we've seen an odd uptick in the amount of direct messages our staff members are getting since we added ModMail.
  Please remember that our moderators are volunteers who gift us the their time to help. They deserve personal time and space as much as anyone else.
• We've added a "Subject Change" sticker and emoji set to the Discord Server! 
  Community members are welcome to use the Subject Change sticker and emoji to indicate they're uncomfortable with a topic. If a community member posts one of the two, please be respectful.
  If a Moderator, Lead Moderator, Admin, or Founder posts the Subject Change sticker or Emoji, a change of subject is required.
  Use of this specific sticker and emoji set as a joke is not allowed, as it would take away it's original intent, which is to help people indicate when a situation is making them uncomfortable when they're unable to verbalize it.
  Thank you!

Site Updates;

• We've adjusted the sell prices of a lot of our items to help balance our economy. 
• We've added a clarification to the Woodland and Still Mirror bases. These bases can only be obtained through Exploring the Dark Forest and Fishing, no through MYOs or potions.
• We're continuing to make changes regarding Traits and how they're listed in preparation for the Character Creator.
• We've updated how our prompts are listed to make them easier to find and categorize. 
• Not an update, but a clarification - Bats will continue to be their own items for crafting and not a site-currency.
