It's February! That means its Puppillars' anniversary!

It's been five whole years since I started puppillars, we've gone through so much changes and growth, I'm so happy to see the group still going and going strong! Whether you are a brand new member, or have been here the whole time, I'm happy you are enjoying the group!

Milestones from the past year

Our biggest milestones from this year were related to our first ever plot! The plot had Five Steps with activities both big and small, and also added a lot of lore to our world, including our new World Map! Through the plot we also met our third species on puppillars, Arcane Fauna! There will still be lore updates from this plot to come, look forward to more info on magic, and more info on the new locations on the map!

Besides the lore features, we also added some awesome new features this year, including our newest feature, The Fishing Hole,  a brand new Holiday Shop, the brand new Transformation Magic, and a new Adenturing area, Plateau Lake!

Along with the plot, we also were able to have some fun events last year, including our first ever Fundraiser, where we raised $375 for LGBT organizations in the US, Brazil, and Slovakia! We also had our first ever MYO Event, which was also a crossover event with our friends at World of Lingua! Besides all that, we even managed to squeeze in a few other things like Snailcat Racing and an XTA Contest!

There are now 140 members on our site! That's more than 50 new members this year! 

There are now 399 Puppillars, 120 snailcats, and 43 Arcane Fauna on our site!

There are 806 items on our site, and 59 awards!

 

Yipee!! Let's celebrate

To celebrate our 5th Birthday, we have a new award for members to collect, we are  having a Customs Raffle, and also made some adopts for the Wanderer's Glade!

What's next?

We have alot of fun stuff planned for the rest of the year, we want to release more items and awards, as well as work on new dailies and a new adventuring area!

This month, we are having an Art and Design exchange, as hightly requested by our members in our 2023 Survey. We will be posting the details on the exchange later today! Coming up next in March we will have the return of the Snailcat Racing Holiday!

Thank you for the opportunity!

I wasn’t really active last year because I was pregnant with my rainbow baby and I was too on edge to do literally anything! I am proud to announce that my rainbow baby arrived in August, healthy as can be. I think that counts for positive.

Happy Anniversary! Well let's see here... something related to Pupps in particular I'd love to share is that designing characters for the Wanderer's Glade makes me super happy! <3

Happy anniversary! One really positive thing from this group was T getting his first character, a sona (Brux)! It really meant a lot to him and helped him feel like a real person after not having been around for a while. A handful of people have characters in this group and they're very loved.

I joined puppillars last December, which I had avoided doing for quite a few years due to my trigger of multiple legs. This group has helped me a lot with said trigger- now I can at least handle multiple legs on cute doggos! I still can't handle em on much else, lol, but progress is progress! I also have gotten a bunch of cute snailcats, a couple puppillars, and have plans for Arcane Fauna in the works! I also got to have my first snailcat design, Primrose, participate in The Snailcat Races, and I got to draw some fun snailcats and draw a puppillar for the very first time for ArtFight, and that was a blast! I'm hoping I'll be more active in this group very soon to create some new amazing memories!
