.:Let's Celebrate 10 Years!:.

Postby Kyrit » 09/16/2016 12:09 AM

Today marks a very special day in Evelon history; the 10th anniversary since Evelon's original freewebs adoption site was launched! While we've all had our ups and downs, it's amazing to think that a simple forum based roleplaying community has been able to last for ten whole years. The entire staff wanted to figure out a way to celebrate, and well, boy do we have quite a few things for you!

To kick off the celebrations, we've gone through and released several newly available freebie colorations for you to adopt, including some minis/evolvers! Be sure to adopt the minis/evolvers before they retire. There are 22 pets in total, and to make it easier on you, they are:

Candy Beetanke
Purine Trumpetter
Candy Sygriff
Plush Battleheart
Aqua Bleeder
Plush Bleeder
Battlefield Hollowheart
Blaze Hydrolisk
Venom Garudor
Wood Lohlani
Battlefield Shartile
Blaze Shartile
Blood Polly
Venom Shartile
Blaze Fellox
Candy Bruma
Cobalt Bruma
Battlefield Rollaby
Organic Shielupe
Saffron Taigra
Matcha Mocha Picchu (will retire)
Iron Stargoyle (will retire)

In addition to the available pets listed above, we have a special pet that will only be available for one week, the Galaxy Snowball. If you would like to adopt one of these beauties, created by Silverin, please post in this thread letting us know you want one. We'll make sure to add them to your records when we take down the code.

A release of existing pets isn't enough for something as big as a 10th anniversary. No, in fact, Baal wanted to make sure to get in on the festivities, and thanks to her we have two entirely new species ready to go with a plethora of freely available colorations of their own to adopt from!

[align=center]ImageImage

The Lilisyte (pictured left) is an organic lifeform (found in the Others section on the adoption site) that uses its bird like appearance to deter herbivorous predators. The Zipala (pictured right) is a fast, electricly charged ungulate  (found in the Mammals section on the adoption site) that uses its electrical powers to escape would be predators. Check out their pages on the adoption site for available colors and more information about them.

In addition to our new freely adoptable species, we have a new wild species running about! I don't want to spoil anything before anyone's caught it though, so we'll leave RE to provide more information about that one in their own thread. You might be able to catch a glimpse of it's silhouette if you surf through the website though.

Back in August, we warned everyone that they might want to hold off on starting any breeding rooms until around the middle of the month, when we'd be releasing a super special breeding season. That breeding season starts today and runs until September 30, 11:59 pm, and for those that like the palette potions but wish you could design your entire litter, well this is certainly the season for you! Any room started during the season will get its benefits. We introduce to you the Mega Palette season!

Something very odd is going on, something that can't be explained as mere scientific phenomenon. The offspring of Lucain, Paragon and Soveris pairs are all seemingly being born to look just as their parents wished them to. After testing the water supply, it seems that there is a high concentration of Palette Potions mixed in with the water! For the duration of this season, all offspring born from a pairing may be designed as one would with a Palette Potion, not just a single offspring, and no potion is required! (Users may submit up to the maximum litter size for each pairing, four for Lucain, three for Paragon/Soveris, and rank them, from most to least wanted, since a full litter is not guaranteed.)

If you've got an Emission Liquor, now might be a good chance to use it with the new season, as the list of marking mutations has been updated to include the following mutations, all designed back during the marking mutation contest! Here's a quick overview of which ones have been added to the chart. The blank breedable PSDs have also been updated so they have all available marking mutations.

Lucain
       Hooded Deletion
       Striped Deletion
Paragon
       Jester Addition
       Mystwalker Addition
       Spotted Deletion
Soveris
       Gail Addition
       Striped Deletion
       Tabard Deletion

The breeding season and mutations cover our major breedables, but Kuhnas have been around since before Evelon even had our own forums! As such, we couldn't leave them out of the festivities. The Tiger Scintilla's charts have been updated with two newly available features; pre-existing add-ons to be purchased and the ability to change tail type independently of body type (ex; normal tail on a Rejection Kuhna). All information on the newly available features can be found on the charts.

Breedables are great and all, but just because a custom can't breed doesn't make it any less important here on Evelon. To honor custom pets, we're selling special tokens created for this event, limited to 2 per user. These special tokens allow you to create a custom without any edits or special markings, making them cheaper for you and quicker for us to make!

Last, but not least, if you're looking at all these new things and something like, "Man, I'd love to do a breeding this season, but I don't have the KS for it..." or "Man, I'd love a custom of one of the new pets, but there's no way I can afford one" you might still be in luck! The wishing well has undergone some much needed changes and has been moved to the marketplace so it can't easily be forgotten. If you drop by the wishing well, you might have your prayers answered.

