As always, the art team has been hard at work to provide another batch of top notch items for you, our loyal members! We also have some new donation items available that we all hope you'll enjoy! With these, Alacrity is implementing a new addition to the usual lineup; Collectibles!
From now on, for
donations of $5 or more, you'll receive a special collectible item that will follow a certain theme through the year, and will
only be available by donating! This year, we're following the Chinese Zodiac, and starting things off the Celestial Cobra!
Our other donation items are the Polar Bear Cub, which will grant your dogs +1 drive and +2 health every 4 hours, and the Ice Block, which contains all of this month's
monthly shop items! :D

Also, starting this month we are bringing Custom Companions back! But we'll be doing it a little differently than before. There's so much demand for these, and the art team already has so much work to do that it was very hard to keep up with all your orders! So we've decided that every month, one member of the art team will be open for one Custom Companion slot which will be auctioned or raffled. The winner will get to claim the slot! We will announce which artist is open very soon, so stay tuned!
Also, as you may or may not have noticed, our wonderful Xylax provided us with a few art updates to our food items! Mmm tasty!






Thank you all so much for your continued support, and we hope you'll all continue to enjoy yourselves here on Alacrity! :D

I'm afraid it's been so long, that even I can't remember the exact date the rule was added, only that it was in 2011. As it is, you were misinformed about that rule, and your CAMs have been refunded to you, Ras. :}
I'm also for putting quality control in effect for CAMs. I just need to talk to the coders and the admin team about it. I wouldn't mind having the art team as a whole being in charge of approving custom material. I'll bring it up to the admins, as said, because from the beginning I wanted there to be some control over CAMs, but when Robyn owned the site she insisted it should be a free-for-all. That's why they've been unmoderated up to this point. But I think it's time that changed. :}
And no, no one's content would be turned away for not being top-notch quality. It would just need to align with our site rules.
