Hello all! This is a bit of a wordy one - I don't really have any pretty pictures to show you, but I have a nice list of some small new features, bugs that have been fixed, and some additional information.

Terms of Service Update: 24th January 2014
We've made some updates in the Terms of Service, which I will summarize here, but please take the time to go and re-read the ToS to make sure you're up to date!

* Asking for donations is now specifically clarified as "begging" and is not allowed.
* Members may not use inappropriate names for their usernames, player names or lion names.
* We ask you to please refrain from posting in topics which break the rules, and immediately report them to the Modbox instead.
* Please be patient with your forum threads; please don't get angry when nobody replies to your thread - PM a helper or submit a help issue in the Modbox if you need urgent help.
* A Chatroom Etiquette section has been added - please read it fully!

New Features
The 4 new tile types have been added to choose for your Territory tile: Shrubland, Savannah, River and Grassy. You can't have the Village tile because.. well, as far as we know, lions haven't started building huts ;)

We now have a clean and organised Custom Decoration list which shows a thumbnail of the image and links to the information page, instead of just a dropdown menu. It includes a filter so that you can try to find decorations specifically for what you want - a cub, a male adolescent, or your male with his Barbary mane. The Custom Decoration list can be found on the Sales page (→ Explore).

In light of Custom Decorations, you are now able to sell any item on your Branch for Gold Beetles as well as, or instead of, Silver Beetles. Additionally, a minor bug fix has been made here in that if you set the price of an item to 0, it will be set to a SB price of 99999 instead of disappearing from your Branch.
Ninja Edit - searching for items for sale now lists GB price as well as allowing you to specify a maximum GB price. :D

Bug Fixing List for Today
* Rerolling your lion should no longer start you with 1000 exp to get to level 2, it should correctly be 100 exp now.
* Sent messages should now have the correct page navigation instead of just leading you back to your inbox.
* May have been an issue with the notification message for cubs being born, which has hopefully been fixed now.
* Friend requests should now correctly send a notification on sending requests instead of sending "ghost" messages, and when a request is accepted it should send a notification to the correct person.
* Cub hunger should now be displayed correctly on Pride Overview, instead of displaying their mother's hunger.
* Energy should now display correctly on Lion pages.
* Searching for regular items and custom decorations for sale should no longer throw any errors.

Regarding the Cub Economy Poll
We've come to the decision that, considering the votes were extremely even - many people chose "Both" and the separate votes for both ideas were almost identical - we will come up with some amalgamation of the two ideas. We will be adjusting them to make sure that the implementation of them is not overwhelming for members, so don't worry - you're not going to lose all your cubs when you log in! We'll keep you updated with the progress of this. This is going to take some time to discuss and code, so it won't be here imminently - but we will let you know when we're nearing completion.

New Raffle Lioness
Just a reminder that yesterday a new lioness has wandered into the Lioden lands and is waiting for her suitor ;)

Thanks all - have a great day :)
