Good Afternoon, CE players!

We are very excited to announce we have begun working on our upgrades to the Breed Registration process and Gene Management. As you all know, a major hole was found within our breed registry area which was allowing for private genes to be registered to new breeds. Private genes are meant to be exclusive, and due to this issue, we have pushed our registration improvements to the top of our priority list. For those of you who may have overlooked the mini-update sent via PM, we have asked all players to refrain from registering breeds until we announce this release. Please note we will be modifying breeds that have accidentally included a private gene but will address players on an individual basis.

Onto the developmental breakdown! Our new Breed Registration process will require approval from a ¢¢¬Genetic Guru¢¢¬, which will be a new staff type. After ensuring all proposed genes are in-fact eligible for registration, the breed registration will be approved. This will act as a safety net to ensure this hole is never exposed again, and to always keep player commissioned genetics protected. To accompany this update, we will also be introducing approved users of private genes! This will allow players with private breeds (and private genetics) the ability to edit their breed registrations without accidentally removing any genes. Lastly, we will be adding ¢¢¬approved creators¢¢¬ as an option for breed registrations, which will be managed by the breed registry holder. Players may choose to allow specific players to create their private breeds and manage their registration as they see fit.

I hope you all are very excited about the upgrades to breed registration, gene management, and breed registries! More information and instructions will be released when the feature is completed :)

Next up, we will be slowing down for a few weeks to ensure all new bugs have been dealt with appropriately. After having so many exciting new releases we want to ensure the game stays neat and bug-free before moving onto new features. With that being said, the following bugs are next on the priority list for revision:

- Foals automatically going to the player¢¢¬¢¢s account who paid the breeding fee
- Breeding cool down day counter
- Pagination error on Tradelot area
- Horses of any discipline entering competitions (will need additional information and tester volunteer)
- Elder Quest level timeout

Have something small yet annoying in mind that was left off of this list? Let us know in the comments so we can get additional details!

Lastly, we have introduced three beautiful spotlight packages to the Cash Shop under ¢¢¬Spotlight Event¢¢¬. These packages include the Encrusted Genes, Mermaid Wearables, and the Mermaid Gene releases all in neat, separate packages. Check them out here!

That wraps up today¢¢¬¢¢s news post. Be on the lookout for a supplemental news post when our changes to Breed Registration goes live!

We have decided to change the way you are notified about new updates mainly because of load times being slowed down when adding a new post (because its creating all the notifications for you guys ;)) so this will help prevent that now and in the future. Users will get less notices about each specific news post - especially if you have been gone for awhile - you will simply only be notified if you have not yet read the newest news post.

Week 3 of the Turn the Tides event has arrived, and a new prompt is now available on the Storyline event page.

For completing all three weeks, you can earn a MYO for a new subspecies of Orch, as well as make progress toward the final event rewards!

This week is special as it also contains a choice you must make¢one which will affect your path in the event, as well as the future of Lyth as a whole.

Good afternoon, CE players!

We have a ton of fun updates for everyone in today¢¢¬¢¢s news post. Keep reading to learn about our latest feature releases, pending feature revisions, and more.

First off, we are so excited to announce the release of the Celestial Wardrobe! The Celestial Wardrobe is a wonderful area to preview wearables, reorder the layering, and easily unequip items. You can access this new area here! In addition to the wearable area, you can also reorder the layering of wearables from the horse profiles. I hope you all enjoy this update, and we look forward to seeing some beautiful horses displayed in the show and tell channel on Discord!

Next up, we have some fun updates to the battle area to release. We have significantly sped up the load time for initiating a battle, and also added barn segmentation to make horse selection easier. We have also updated the win/loss pages to show the correct horse image and also list your prizes accurately! As a reminder, players can earn special items from defeating NPC characters! We are still hard at work revising the Battle UI, which will include an update to the main page design, and battle outcomes pages. We are hoping to push these changes within the next week, but battle should be bug-free at this time! If you do experience a bug, please post the description in the forum as soon as possible!

Lastly, we have finally released all of our beautiful Mermaid themed wearables and genes for the month of May! We are finalizing our Spotlight Event package, but will also offer a package of ALL released Mermaid wearables for a flat rate of $15, and ALL of the Encrusted body markings for $15. These will not be included in this month¢¢¬¢¢s spotlight event, but we want to ensure everyone has a chance to snag these fun wearables while they are available (they are seasonal). If you are interested in either of these packages, simply reply here with your email address to be invoiced!

