Just a reminder to everyone, old and new!
Hello Alacrity!
It would seem with the influx of new users, there's a bit of confusion as to how things work around here. One of the main issues we've been seeing lately is "hacking" (others accessing your account without permission) and/or allowing other users getting on to your accounts. There are some simple, easy ways to stop this from happening!
First off, never give your account information to anyone else.
If you don't log in after midnight rollover, your dogs will not age, so there is no reason for anyone to "account sit" or "dog sit" for you. Yes, you may not be able to use your training sessions for those days, but that is the nature of the game, and is a small price compared to losing your account entirely!
Secondly, always remember to log out if anyone but you will use the computer you are on. Be it a significant other, a cousin, sister, or best friend visiting your house, remember to keep yourself logged off! You will be held responsible for anything they do on your account!
Third, if you are part of a shared IP connection (school, or another member of the household would access Alacrity either on their own or through your history) never let your computer save your login info! Even if you log out, anyone can get in if they have access to your computer! If you can't remember your login info, you can write it down somewhere no one else can find it (in a book you keep by your desk, text message it to yourself, email it to yourself) - but don't label it as "alacrity login info" or anything. Just a random name and random word/letters/numbers will do. So long as you know what it is, that's all that matters.
Remember, everyone, anything that happens on your account is your responsibility. If someone gets in trouble on your account, that means you got in trouble - and if this leads to an account ban, then you'd really regret ever letting that person account sit (also, I shall note from the ToS, "Ownership of an account is classed as having the login information to that account. This means that activities such as account sitting are prohibited." - so anyone offering account sitting services should be reported)!
Remember, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact staff via the Issue Hub! We have Newbie Helpers, Mods, and Admins available to handle any issues that may arise, be it from simple questions to bugs to problems with other users or items not working. :)
Thank you for your time and attention! I hope you all have a wonderful time playing Alacrity!

June!
Good morning, Ala!
Welcome to June :D We have something a bit different planned for you all this month. We’ve decided to give our artists a little break this month to catch up on puppy and breed accessory art; this means you all get to catch up on old items in our Annual Summer Sale! You will be able to find the Summer Sale on the Monthly Shop Page. We are also running this a bit differently from last year, so please take note of these minor changes: - We will only be re-releasing items that were added to the site within the last year. This is so that older items will retain their value.
- Since we have so much stuff, we will be closing down the monthly shop for a portion of today to get as much stuff as we can think to add stocked. It’s inevitable we will miss some things, so we’ve set up this awesome Request Thread for you to request accessories, companions, and backgrounds be added!
- We will be rotating out rares throughout the month, so make sure to check back on occasion to see what all we have
We are bringing back some very special items this month as donation prizes! Please note that these donation tiers do not stack, so you will only receive the prize for your donation tier and not the ones below it. You can view these tiers at any time, as well as make your Bone purchases, over on the Donation Page
Here are the donation tiers: - $25 - $35: Fox Cub companion!
- $36 - $45: Rejuvenator!
- $46 - $55: Santa`s Little Helper!
- $56 - $99: Chance companion!
- $100+: Amur Leopard!
*Note that you may exchange your Amur Leopard for a Black Amur Leopard if you wish. Please submit an issue to the Issue Hub with your request!
*Note #2, Amur Leopards and Chance Companions will be retired forever after this event. They will never again be available for purchase from Alacrity.
There’s a new custom marking in the Custom Tool! Shinobu, who won one of our last custom marking auctions, commissioned Carni to create a Leopard Merle marking for Pembroke Welsh Corgis! I had a lot of fun with this marking and I encourage you all to go play in the custom tool to see what you can create!
So we’re a little belated in thanking you all for bearing with us during those tough server switching times, but we still wanted to get out this small token of our appreciation. The Survivor`s Martingale Collar is available this month for everybody. You simply need to click on the button above to claim your collar. You may claim one per each of your two accounts.
Upgraded users this month can claim their free monthly prize on the Monthly Shop page. It’s an adorable little Lucky Horseshoe Toy! When equipped, this awesome accessory will give your dog a 15 point boost in trial scores! It just might be the edge you’ve been looking for :> Please note that these do not stack with each other. Equip one or equip 20, your dog will only receive +15 points. However, if you were to stack it with a Kitsune and a trial score enhancing companion, the effect will be cumulative.
This brings us to our next announcement: Let’s all welcome Cord as our newest member of the art team! She did the beautiful art for both the Suvivor`s Martingale Collar and the Lucky Horseshoe Toy.
Additionally, Carni has been moved into the General Manager position for Alacrity. If you have any problems that you don’t feel comfortable bringing to the helpers, mods, or admins, please feel free to message her directly!
We do have a few more fun events planned for this month, but the cat doesn’t want let out of the bag quite this early. We’ll keep you all informed of these exciting events as we get closer to them!
Finally, I wanted to remind you all about the Referral Contest! You can view the Leaderboard to see where you rank. You have only a short few days before we wrap up this competition and the prizes are great, so give it your all!
Welcome to June!
Happy Playing!

At school we use Chromebooks. We use the same Wi-fi network. When my friend logs in to her Ala account, it shows up that she's on Ala on my chromebook. I'm in her account when I get to Ala. When I log in, same thing. Our passwords aren't there, but someone could still obviously hack us.
So, headsup, guys.
