Yes, the art is different.

All of the previous breeds were done by the same artist. It is hard to match someone style completely. I personally like the new breed art just as much as the old.

We are working hard to add breeds and such which we hadn't done in 10+ years.

Please try to be understanding! We are trying to keep the site going. And adding new content is a big part of that. Henry has been making wonderful updates and we have so many ideas for the future.

All the markings and such are done by me. If there is something you would like me to change about them please feel free to privately message me.

Personally I love the new art, and I think different artists have different styles. with that said, what your noticing is probably a couple things.

1/ Its just Bobbie, and me doing art for items and layers of dogs , and Seafaeral doing the line art.. Part of this may be down to us learning how to layer the dogs properly.

2/ I think your referring to the strength of the brush strokes? I'll ask her if we can possibly scale them back. Were redoing the images system after I've got auctions and the 'header' (all the stuff that loads around the main content window, excepting chat) modernized. For me , I like them, but its easy enough to prepare multiple line arts


Keep in mind We're still getting going. I'm almost through modernization of the systems , and I'm not an artist, so What look good to me is not necessarily whats good yet :)

The server migration should now be complete!!

Only things left to wipe away most of the old code now are the auction and the page headers .

We’re getting close!



Since traffic is a bit low this week,We will conduct some emergency server maintenance and retire the old server.

Chat will be offline today
And www will be down for maintenance from midnight PDT until 7am PDT.

After that we’re off the old cluster and should have much (more! ) improvement to speed and stability

Chat should be moved over. This evening www will be transferred next

user shops -- live

user shops are live... The new features:
1/ shop log . tracks all your purchases , sales,edits etc.
2/ improved buy / sell functionality. (no more transaction errors)
3/ layout customization (the web has changed in a decade, some css security has to be done) , shop names, image, description, custom css .
4/ persistent pricing (you can set a price for an item, and when you restock it, that price will remain)


more features coming soon...
I'll be posting the current update without too much additional feature work b/c I want to prepare for halloween. but this is what will be coming soon

1. 'restock' button. this will allow you to click an item profile and pull all the stock from your inventory straight into your user shop. no more fishing. will come in varying restock flavors : '1 item' , 'selected items' , 'everything'

2. sales stats. think leaderboards , your personal use, etc.

3. make an offer.
this is kind of a big deal. I spent almost a month on this in august waffling back and forth when working on the auction.

The best answer for this is 'private chats' that allow you to post an offer into a chat'

so private chat will be coming back to alacrity, as will offers.

why so much work on shops and auction
Firstly, these are more or less the last pieces of the original alacrity ( and 1 other lurking software) that need to be redone. The old code needs to be retired so we can start making large scale improvements to the site.

Second, I want to add daily tasks for players, so they can earn in game money, and have new things to do. Players will be able to contribute and take part in the local game economy, such as crafting of various items (food and other consumables for starters) . To craft, there will be some fetch quest style activities or collection quests and what not. This will allow players to sell their materials or produce at the market

We need a shop for that.

housing and such will also require labor and materials, so again, players can offer services through this facility as well.
