Hello! Quick reminder about the Custom Wearable Masquerade Contest, for anyone who has submitted or are thinking about creating a submission - while there will be no formal denial process, there are a couple recurring issues we're seeing in entries, and we would encourage you to review the Custom Wearable standards before creating your submissions!

A few resources for this include the main Custom Wearables page and The Official Illustrated Guide to CW Denials!

A frequent issue we're seeing that does not relate to site art quality, however, is that item backgrounds should have white, not transparent, backgrounds. Please double check this when saving - only your overlays should be transparent, thank you!

We hope you’ve been practicing your dance moves because the Annual Masquerade Ball is finally here! Pace yourself, because the dance floor will be open until 11:59pm on April 8th! The Masquerade Forums will close at 11:59pm on April 9th!

Use the following code in your status and other places to get friends (and strangers) to share a dance with you!

Just a reminder that this is a Masquerade, so make sure you’re wearing a mask when you go to dance! Migrating Masks has opened back up and has plenty of masks for you to choose from.

Any item with the work ‘mask’ in the name will work for dancing, rarity doesn’t matter!

Stop by the Libertine Lounge for some drinks and nibbles in-between dances! This is the only wave of items for the Libertine Lounge.

This is the first wave of items for the Menagerie! There will be one other wave released later in the holiday.

Keep an eye out for Boudewijn while you dance. If you manage to win a duel with him, he’ll give you a bag of trinkets. He won’t actually kill you in a duel, so no worries there!

All dressed up and nowhere to go.

This weekend is bonus weekend for the Cash Shop! If you buy Cash Shop Credits this weekend with Braintree/Paypal (Bloodstone Sun) or Stripe (Bloodstone Stars), you'll get one of these awesome items plus 20% bonus credits on top of your purchase. The bonus weekend will end at 11:59pm on Tuesday!
