And with it, new items for our monthly and main shops!



In our monthly shop, we have the following beautiful items!

Congo River Background (Xylax)
Micronesia Lagoon Background (Xylax)
Mossy Forest Background (Xylax)
Flying Charcoal Peacock (Nyctra)
Flying India Peacock (Nyctra)
Flying Jade Peacock (Nycra)
Flying Purple Peacock (Nyctra)
Bird Feeder (Cord)
Bird Nest (Cord)
Black Bird Skull Collar (Nyctra)
White Bird Skull Collar (Nyctra)
White Hen (Nyctra)
White Rooster (Nyctra)
Peacock Earring (Cord)
Macaw Costume (Cord)
Macaw Wings (Xylax)
Peacock Costume (Cord)
Peacock Wings (Xylax)
Hoopoe (Xylax)


And keep an eye out for the elusive Flying White Peacock (Nyctra) who's been spotted wandering here and there!

Our coding for the old peacocks seems to have snatched up the new ones and has applied itself to them! At the moment, we may or may not just let this stay, but if we do fix the coding to do a different effect, an announcement will be made! Currently, they are giving +$10 every 30 minutes. Again, please note that this is subject to change for the time being.

The art team has also produced lots of new main shop items for you to enjoy!

German Shepherd Puppies (Rabby)
Aussie Puppies (Rabby)
Border Collie Puppies (Rabby)
Shetland Sheepdog Puppies (Rabby)
Corgi Puppies (Rabby)
Catahoula Puppies (Rabby)
Trotting Basset Hound (Rixon)
Running Panda Shepherd (Rixon)
Sitting Saint Bernard (Rixon)
Pouncing Calico Fox (Nyctra)
Pouncing Red Fox (Nyctra)
Pouncing Sunglow Fox (Nyctra)
Pouncing Whitemark Fox (Nyctra)
Steep Slopes Background (Xylax)
Falling Yellow Feathers (Xylax)
Falling Blue Feathers (Xylax)
Faux Jaguar Pelt (Xylax)
Faux Amur Pelt (Xylax)



Don't forget to take a look at what we have to offer on the Donation page! The Celestial Hare (Rixon) is this month's Zodiac collectible, and our Panda Bundle contains the following items!

Bamboo Forest Background (Xylax)
Bamboo Chutes (Xylax)
Giant Panda (Rixon)
Cute Red Panda (Xylax)

At the moment, the Giant Panda companion is not coded, but will be announced ASAP! Due to conflicting schedules, I've had a hard time getting in touch with our coder, but not to worry! This will get handled!

Also, as a heads up announcement, Trialing will be taken down for maintenance within the next few days! We have some exciting changes in store, which will make trialing a much more fun and important part of Alacrity the way it once was. It will be down for an undetermined amount of time, but we'll make the changes as quickly as we can, and will be planning out a nice little bundle of items for everyone to enjoy, to make up for the Trial downtime! It's been in need of some heavy revisions for quite some time, and the admins have been discussing this matter for well over a year. Finally, something will be done, and we're certain that these changes will not only benefit Alacrity, but will mean much more engaging and fun gameplay for you, our dedicated and wonderful members! <3

Now we need some help from you! Since things didn't work out with the previous layout artist we were working with, we're on the hunt for a new one! If you know of anyone who is capable of professional level layout-making, not just bare basics, please make sure to refer them to us by submitting an issue to the Admin hub marked "Layout Artist" with links to a gallery/portfolio and means by which we can contact them.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, and have a great month! :D

Hey everyone! As you can see, the monthly shop has been swapped out, but donation items still need swapping and companions need coding. This WILL be done today, but I'm exhausted and I keep nodding off at the computer. XD

So I'm gonna go pass out, and give you all a proper update as soon as I'm awake and get everything finished! <3

Regarding The Guest Account

Hello, Alacrity.

Some of you have noticed that the Guest account has been frozen. We apologize for not saying something sooner, but we weren’t exactly sure how we were going to address the issue, so we didn’t really have anything to tell you.

There were some fruitless attempts to gain access to the database by someone using the guest account. This user never got even near succeeding and no one was ever in any danger of having anything taken from them, but this feeble attempt to gain access to the protected areas of our site brought to light the potential that someone with a great amount of time and skill might (and we stress MIGHT) be able to anonymously gain access to the site by using the Guest account.

To the admin handling this issue, this remote possibility that our users might be victimized by an anonymous attack was enough to warrant a temporary freezing of the Guest account while we assess the security of the site.

To reiterate - NO ONE got in. No one got within miles of getting in. Someone basically threw a rock at the wall. Nothing at all was affected by their ineffective “attempts." It doesn’t even seem likely that anyone who did know what they were doing could get in using the guest account, but we want to check it out and put our security through its paces - just to be extra cautious - and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We hope to have the Guest account open again soon.

Thank you guys so much for your understanding. You’re a great community, and we appreciate it :)

*Sign* Sometimes I wish people do not use skill for bad. This site is to amazing to be taken over, why would anyone want to do that? I wonder, good to hear they didn't touch anything.

Holy Mother of Pearl! That is slightly creepy but ir reminds me of of a toddler punching a heavyweight wrestler and expecting to knock him out instantly..... Well, at least he didn't get far and that is a good thing.

Shame, shame on them, that's so not cool! Joy Hackers aren't fun to deal with they just like messing with people just for their own enjoyment or have nothing better to do or at least the person had a grudge :(
