Autumn Mini Update!

Hello everyone! We're here to bring you a small update of new Autumn items as well as Forum Game Poll results!

8 new items have arrived for the autumn season at Nico's Prize Boutique!

FORUM GAMES POLL RESULTS
Using the community vote results, voiced feedback, and our own internal discussions, we have decided to prevent forum games from appearing as latest forum activity on the front page.

Forum games activity unfortunately floods the recent activities section, preventing threads aimed at discussion, sales, bug reports, or suggestions from having a chance to receive more eyes and engagement. We hope to see more threads receive attention and traffic with this change.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We will have more polls in the future, and your responses are valuable to us!

As always, thank you so much for playing and supporting
Dappervolk. We'll be back with more updates soon!

Nico's Autumn Creativity Contest!

You find Nico working tirelessly on their new fall collection, sewing buttons onto cardigans and lining mittens with soft fur trim. All their hard work is paying off, but autumn will swiftly pass them by if they spend its entirety tucked away in their cozy tent.

Welcome to Nico's Autumn Creativity Contest! How about encouraging Nico to enjoy the season to the fullest by recounting some of your own favourite pastimes? Submissions close on October 14th, 11:59PM DVT!

Welcome to Nico's Prize Boutique, the shop that takes currency exclusively obtained in staff forum contests.

NEW ITEMS
There are 6 new clothing items available for Polished Buttons!

NEW PET
There is a new pet species and it's hatched from the Aquatic Tulip!

AUTUMN ITEMS
Additionally, the following Autumn seasonal items will be stocked in Nico's Boutique until the end of this autumn season at the end of November.

They cost potatoes rather than polished buttons to add a small potato sink for this season.
This seasonal item stocking is a temporary measure to get seasonal items circulating until we can focus on events again!

We hope you have fun with the new and recurring items and we're looking forward to seeing everyone's fall entries!

Thank you so much for playing and supporting Dappervolk.

FUTURE EVENT PLANS
We were recently asked a good question by our community, so we'd like to summarize our plans here regarding our current status on new events. You may have noticed that we haven't had any large scale seasonal Deity events in the last while, this is because we're focusing on permanent updates in order to improve on the overall gameplay and permanent content.

Once we've completed our more immediate planned projects (Vaer Balancing, Tradesmarket updates, etc), our plan is to start events back up and work on those in tandem with additional permanent updates in the future. Our plan is to start seasonal events again some time in 2025!

UPCOMING NICO CONTEST
A new Community Manager run Nico Contest will be starting up some time this month. We hope everyone has fun with it!

As always, thank you so much for playing and supporting

The Anniversary Night Deepens!

The last of the slumber party attendees have drifted off into dream land, and Nico collapses into a cushion. What time of day is it?

Morning.

Dusk.

Night time.

Welcome to the final installment of the Anniversary Festivities! Thank you for participating thus far, may you enjoy the Gala and rest well at the slumber party until celebrations end on July 12th!

You may have noticed the polls being up at the top of each Anniversary news post, stay tuned for a community created item at the end of the event!

With this final installment, you may also notice a new interaction within the Pearl Gala quest.

After putting together the rest of the Slumber Party supplies, Nico collapses into a heap of blankets and pillows clearly exhausted but with a satisfied smile.

Sleepily, they reflect that perhaps this was just their subconscious way of getting themself to finally take a good rest. They're so used to constantly being busy that it's been difficult to slow down once in a while.

Don't forget to enter the Avatar Contest and Custom Giveaway if you haven't yet! They're both ending at the end of July 3rd, so this is your 24 hour notice!

Another Custom Giveaway will be going up later in the month that will be on site only - open to non-first time owners as well to make up for the empty cycle from May.

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to everyone - veteran or newbie - for spending time in the world we're building with Dappervolk! We're looking forward to what's to come and taking these steps together with our community. Here's to the future and all of its possibilities!
