CelestialEquine: Celestial Updates!

[TheGamingList]

Good evening, CE players!

We are excited to announce some new additions to our Celestial Equine staff, along with a bit of restructuring of our staff team. To kick off this announcement, we are thrilled to announce the return of our head moderator, Jericho! Jericho has been with the game since 2017, shortly after the live reopening. During this time she has been vital in creating the bones of our community guidelines, our help section, and lead the moderation of our Forums and Discord chats. Jericho is resuming this head position, and is a great addition to our close-knit team! Ellastasia remains our head artist and administrative assistant. Desideria also remains as a second-in-charge member of the moderation team, along with being a recolor artist/overall troubleshooter. In addition to the players mentioned above, we are excited to announce the addition of Moonstorm to our troubleshooting/mini-moderation staff team! Moonstorm will serve as a moderator for our wonderful players in opposite timezones, and also assists with administrative tasks to help the game run smoothly. I am eternally grateful for our fantastic staff team as they play a vital role in the growth and success of Celestial Equine!

Onto new releases! We have some very exciting development updates to share with everyone. As of Sunday, we have enabled our new item cycling feature to keep the market shops and cash shop fresh! We now have the ability to mark items as "standard" with a bi-weekly stocking rate, monthly (stocked during a preset month only), and seasonal (only stocked during certain seasons). Our goal with this new cycling feature is to keep the shops stocked with fresh items, and also add a little bit of exclusivity to our growing CE gene pool. To kick off this fantastic feature, we will be blasting everyone with 120 brand-new magic shop genes! These genes include body colors, matching mane/tail sets, wings, horns, and body markings. This will give you a taste of our new method of handling monthly themes and seasonal themes. We will also trickle in some beautiful seasonal genes along with our monthly releases! In addition to our pending gene releases, we also have a plethora of new wearables for you all to play with! These will follow our September "Moroccan Rune" theme, which is one of my favorite themes yet! Our September releases will become available September 1st, as we are pre-loading these items into our database to build up for a big blast of new items. In addition to the market shops updating, our Cash Shop will automatically update as well with new items.

Next up, development! We officially have modifications to the trading post (canceling trade offers and gift offers), revision of the retirement feature, the addition of cool-down text from the barn view, forum modifications, auction house pagination bug, and a special area for private gene owners to generate additional quantity of their gene changing items. These tweaks have been highly requested and should be completed by next Friday! Following the completion of this update, we will resume the development of Celestial Alliances! Though we are keeping this area highly secretive for the time being, I will tease with one hint; character interaction. For those of you following the lore, get ready for a ton of FUN and even more activities to do with your horses!

Lastly, we would like to wrap up this news post with an update to our site-wide rules, specifically regarding player interaction. These updated rules can be found here. Additionally, please be aware these rule updates are effective as of now, along with the listed moderation guidelines regarding community consequences. For the sake of transparency, we felt that it was important to give players insight on how we will handle future rule infractions.

That wraps up our latest update! Stay tuned for additional updates in the near future!

Thank you,

CE STAFF
