Site Updates 2023
Hello all! For several months, the staff have been discussing and making some changes around the site. This is where we are going to explain these changes. For the most part, the only changes we have made is in regard to WE points, the store, and store items. Please make sure you read this thread in its entirety to stay up to date with the changes we have made.
The rationale behind our decisions: We have received feedback that its far too easy to gain access to points and store items. For this reason, it feels like members do not have to work very hard to access our highly sought store items, those which were meant to be more of a rarity. It has been taking away from the fun for some members, and feeling like they need to earn their points to be able to bring some fancier designs to the site and the like. It is for these reasons that we are making the following changes:
1. Several items have increased in price in the store. In addition, several items have been bumped from Tier 1 to Tier 2. These include items such as Twins and Triplets.
2. Tier 2 items will no longer be able to be gifted from one member to another, UNLESS it is as a part of one of these two events: Store Sales, or Secret Santa.
3. We are decreasing the amount of store sales we are having each year. We will now only have two - one in January to start off the new year, and one in July (mid-point through the year).
4. Exchanges in the store have been decreased from 75 to 50%.
Based on these changes, we would also like to ask the site if there's any items members are dying to introduce to review to bring to the site. Please comment on this thread if you have any thoughts!
Now, a couple of things that aren't relating to the store:
1. Please remember to all our canon characters, the grace period for no strikes is now done as of today.
2. The rule-eating fairy removed where we had listed what "WE Time" was from our rules. It has been added back, and as well, we have added a clock at the bottom of the site for a quick reference.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions! Thanks everyone, and Happy New Year!
