I had a question.

Is it possible to get my ranch back to winter scene? I really liked the snowy look more than the plain grass look.

ok i have a question and a few idea's

Question

- now that we have the radio things, will the devs be monitoring the messages been sent to prevent bullying and such

IDEA'S
- the ability to merge pets - like for example merge a mana pet with a power pet

- i know we have had a few community quests on Amicus isle, so i reckon we could have more perhaps, so here's a few idea's i have come up with
- International Jazz day - April 30th - we could find X amount
of musical instruments and keep one as a sword
- World Bee Day - 20th May - we could find/whack X amount of
bee's to make a hive/s and as a reward we get to keep a hive
- International Day of Biological Diversity 22 May - we find
different species of animals , as a reward we get to keep a
animal or something
- World Environment Day
- World Migratory Bird day October 9
i know there's more but these seem good

- the ability to trade dusts for dusts we actually want

Adino, the contractor wandering merchant on Amicus Isle sells ranch skins for 100BB. Buy that and you can set it to winter all year round.

Nick, on the subject of Amicus I could still use a way to teleport directly to a quieter room. If room 2 is busy it sometimes takes a very long time to load before I can then switch. Perhaps we could talk to the chap in the commons and have him set it to one of: default room, emptiest room, specific room.

Adino......The seasons should change accordingly.on ranch not unless it has changed. Mine is still Winter then soon Spring..etc...????

FYI..I sure do like the ham radio..use it all the time to f's in chat I don't see often.:D Dam good idea...Nick!!Since I ran out of gifts it is most useful :D

Moreover, I see manyy good flux suggestions, I would be happy with whatever is chosen :D

@ phagras. Winter scene is missing from that merchant. Or at least it is for me.

@ Barb. I'm aware of that. But I started the game in December, so all I've seen is winterscape. I just miss it is all.

Due to events out of my control I was unable to log in and lost my streak of several years I was wondering if I could get it back? I tried submitting a ticket but did not go through. Thank you.

I know that you have addressed this before but I don't understand why I am charged in American funds. I don't spend as much because of it. Other games are in Canadian funds as Bush Whacker used to be. Why can't a credit card be used like before in Canadian funds?

As other players have said, you can buy seasonal themes for your ranch from the Contractor merchant occasionally on Amicus Isle.

Once you have a theme, you can set it by going to your ranch, pressing the "Build Mode" button, then the "Skin Ranch" button.

The radio messages are no different than the gift messages. They can only be sent to your friends, so we trust you'll be respectful to one another. If a friend does ever send you a message you'd like to report, you can do so via a support ticket, and I can review the message and take any action necessary. That being said, you can always unfriend a friend who sends you messages you're uncomfortable with.

Regarding your ideas:
1) I see the appeal, but we don't intend to allow multiple bonuses on pets. Pets allow you to get a strong single bonus, and Mounts allow you to boost a broader array of bonuses.
2) Community quests have been a lot of fun! Thank you for the suggestions. I'll note them down to consider.
3) I've been tossing around the idea of a "Rune-y Bin" item related to the Alchrafter Certificate, which might do just this!

Having some default settings for which room you start in on Amicus is a great idea! I'll note this down to consider.

I'm happy to see Spring again on my tropical island. I have no control over the themes on the island, but the season changed to spring on March 1st.

Can you confirm you don't have the Winter Theme already available when you click the "Skin Ranch" button in Build Mode?

If not, please submit a support ticket so I can take a closer look at your account.

Hi Nick,
I have noticed that some of the Event floor tiles do not allow me to walk across them. They also blocked the entrance to my ranch house when I laid them down on the floor in front of the door. Some event tiles are ok, while others are not. If this is something you can look into and fix, I would be happy to submit a ticket with the list of problematic ones. Thanks

The Contractor merchant is not visiting Amicus right now, so you'll have to wait until they do to check out their wares, Adino. The winter theme may not be available when it's winter, so check again now that it's spring.
