@_@ I can't wait until they manage to fix it all.
The broken images keep bugging me. XD

I've really gone off Aywas since they switched over to the new version, hopefully they'll have everything fixed soon.

I logged on to Aywas the other day and just stared. I can't say I like the new look of it :/ Was very disappointed when I finally logged in after several weeks of inactivity. And from what I'm understanding, exploring is a lot different than it was before??

Weird, Aywas had never really grabbed me but today I went to try and log in and see the changes but I can't get past the log in page. I'm using the right username and password, it just doesn't seem to register that I've entered it.

Yeah, explore is quite a bit different. The same in some ways...but different overall. Now you have to fight uncatchable monsters as part of quests to master the zones, and you have a limited number of attacks you can make which is only replenished by a rest event while exploring. But I've heard that once you master a zone then various activities open in them, like mining is supposed to be the desert activity. There's also no random items to be picked up, instead there are random merchants trying to sell you mostly overpriced junk. Though they do sell random eggs and other worthwhile items on occasion. Monsters also give BP or sometimes items when defeated. It's taking some getting used to.

Are you using IE by chance Echos? They said on their twitter account that:
"It looks like our login problem is due to incompatibility with Internet Explorer - try using Firefox or Chrome if you can't get in for now!
4:31 PM Aug 10th via web"

Hopefully they'll fix that... I know IE is sort of looked down upon as a browser, but it seems weird to make a site incompatible with it. Though I have logged on using IE, so I don't know what's going on there.

The only thing I don't like about the new explore is that I can't use any of my old pets for anything but BP gathering. I have one who is over level 60, but she only has 10 AU. I used her to catch a level 12 pet in the West River, who has 70 AU. If they were going to limit attacks so much, they should make the rest event chance a little bit higher, so people can actually, you know, like, do stuff. >.>

I almost forgot to mention one other fairly large change...you now have to purchase a license before you can catch any pets, otherwise you get hit with a pretty hefty fine. There's several varieties, each with a different limit on how many pets you can catch per day. But once you buy one, you have it for good.

I've actually still been exploring with one of my old pets. I just have to be picky about what I battle with her. Yeah, only 10 AU is a bit of a pain, but we're doing ok. And I've seen on the forums that they plan to eventually have a way to buy more AU and other moves.

My biggest issue so far is the fact that I cannot find how to search user shops. I assume they still have that in there and I'm just to dumb to find it, but it's really frustrated me XD I've almost stopped playing entirely since they upgraded; it was kind of too big a change all at once right when I had just gotten the hang of the old site!

Archives > Search to search user shops. Really weird place for it, but that's where they stuck it.

There's are a bunch of the new pages that they had just put up before the move, like the info page on breeding, or on species that do seem to have vanished in the move.

I'm getting used to the changes...but I don't think it was quite ready to go live. And I'm afraid to cook anymore because people keep posting that items with charges aren't always getting them and sometimes just vanish on the first use.

If you were talking to me...yeah, my goal right now is to collect all the Melo colorations, and I don't have that one yet.

That Melo had an accident, wherein I forgot to check which pet I was handing to Rogue, and was turned into a different color Melo. Sorry about the color change. *snortgiggle*Do you still want that now?

Er, honestly? Sams by Sushi. *shifty eyes* I stalk that SushiDragon muchly.

On a related note, anyone want an Ember Phanto? And what does everyone think about the new lineart?

Double post, but the October announcement has me all excited. Vampires will be led by Chimera, Zombies will be led by Zave, Reapers will be led by Chaos, Ghosts will be led by Spenser, Werewolves will be led by Riley...and for demons...no one's volunteered yet...but they'll force someone into it.

So who's backing which team?

I'm a vampire. And not liking the talisman collection thing at all. I've been through my highest-level pet's energy 3 times and have not found one. I hope the rest of the events are a bit more exciting!

Demon. And reading, to get up to speed.

FFFFFF I GOT A CUSTOM CRYSTAL GRAB BAG FROM THE WISHING THREAD HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN

sorry guys I may be spazzing right now XD

This. I can't stand the new version and other things have grabbed my attention.

Grats Xenon!!!

@Xenon: 'Grats, babe. <3

For those of you that still play, I just wanted to let you know that I've moved in with Thymey over at #298, and someone else bought my account. Yay for lair partnering!
