Good news: there's a new way to get Gems easily. Bad news: the Archive is also getting updates, and everyone's gotta update their information.
I'll start with the Gems: you'll now get Gems for leveling-up. I increased the amount people will get for joining from 50g to 150g. You'll get 100g for reaching Level 1 and any Level that is a multiple of 5. For the remaining Levels, you get 50g.
I do have plans for adding more ways to get Gems, but this was an easy one to start with.
As for the Archive: I've lost contact with quite a few people over the years, I've already gotta make updates to everyone's info, and I rarely use Google Sheets anymore, so I've decided to remake the Archive and have everyone update their info to keep playing. This was likely going to happen at some point; I've decided to bite the bullet and do it now.
The old Archive is still up, but will no longer get updates. All new players will have their info added to the new Archive, and existing players will have to get their information added to the new Archive. I'm trying out using LibreOffice Calc for the new Archive since I use it for so many other things now, so expect a ton of updates & changes (and maybe a few errors in formatting). If I'm not liking the way things are going with the new Archive, I'll switch back to Google Sheets, but I'm going to try to make this work first. I'm happy with the new layout, but I've gotta tweak the font, text size, colors, etc.
There's a new reply at the top of the fourth page of
the Archive, Leveling-Up, and Shop thread with a form you can use to get your info added to the new Archive. If you don't get your information moved over, you will not be able to get kahvs approved/reapproved, adopt new kahvs, level-up, purchase items from the shop, interact with events, and more.
