hi everyone, this is uhe, as the grand opening event comes to a close and we reach our month milestone, i realize how much of the species is still left unclear to everyone, as well as how many misunderstandings there have been over the fast changes in the community.

i’ve taken it upon myself to clear up some of these misconceptions, to give a better understanding of what’s going on and hopefully ease some worries.

Monthly Limit

as you (probably) know, recently we implemented into our art appraisal system, a monthly limit to how many submissions you may send to the prompt. i’m going to answer some concerns regarding this change.

“So we can’t post art to the site anymore/draw our foxtopi anymore?”

not at all. it was never our intention to stop you from continuing to participate, the monthly limit is ONLY on the amount of submissions sent to the art appraisal prompt.

“Why the change?”

as an ARPG the foxtopus species at current has very little to offer regarding items and anything else that can be sold for our group currency. to note, the original system i created was meant to serve 150 members or less, which was why it was so easily exploited in the past. the changes were meant to happen gradually, but with the species growth we had to change things fast instead. this is by no means a bad thing, it’s just a bit of a surprise we had to adjust to as soon as possible. so in short, we don’t want this to get boring right out the gate. which is what farming can do to a species with very little to buy and use group currency for.

“So we’ll never be able to submit more than 4 submissions a month?”

no, this is a temporary limit as we work to make more ways to use your group currency beyond redesign items and MYOs. currently staff has many plans in the works and while we are working as fast as we can, we need patience from everyone as we work things out and make sure they are as functional as we can possibly get them before release.

The Winter Event

as we are a new species, we are still working things out which is why much needed to be changed within the first few days of the event happening. i understand how these changes may be disheartening, especially since we did have to take items away, but it is in our best interest to make everything about events fairground for everyone as we feature limited items.

it is important to keep in mind that this is not the only opportunity to receive these limited items and that there will always be opportunities in the future.

i can’t force anyone to believe me when i say this but every change we make is in favor of fairness in the species as well as making this an enriching and fun experience for everyone. we hope that you will continue to support us in the future and understand the changes that need to be made in order to make this species work. we also hope you’ll look forward to the projects we have coming in the future.

thank you so much for what you’ve all done for us so far <3
