| New Items! | |
| Posted by JT_ on Feb 19, 2010 12:54 am | |
Some new items have arrived tonight. You'll find them in the Fast Fook Kiosk and Toys & Games! Thanks to Kip, Doc, and Mo for these. :)         Also, please read the News Announcement below for important information about Newbie Pumas and Portals! |

| Portals, Donations and Newbie pumas. | |
| Posted by PhantomFire on Feb 18, 2010 5:29 pm | |
| Many of you know that we have an adoption agency for newbie players at pride number 42. We accept three types of pumas there. 1) Newbie pumas. These are donated pumas that have NEVER been bred Gen 4 and up, of a pleasing appearance that a new member might enjoy as their first puma. To donate a newbie puma you must do the following: A. NAME it NEWBIE. Do not give it any other name. It will be returned if it has a name other than newbie, such as newb, welcome, gift, bob..etc. We use name search to label the newbie pumas and get them set for the adoption den. This is why we need it named properly. B. Make SURE it has never been bred. Any puma with kittens cannot be used as a newbie puma. 2. Portal pumas Sometime a breeding experiment turns out.. not so good. if YOU dislike the puma, please don't assume its "perfect" for a newbie. It is fine to "portal" a puma that you dislike. This removes them from the server and will help save space. There is no limit to how many you portal. To portal a puma you must do the following: A. NAME it PORTAL. Again for reasons stated above. B. Make sure it has NO kittens. [If it does have kittens you MUST send all of the kittens with the puma as well. Otherwise, it cannot be portaled.] If it has no kittens it is easily removed from the server. 3. Breeder donate You might have an older puma you are ready to send on that has been bred. If you wish to donate them AS a breeder for newbie pumas, you may do so. To donate a breeder you must do the following: A. NAME it "BREEDER / Donate" Once you have labeled the puma according to one of the categories above, you may then send him along to Pride #42 If a puma is returned or denied it means the name is wrong and you must fix it. REMEMBER do NOT send pumas that have been bred as Newbie or Portal pumas. Thanks for reading! :) EDIT: Added info on generation to newbie pumas above. Edited: 02-18-2010 06:04 pm |

| We hope you all enjoyed this year's Peppermint Festival. :) As of Midnight Puma Time, the festival has ended. Awwww. But! To fill the void left behind, a new feature has been added. :) You now have a Control Panel that will appear when you visit the INDEX page. This is also the page you see when you login. Right now, there is some account information and H3 Meter info. More will be added! Enjoy! |

| Sorry for the few extra minutes. :) I wanted to make sure we had some Toys waiting to restock for you guys! They should hit the new Toys & Games shop on the next restock. :) Everything should be up and running now! All Alphas have *FULL* Health, Hunger, and Happiness. :) So they are all feeling awesome and excited for the new system! If you have questions, feel free to ask any of the staff members. :) We're here to help! Details of the change can be found in the News Announcement I made a couple days ago. |

| Maintenance | |
| Posted by JT_ on Feb 06, 2010 10:34 pm | |
| This is just an FYI for everyone: At 12:30 AM on Feb 7, 2010 Puma Time (2 hours from now), I will be taking the site down for maintenance. This is when I will be adding in our new H3 Meters system. Everyone will be logged out at this time and will not be allowed to login again until maintenance has been completed. I estimate this will take approximately 1 hour, but more time may be necessary. :) Thanks for your patience! EDIT: 5 minutes remaining. :) Please finish up your tasks for the next hour and be prepared to be logged out. :) Edited: 02-07-2010 12:24 am |

