Community Update

Aside from monthly event news posts and the 2nd Friday of each month being focused on art/coding updates, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

Official Lioden Raffle

LINK - This is our official community update raffle. Everyone gets a chance to win a rare prize, plus something extra for any runner ups. These raffles have a very minimal ticket price, and there is a limit of 1 ticket per account to make it fair! Good luck!
This raffle will automatically end on 2022-07-08 00:00:00.

Event Adjustments

* The cost of steps in Celestial Explore has been reduced from 5 Meteorite Shards per step to 2 Meteorite Shards per step.
* There is now a higher chance of finding Meteorite Shards whilst exploring than other July event encounters (Apedemak vs Apollyon, finding Menhit, etc.).
* We have added a second poll to the Polls page asking how we should adjust the Celestial Explore enemies, so please be sure to vote on which adjustment you'd prefer.

Tefnut's Memories Reminder

Tefnut's Memories (aka Tefnut's Temple) is still part of the July event and will show up on the Event tab starting on July 2nd. It still has the same mechanics to open (donating items and/or SB) and still contains all items as it did previously. The items that you can purchase once the shop is open can be viewed on the Lioden Wiki here: https://www.lioden.wiki/july#tefnuts_memories

Begging and the Giving Tree

It seems that parts of the community have some confusion and uncertainty where they believe that players asking for Giving Tree drops in Main Chat falls under begging. To help clear up some confusion, we would like to formally announce to everyone that we do not consider players asking for Giving Tree drops as them begging for assets. When currency, items, and lions are left to the Giving Tree, everyone has an equal chance to pick these assets up—there is no guarantee that a player who asks for GB or cubs to be dropped to the Giving Tree will pick up these assets from the Giving Tree. To give benefit of doubt, some players may even ask for others to drop assets in order to spur a "Tree Drop" that they would also participate in.

We will not moderate players asking for Giving Tree drops unless they are excessively demanding Giving Tree drops, or otherwise breaking our rules regarding begging, e.g. saying something along the lines of, "Does anyone have any spare GB I could have? Can you drop it at the tree?" or "Can I have your unwanted adolescents? I'll take them from the tree too!"

We hope this helps alleviate confusion moving forward! If you happen to see our staff team punishing players for asking for Giving Tree drops, please PM a site admin (a list can be found at the bottom of our Contact Us page) or use the Contact Us form to email our Support Team, but keep in mind that punishments are not always visible and there may be additional context to the situation that normal players do not have.
