Will retire and cycle out of the USD shop on 12/31/2026 @ 11:59 PM, so make sure to grab yours before then!

We are announcing two major changes, so buckle up for a long news post! First up is a change made based on a user suggestion and expanded on by staff! The great Artist Ticket (and Pen) alignment! Originally, we had several spin-off versions of the Artist Ticket that made sense at the time, given the number of artists on the team and how the administration wanted the coins to work. Since then, things have changed! Our teams are smaller, and we've made adjustments to bring the tickets more in line with their USD variants. We've also moved some rules that were previously attached to coins over to the tickets themselves, helping return value to those items, and added some bonus payouts as a thank-you to our artists for being valued members of the team! All newly added or increased bonus payouts are retroactive. All other changes apply to breedings submitted on or after 9/22/2026. For older breedings, you may opt into the new rules if you prefer them; if you do, please note this clearly on your breeding for clarity. Thank you! Now for the changes! Coin Changes:

Sketch Breeding Coin Removed the ability to exclude 2 artists you did not want; this has been moved to the Sketch Artist Ticket.

Holiday Mistletoe All add-ons allowed by LBC have been added to Mistletoe, along with the ability to upload predictions. Holiday Mistletoe has always been meant to mimic LBC, so this was a long-needed update!

Artist Ticket Added to all coins it was missing from except Derp. (Our Derp artists do not wish to be named at this time, sorry!)

Scribble Artist Ticket Changed to: Choose 2 artists you would like for your Scribble Breeding Coin, or 1 artist you would not like. (Down from choosing 3.)

Sketch Artist Ticket Changed to: Choose 1 or 2 artists you want, or exclude 1 or 2 artists you do not want. Added: 5 GP Bonus Payout Price increased in the BP Shop to keep it from paying out more than it costs. (Down from choosing 3, with the exclude option added.)

Speedy Breeding Ticket This was already allowed on more coins than its description stated. The description has been updated, and it has now been added to all coins except Derp as well.

Greater Painted Pen Payout Bonus: Changed from USD to GP. (Previously paid out 10 USD.)

Painted Pen Changed to: Choose 2 artists you want, or 2 artists you want to exclude. Added: 6 GP Bonus Payout All Artist Ticket and Painted Pen items should now include the following disclaimer: Breeding will remain unassigned if the artist goes on break, hiatus, or quits. Note: Staff is actively working on getting the Breeding Team Artists KB updated to help users keep their tickets up to date and avoid breedings sitting unassigned. Keep an eye on that KB for updates, and please keep your tickets as up to date as you can to avoid your breeding not being assigned when it reaches the top of the queue.

