A Lovely Art Exchange Event [ENDED]
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhakuAs February has rolled around... One has to wonder, were any of Lingua's residents planning a gift exchange? It seems Arden and Alta have something they're cooking up actually! A little gift exchange that will come through in March...

Whiffling Achievements are here!
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by MouseHello all! We're finally ready to release the feature you've all been waiting for: Whiffling Achievements!
Whiffling Achievements are here!
That's right!
From this moment on, you can head over to the freshly updated Achievement System page to find out what Whiffling achievements you're able to earn & how, and what sort of rewards are waiting for you!
Hint: One of them has to do with Mavericks =)
Please note that from now on, when claiming achievement rewards please specify whether you're claiming Paralogos or Whiffling milestones.
We've also got three new trophy-equivalent items for you to collect:
Just like with Paralogos achievements, once you've earned one of these Ribbons, you will be displayed on the Spotlight MVP Display.
We do have to point out that not all achievements are currently earnable.
Namely, Pet Magic, Crowns, and Breeding-related achievements are unachievable until their related feature is released.
These three features are at the top of our to-do list, but until then please simply take this as a teaser for things to come!
Thank you all for you patience =)
The Wicked + Maverick Auction is tomorrow!
A quick reminder that the Maverick Whiffling and Wicked Paralogos MYO Slot auctions will be held on Saturday (1/22/22) at 7pm EST!
Auctions will end 24 hours after the last bid.
Note that while the auction IS for a MYO Slot, the winners will have the option to either design it themselves or have it designed by either mewhaku or Mouse !

Chaotic Discovery & a New Year of Competitions
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhakuA New Year brings New Changes...
We welcome the equivalent to Wicked Paralogos- Maverick Whifflings, onto the World of Lingua website!
This is in preparation for the Whiffling Achievements system releasing later this month, thank you all so much for being patient with us!
[Again, please do not send in submissions for that until it fully releases! We need to make a functioning spreadsheet and pages for it.]
Maverick Whifflings are a unique Whiffling type that seems to rebel against their "normal" forms, going beyond the expressions of Devilish, Fae, and Elemental subtypes. We'll be having an Auction for both a Wicked Paralogos MYO Slot and a Maverick Whiffling MYO Slot within the month of January! So please stay tuned.
On that note- there's some big plans ahead for the year in the World of Lingua in terms of Prompts, an Event for the year [2022].
Noticing the entrance of a Wicked Paralogos and Maverick Whiffling as the year turned- Paprika wonders.. which of the two is better, stronger even? But fortunately, before he could ask that specific question, his caretaker figured it'd be a good idea to stop him there.
Regardless: Paprika ended up getting the idea of starting several competitions this year, which is how the Year of Competitions was born!
Let's introduce the rules. And yes, this does count as an Event entry for any associated Achievements if you enter in any given month!
People get 1 ticket per month they provide a submission, with a maximum of 3. [It does still count if you collab with someone on the same side.]
These tickets will go to a Wicked or Maverick raffle to be rolled in January 2023. [The winner can pick whichever they'd prefer.]
On the premise that a user creates a submission every single month:
After 4 unique months, the base ink or cap reward gets doubled to 10 for every submission made in the months after. (Submissions made during the 4th month do not count.) [This would trigger in April, counting for May and onward.]
After 6 unique months, the user gains a Mysterious Simple Bag. [This would be for June.]
After 9 unique months, the base ink or cap reward becomes tripled, to 15 for every submission made in the months after, and the bonus reward gets doubled to 10. This means someone could earn a total of 25 ink & 10 caps OR 10 ink & 25 caps. (Submissions made during the 9th month do not count.) [This would trigger in September, counting for October and onward.]
On the 12th month, if the user has made a submission in all 11 months prior, they receive a Mysterious Fancy Bag. [December specifically.]
What's This? - 2021 Holiday Scavenger Hunt Event
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhaku"What's going on... Who are you and what have you been upto?"
Celyn glared at this... Whiffling? Who seemed quite angry at the entire current situation...
Someone had been stealing items in the general city of Sermos... and it seems that a Whiffling was the culprit. Was this the perpetrator?
"Wouldn't you like to know! Thanks for messing it up!" >:/
The Whiffling replied.
It seems this Whiffling was hiding gifts...
They look like this:
You'll need to go around the site and find 6 of these!
Please note these facts about the Scavenger Hunt:
All the Hunt targets can be found on mobile devices as well as desktop! They are not on Masterlist Entries or user profiles.
They CAN be in places like lore pages for example, sales, Encyclopedia entries..
Or news posts to give a few examples. Please do not hint at locations, or be negative about how hard or easy locations might be.
You will have from December 25th until the end of the year to hunt for these gifts!
Perhaps this Whiffling isn't mean...though they seem to be a thief [probably]. Seems you may get something additionally if you find them all.
Enjoy the season and gather up some presents for your Paralogos or Whiffling characters!
Happy Holidays for whatever you're celebrating- and we hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!
December Spotlight & Updates
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhaku
Hello everyone! So we're working on things as always and hope you enjoy the holidays later this month!
Some smaller updates- we do have the Bonds (Chapter 7) Lore page updated to include Whifflings and their relations with Caretakers! We hope you enjoy the read. We have also updated the "Inventory" section on user pages to be renamed "Recent Items", since that's a more accurate description of the feature.
I (Mew) would like to mention that I have for the most part finished moving locations offline, still working on getting some smaller things out/odds and ends before our move-out inspection, but things are calming down! I miss everyone online!!! But I did want to update everyone. =) Things are coming in terms of updates, our admin team is working hard on things with all the bumps of offline life. I personally invite you to read our Monthly Prompt's text this month as it may be interesting in terms of things brewing...
The new Monthly Prompt has been released: Cold, Colder, Coldest
The Spotlight member this month is Samm !
We are so happy to see you've joined the site more actively semi-recently and love seeing you and your works around on site and on Discord especially! ! We wanted to honor you for that, so you're in the Spotlight this month!

