Welcome back! Sorry for the long post
The biggest thing that I can think of is the rarity overhaul/discontinuation of the rares list, but I believe that may have been late 2018 to early 2019 so you probably were there for that. There have been a couple list replacements, most notably the one created by the user Horror (it has a bee emoji in the name so it’s easy to find) which places pets on a scale of what month they turned VR/OMGSR and it’s been kind of eye opening for a lot of people to see just how rare some low-demand pets are. But trading is still ruled by demand values, and many market prices of valuable pets have changed since a couple years ago, so I’d use the “how much is this pet worth” thread before trading anything super valuable. There is also kind of a c$ inflation problem so c$ values may be different too. People are generally starting to value old store pets higher as well.
Some other changes i can think of include:
1. We had a Fae mischief, carnival, and cave/prehistoric summer event. The cave event is going on now!
2. Limited time item sets are now available every few months to buy with c$ like store pets
3 They re-structured the oekaki categories. I’ve never used it so I’m not very knowledgeable on it, but I know it happened!
4. Dress up items can now be flipped vertically! You can also search for items by name.
5. We celebrated the Eid al Fitr holiday for the first time
6. The archive has a new look, and has check marks on which months you’ve completed
7. There have of course been new artists and staff hired, and some have retired.
8. Macaws can now be a normal monthly adopt
9. There are 4 more OMGSR “UR” pets, a s’more, an avocado, a squid, and a Kirin/Longma horse
10. They changed how pets are distributed during December 18th. There are three boxes, one of which guarantees you a Very Rare pet or higher, one of which guarantees you an old rare, and one that guarantees you a new(er) rare. You can get a UR pet from any box very rarely.
11. This one isn’t as important but there is now a cow lineart (technically a heavily edited pony) that has been used twice, once this past Easter and once this past Chinese New Year!!! They are very cute
(There’s definitely more things I’m missing, I’d check the “announcements” forum if you want to see every big update!)
