AEOLIN'S SHIPWRECK

An ocean breeze carries inspiration from some place far away.

FROG UPDATE STATUS
We had a slight delay on our frog undertakings, which is why the froggening will officially begin at the end of this week!
DATABASE UPDATE STATUS
Our codebase updates are progressing steadily, last month we pushed 2 different updates and worked on various fixes for bugs that appeared. We're currently working on the last two upgrades which we're testing internally. We're aiming to do the updates this month, after which we'll be very up to date and have a more secure codebase!
Note that some aspects of the upgrades may require a longer than usual maintenance to go through the whole database. We'll be keeping everyone in the loop on when/if that happens!
UPCOMING NEWS POLLS
Last month, we tried out a different bundling method for pet hatches in the monthly shops. After gathering feedback diligently, we're planning to host a poll about which options are prefered so we can keep it in mind for future monthly shops with pets.
We're also planning on a poll to ask if our community would prefer to not see forum game threads on the latest forum activity box on the front page, as well as other more lore or content related polls!
VAER REEF BALANCING UPDATE
Our artists are getting to work on assets this month for the Vaer Reef balancing update which will include all rebalancing and new content as well as the affection quests and an additional story's end quest. We'll keep everyone posted on our progress!
As always, thank you so much for playing and supporting
Dappervolk. We'll be back with more updates soon!

DV staff is ripping on my style i coined the term "the irin-ing" i did tha THAT WAS ME
This set looks rlly good (likes blue a lot) and excited for the frog update (in danger)
i love transparent parts on clothing sm 😭😭😭💕💕💕
And as a frog enjoyer i cannot wait for the Ribbeting
but... isnt there supposed to a pet to go along with every monthly set? Would be nice to have an equally as gorg pet go along with it?
Happy to hear about the frog update coming, and even more about polls !! These will be really great :D
LunarLoner (#74921) Monthly pets aren't meant to be a thing every month, there are supposed to be rare instead (as it was stated when they first happened, the explanation being that pets hike up the price and they take more time for the Monthly artist to draw compared to clothing)
If it was an Oran pet instead of Pai the playerbase could accept it more, but since they take longer to draw, it makes more sense for them to be more expensive
So overall a Monthy pets each month isn't sustainable for the main artist and playerbase
ohhh ok!