Quality of Life Updates & New Lore Section!
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by mewhakuToday we have some Quality of Life Updates we'd like to share along with some other News!
As per some recent suggestions [on our Discord server, recently updated to be called World of Lingua!] we've added the following:
1. Traits are now categorized on the Masterlist! Meaning you don't have to scroll down just alphabetically anymore. They're under headers!
2. We now have a left-hand sidebar for News and Sales that more clearly allows for navigation on these pages- and Sales showing OPEN/CLOSED Sale entries more easily!
We also have a COMPLETELY NEW section to our Lore page regarding a catalog of previous Prompts! While they won't give special rewards anymore, perhaps one of them could inspire an art or writing piece if you're in need of some inspiration? =) [Many thanks to Speedy for putting this together!]
And finally, we are nearing completion of all the Art Assets for the Whiffling Achievements update. It is NOT DONE yet- as we still need to prepare the split to the Achievements page and make additional backend work such as spreadsheets to keep proper logs. So stay tuned!
We think you'll enjoy the final goal this additional Achievements set up will have too... !
November Spotlight & Site Updates
Posted 3 years ago :: Last edited 3 years ago by mewhaku
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed the little Halloween Advent event and look forward to more in the future! We have a few things of note to mention in the last bit of updates, things coming up, and similar!
Firstly, we now have a clock on site at the bottom of all pages. Helps keep track of site time much easier. We also had some updates to our user page layout where you can see user Gallery uploads on that page as well, and two sections for Paralogos and Whiffling Achievement boxes. You may have noticed the Whiffling Achievement items are all now on site. We're hoping to get that fully uploaded soon. I (Mew) am moving houses offline this month so unfortunately I can't finish art assets super speedily, though writing assets are easier to complete on the go. We'll keep you posted of any new updates! But feel free to browse those and their requirements to prepare!
TO CLARIFY: Do NOT send in Whiffling Achievement claims until the feature is released. We are simply giving a tease to this in progress feature right now.
The new Monthly Prompt has been released: Night of Lights
The Spotlight member this month is Inkcess !
We picked Inkcess this month for all of the continued submissions and designs you've made as of late- we appreciate and adore your enthusiasm for this group, and thank you for bringing your creativity into the group with yourself!
Thank you again for making this group a better place.