Pet and Item Auctions Next up is the follow-up to the Auctions poll we had! A 15-minute automatic Snipe Guard has been added to Admin Auctions, User Item Auctions, and Pet Auctions. We are starting with this because it is the smallest, most stable change we can make to the old site code. We are working on more flexible options, such as opting in or out and more, as part of the recode, where we have more stability to work with these kinds of changes. What is a Snipe Guard? If a successful bid is placed while there are 15 minutes or less remaining, the auction's ending time is moved to 15 minutes from the time of that bid. This gives other bidders a chance to respond instead of an auction being decided by a bid placed in its final few seconds. Why 15 Minutes? The poll was very divided; there was not one clear set time that was overwhelmingly favored. While one option did "win," we also factored in the spread of the other times selected to see whether the overall preference leaned toward a shorter or longer window. Ultimately, 15 minutes was picked for several reasons, but one of the biggest is that outside of large sales like Black Friday or Mayday, users aren't necessarily refreshing the site over and over to check auctions. A longer window gives users a better chance to see and counter a last-minute bid. Staff will monitor how this works in practice, and the time can always be adjusted as needed per feature. If 15 minutes proves too long for large sales, such as Black Friday or Mayday, we can adjust the Snipe Guard specifically for Admin Auctions. Any such change will be announced beforehand. A quick note about Snipe Guard: Back-and-forth bidding is a normal and expected part of auctions, including during the Snipe Guard window. There is no limit on how many times you may legitimately bid against another user, and you do not need to worry that simply bidding frequently will be treated as abuse. We don't expect this to be an issue, but as a just-in-case rule, intentionally misusing Snipe Guard solely to keep an auction open or another user's funds tied up is not allowed. Any concerns would be reviewed individually and in context; normal competitive bidding is not what this rule is intended to address. But don't Big Sales happen in User Item Auctions? They no longer will! Part of this update involved shaking off the dust and fixing the old Admin Auction code, and admins are now able to use Admin Auctions as intended. With that covered, there are also a few other quality-of-life updates that were made! Pet Auctions: Auction Pet now allows you to search for the pet you want to auction; you no longer have to go to the pet's page to find it or face a dropdown of doom. Item Auctions: Create Auction now also allows you to search for an item to narrow down and select it from the dropdown; again, a super-full inventory will no longer plague you with a dropdown of doom. (This works slightly differently from the Pet Auction search due to our goal of making the least invasive patches possible to the old code.) All Auctions: Now have a pop-up confirmation screen that gives you a summary of what you are auctioning, the starting bid, currency type, minimum bid increase, and auction length. You then have a chance to cancel and go back to make changes, or confirm and submit the auction. All Auctions: While the auction is within the 15-minute Snipe Guard window, the current highest bidder cannot increase their own bid. You must wait until another user outbids you before bidding again. Outside of the Snipe Guard window, the highest bidder may still increase their bid normally. All User Auctions (Pet and Item): You can no longer bid on your own auction. Pet Auctions previously allowed this as a way to correct an incorrectly entered starting bid, while Item Auctions already prevented it. Now that all auctions include a confirmation screen where you can review your information before submitting, that exception is no longer necessary. We are hosting some Admin GP and BP Auctions! They will run for roughly a week and can be bid on here! --- Note: The Auction Knowledge Base has been updated with the new rules and changes and is also now linked on all Auction pages as part of the navigation for transparency. Please report any issues you encounter in the Glitches Forum. Please also post any suggestions over in the Suggestions and Ideas Forums. Also, please note that we have a Typos or Misinformation thread under the Think Tank as well, in case you spot something in the KB that is outdated! Thanks for reading, and don't miss out on the news post below this one about Lunar Meteor, and more!

The Lunar Meteor Seasonal Shop is now open! There is an assortment of new pets for you to add to your collection, along with some items, fauna, and clothing from previous years!

Today's update brings you two polls (see the post below for the second) centered around Pet and Item Auctions! Staff is wondering if users would like a snipe guard on pet and item Auctions. While we wait on the recode, the change would likely be static (just a set timeframe), but the ideal long term goal would be to make adding one an option toggle (so the auctioneer can opt in or out) and allow you to pick from common timeframes (or set a custom timeframe). If we add it as optional, it would be listed as part of the auction bid page, whether there is a snipe guard or not. However, Staff also recognizes this would be a large change, since many users enjoy being able to snipe auctions to save currency and wait and time things appropriately. A change like this would allow a more relaxed auction experience because you would not have to wait around and try to snipe and hope someone else isn't bidding more than you, or you forget when the auction you want to snipe is going to end, and you don't get to bid on it. This change would benefit and encourage users to use Auctions more than forum posts, trade posts, or flat sales (in shops). Some users don't know what they want for items and don't want to manage a forum post, and being able to do an open auction and let the market dictate the sale is more favorable. This change would also bring the feature more in line with how auctions typically work on many other sites now, and be more in line with what a new user might expect. It would also come with a slight facelift to add the Knowledge Base link about Auctions with the new terms for transparency. That said, the question is: is this something you want to see updated? Please also see the second poll (post below this) for what you would consider an ideal timeframe for a snipe gaurd/extention. Please reply to this news post with questions or comments; the other poll will have comments disabled to prevent confusion.

Please see the post above: If we did add a snipe guard, what should the static (default) timeframe be? Questions and comments should be posted on the other news post to stop it being lost. Comments on this post will be disabled Multiple choice, but please don't just select all; pick your top choices.
