Hello everyone! We're looking to continue to bolster our Discord Moderation team in response to the rise in activity since launch.
If you'd like to help us moderate the Official Dappervolk Discord Server, all details are below.

The position of a Dappervolk Discord Moderator entails:

• Engaging with the community.
• Answering moderator-related or general site questions in the #dappervolk-help channel.
• Keep channels on topic.
• Being a "Doorman" in the intros channel and giving accepted newbies the potato rank.
• Reporting & addressing minor user misconduct.
  

Once you've read the above info, please fill out the following form and email it to [email protected] with the title: DISCORD MOD APPLICATION

We'll keep applications open until we can assemble a well rounded team.

Due to the potential volume of emails, we may not be able to reply to every application, but thank you to everyone in advance for volunteering to help our community become the best it can be! 

We've recently been working on improving our referral system. This rework should benefit those that play and progress in the game, as well as improve on our security in regards to rule breaking.

• Referring users will no longer receive a referral point right when a user signs up using their referral, but only at different stages of in game progress.
• This means that even though you may not receive a referral point right away, you have the chance to receive multiple points for each user who names you as their referral as they progress through the game.
• All users with referred users linked to their account will retroactively receive a referral point for each progress gate that has been met so far.
  

We're working on refining Adventuring and fixing all bugs related to it. Here are a couple of new updates/fixes!

• Captchas will now no longer take up an encounter! You may meet someone familiar on the road, an official of sorts.
• Your pet's icon will now appear on the Pet Affection Bar's tooltip.
• Various startup/loading bugs have been fixed, we're working to find and fix any additional bugs reported to the forums!
  

• The automatic shuffle function has now been added for when you run out of moves!
• Various bugs such as the scoring bugs are still being investigated.
  

Hello everyone, we are happy to be back with a major announcement regarding our plans and changes for the monthly shops and premium account upgrades! We sincerely apologize that we couldn't get this post out to you all sooner, as we needed time to discuss this matter with the team as well as to make sure the coding aspects of our decision would be possible in the backend. As always, thank you so much for your patience!Originally, our vision was for the site to be a quaint dress-up style game with spinny gumball-type machines to get fun prizes from, as many of us had fond experiences and memories of these when we were younger. This concept was the inspiration behind all of our shops, including the monthly ones! When we released the very first test version of our Turnip monthly shop during beta testing, we got a lot of helpful feedback that eventually led us to make the following changes and additions to the feature during closed development:

• Offered all Turnip monthly items in one set price box.
• Allowed for future opportunities to obtain retired monthly items instead of retiring them permanently.
• Lowered the spin price in Pai's shop, taking into account that turnips are based in CAD.
• Extended the free item claim expiration limit to 3+ months.
• Made spin points non-expiring.
  

Genuine effort was put into trying to find a happy balance of all of the suggestions we received during beta and our original vision for the feature. We had hoped that these changes would remove the harmful aspects of an RLC chance machine, particularly with the addition of the ability to buy a full set of Pai's items for a set price; however, we've read through and listened to all of your recent feedback and have realized that this was not enough. It was never our intention for Dappervolk to engage in harmful aspects of RLC chance machines, so we have decided that it is our moral responsibillity to remove the chance aspect of this feature.

Changes Going Forward
Starting on August 1st, 2020 players can expect to see the following changes to this feature:

• "Pai's Machine of Wonders" will change to "Pai's Shop of Wonders"
• Pai's chance machine will change into a permastock shop (all items at a set price with infinite stock for that month), with free claims and purchase points intact from June & July's records.
• Each item in Pai's Shop from August onwards will cost 200 turnips and will be purchaseable individually.
• "Spin Points" will be converted into "Turnips Spent" which will not expire; each spin point will convert into 180 Turnips Spent.
• Users will be able to claim a free item after spending 2000 turnips in Pai's Shop.
• Free item claims will still expire in 3 months and work the same way they do now.
  

Tied in with our Monthly Shop changes, we'd also like to add some additional upcoming perks to our Premium Badge that will be added from August 2020 onwards!

• Since we're changing Spin Points into Turnips Spent, premium users will receive +600 Turnips Spent bonus per month in Pai's Shop of Wonders.
• Premium users will be able to use a premium-only forum post border through the duration of their premium status.
• Premium users will get +1 additional wardrobe save slot for a total of three additional saved outfits for premium users.
  

We will be posting the updated Premium Perks information into a thread in the Site Announcement forum, which will also be linked to from Agnes' Perpetual Shop.

What Perks do Premium Badges give you?

• +1 Bonus Spin Point for Pai's Machine of Wonders each month you have premium activated, spin points do not expire!
• +2 Outfit Save Slots
• +10 Trades Market Lots at once
• +1 Potato Bonus tasks per day
• +1 Stat Boost tasks per day
• +1 Town Hop per day
• +2 Max items from minigames per day
• +2000 potatoes max from minigames per day
• +2000 potatoes max from forum posts per day
• Free access to premium undergarments in the wardrobe while Premium is activated
  

Note: Perks may be adjusted/added to as time goes on! We will update everyone if we adjust/add new perks in the future.

We realize there was some misinformation present in the notification users got when they activated premium prior to July 1st.

This was the notification users got:
As part of your premium member perks, you have received this month's bonus point for the premium shop. Remember to claim an item before it expires!

The notification should say:
As part of this month's premium member perks, you have received 1 bonus spin point for Pai's Machine of Wonders. All spin points go towards getting a bonus free item claim!

We completely understand that this may change some user's views on whether or not they would currently want premium, so we'd like to offer a turnip currency refund to any user who used their premium badge before July 1st, 2020 and would like it refunded.

Send in a ticket in order to:

1. Get your premium status cancelled.
2. Get a refund in Turnips for the same amount as the cost of the Premium Badge you used.
   

We do have a backlog of tickets at the moment, but we promise to get to everyone soon, no ticket will be missed!

Additionally, there was a bug prior to July 1st in which bonus spin points were not being rewarded yet. We've added +1 spin point for Pai's shop to everyone who activated premium prior to July 1st 2020!

We apologize for the confusion and appreciate all of the patience and support as we get these early site launch issues straightened out!
