FH Official Newsletter: Autumn Update 2019

LordSuragaha:
A review of things that have happened during this season thus far & some new things to come:As we near the end of 2019 let's take a moment to refresh ourselves on some of the things that have gone on and maybe find out about some new plans in the works.
Board & Site Changes
Some of the notable additions and changes:

In an effort to better organize and prepare the forum for it's eventual update staff have begun the gradual process of cleaning up and removing certain unnecessary boards. This clean up includes removing or reorganizing boards that are barely utilized or no longer fit our vision of focus for the future of the Feral Heart forum. Huge thanks to the moderators & MITS for assisting in this team effort!

- Changes were made to the Off Topic & Feral Heart Roleplay boards. The Off Topic roleplay boards were removed entirely and their threads were refitted into the regular General Roleplay boards now renamed the Feral Heart Roleplay boards. The Off Topic boards that were removed are as follows: Animal Roleplay, Human Roleplay, and Misc. Roleplays. Given the broad nature and imagination of our community's roleplays we've decided that there should be no specific distinct boards for Off Topic or Feral Heart related only roleplays. What really defines a roleplay as specifically Feral Heart or not? To help the newly re-homed threads fit in, the General Roleplay boards were renamed to the Feral Heart Roleplay boards with two simple new distinctions: In game Based Roleplays & Forum Based Roleplays. The Groups Roleplay board was removed. There is now simply an In-Game Roleplay & Group Advertisement board in place of the old Roleplay Advertising Board.

- The Off Topic > Literature board's Stories & Poems boards were removed and moved into the Feral Heart Creations > Feral Heart Media Stories & Poems boards.

- The Off Topic Media > Art Galleries board was merged to the Feral Heart Media > Art Gallery board. The Off Topic Media > Art Galleries three separate child boards: Commission, Trades, & Requests were removed and their threads moved to the Feral Heart Media > Request Art board. The Feral Heart Media Request Art was renamed the Commissions, Trades, & Request board.

- The Discords Server Hub board was removed. Due to the major decline in Feral Heart users role playing & talking in game and on the forum in favor of Discord, we will no longer be promoting a specific Discord oriented board or Discord in general. This change is also in part due to immense complaints in regards to the foul nature of certain Discord groups that were promoted here. A number of these Discord groups violated our user safety policy by linking users (especially underage users) to inappropriate/harmful individuals, discussions, & content. We apologize to those who utilized the board and their Discords respectfully but we hope that you understand our reasoning for the change. You’re all free to use your Discords but please do not advertise or link them on our boards, thank you.

- The staff page was finally updated!

- Progress on the forum/site update? Still adding dots...

Development and Improvement
Bringing the community together to build a better game:

- Our next patch map maker has been decided upon! Let's all give a big warm welcome and congratulations to Leda! It took a great deal of time to review each submission and for staff to discuss it among each other. Selecting our latest patch map maker from the immense list of talented map makers wasn't easy. You guys really blew us away with the amazing examples of your work in the Community Content Creators board. We're really confident in Leda's talents and her ability to bring the next map environment to life in her amazing style. She's been working diligently through the holiday already and has some interesting teasers to share with you all. Can you guess the environment in works?

We hope you all had a spooktacular time at the annual Feral Heart Official Halloween Party! It was great seeing everyone in their creepy and ghoulishly fun Halloween costumes. This year's lovely map was brought to us by our lovely staff member Lady_RavenRose We thank you all for attending and hope you all had a very Happy Halloween!


During the Halloween Party we had a fun little mini game event where our feral trick or treaters had to seek out and find LadyRavenRose's lost magic spell potions. Congratulations to all the winners who helped track down each hidden potion! :

Stay alert this winter holiday season for a possible Christmas themed fun mod event! Given how popular and well received the Halloween mod was xSpirit and his team have already been discussing and crafting some very secret things with Santa.
