Next, I wanted to let you all know that your voices have been heard when it comes to the Rare Item Bone Exchange (this can be found on the Bone Exchange Page). The gamble was just a bit too great and the payouts often were disappointing. Well, lovely Alacrites, you may fret no more!

We've completely revamped the rare item exchange and it now awards a much larger variety of prizes, including past monthly bags, as well as much more valuable items. I encourage you all to go and try a roll of the dice, see what you get... but not before me! ;)

As always, thank you all for making up the most wonderful community around!

The Riddler

... has put a new riddle up for you to ponder over! Can you beat him?

* All Shops now offer more availability at a time. You may now purchase from 1-10 items as before, then 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and finally up to 100 items at a time.

* Soon you may sell a dogs for a set "Bone Price" as well as a "Sale Price" option (This is being worked on as I type, so it may even be available before I hit Enter! Sooooo exciting!)
