DAPPERVOLK'S 6TH ANNIVERSARY

Our 6th Anniversary Event is coming up on June 21st. Time sure flies! Look forward to it!

MORE MERCH POLLS
We'll be posting more merch related polls, including a first sticker batch selection and plushie design vote in the coming months!

DISCORD & ToS UPDATES
This has been on our todo list for a while, and we're hoping to get to it some time later in the month! We'll be making some adjustments to the organization of the Official Discord server and bringing its rules to be more in line with the site's rules. We'll also be updating some areas of the Terms of Service and/or the Rules of Conduct to cover Discord as well as things like our rules against AI usage.

CUSTOM LIMIT RESET TIME
In response to some user feedback, we're planning to change the custom limit reset timer to 8 days and 1 hour instead of just 8 days, this way the reset time will shift cycle by cycle which would be beneficial to users in varying timezones. This change should start going into effect by the next cycle.

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

POLL: Plushie Plans!

What should our first plushie design be?

Runty Turnipling

Bearnard

Turnipling (Regular)

Celestial Pup

Hello everyone! Here is a poll to determine which option is the most popular for our very first plushie design. We'll also be doing subsequent sketches for additional plushie polls to determine how the plushie will look.

Check out our previous merch polls: #1 - General Poll & FAQ • #2 - Pet Sticker Theme Poll

Here are a few Q&A's about plushies and our merch plans surrounding them!

What will the plushies look like/Can we see previews before we vote?
This poll is just to determine the subject matter, and we'll be making several visual options for the winning plushie to be voted on after!

Will this be the only Dappervolk plushie?
Depending on interest and how the first batch goes, we're planning to make other plushie designs down the line if we can!

How will distribution/ordering work?
It's too early for concrete info on this yet, but we're looking at a preorder system that is batch based. This would be the most sustainable way for us to distribute.

...more

POLL: Pet Stickers!

What theming system should we use for pet sticker batches?

Environment Theme - Grouped based on location and habitat (ie. swamp pets, fields pets, etc)

Colour Group - Grouped based on colours (ie. pink pets, green pets, etc)

Creature Type - Grouped based on pet species (ie. cats, frogs, etc)

Hi everyone! In this poll, we'll be looking at the type of bundling everyone would prefer for pet stickers specifically. We have a lot of pets with many favourites across the board so we're hoping this helps us narrow down how to tackle getting sticker merch printed.

We'll also be doing a subsequent poll to decide on which batch of stickers to do first, after we figure out the best bundling style. More polls are upcoming for other types of merch as well!

Check out our first merchandise related poll here.

Here are a few Q&A's about stickers and our merch plans surrounding them!

Will we get stickers that aren't pets but also items/NPC's too?
Yes! Our initial focus for polling is pet stickers simply because the bundling is so difficult to decide on due to how many pets we have. We'll be hosting more polls for other sticker types as needed.

What kind of stickers will they be? What's the pricing/ordering going to be like?
We're still looking at various options, but for pets we would like to print them as singular die cut style stickers. It's too early for any pricing announcements but the ordering will likely be preorders that are batch based.
