Secre Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'm glad they're doing semi-frequent updates - it gives me hope that things will actually be made to work! jellysundae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuiina Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I've just read the last Release Notes and even if I'm content that they're doing somehow more frequent updates, it saddens me that they didn't mention - not a single time - customization! I think they're doing a major mistake by not prioritizing the conversion of flash wearables and the customizition app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The Gypsy Camp has been renamed to The Wanderer Camp, and items including the term gypsy have been renamed. Why ? is the name Gypsy racist ?! Gypsy comes from the Greek word for Egypt - Aigyptioi ... as there's a belief that's where they originate from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berriganify Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 i like the new sidebar, although the font is hard to read and there's still no way to have it permanently open, which is disappointing! i would be very surprised if they weren't working away on customization at this very moment. it is a larger project though. and yeah, that word's been known to be a slur for a while now? it's good that they've taken it off the site, although the area is still a p obv stereotype. harder to change art though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their priorities are backwards. And isn't gypsy a slur towards Indian women? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And isn't gypsy a slur towards Indian women? They are adding non-flash games to the games room so people have easier access to playing them. Other Flash converted games were probably already converted and going through quality testing and were approved for release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobert_Doo Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I do like how they have an icon/image for the Neopies, on the main pet page, after logging in. Helps me remember to vote. I hope they will do that for future events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
