Rule Clarifications and MOD Updates
Posted by Admin-Mat on 12 Jul 2016, 12:26 pm
We have been consolidating and reviewing a lot of feedback on various rules we have, and are happy to announce that all of the updated rules have been released.
1. The Terms of Service no longer forbids breasts, but instead focuses entirely on nipple exposure. Breasts are now allowed on Painties as well as artwork posted on Furvilla provided they follow the nipple rule. We feel this best represents a SFW environment while also not implying sexualization of people with that body shape.
2. The Terms of Service clarify our position on game asset trading with other browser games. The short answer is, we are fine with trading, however, we would like you to wait until the game is out of beta before doing so.
3. The Code of Conduct now indicates that CSS should not be used to cover or alter game stat information, including hiding or altering your or your villager's stats, or replacing your villager's image with CSS.
4. Our Forum Rules have now been updated to indicate that the phrase 'illegal drugs' refers to United States federal law, as there are discrepancies between the laws of different countries regarding what is an illegal drug, as well as individual states within the US.
5. Finally, after taking in all feedback with Painties and speaking with our Paintie moderators, we have completely revamped the Painties rule page in a way we hope clarifies everything regarding Paintie rules. We have been struggling with the inventive ways that players are creating some Painties, but unfortunately some are created in ways we did not intend for our bases to be used. We hope that this guide clarifies what we consider permissible for the use of our bases and helps clear confusion.
That now covers all the rules that have been changed thanks to your feedback. We also wanted to let you know that moderator applications are now closed. We received over a thousand applications and have hired our team. We do not yet have an ETA on releasing the forums as the moderators are occupied with ironing out issues with Painties. We will provide you an update when we have an idea of when the forums will be ready to re-release.
Last, here are a list of changes that have been implemented since Monday, the majority of them from suggestions e-mailed to us:
- grayed out Change Career button when idle
- destroy unwanted recipes from career page
- removed white gradient on long Private Messages
- Transfer Currency / Transfer Item on user page
- horizontal scrollbar appear in the message box when needed
- view all recipes/their reagents for reference: searching items in the museum now provides a list of reagents (for recipes), or a link to the recipe that crafts the item, or links to all recipes that use the item
- placed a button in the blacksmith career page that straight away takes you to repair requests
- Villagers page indicates which villagers are sick and with what
- item pages now include links to NPC shops if the item stocks there
- Paintie Removal button to strip a Paintie from a villager at the user's request
- the following items can now be used from the inventory on villagers who are not the active villager: medicines, pets, recipes, costumes, species potions, hp potions
Mutiny
My user stall alone has earned me 35K FC Today. And that's from normal play, I haven't done anything spectacular. I really don't think 100 FC would make any real difference when dealing with players like me. XD
Banks don't have to have interest rates, though. Their main feature is to help users that easily spend whatever they have on hand. But they can also double as a nice little daily "remember to log in" incentive.
Azzie It would. It wouldn't be the biggest contributor, but it would. A healthy economy will inflate over time, but it should be slow and subtle. Seems like we're already on that path and an additional ~700 FC a week for doing absolutely nothing at all would just put us there faster.
Kijame Yeah. Sometimes my self control is...Lacking. I'd like to make sure I couldn't ruin my plans by buying something I don't need. :P Like 500 lottery ticket entries.
Thank you anon ;0; <333333
I agree about having an optional pin.
I also agree about the no need for an interest on the FC put into the account.
I love having a way to stash my money aside, so that I'm not tempted to spend it... -I put 100FD in there while I wait to hear back from support... A week and a half and still absolutely nothing on my paintie concern :/-
I also love the easy link for the bases <3
Nymphie It's bad luck. I too went through a ton of potions earlier trying to get one to work. Just keep trying or go to a higher potency.
Mutiny People are getting more then 100 FC each hour from playing with their animals, I don't think that giving people 100 FC a day in interest will contribute to inflation.
Mutiny I agree on the bonds. That's a kind of interest thing I could get behind. I've seen it on another site where they had different "Plans" that had different lengths and subsequently different interest. The longer the plan, the better the interest obviously, and your money was untouchable for as long as that plan went on. Imo that works quite well.
I've used 10x bottled rainstorm on my girl and she can't be healed ;___;
does using medicine on non active villagers actually work? Do i just have really bad luck? v___v
For the bank interest stuff...I really don't see why it would or should provide interest. The reason banks provide interest in real life is because they use the money stored there to do business with. It's profitable for banks to store your money even when they provide you interest. On sites like this...It isn't. There's no reason why you should get interest. I suppose the idea might be to keep money out of the economy so that things stay rare? But I don't really think that providing everyone with more and more money is a good way to keep people from spending it.
I have no problem with a bank system. I think in the storage sense it's good for self control. Heck, one thing I don't think I've ever seen but which I'd really really like is if our bank could do bonds. That is, I'd be able to put a certain amount of money in and no matter how much I kick and scream about needing it back I couldn't get it until a certain amount of time has passed. Now that would definitely help me not spend while saving!
Anyway, if interest were to be implemented I think having it be very low would be for the best. No more than a few FC a day/week. If it were as much as 100 a day it would end up inflating costs pretty gosh darn fast.
Fabric Oh yeah, a pin would be great too!
As long as it's optional as you said because I don't think everyone wants to deal with a pin but it's a feature I would appreciate.
