Hi everyone!
In order to access this week's update, you must be level 40+ and have Thurston's Fort and Sabina's House. They seem to have something important they want to tell you, what could it be? Whatever it is, sounds like they're going to need a lot of help! Check out this week's update to find out what they have to share!
The update will go live today (2/5/15) at 12 PM PST.
THE PINK LOVECUPINE
The Wedding Alicorn and Pink Alicorn may trigger a new goal which asks you to beat up a pink Lovecupine. You get this goal as the wedding alicorn is considered a pink animal.
Note:
1. you do NOT need to make a second sword.... you already have one in your inventory.
2. the 5 lovecupines will be activated upon collection of a pink animal. It's random and rare to spawn one and this goal may take a couple of months.
3. collect as often as you can from your pink animal.
4. do not contact Support, they cannot help you as it is not a bug.
************************************************** *********************

my guess. what else big news could there be between those two? and maybe possibly we need the love shack for the big news?... maybe hopefully?
Since the Love shack is not returning, my best hope is a wedding arbor/chapel/some sort of flowery handfasting area that might do the same function as the love shack did. I am hoping for a world event, six months ago for halloween was just right, I am glad there wasnt one over the holidays but this time of year there is time to complete one.
However if this is the valentine event then it seems unlikely a world event would be level 40 + players only. So my bet is this is an individual event or if its truely story related, permanent character development then its an update.
Ohhhh.. Maybe they are gonna get married!!!!
I dont agree with the 40+ level. I have been playing this game daily for half a year and am surprised that i'm being excluded from a holiday event. At level 35, i wouldn't classify myself as a low level. Probley hurts more since I prepared more-than-normal ahead of time for the update (red pedals, strawberries, chocolate, ect). Anywho, cant wait till 12 to at least read about it. Missin the love on v-day.
edit: ah, nevermind. Carry on as usual :p
Sorry for the drama.
Disappointed for my neighbors, and other players below lev 40, not being able to join the update this week either...:(
actually, none of them said it was a valentines day event update. or even timed. we just have to wait and see if it is timed or not. i doubt it is if it's involving character/story development. the only information we have about it is that it is happening today and is going to be "a very fun and surprising update" quoted from spiritwind in the weekly sneak peak thread. i really doubt they would exclude a lot of people from an event.Quote:

Very disappointed for other players that are below level 40, I know I wouldn't be too happy as it's a holiday soon and would want to participate. Though pleased I get to participate as I haven't been able to since Christmas!
Naa, not an affair. Actually they are siblings ;p
The update will go live today (2/5/15) at 12 PM PST. There's still about 17 minutes left. :)Quote:

Yes, lol,but I'm just trying to tell you that we don't yet know those are the first things required to collect until the new dialogue starts in 4 minutes and tells us the first thing to do, lol ... Patience. ;)Quote:

1. Visit Thurstons Fort
2. Attachment 18094
3. Attachment 18095
4. Attachment 18096
This one we don't have to complete but I can't see how you can do 8 in 24 hours at 3 hours per exchange and complete it?!?
2nd:
Visit Marketplace
Use pile of seeds - 20
& 1-enchanters Essence
Since you're doing pics, I'll let you continue, Purple. :)
Wow, 8 - 3 hr exchanges at the Royal Exchange (24 hr timer). Although it does say you don't have to complete but wedding supplies are easier to acquire during the 24 hrs.
Not getting up in the middle of the night for any game.
Close. Wedding Alicorn yummyQuote:

Yea
8 - 3 hr exchanges at the Royal Exchange (24 hr timer). Although it does say you don't have to complete but wedding supplies are easier to acquire during the 24 hrs.

We will see after the first droop from royal exchange how easy it is.
What did Tl think when making this step... That we would wake up every three hours this night to finish this goal in time..
One of the next steps (after placing a Wedding carriage) is a 24h time limited quest. You have to do 8 three hour long shopping tours at the Royal Exchange. You don't have to finish this, but be warned anyway.
post 2 updated. I skipped ahead in the exchange to see what I got - report in post 2 at end.....
But what's the bargin? What do we exchange?
(i cant collect from thurston for another 7 hours...)
Wahhhhh,can only have ONE wedding alicorn? ... Doesn't a wedding carriage need TWO!?! Lol (yeah, I'm greedy, what of it lol)
I sped mine up and only received 4 ribbons.. Ouch..
I thought the free alicorn was a glitch and tried to be greedy and place more than one. Ha! She's so cute and I have a spare Ali sitting by himself between two rose arches. It's like she was destined for him. Now I wish the love shack will stop being asked for. Everything can't be made available always.
And the 3 hours with the items I already have for the trade is awesome! I can make a ton of tickets with ease to try to expand to another plot. I hope the wedding doesn't do bust because thursthon gets cold feet. Don't know what Sabina sees in the twerp anyways.
Have fun, everyone!
