Updates of the year 2016 & early 2017

It's been quite awhile since we had some News Updates! So without further adieu we bring you a review of the year 2016 and of the current early 2017!
Board & Site Changes

Our server host and admin Razmirz has been hard at work. The forum has been updated with a new refreshing look. You can all look forward to more changes and new features to continue appearing in the near future as we continue to refine the site. We hope you'll enjoy what is in store!

Some of the notable fixes and additions:

- Most of the bugs with registration and account making have been resolved and so registration is back up after a temporary closure. You can read more about registration and how it works Here (Note: Make sure you link an active email with your account, if not then please update your email address.)

- Cleaned the site of numerous broken, defunct, and or improperly activated accounts.

- E-mails and usernames can now be changed/edited.

- Removed the ability to have problematic symbols in usernames.

- Fixed the forgotten password system.

- The login page for the game has a lower refresh time now. It only needs one refresh every hour.

- The Preset Sync has been updated and simplified to an easier and more practical version. You can download, and read about it HERE


(Please note that since the site is sill a work in progress there may be some kinks that still have to be worked out. If you encounter any troubles don't feel too shy to note the issue to a member of the staff to bring it to our attention)


Game Changes

In June of 2016 we released a new "patch" for the game. There has been many mixed opinions surrounding this update and we staff have taken note of all of your feelings regarding such. We do have plans to bring more updates in the near future, and although we can not guarantee anything specific as of yet I promise you that the entire staff will work to bring more of what the community wants, this is a patch for the Community afterall!

With that being said I would like to direct you all to our latest addition to the forum boards:

The Feral Heart Content Creators Board HERE

For the first time ever we are directly reaching out to the community to offer you all a chance to be involved with future patch content. That's right your work may end up in the public game for all the community to enjoy! If you're interested in potentially being selected for this process or have any questions feel free to look HERE


Events & kewl sturf

We've managed to have quite a few successful movie nights with the community over the last couple of months. It's always great to kick back and enjoy a film with the community, especially when we get to introduce the favorite pass time to newer players in the community. If you're interested in more information about this or just want to know when next movie night is going to be, keep your eyes open on this thread here.

Let's have a whole-hearted congratulations to all our 2016 Members of the Season These folks were voted by the community to be the most deserving of the MOTS title, and we can't help but agree! Each of them have fabulous attitudes, and we hope they'll continue to spend time bringing their bright smiles and positive attitudes to the FH community. Congratulations as well to all the current Spring Season nominees! Be sure to keep an eye on them and cast your own nominations for this season's MOTS if you haven't already HERE

To all those staff who have left we want to take a moment to thank you for all for the love and devotion you gave our community. Each of you brought your own unique spark to the team and it is thanks to your efforts the Feral Heart staff team and community continues to grow, evolve, and survive against the odds. It takes a very special individual to do what you've all accomplished here. It's no easy task juggling the chores of daily life but still finding the time out of your busy lives to lend yourselves fully and voluntarily to help the community. So thank you... <3

Thank you for posting a juicy update thread! It was surely needed, indeed! A lot of newer members and older ones will enjoy getting all caught up! Thanks again, Sura! And welcome all new staff; and goodbye to the older ones. You guys have done so much and will be missed.

As for the updates, keep them up! They are amazing!
Thank you all of the staff!<333

Thank you for the updates. As it is sad to see many loved staff go, it is heartwarming to see newer staff join and keep FeralHeart going. This game and community will always have a special place in my heart.

I've heard that people from now on cannot register for feral-heart. Is this true? Because when I reviewed your post, I didn't see anything regarding registering. Or, I have poor eyesight.

Registration is currently on a on and off system at the moment.

It is open at random times but very frequently, most of the time the staff will announce registration openings on their Tumblr page.
(Well they used to, not sure if they still do.)

I don't think I said this earlier but thank you for this update! Congrats to everyone and their new roles in the FH community, your work is truly appreciated here, as well as farewell to those who have parted from us. You will all be missed, thank you for all you've done for us. Quite a change has happened for Feralheart in the past year. I look forward to the next update.

I need some help!
I downloaded the new Preset Sync and now the Play Game tab on the website won't log me in! It just shows the part where you enter your credentials! Clicking Login reloads the page with the same thing!

Hello, PeaceLoveAndDoge! I suggest you to make sure if you have cookies enabled.

for some reason when I try to log in on the game or when I try to log in from Play Game it never works

Make sure that once you login to the 'Play Game' tab, that you keep it open as you play Feral Heart. This is what ensures you stay connected to the game.
