Hey everyone!

We wanted to let you all know that your comments about the food prices increasing have not gone unnoticed by the staff here at Alacrity. We have reviewed the adjusted pricing of the Gnasher's Shop items and they have been revised again to reflect a more reasonable rate.

Please keep in mind that the prices do still reflect what we feel is a necessary increase to the old food prices. The economy here at Alacrity is ever changing and we are doing our best to keep things both reasonable and fair!

**The prices should be changed at the next shop rollover.**

Also, please keep in mind that while the food is unlimited, it is STILL rotating the stock available in the shop. So the specific food you look for may not always be available, but when it is, you have the ability to buy it.

The Riddler

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

We have some exciting updates for you all! This list will be long, but it's all great, so please pay attention!

• 3 DAYS ONLY Donation Tiers! We are extremely excited to introduce a special sale for buying Bones. This will last 3 DAYS ONLY

• $20-$30: Double Bone conversion! You'll earn 2 Bones for every $1 donated!
• $31-$50: Triple Bone conversion! You'll earn 3 Bones for every $1 donated!
• $51+ : Triple Bone conversion, plus two random rare items!

• The Summer Blowout Sale! - We'd love to direct your attention to the Monthly Shop where you can find all of the old monthly items and companions on sale for a few days! Prices will be higher than they were originally to reflect market value, but this is a great chance for you to catch up on all the items you missed from previous months! This will last 3 DAYS ONLY!

• Unlimited Food - We will be making all food items in Gnashers unlimited! This means you will not have to wait for restock and hope you're fast enough to snag some before the others get it. We are doing this for one main reason--players are hoarding the rarer food items and causing a huge amount of strain on the server because each food item is counted and catalogued separately. Please be mindful of this when purchasing your food supplies. There's no reason now to hoard thousands upon thousands of food items to feed your hoards :)

• Food Exchange - For players who have a huge stock of food that wish to decrease it, we are offering a Food exchange on an individual basis. The conversion rate for a limited time will be 500 food items > 1 Bone. This is ONLY for pre-existing food item stock. Do not be buying food items solely for this exchange. Please submit an issue to the moderator issue hub if you would like to participate.

• Compression Chamber - We will also be working on a compression chamber where you can turn your multiple food items into one mutliple use item. More details on this will be released at a later date, but the general idea is that you can feed 368 cans of food into the compression chamber and it will give you a single can of food worth 368 uses :)

• Monthly Shop/Item Release Dates - We will be moving the monthly shop restocking and monthly item release dates back to the 1st of the month. Ala was designed this way in the beginning, but somehow, we got a bit off track. We're going to correct it this month! What this means is that there will not be July monthlies released on July 15th. To compensate for this, we will be increasing the item stock in August.

• 5-Hour Crons - Thank you all again for your patience with our continued troubles with the 5 hour crons. We believe we have isolated the problem and our wonderful coders are working to fix the issue right now! What the change in code will mean is that 5-hour items will become 4-hour items. For instance, your Fenghuang will now give +20 energy every 4 hours :) Please give our coders another day or so to work on the kinks in the code and then test your items - they should be fixed! We will be working to fix the item descriptions to reflect this change as well.


Whew, that was a lot to talk about! We hope you're all happy with the changes :D
