Snow Festival

Polaria says:
Good afternoon to all the five villages! Please excuse my tardiness, these old bones ache a lot in the morning so it's hard to get moving. But despite that, dears, let me introduce myself to the rest of you. My name is Polaria, and I'm the mayor of Tigereye Peak. On behalf of my village and all its residents, we're excited to share the Snow Festival with you!
Around this time of year, the snow fairies come out of hiding play with the residents of Tigereye Peak. We've encouraged them to travel far and wide across Furvilla, so you'll be able to encounter them too! Each fairy has a special ability that'll bring a boon to your villagers. The abilities vary from giving you a cute holiday item to improving your village someway. If you're curious, they're easily viewable here.
If you didn't know, it was a Frozen Leaf Fairy that led the founder of Tigereye Peak to the mountain where we all reside. In the cold of the night, Samuel and his exploration party were ready to give up. But then there was a beautiful golden light, and Samuel followed it to the caves and mountain crags where we live now. Because of this, you often see Snow Festival trees topped with a golden tiger -- a tiger, because Samuel was a tiger, and golden, because of the Frozen Leaf Fairy's beautiful glow.
Fairies will befriend you while you explore or battle monsters. You'll encounter them easily at first, but as you collect a lot of fairies, they will slowly become more rare to encounter. But never fear, dears, this resets at the top of each day, so you can start finding fairies easier again at the beginning of the next day.
We have a lot of simply wonderful holiday furniture that you can obtain from one of the fairies. One tradition we have here in Tigereye Peak is to fill our homes with Snow Festival decorations, and we've made it into a bit of a contest. If you'd like to participate in the contest, decorate your home with Snow Festival items, and then post your home here in this thread. There are some cute little prizes for the participants! (Speaking of furniture, did you know a darling named Darkmoon Dancer is the one crafting all this furniture? She's so talented! What a dear!)
Even our villagers are getting into the spirit of the holiday. Why don't you try putting on the Fluffy Costume if you're a Gembound, Wickerbeast, Dutch Angel Dragon, Deer, Big Cat, or Snuffle? I'd love if you could bundle in something warm, because you know I worry about all of you, right? Now that the snow's drifting from Tigereye Peak, it must be so cold in those other villages... I know Olde Foxbury and Quetzal Palace are used to the cold weather, but I worry so much for you folks in Oceandome and Dragonsmaw Manor! The weather's usually so temperate down there...
There are a lot of cute outfits that our village is producing too, which you can dress yourself in when you're blessed by a Magic Plush. One of the fairies will give you one of those Magic Plushes if you ask it nicely enough! Darlings, please bear in mind these Snow Festival colors will be available only during this year's event, then will retire.
Since the snow is drifting down into the other villages, perhaps you'd like to make a new friend? Our Snowbunny and Snowfox population has simply exploded now that the Festival has come! We'd like to invite you to take one of each with you. Simply click on them to do so! During the festival, these snow critters breed quite fast, with cool-downs of one day. However, when the Festival is over, they will no longer be breedable. Please keep that in mind! If you're searching for the rarer colors of these pets, please be sure to breed them out during the fourteen days of the festival.
Last, we'd love to see how you decide to dress up for the festival! Therefore, we're having another contest, where you can show us your beautiful look, dears. Submit a Paintie to the contest that's themed with the Snow Festival to participate, and I might be congratulating you as one of the best dressed in the Snow Festival! Come participate here!
All of us here at Tigereye Peak hope you enjoy the Snow Festival!
Information Recap:
All items retire on December 29th. Plushes and Furniture items will not be re-released.
Mini-Pets have a 1 Day Cooldown until 12:00 PM on December 29th, in which they become unbreedable and retired.
Fairies are obtained from the Explore and Warrior features, and begin with a 20% drop rate, decreasing by 1% with every fairy found to a 1% drop rate. This resets at the beginning of the next day. Fairies will drop until December 29th.
Contests (house and Paintie) end December 29th.
The current site theme will become an option for use after the Snow Festival as the game goes back to default layout.

