It’s May’s OotS is Unflappable, along with their Elegant Cigarette Holder and Waved Bob Wig! This month’s coat was created by Myla, and the items were created by Loon. You can purchase this set from the Out of the Shadows shop through the end of the month!  Activity Updates
    Bin-GO RP Updates After a very productive discussion with the community about this activity, we’ve made several changes to the rules and participation guidelines for Bin-GO RP. The relevant threads have all been updated and the new changes are now in effect. You can find the full scope of the adjustments in this post. Town Square In response to feedback on the player survey, we have created the Town Square page to serve as an anchor for all site event instructions. We hope that keeping the flavor text and instructions portions of our event announcements separated will be helpful to players who may prefer to get right down to the nitty-gritty of things without details being lost in the flavor text. In between events, you may catch small glimpses of everyday Mycenian life in the square. Sprocket’s Combinabulator The long-awaited crafting update has arrived! Sprocket’s Combinabulator can be used to combine specific sets of items into something new! We have decided to use this feature to release many of the recolored items we’ve been amassing over the past year or two, all of which are currently available to be crafted! You can find more details on this in this post.  Random Encounters As a part of the aforementioned crafting update, we have introduced Random Encounters to the site! While these most commonly distribute crafting ingredients, it’s a very versatile feature and will likely be used in other ways, as well. As you may have noticed during the spring event, we are very excited about this feature!
Marketplace Updates We have made some adjustments to marketplace item sell-back values as a result of the feedback on the player survey. Previously, only some of our oldest shop items had this option, and it was set for 25% of the purchase cost. We have increased the sell-back value to 50% of purchase cost, and have included the sell-back option on all shop items! Please note that by ‘shop items,’ we mean items that you can buy ‘from’ Mycena Cave in the Marketplace. This doesn’t include event prizes or Out of the Shadows items, or anything else that is only available by purchasing directly from other players.  Planned Shop Updates Another market-related update we’d like to make due to feedback on the player survey is adjusting the price of a few shop items. Namely the enchanted gazes + scleras and standard colored wigs —these items are particularly versatile and popular, and this change would aim to make them more accessible to everyone by putting them on permanent discount. We plan on doing this once we finalize our selection which will be early in the month. Item Updates New toggle options were added to some older items:
You can preview the new toggles in The Magic Puddle and you can make toggle requests in this thread! We also had several new edit donations added to the marketplace, and a new addition to the Bag of Wonders! You can find the full list here.

New Donated Items
New Avatar Backgrounds
You can find the new avatar background for sale in Lands Within! We hadn’t had an avatar background expansion in awhile so I wanted to get some out using existing marketplace pet backgrounds. :D New Basic Backgrounds
You can find the new backgrounds for sale in Lands Within! As part of the player survey feedback, we’re aiming to get more low cost, basic items into the marketplace which is why these were created. I might create some more simple backgrounds colors in the future but I stuck with matching the basic avatar background colors for now. On Sale (Permanently)! A number of standard colored marketplace items have received a cost reduction as a result of the feedback on the player survey. The standard colored wigs, the standard enchanted gazes and scleras, the standard bobtails, the standard horns and the antlers were all reduced in price. If you want specifics of the price adjustments, the easiest way is to view the spreadsheet here Whew, that was a lot! We hope you enjoy the updates!

Hello everyone! As you might (or might not!) have noticed, I’ve been pretty absent since the end of April! There have been some issues with my new job deciding how to categorize Mycena Cave work and what my employer’s stance on it is that I won’t be able to get resolved for a while. Until I can get a solid answer, I’ll unfortunately have to take a hiatus from staff work - I’ll still be around, though, and my absence should not be a roadblock on the front end! I just wanted to let the community know, and I hope you’re all having a great May! :D