We hope everyone enjoys the anniversary celebrations. Without all of you, Evelon would have died long ago. Our users are our life, and we'd love to be around for many years to come!

Once again, I'd like to echo everything Kyrit has said in this post! I owe a lot to Evelon and I wanted to voice my appreciation to every single one of you guys. You all have helped Evelon develop and grow over the years and it is my absolute pleasure to keep on working and roleplaying here hopefully for years to come. <3 You're all amazing people and don't you forget that.

That said, claiming one of the pretties.

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

Wow, it's been 10 years? Pretty crazy to think about! The new colorations, species, and mutations PLUS the breeding season and everything else are an excellent way to celebrate! I am more than happy to be apart of this community, through good and bad, and would love to remain here for years to come.

Going to be snagging ONE of these pets, and I think I know why Silv made it a galaxy one hehe.

Holy whoa has it really been that long? Thank you to all the wonderful admins and Baal for all you do! We have our lovely site because of all of your hard work and we would never have lasted without you guys, both past and present admins! You've kept us going through the good and the bad and never given up on us! Thank you for this wonderful gift! I wish I could be around more to enjoy it but I can't wait to see all the great stuff people will do with this awesome time and all the cool new things! Once again, thank you for all your hard work! Past and present admins, you've made this place a wonderful home for all of us Evelonians!



(Claiming a snowball)

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!



A great adventure!

Oh my gosh, has it really been 10 years already? It's amazing how the time flies, and I looking back on all the years, I can't even begin to express just how much of an impact this site has made on my life. But no one needs to hear me get all gushy about that - I just wanted to let everyone, staff and all, know that I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say that we love you, and I can't imagine what life would have been like without Evelon. Thanks for all of the hard work and perseverance you guys have shown through the years! <3

Oh, also, did I mention that all of these new pets/colorations/etc. are amazeballs, and I need EVERYTHING? I'll be claiming one of those adorable snowballs for myself as well. :D

Claiming one of those pretty little snowballs! (and probably a mess load of freebies from the site, whoops!)

What a great announcement! There's so much STUFF!!! It's all so awesome! The new species are also super sessy~ <3 AH! It's almost TOO MUCH stuff! Cause, you know, stuff.

It's also so wild to think I've been on here, and knowing so many of you, for that kind of time. SO WEIRD! But also so lovely. *hugs for all, hugs for days*

Wow that's a lot of new things!

Snagging one of the snowballs while I'm here.


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

It's super late so nothing I'm gonna say is coherent but golly gosh I love you guys and ten years is SO DANG COOL... like man, this site raised me as a writer and I love the community here. Thanks for being awesome, all of you staff and users and artists and writers! <333

These new species are adorable and I cannot wait to go look at all the available colors!! Tomorrow, probably. xD I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open which is tragic because this is all so exciting! This new breeding season is so dang cool like omg. I can't wait to pick out some neat pairings~

I'll be grabbin one of those lovely Galaxy Snowballs, too!



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair



"Tomorrow will be a good day."

I'm claiming a Snowball, and I'm also claiming the right to soapbox about this place, but it's currently 1 in the morning and I have a cold so I'm telling myself my waxing nostalgic can wait for the morning.  :wha:

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

I was so ready to start heading off to bed... But then I discovered that you guys released some new goodies. :o Now I guess I won't be going to bed for a little while longer. x'D

Ten years is pretty awesome! Imagining the amount of work done to achieve that is just amazing. And it really makes me happy to know that this place has been around for this long. <3 Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into making this such a wonderful place!


I'll also be taking one of those Galaxy Snowballs as well! IT'S SO PRETTY OH MY GAWD ;o;

Oh Raven won't you sing me a happy song

You don't want me to stay alone
That's why you gotta sing your song
You keep tapping at my door
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
But can I ask you something
A favor from you my friend
This song you keep singin'
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore

...so I've been on Evelon for nine years as of this past year.  I had NO CLUE that I joined the site in its infancy.  Man I feel old.

Taking one of those cute Snowballs~
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

"Human", Rag'n'Bone Man

Ten years! Wow, such a long time. I remember back when Evelon was still a part of Hidden Crossroads. <3 I'm so happy to see this huge milestone!

I'm going to take one Snowball, please. <3 And of course, a big thank you to all the staff for these aweosme releases!

Okay.. actually, I'm also pretty ecstatic about the Tiger Scintilla update as well because I've been asking about the tail feature for a while! -SQUEES-