Furvilla Launches!
Posted by Mat on 7 Dec 2016, 11:54 am
WOOHOOO!!! Furvilla is launching!
After six months of beta testing, we are happy to welcome all of the furry fandom and beyond into Furvilla! To celebrate our launch, we're hosting a special referral contest with the help of Dandylions LLC, a super talented fursuit making company!
You can win a full suit, partial suit, or fursuit head by participating in our launch referral contest! Any referral you make between December 7 - December 21st is eligible toward the contest. The top three referrers will win a fursuit prize. Check out the page on the Launch Contest for more information (please note the sample fursuit is an example of what Dandylions LLC can make)!
December's Mini-Pets are now stocking in the FurDollar Emporium. These mini-pets have five breeding charges as commons and thirty day cool-down periods, so they should hold their value better! We will be swapping out the monthly mini-pets on the first of the month, meaning the next round comes out January 1st.
The Snow Festival is coming! All the villages of Furvilla will be celebrating the Snow Festival from December 14th - December 28th. During this time, you'll be able to collect items exclusive to this year's snow festival, like a new Furvilla layout skin, home decor, villager colors, plushes, costumes, special effect fairies, and more. Villagers of Tigereye Peak will also be learning a little about their village's backstory in the process!
Home decoration has come just in time for launch! If you visit your Villagers Page you'll see the option to remodel your villager's home so you can start decorating it. You can get furniture from your village's Crafting Shop and go to town with your decorations. Look forward to the Snow Festival's exclusive seasonal decorations as well!
The village mayors are getting comfortable in their new offices and are preparing to communicate with their villages for the first time! Expect each of the mayors to introduce themselves and their village, as well as their plans for the village's development in the next 1-2 days.
Here's to a fine opening!

Beta Content Rule
Another thing before we let you go, a new rule has been added to the Global Rules section regarding Beta Content so please go and give that a read. There is also a corresponding infraction for this rule addition. Be sure you are all up to date on the Furvilla Site Rules and TOS as we head into the Site’s Grand Opening.
This new rule will be going into effect at launch:
Discussion of, reposting of forum content, or screenshots about Beta activity is strictly forbidden by the TOS. Distribution of this information only serves to incite drama and will not be permitted. Exceptions to this rule are any remade threads for sales, role plays, knowledge base & guides, and site resources.
Edit: Moving farther into this, this rule is mainly to avoid reinstating all the drama and fighting from the Beta. Signatures stating that you were a Beta tester are fine. With the new MOD team coming in, I've adjusted how I want to go forward; less infractions for things we can talk to you first on, more community interaction, which hopefully will bring the community together more. Not literally everything from Beta is banned. If you're unsure about if a signature or screenshot you have will be okay, by all means, ask a MOD; Ask me. I dont mind, and neither do they. We're here to be a part of the Community.
Restock Change
And last but not least, all Container Items and Basic Weapons/Shields have been removed from Restock and returned to their original unlimited stock status.

Costume Changes & Paintie Rule Revamp
Posted by Staff on 21 Nov 2016, 12:41 am
Hey there my busy little beta bees! I've come around again with a couple little news announcements for you so please bear with me.
Costume Changes
First up we have some exciting news about Costumes, they will no longer be restricted to the original 6 species! Costumes can now be applied to any of the common species on site so everyone can enjoy the Career Buffs that come along with applying a costume to your Villager. While most species do not have images available now, they may at some point in the future. So if an image becomes available for the species/costume combo on your Villager you will be allowed to convert to that image if you like. You will just need to contact [email protected] with the request.
Paintie Rule Revamp
Second bit of news is that we have made a few tweaks to the Paintie rules to prepare for the site to open and to reflect the change I was just talking about above. Please be sure to do a thorough read through and get familiar with the changes we've made! I know that it's a lot to look through but we appreciate you all taking the time to work with us on this so we can help you keep creating and collecting all those amazing Painties.
Highlights
-Costumed Villagers can now use any (non-limited) base that is available for the species.
-Costume base pieces may be used on any species as long as the Villager has that costume applied.
-Human traits on Painties are now judged with a numeric threshold.
-Prohibited content has been edited to reflect language standards currently being used for the forums and a Profanity tag has been added for those that wish to block these types of Painties.
-The use of downloaded brushes is allowed but proof must be provided that they can be used for commercial purposes.
**the full wording for these rules can be found on the Paintie Rules page**
Thank you for reading and we hope that you all will be happy with the changes we've made!
