This month's Upgrade Only and Donate Only item is the Aviator Cap (by Wysper) which, when applied, automatically trains your dog by +0.2 in a random event every fifth hour, with unlimited uses! Be sure to keep a look out for this item's icon on the donation page!



Also, very soon, when you go to the Monthly Shop page you should see a nice, shiny new banner displaying this month's theme (by Xylax)! We will be updating this banner every month, to help make our Monthly Shop more aesthetically pleasing for everyone. :D The art team would like to thank all of the users who suggested and supported this month's theme; we've all had a blast with it and hope you'll enjoy it!

You may also notice that we have a brand new Main Shop, as well, aptly named Decor Galore! This shop is a place for decorative items such as food and water bowls, toys, plushes, environmental aspects like rain and stars, etc. while Hardcore Pups will still be home to our collars, harnesses, and other wearable items. We hope this will help keep our items more organized, as well as provide more space for our ever-growing inventory.

Last, but not least, a brand new rare item is available, called the Magical Food Bowl! This item, similar to the Magical Water Bowl, helps to train your dogs, but only half-way, and due to that will be cheaper than it's watery counterpart! :} We hope this will provide an affordable alternative to our players in need of giving a boost to the time it takes to train their dogs, but may not have been able to afford the Magical Water Bowl. Be aware, this is not a replacement! This item is an addition to our system, and will not be taking the place of the water bowl; it is simply a related rare. :}

As always, hats off and many thanks to all of the artists and our dedicated coder for all of their tireless efforts to bring new, exciting content to Alacrity! And many thanks to all of the users who support us and offer up ideas for the future of this site. <3 Please enjoy, and we'll see you again next month! ;D

Hey guys!

I've had a new feature added to the profile section of your pages.

You will notice a "Breedings Left" line, with either a + or - number under your Training Sessions.

As you are all aware, upgraded accounts have an unlimited number of breedings per month, while basic accounts have a limit of 2 per month, that DO roll over and accumulate each month.

As of the time of this posting, anyone with an upgraded account will see a rather high - number. Please do NOT worry about this, it's just the counter on how many times you have bred your dogs. They will reset to 0 when your upgrade expires, so you will not be required to pay them back, so to speak.

I have also asked Kitty to put "unlimited" instead for upgraded accounts, and she is working on adding this as well.

I hope you all do appreciate the work that we all do to make this site enjoyable to all of you!
