This month, our OotS coat is March Winds, along with their Chimes and Windy Day Background! This month’s coat and items were created by priz. You can purchase this set from the Out of the Shadows shop through the end of the month!

• The Creative Collective has been updated with new prompts for this month!
• Bingo RP has been tallied, and new cards may now be requested!
• A new round of the Chamber of Reflections has begun!
• This month’s Productivi-Day will be held on Tuesday, March 15th!

 

Peent’s shop has once again closed its doors. She will be back again next February with more lovely items to trade for your shiniest nuggets–but for now, she seems content to do that cute little bird dust bathing thing in the pile she collected this year.

In a similar vein, we pulled our annual Valentine’s sprout raffle, and several lucky Mycenians are now eagerly awaiting for their little ones to bloom on the Sacred Tree! Sprouts (and semi-customs) will be delivered during March.

Our Walk of Three event concluded in early February. Our artists have been hard at work on recreating your Carve a Companion coats, and we expect that the seven new Forever Coats will be released within the next week or two!

Glitch had to disentangle a number of unauthorized trades and transfers from players whose passwords had been stolen from elsewhere (see context here). Glitch also implemented a security measure to help defend against account takeovers, requiring that you confirm that you have access to your registered email address before you can trade or transfer when using an unrecognized computer.

Take the time to make your account more secure if you haven’t already done so!

Glitch fixed an issue where some items appeared to be missing from player’s inventories when they had multiple of the same item marked as equipped to the same Mycenian.

The Stork (or however babies work outside of the Cave) is on its way for our two lovely admins! Read the full update here!

We are excited to announce that Acydosis and Nonny have joined our team as trial artists! During their trial period, they will be working with a staff mentor while they hone their style-matching and learn the ins and outs of Mycena Cave’s art process. We can’t wait to see all of their awesome creations!

And while we’re on the topic of staff adjustments, we’d like to let everybody know that Metalhawk is officially changing her username to Dash.

Since glitch and Myla will be preparing for the arrival of their baby, we are opting not to do our traditional April Fool’s activity. We know that our players have a lot of fun with April Fool’s every year, but unfortunately, it falls during a time where we are reluctant to add extra work to our pile as we make preparations. We aim to be back at it next year, though!

We hope you’re ready to dust off your word-building workbenches, because our spring spelling event is on the horizon! More details will be crawling out from the bubbling tar pits soon, so keep an eye out for the event announcement!

• glitch worked on account security updates and dealt with unauthorized trades. He also worked on item/inventory fixes/improvements, and made improvements to staff systems around queue management to help streamline artist efforts. Next month he will likely be working on some small updates and long term projects.
• Myla worked on queue, site art, and administrative planning. This month she will likely be focused on making progress on long-term projects, queues, as well as event art and other site art.
• The coordinator team has been working on the upcoming spring event, as well as maintaining creative activities. They have also been working to organize an upcoming Coats for a Cause.
• The art team are working on creating forever coats, the sprout raffle sprouts/semi-customs, and event art. They’ve also put a lot of work into the queues, though that will likely slow down with their large non-queue workloads

It’s site policy that we can only show off the work we did a part of the application if we post it publicly, so I hope nobody will think I’m being too much of a ham in doing so—I want to be able to show my friends! haha
