i haven't actively been on this site for 2 or 3 years. i'm just curious - can anyone give me some major highlights to stuff i've missed? there's been layout changes and some new features, which is kind of confusing. any cool event unroll/happen?

well like last month we had quest a thon which was a site wide event where if we all did 500k quests, we got a free pet slot. and we just had a plot end a few days ago. we also had a plot last morostide.

There's a great review of 2014's main news events here. c: Looking through the news archives would probably be pretty helpful too, if time-consuming. We've had quite a few new shops / currencies open, most of which you can access here. You can now swap skins (zombies, zapper skins, etc.) in the beta wardrobe, which is pretty cool. :D

i just noticed the skin thing! it made me super excited, since i've had this zombie skin for yEARS. i've never gotten rid of it since i was scared of losing it, so that's awesome.

Yeah, it's one of my favourite new features. :D I can't wait for Morostide to roll around so I can grab my favourite zapper skins. They rereleased a lot of the old zombie skins this year so people could nab up to 3-4 of their favourites, which was a cool move in my opinion. There are also a couple of skins that can be earned from achievements and hopefully more will be added later.
