 As a game in its BETA phase, the ChS content is constantly growing and changing.

+/31/25
+. (1/25/25) Big news today, we have a new species to welcome to the ChS universe~
-====11/08/24 Update====
+A peace treaty has been reached between the Alfien’s and the Voidwings and as a result you will start to see Voidwings out and about in the ChS universe.
+At the current moment Voidwings cannot be created via the free MYO slot but can be obtained via purchasing a custom from ChS staff or from adopts that will be coming soon.
+There will ideally be a group wide event starting in early February to celebrate their release.
+To learn more please check out the Voidwing wiki page here - > https://wiki.cheshirespecies.com/doku.php?id=voidwing
+Also make sure to go and check out the newest NPC, Kriss Redwing -> https://wiki.cheshirespecies.com/doku.php?id=kriss
+**NEW**
+A. As of 1/31/25 the traits 'Eyes of Madness', 'Different Pupil', 'Robotic Iris', and 'Googly Eyes' have all been combined into 'Alt Eyes'. This allows any iris and/or pupil colors, shapes, patterns ect. on the eyes. This trait is rare at this time. Compensatory traits have been given out as needed to designs that this applied to.
+B. It should also be noted that Voidwings have an ice breath ability. Ice breath does not give control of ice magic and Voidwings that want to use ice magic will need to learn it from the proper mentor when they are available.

+Hello Cosmonauts, we hope everyone had a great holiday and new years. We want to recap the progress of the group over the 2024 year as well as some of the future plans we are hoping to accomplish in 2025. While we work hard to make sure that we create and produce new content we can't promise that all of the planned features will be done this year. We also want to thank you for all the love and support we have received. This ARPG would not be possible with out the amazing players that make up this group. We look forward to soaring through the stars with everyone in 2025~

+This year we made huge strides in creating content for players to enjoy, progress their characters with, streamlining site functions, and lore/species releases. With that in mind there is still a lot of work to be done here in the group and we have big plans for 2025!**
+//----//

We value your feedback and look forward to making the group bigger and better over the coming year and thank you for finishing out 2024 with us!

+/23/24

+**Expeditions are now available**
+[[Expeditions]] have officially been released. Shirefolk now have the ability to join guilds, earn character progression items, and really interact with the ChS world more.
+You can find Expeditions on the Cheshirespecies.com website by logging in and clicking the ARPG tab and then selecting 'events'.
+**Submitting Event Entries and Expeditions.**
+All entries for Events and Expeditions will now need to be submitted by going to the [[http://CheshireSpecies.com|http://Cheshirespecies.com]] website, logging in and clicking the ARPG tab and then selecting 'events' and clicking the 'submit' button listed under the Event or Expedition you with to submit something for.
+Event and Expeditions that are not submitted via the 'Events' page will be declined.
+All regular non-event and non-expedition art or writing should be submitted by clicking the ARPG tab, and then clicking 'art submission'. Which is the same as it was before.
+//----//
+**Character Progression items**
+With the release of Expeditions there are now also 'Character Progression items'. Each Shirefolk now has their own inventory that will record what 'Character Progression items' they have earned. These CPIs are bound to the character and can not be traded, gifted, sold, or transferred to other characters.
+If a character changes ownership, the earned CPIs will go with them.
+They are a way to show what milestones the character has accomplished and some Expeditions require your character to have specific CPIs before they can participate.
+There is not currently a way to 'start over' with a Shirefolk's CPIs but that will be changed in the near future.
+More expeditions will be released over time and they will allow you to scavenge for crafting materials and other goods to use or sell, but they are still in development at this time.
+To see all the current CPIs you can check out the 'Progression Items' list under the Items Masterlist on the [[http://Cheshirespecies.com|http://Cheshirespecies.com]] site.
+//----//
+**Guilds**
+Guilds can be joined at will but each Shirefolk can only join one guild at this time. There is not currently a way to leave a guild but this will change in the future.
+Guilds are not account specific so you can have if you have multiple Shirefolk they can join different guilds with no issues.
+Guilds currently can allow you to level up over time by doing guild work and earning medals, this will allow perks later in the game but at this time these features are currently in development with a variable release date.
+//----//
+**Subtype changing item**
+After a community poll it has been decided that an item will be created to allow a Shirefolk to change its subtype or possibly become a 'hybrid'. This item is still being worked on at this time but will be released in the near future.

+/08/24 Update
 While in the process of deleting the trait items listed on the 10/08/24 update, I accidentally deleted 3 Trait Items that were not present on that list.

 -Trail of bats (Uncommon)
-These trait items have also become redundant and needed to be deleted but were scheduled to be deleted at a later time. If you owned one of these items and had not used it yet, please make a general request on the ChS site to tell me how many of these items you had, when/where you got them from (provide proof when able, I can cross check the logs to double confirm! 0u0) and I will provide a trait potion of the same rarity of that trait to make up for its loss.
