We just wanted to quickly updated everyone about a new section that's recently opened up on the forums: Behind the Scenes!
Click the image above to visit it!
We'll be using this forum as a means to tease new and work in progress content to members as well as post smaller updates. It will also be a place to facilitate discussion between staff and members and a place where you can ask us questions!
Also, we've included an update about Zara here, but we realize that not everyone checks the forums for updates so we're also copying what was written there and including it below. Thank you all for your patience and we hope you enjoy seeing some of what we're working on for you!

We (the staff) think it's a good idea to update you all about Zarabeythe and why there has been less activity then we had planned for Misticpets.

Zarabeythe went in for surgery on July 20th (2017). It should have been a simple operation with her return to Misticpets within a week's time. From what we heard, however, it did not go well. There were complications that left her with limited use of her left side, and she was placed in a recovery facility and started on physical therapy. We learned this through contact with her husband in August. The next, and last, update we received was in September. Zara had returned home but was still recovering from the surgical complications. She still needed rest to regain her strength.
We wished, and still wish, Zarabeythe the best on her road to recovery.

So what does Zara's absence mean for Misticpets? We've been working very hard to get around the roadblocks of coding locked features, but some of them are very obvious. We couldn't open Jasper's Circus, we couldn't activate the Gifting Grounds, or the Advent Calender, or Snowball tossing. We won't be able to turn on Lovebugs and Cooties, or Znakes, or Paper Fish (should Zara not have returned by this point).
And, as hard as we've looked, we don't believe we can release new pet colorations either. Or update old ones. This means there won't be new blessings for a while either. The Champion Section of the CS has apparently been turned off, the grace for the month is locked on the Geared Caribyss, etc.
So you'll see some teasers in this board for things that simply can't be updated for a while. We just want to show you, our members, that we are working on things. That there is progress behind the scenes and plans to keep Misticpets active. We'll continue to update everything that we can and get around the "coding wall" to the best of our abilities.
Thank you for sticking around with us during this mess. We're doing what we can for this wonderful community that we love.
