Website Updates

Updates

🐲 Character Porting

• Since the Limited Open Registration on September 7th, we've uploaded user characters. Fetching the original hi-res images and all iterations of characters takes time and we thank everyone for their patience. At this time, all characters and items for all users on the official site have been uploaded. If you believe you are missing any characters or official image refs please submit a claim.
• If your character's official image has a background (with the inventory, companions, mouth, etc boxes) and you want it to be a transparent background please submit a claim as well. There are a small number of characters where we do not have the original image or .psd anymore but we will do our best to recreate them.
• Note that custom accessories will be ported over at a later time
