Please bear with us on the monthly bags, as we have been unable to code them yet due to the server problems we experienced the other day. If you find that the new companion effects are not working, don't worry! We'll have it all sorted out ASAP!

Keep an eye out for when we add the Baby Tyrannosaurus Rex to the donation page! This adorable little rex will give your dog +5 energy every half hour, and as with the bags we'll replace the old Christmas donation items with the baby rex very soon. :} We apologize for any inconvenience!

Here's hoping everyone has an excellent new year!

Hello there! Yes, we DO realize there are some issues with crons not working properly (this affects aging, hunger, energy gain, and stat gains/changes from companions). I'm here to tell you - it's okay!

The reason for the issues right now is that we are undergoing a transfer of our database from the old server to a new one.

We're hoping this change will help keep the site from repeating the recently experienced random downtime - which I'm sure you all agree is a GOOD change!

Please bear with us as we make this transition, and in the meantime feel free join us in chat and use the site as normal, but remember that these issues may pop up!

Thank you for your attention, and we wish you all a happy new year coming up!

First of all, many apologies for the downtime Alacrity experienced! There was an issue with the server that proved difficult to resolve, and truthfully, we experienced many problems with it beyond this recent downtime. In light of this, we have switched to a different server that will hopefully not present us with the sort of frequent downtime the last one did. As many of you have noticed already, crons did not run during this downtime, but don't worry! Everything should be back to normal at the next rollover. :}

With that out of the way, I'm happy to introduce another new puppy addition by our talented Xylax!



The Borzoi breed now has its puppy art, and the rest are soon to follow! Due to the busy holiday season, not all items are finished for these new pups, but -most- puppy-compatible items should be working. Please wait until at least late January before submitting any issues about items not showing up on pups, to give the art team time to get them caught up.

Lots of love and Happy Holidays from all of Alacrity staff to you, our wonderful members! <3
