Exhibited Press

YES, It's snowing AGAIN here in the UK!! And...

On Exhibited too!!

That's right. ;D Snow is falling every 15 minutes on player's farms (if they have logged in today!) and you can harvest these snow pieces to roll together to make snowballs! We're having a snowball fight here on Exhibited, so get making them snowballs!

There is also a winter art and winter writing competition going on where the winner will be able to win 40 scales and a mystery egg!

Read more here. Have fun everyone!

Edit: Sorry, but edited EX art is not enterable for the art competition. :P

Just a quickie:

- I've upped food restock amounts (except rares).

- I've made it so it's a 1 in 8 chance of getting an item from the cave as opposed to guaranteed.

- I've removed the t rex potion from the slots machine and am retiring it for a while.

Also, if anyone attempts to sell a gift-wrapped item and advertises it as a rare, I personally wouldn't buy it. ;)

We have a brand new chatroom here at Exhibited.

It's a java chatroom hosted on different servers to our own. It's fast, instant, doesn't have constant page refreshes (thus it's easy to highlight and such), has a private messsaging system and enables you to battle and chat at the same time.

Best of all, it will be able to handle huge masses of people at once - something which our original chat couldn't do.

If the site should go down for any reason or we get masses of lag, the chat should continue to run unharmed and unaffected, so I'd recommend keeping chat tabbed if you want to just incase anything happens! If you leave the chat window open also, it should keep you logged in if you do nothing else around the site.

Have fun! (Please remember you need java enabled to use the new chatroom.)

MINOR EDIT: Backgrounds and clipons are both removable and are now in the dinosaur's "equipment" tab. Pages will also no longer automatically space out things.

You can now create trades and trade items, money and scales with other players. I quickly put this in because I know people are currently "manually" trading on the boards and some minor disagreements have happened. This should solve it! ;D

You can view the trades page from the "Bartering" area.

Oh, and keep opening the advent calendar guys!

Hello everyone! It's the 1st of December today so I'd like to announce a few new things to you all:

- The banner image has changed from its regular stance to a wintery scene. I have been waiting for ages to put this up! :D
- There is an advent calendar that will run for the whole of this month. Login once a day and you can go claim a christmas item from there!
- Allosaurus IS circulating in the game, but it hasn't been officially "released" yet.
- There is a new monthly donation item.
- There are new club leaders today for each club.
- It's snowing!

Some winter games will come later on in the month. :)

And just a note for earlier:

I am aware we had downtime for around 3 hours or so last night. I couldn't even access the server so had to request a remote reboot. I'll be watching to see if it happens again!

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

I know it's an early post for the american players but I'm posting this now so all timezones get a chance:

The thanksgiving plushie is now restocking in stores. Grab yours today only!

Any dinosaurs that were in mixed species enclosures have now been removed from that enclosure completely, and will appear under your moving crate as "escaped". All you have to do is "recapture" them and reorganize them.

You can no longer put dinosaurs into an enclosure if it doesn't match the species currently in the enclosure (unless obviously the enclosure is empty.)

And dinosaurs can now only have the t-rex potion used on them if they're in your moving crate. :P

EDIT: You can also now clone elder dinos. :O

One of the moderators I'd chosen sadly didn't reply (just my luck hmmmm?) so we now have two brand new moderators (and one part-time moderator!)

I'd like you all to welcome Bob, Levitas and part-timer Rykos onto the team. :D

P.S.: If you still aren't aware that you should seperate species of dinosaurs into their own enclosures, read the news post 2 posts below.

Some new art:


Bank dinosaur.


Nest.


Tagging.

That's all for now. Please read the news post below this one if you haven't already.

Just as a warning to everyone:

To keep everything weighted nicely for when I introduce herbivores, it would be best for you to move all of your dinosaurs into single-species enclosures. This means, packs of all velociraptor, all utahraptor, all deinonychus - etc. Don't mix the species.

Herbivores will be introduced WITH a huntability side to them. Your dinosaurs will be able to hunt a herd in a pack, and it's going to be unrealistic and a lot more coding if you have a tyrannosaurus rex in a pack of compys? So, start moving them to their own enclosures now, please.

When I am ready to release herbivores, all existing carnivores will start to fight each other. If you have two different species in an enclosure, that basically means they are going to keep fighting until they kill each other or you move them out. :)

Just a heads up!

As an additional note: I did say in the comments that if you couldn't afford to sort your dinosaurs into different enclosures that I would be willing to help. Send me a message - don't just abandon all your dinos if you're attached to them. :P

Edit II: this does not apply if you want to have more species of dinosaurs. Only for your existing ones, lol.
