News Archive: Week 31, 2021

Thank you everyone for participating in this year’s Quest-a-thon! We’ve started giving out the basic prizes and will be working on the prize for the top 100 folks over the next few days.

Just a reminder of what these prizes entail:

• Completing at least one quest got you: 1 pet slot, the style hoodie (which you can transform!), 5 referral points, 10 loyalty points, and the Questin' Hard achievement. This achievement gives you the forum title “Questing hard, or hardly questing?” which was the most liked suggestion in a past news post because I forgot to do a poll. SORRY EVERYONE.
• Originally, we had planned that if you completed 100 quests you would get the Green Sun Sparkle HA border. Due to some programming issues, we’ve changed it to having quested at least three days (no cap on to how many quests just the fact you did some!). So if you fit that, you get the Green Sun Sparkle HA border.

Note: The event says “total completed” and should say “days of quests completed” for some, it's been updated but the first few to get the event have the old messaging (before we sorted out the green sun sparkle HA border issue)

Second note: We're aware of the issue with the achievement being unlocked, and are looking into it.

Have a [I]rockin’[/I] good time with this month’s Collection from the Cash Shop.

You can also purchase one of our older August Donation Presents or Collections!

I knew you’d come through! I just got a message from Jogoh and Dara. They’re feeling a little under the weather, but otherwise in good spirits. Unfortunately, they didn’t get much new information. Dara said it felt like he was being pushed away and he can’t recall more than that. Jogoh, however, said she saw a very brief glimpse of something. “A broken stone face in the sand.” That’s what she said, couldn’t say who it might’ve been. This whole thing is just terrible, isn’t it? I hope we can put an end to all this soon!

Oh! I forgot the most important part! When they came to, they said a creature burst out of the workshop and took off into the sky. They sent this… thing… along and said you’d know what to do with it.

Maybel hastily unfurls a roll of fabric, revealing a pair of Possessed Fabric Shears. She implores you to be careful before bidding you farewell.

While it has been fairly quiet since Mattieu’s possession, you figure it would be a good time to check in with Esther. You find her in her usual place, but she’s not alone. Maybel, the minion caretaker, is patiently explaining something to her as you walk in. The older woman catches sight of you and waves you over.

My goodness, you’ve got quite the timing! I was hoping to speak with you. Esther’s got all the creative-types giving updates to her so we can try and put a stop to these possessions. That’s going fine, and she says no one has missed a check-in lately, but I can’t stop thinking about the things poor Mattieu wrote about. Specifically, “the floating market in Shengui Guo.” I know, that could mean anything…

I’ve got a dear friend there by the name of Dara. Now, I don’t think he’d be a target, but there’s that lovely girl, Jogoh, he’s sweet on that certainly could be. She works in that floating market, makes the most beautiful clothing! I spoke to Dara a day ago and everything was fine, yet I can’t shake this feeling that something’s happened. Esther tells me she can’t spare the resources to check up on everyone individually, so would you mind indulging an old lady and making sure they’re all right?

Be the best gardener of murder plants you can possibly be with the help of Quentin!

Let the Neugarten festivities begin!

To start things off, the Neugarten themed stalls are open! Visit Local Fresh Wholesome for any local made items as well as some delicious foods, Shanti has a stall full of sustainables, and as Rumi puts it “Still here, still vegan”.

Anne is once again running the Brewery since her uncle Gunter is still silently in ice jail because he done did a murder.

The delicious food trucks will be brought back around midway during the holiday!

Neugarten will end on August 13. At the end of the holiday, the stalls close once again until next year and the food trucks will disappear off into the sunset so make sure to grab items while they’re available!

The spectrum and blacklight donadak have had a refresh! Adopt one of these cuties now, or else. (Or else you'll be lonely without a donadak friend)
