Removed Items

These items have been removed from the ARPG. Anyone who owns these items currently have been refunded the equivalent Sand Dollar/Seashell amount.

• Gender Remedy
• Bond Certificate

Changes

• Renamed Coconut Shell to Coconut Husk
• Replaced Gender field to Gender Identity field and added Personal Pronouns field
  • Originally when the ARPG was created, we kept the same simple guidelines that many other ARPG and species communities used where gender was the biological sex and kept breeding simple. The way the ARPG handles gender/sex has become unrestricted as this is not a breeding-focused ARPG and does not need to be policed. We will no longer restrict the "gender" field to only male and female. A character's genitals are between themself, the owner player, and anyone the owner choose to share the information with. Any Isomara will be able to court with another no matter gender/sex, and any items related to same-sex mating if any, will be removed from the game. Now the field of gender and personal pronouns will be simply additional character information if the owner chooses to display it.
  • You can add your character's gender identity and personal pronouns by commenting on the UPDATES thread of their masterlist import on IsomaraIndex
     

    

     

    
    
    
    

  • The website Masterlist pages will have an edit button allowing the character's owner to change gender identity and personal pronouns whenever they see fit!

The Isomara Island ARPG official Discord Server is back and available to the public!

After a hectic month and the old server being wiped after a malicious hacker attack we have brought back the server from the ashes like a majestic phoenix. If you remember the old server then you may notice the removal of some channels which we deemed outdated or no longer useful as well as some new features! 
These new features include converting the Ask an NPC, Questions and Answers, and Suggestion-box channels into proper thread channels. Threads will also the staff to better assist and communicate with members without confusion and muddy conversations. Please be sure to check the post guidelines before making a new thread in these channels.
