New ARPG Submission Formatting

We have completely revamped the ARPG submission page with an all new format! This new format will now allow you to readily add titles, descriptions, and tags to your pieces right as you upload them, instead of after approval! Furthermore, this new system has some very important backend changes that will make it much easier to implement certain features reliant on art in the future.

Please note: the URL associated with the ARPG submission form has been updated as well. As of now, the old URL will redirect to the new page, but we recommend updating bookmarks to the new URL as needed.

Additionally, alongside some backend changes, the following updates to Realm Familiarity and Origin Story quests have been implemented:
- Realm Familiarity quests may now have background characters tagged on submission. The Lythian listed in the first tagged slot will be the one who receives quest completion credit.
- Origin Story quests may now only be completed for one character at a time. As with Realm Familiarity quests, background characters can still be featured and tagged on submission. The Lythian listed in the first tagged slot will be the one who receives quest completion credit.

Finally, you are now able to tag companions and NPCs in your pieces, now making it all the easier to keep track of who is in your art! Companions and NPCs cannot earn things like badges or experience, but the ability to tag them pairs with the next following change.

Art Galleries for Companions and NPCs

Companions and NPCs now have their own on-site index galleries! When tagged in a piece, it will now show up on their pages, much like on a Lythian's index entry. You may also go back and tag previously submitted pieces with NPCs and companions!

Note: NPCs will always visibly display all submissions they are tagged in, regardless of other visibility settings.

Removal of "Commissioner/Artist Cut"

Due to a multitude of factors, such as the updated implementation of realm familiarity experience and attempts to streamline manual tasks, we have decided to remove the Commissioner/Artist cut previously applied to commissioned works. Going forward, all art will solely give currency to the person who submits the piece! This additionally means that experience will always be in full to the featured Lythian(s).

Moving forward, distribution of currency earned by submissions should be discussed between users involved in the commission exchange, and we will not be intervening unless given proof of an individual not carrying through with deals (ie, promising Loonoles from a piece but not following through on it, which would be considered scamming).

Lost Bells Prize Expansion

The plushie and frame tier prizes (Bell Plushie and Arcade Frame) have been added to Lost Bells. Additionally, the score requirement for the Chime Fish Sticker prize has been slightly lowered to accomodate the new prize tiers.

There is no version update associated with this; Lost Bells v.1.4.0.0 remains current.

Spring Events

Our next event is scheduled for March this year. Some recurring event features that happen February, such as Cupid's Helpers, are also scheduled to happen alongside the March event, and will not be ocurring in February. Thank you for your understanding and we hope you enjoy February's upcoming updates!

Known Issues

There is a known issue after this update wherein some pages of the art gallery load exceptionally slowly. This is our top priority to fix as quickly as possible.
 - UPDATE: This should be noticeably improved.

Reminder regarding site contests Before we dive into the winners and end credits for the FoF, we'd like to remind all of our users who participate in any of our site contests that you need to read the rules of the contest. Not just skim them, really read them. In particular, you should be keeping in mind the following rules (these rules carry over to all site contests, so reading and understanding them will really benefit you). "Entries must relate to Wajas in some way, you may explain how when you post your entry." You don't have to be an artist, you don't have to draw a Waja, you can do something as loose as a color scheme that follows a specific Waja (and explain that's what it is / who it follows), or even around an item we have on site. Either way, it is mandatory all entries relate back to Wajas in some way. Going forward, any entries that don't clearly relate to Wajas will not be eligible for any prizes, including the participation prize, without notice .

The bait has been hooked, fishing line cast and we have caught shermanball for this weeks aquarium contest winner!

Happy Saturday, CE Players!

We have a ton of fun releases planned for the month of February. Keep reading to learn more.

New Body Marking Gene
We have been brainstorming new ways to make a custom body color through layering soft full body markings. We will be releasing our first ¢soft hue¢ body marking into the magic shop and alliances in February! Here is an example of a soft pink hue on a black body and a white body -

Our first round of soft hue releases will include (5) natural colors releasing into the magic shop and (3) fantasy colors for each alliance! We will also post these as a spotlight package for collectors.

New Secondary Marking Colors
We have finally had the time to release the Layne main body marking as a secondary marking! This marking is so versatile and will make an excellent addition to the alliances. Black, White, Grey, and Chestnut will be released into the magic shop. (5) fantasy colors will be released into each alliance. Be on the lookout for a spotlight package for these genes as well!

New Body Colors
Next up, we will be releasing (11) new body colors to the various alliances! These bodies will not stock in the magic shop. We will be releasing matching feathering, wings, and locks into the alliances as well. Here is a preview of the colors dropping into the Iazinata and Cacearune alliances!

Current Auctions
We currently have one CE premade breed and one gene auction live in the forums!

Greek Dryad Breed
