Updates on Recent Changes!

Hello! We have a few more updates to share with you today:

Changing Pet Names!

There is now a way for non-gold accounts to rename their pets! Now that pet names are no longer unique, we wanted to make renaming pets easier and more accessible. Instead of making it something you buy, we're now only limiting it by frequency:

  • Regular accounts may rename one pet per week. That's any pet, but only once per week.
  • Gold Accounts will continue to work how they have: one name change per pet, per month.
The weekly limit resets on the rollover from Sunday to Monday each week, and the monthly limit resets on the 1st day of each month.

Pet Name Loyalty Totems Some of you may have noticed an issue with Pet Name Loyalty Totems: It would not allow you to change the pet's name, but it would take the item. If this happened to you, please file a ticket and you will receive be given a new Loyalty Box as reimbursement. In addition, those who were affected by this issue will be given a name change that will not count towards your account limit.

The Loyalty Petname Totem is no longer available. Those who currently have a Loyalty Petname Totem can change it back into a Loyalty Box to choose a different prize.

Subscriptions: Loyalty Benefits

The Councilor and Goddess plans now have an extra benefit: stamps for your Loyalty Rewards Card! The Councilor plan will give you 1 stamp and the Goddess plan will give you 2 stamps.

For those who currently have an active Councilor or Goddess subscription: We are going to award these loyalty stamps to you retroactively over the next day or two. You will receive a sidebar notification once your new stamp(s) have been added to your account.

Other Notable Changes

  • The Pet Friends page has been updated to require both a pet name and username when you add a new pet friend, so that it can look up the right pet.
  • Buddy Gold Accounts can now be given to users who already have a Gold Account, and will be added to their existing GA time!
  • The new pool for clearing legacy names at the Bathhouse now has a clear warning in the confirmation pop-up that it will NOT change your pet's name - only the legacy name info will be cleared. This has also been made clearer on the Change Name page.

Oh rad!

Just making sure I get this: So if I had a GA, I could change all of my pet names right now, but with a regular account I could only change one name this week? Had to reread that bit a few times lol, I'm tired.
