Updates of the Year 2016 & Early 2017

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.

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

It's always nice to look back on what happened during the year- it all looks minor but actually 2016 certainly seemed like FeralHeart's busiest, and most successful year with it's game and forum updates. It's certainly going to encourage enthusiasm for 2017, as no doubt there will be lots of input and lots more work on incoming updates. New members, meaning more wonderful floofs to meet and greet; more helpful ones meaning more members of the season- who knows what 2017 will bring? With the wonderful Kynvuu also being added to the Staff Team (another congratulations to the dear <3), all this might be a good turning point for the game's future; I certainly have a feeling the community is going to expand and the family orientation of it all will come into play.

Cannot wait to see what 2017 brings for FeralHeart, keep up the good work both the
FeralHeart Staff Team & The FeralHeart Community!

Hope you guys like the new update! Good work on this one, Sura. <3

A lot sure has happened in the last year for us, hasn't it? A summary of everything makes me reflect on what these changes have meant for us all, especially with the new game update. I'm so glad I decided to return this year. In fact, I regret not coming back sooner. I've met a lot of amazing people here in my time back. Thank you for the congratulations as well. I am so happy that I was thought of to be a MOTS this year and it means a lot to me to still receive such positive feedback from that ^^. Congrats to all of the other MOTS last year and to all of the Preset Contest winners. And another thank you to all of the staff--retired and new. We wouldn't be able to have all of this without your hard work and big hearts. <3
