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!

July's theme is the Shrouded Berserker!

DAPPERVOLK 4TH ANNIVERSARY CONCLUSIONS
We have one more installment of content coming up in the next couple of days for Dappervolk's 4th Anniversary! If you're wondering what the polls in each update mean, stay tuned for a small surprise at the end of the event.

DATABASE UPDATE STATUS
This month, we're aiming to finish with our internal version updates and get various bugs related to the updates fixed up, such as post edit issues, post tag limits, etc. These updates will help us greatly in keeping the site secure and allowing future updates to go more smoothly. Thanks for your patience!

VAER REEF BALANCING UPDATE
We're chugging along on our upcoming Vaer Balancing update. Along with the expected bells and whistles, this update will also include the Vaer Reef affection quests, as well as an additional main story quest which rounds out the main storyline in that area.

We chose the option to write additional story rather than editting the main story because we felt that would be the best way to allow everyone to get on the same page, rather than rolling back quest progress or rolling out quest changes after a storyling has already been released. It feels more genuine to the characters and canon this way.

RECENT POLLS & SITE RIDDLES
You might have noticed some new things lately, such as our news polls and site riddles. What do you think about them so far? We're in the midst of exploring new avenues of content release and would love to hear your thoughts!

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

The Celebrations Continue!

Attendees are filing in to the large slumber party tent that Nico has diligently set up, some are drooping sleepily while others are still bouncing off the walls with energy. Nico asks you to suggest a game to play to wind down.

Musical Chairs.

Pin the tail on the Turnipling.

Pillow Fight.

Welcome to the second installment of the 4th Anniversary Festivities!

Nico has been working quickly and furiously, filling the orders of ever more slumber party goers requesting various sleepwear. They vaguely wonder if they've bitten off more than they can chew, so to speak.

Another Custom Maker Giveaway is now live!

Welcome to the 4th Anniversary!

Nico is hurriedly preparing for both the Pearl Gala as well as something else. Intrigued, you ask them what's going on, and without context they ask you to pick between three different decorations. What do you choose?

Balloons.

Streamers.

Fairy Lights.

Welcome to Dappervolk's 4th Anniversary Celebration! We're so happy you're here with us to indulge in the festivities of both the Pearl Gala and Nico's Pajama Party.

EVENT DURATION ♦ June 21st - July 12th

While helping out with an abundance of orders for the Pearl Gala, Nico is beginning to feel the fatigue and has decided to also simultaneously organize a slumber party for Gala goers to have some restful nights away from their hastily built travellers' tents.

The busy tailor is nothing if not motivated, always planning things even if what they truly need is a good long nap.

The Pearl Gala Gift Shop has been stocked with various sleep wear for the Pajama Party, with more being added as Nico churns out new designs.

All new items this year can be obtained from completing "The Pearl Gala" quest and other Peddler's Port dailies for a week.

The Pearl Gala returns in full force this year, with all items returning in the gift shop as well as trinkets being given out through many avenues.

Pearl Trinkets can be used to buy Anniversary items.

They can be obtained in the following ways:

Anniversary Daily Quest: "The Pearl Gala"
Agnes' Daily Gift Quest
Officiator's Official Token Exchange Quest
Random Events
Random Alchemy
Starry Night Minigame
Adventuring
Participate in the Pearl Gala Avatar Contest

There is an Avatar Dress Up Contest open throughout the event!
All contest submissions close on July 3rd, 11:59PM DVT to allow time for judging, and prizes will be distributed in time for all currency to be spent.

4 New Nico's Prize Boutique items have also been added to the shop!

PEARL GALA ITEMS

Thank you so much for playing and supporting Dappervolk all this time, we'll be back soon with more updates!

POLL #1: Monthly Pet Bundling Options

When a monthly set includes a pet, what kind of bundling would you prefer?

Premium chests should stay the same and include the pet hatching item as it was in past months, with the pet hatching item also being sold separately for 500 turnips.

Premium chests should contain only the clothing items at a discount, with the pet hatching item sold separately with its own discounted bundle.

There should be 2 different chests, one which includes just the clothing and one which includes both the clothing and pet hatching item.

Voting ends on June 20th, 12AM DVT

Hi everyone! After reading and observing user feedback about the cost of premium chests when a hatchable is included, we have decided to look for your direct feedback on this in the form of a poll.

We have some propositions on what we could do as an alternative, so please cast your vote and comment your thoughts on what you'd most prefer!

NOTES

Regardless of voting outcome, we'll be mindful of the pricing on monthly item totals in order to stay consistent with the discounts that have typically been offered.
Option #3 means the creation of a different chest for just the clothing , with the new chest containing only clothing.
Feel free to suggest your own ideas if the poll options don't quite cover what you would prefer.
These three options are compiled from what we've seen most frequently on the Suggestion Forums and are also the options that are most feasible for us!