| Health, Happiness & Hunger - Coming Soon! | |
| Posted by JT_ on Feb 03, 2010 11:34 pm | |
| The large project I have been working on is the Health, Happiness, and Hunger Meters (H3 Meters). :) It has been completely revamped and is ready and raring to go! First, just the facts/important info: IMPORTANT INFORMATION: • Changes will go into effect: Sunday February 7, 2010 (there will probably be some maintenance downtime on the 7th, more details announced as we get closer) • Alpha Pumas are the ONLY ones that will have H3 Meters -- all other Pumas are frozen in time unless they are made to be the Alpha • H3 Meters will now be Account Specific -- this means that instead of each Puma having their own H3 Meters, each Account will now have H3 Meters for each Alpha Breed. If you change your Alpha Lion from Puma A to Puma B, the H3 Meters will remain the same from one Puma to the next. :) The H3 Meters are now tied into the position of being Alpha, rather than the Puma individuals. • All Alpha Pumas will have their H3 Meters set to full-- please do not try to "pre-feed" your Pumas, as that will be a waste of your Food and will not be refunded. • H3 Meters affect all Pumas' breeding ability. The Alpha Lion (for example) has an affect on ALL Lions in your pride. For more details, please see the detailed information section below. • Your Pumas will NOT die or run away! Never, ever! No matter what! • Premium accounts have some perks with regard to the H3 Meters -- please read below for more info! • There is a LOT of information here, so please read through carefully. :) As mentioned above, however, nothing bad will happen to your Pumas. So please do not be worried! DETAILED INFORMATION: - BREEDING - • No breeding will be allowed unless the Alpha of the Puma you are trying to breed has been set. For example, if you only have one Lion and have removed his Alpha status to sell him (etc), you may NOT breed him unless he has been set as Alpha. An Alpha is required for the Puma you are trying to breed (whether in-pride or out-of-pride). • If the Hunger for a breed is 50% or greater, Pumas of this breed will only be available for In-Pride Breeding • If the Hunger for a breed is 75% or greater, Pumas of this breed will not be available for breeding at all • The Puma Profile will reflect whether or not the Puma can breed -- options will be disabled as necessary • Hunger increases 5% (Premium) or 8% (non-Premium) if both Health and Hunger are optimal (greater than 75%) in each breeding • Hunger increases 10% (Premium) or 13% (non-Premium) if Happiness is below 75% in each breeding • Hunger increases 30% (Premium) or 33% (non-Premium) if Happiness is below 50% in each breeding • Hunger increases 50% (Premium) or 53% (non-Premium) if Health is below 75% in each breeding • Negative impact of lower Health and Happiness adds together-- for example, if Happiness is below 75% and Health is below 75%, then Hunger will increase 10% + 50% = 60% (or more, for non-Premium) • For every 5% increase in Hunger from Breeding, Health decreases 2% (Premium) or 5% (non-Premium) • For every 10% increase in Hunger from Breeding, Happiness decreases 1% (Premium) or 4%(non-Premium) - BREEDING REQUESTS - • Requesting a breeding will not be allowed unless Hunger of both pumas is less than 50% • If a breeding request is received, user will not be able to accept it unless Alphas are set for all breeds involved and Hunger is less than 50% for all breeds involved (see above for more info about the Alpha being set) - DAILY CHANGES - • Hunger increases 1% twice daily • Health decreases 3% once a week if Hunger is greater than 25% • Happiness decreases 5% once daily - GAMES - • Happiness increases 2% for all Alpha Pumas for each Game played (Pay-to-Play and Multiple Play games only) - FOOD - • Current Food effectiveness will increase :) - TOYS - • Toys will increase happiness between 5-10% • Playable toys have a random shelf-life between 1-4 uses -- they will break and will disappear from inventory - HEALTH ELIXIRS - • Elixirs will be available for purchase to increase Puma Health (this may be slightly delayed, but no worries, because we have the Healer! see below!) - HEALER NPC - • Healer will increase the Health of your Featured Puma • Cost is 100 PP for every 1% Health increase As you can see, this is a lot of new stuff to take in. :) But it will be a fun new addition to the site-- your poor Pumas have been waiting for their H3 Meters to function correctly! Some questions you might have: 1. OH NO! Will my Puma die if his Health drops too low? --NOPE! :D Your Puma will NEVER die! 2. Will my Puma run away from my Pride if she has a low Happiness? --NOPE! :D Your Puma will NEVER run away! She might get a bit angry at you, but with some toys and some love you should be able to make her happy again in no time. :) 3. Can my Puma starve to death if Hunger increases to 100? --NOPE! :D Your Puma cannot die! A veryvery high Hunger will change his ability to breed, but will not kill him. :) Feel free to ask any questions you might have. We want to make sure everyone is comfortable with the changes and understands how everything will work. :) |