Our Spotlight Event Package has a big surprise included, so be on the lookout for a release message this evening/tomorrow morning! It is my favorite release to date!

To wrap up today¢¢¬¢¢s update, I want to give you all a preview of what is to come! We are in the final round of cleaning our brand-new Celestial Map, began revising item cycling to keep the market shops fresh along with the Cash Shop, and have begun updating the battle UI. Have a change in mind that you¢¢¬¢¢d love to see happen? Let us know in the comments!

Good afternoon, CE players!

We have yet another exciting update for everyone! Our primary focus over the last two weeks has been improving speed and revising our item management system. Our clunky inventory page has been replaced by a revised, easy to use design which allows for easy shop management and filtering! The Celestial Map will continue to grow and include landmarks for easy use of items, similar to Adorafly¢¢¬¢¢s Lair. We are working on adding a wearable preview area (which includes re-ordering the wearables) along with other fun mini-games to use food, battle items, etc. These capabilities will still be present in your inventory area, but who doesn¢¢¬¢¢t love another fun landmark on your Celestial Map?

In addition to our Inventory revisions, we are pleased to announce the development of the Celestial Mercantile! This area will serve as a two-part market consisting of an Auction House for horses and items, and a trading post for posting trade lots, sending horses, items, gems, and even barns! This area has been highly suggested and we are thrilled to tease its development. Phase 1 of the mercantile will only include the Auction side, but phase 2 will be the next release (hopefully this coming week). I hope you all are excited about a new method of buying and selling!

In addition to a brand-new landmark, chapter 6 of the Celestial Lore has arrived! Will Nyssa and Ingrid escape the wrath of Evander, their immature boy-king? Find out here!

Lastly, we have a handful of brand-new genes available in the Cash Shop! We are still hard at work transforming the Cash Shop into a mermaid paradise, so be sure to check back regularly for new releases.

We have many more fun additions in the works, but those teasers will be shared in the next news post ;)

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Realm of Lyth¢s first Discord Emoji Contest!
As you may have already guessed by the title, we'd like to fill our Discord with more emojis!

¢¦ Requirements ¢¦

You must be in our Discord server.
You must have an on-site account.

¢¦ Entry Guidelines ¢¦

You may submit up to 5 emojis.
Discord recommends they be 128x128 px in size.
Emojis can be based on Discord emojis, memes, anything really!
Absolutely no NSFW is allowed.

Characters cannot be personal characters that you own, sorry!
For Forim descendants, you may draw Fluff, Charr, Leaff, Saltt, or Murkk.
They must be in their basic forms, no customization of appearance!
Antecedents and Companions may be from the Species Guides page.
You may also use any of our official NPCs, as seen in the shops!

Entries must be submitted to this Google Form.
You can submit your entries separately or in a single submission.
But make sure to save a transparent PNG file in case you win!

Our contest deadline is April 11 at 23:59:59 EDT.

¢¦ Judging Guidelines ¢¦

1. Please understand that we may not be able to have every emoji in the server!
2. Ideally, we'd like to spread them out among the species, so keep that in mind.
- (So preferably no more Symphonies, Natbaktera, or Kella Ser this time!)
3. We also already have some emojis, so similar ones are less likely to be chosen.
- (Dabbing, Big Thonk, Surprised Pikachu Face, Knife Cat, etc.)
4. Think about what emojis and reactions you would actually use!

¢¦ Prizes ¢¦

Of course, chosen emojis will be added into our server for everyone to use!
If your emoji wins, you get a Crafting Loot Box per emoji chosen.
These boxes each have 5 ingredients in them that can be used for crafting!
(Crafting is currently in testing for Patreon subscribers and coming soon for everyone!)

If you¢d prefer something a little more tangible, you may also ask for 50 Loonoles per emoji instead.
Even if you don¢t get chosen, everyone gets the Emojify Achievement for participating!

Good luck and have fun!

We also have released a New User Tutorial which will hopefully help explain some site features a bit better! Please do read through it ¢ even if you are not a new player, there is a gift pack at the end which everyone can receive once!
