Hello everyone,
We on misticpets staff want to take this time to apologize for the lack of activity and the relative silence surrounding it, at least on an official front. The contents of this news post are aimed to help explain things a bit better and let you all know how things currently stand and what to expect for the near future of misticpets.com.
As of now, all members on staff have taken a step back from active development on the site. While there are many different reasons for this individually, the general consensus is that we are no longer interested in working to keep the site running while the owner continues to remain absent (or, at least, trying to. Our access to many areas of the site are extremely limited, as we've detailed in previous news posts and different forums). The last we had any contact with Zarabeythe was on 2/04/18 (via a message in the staff discord server). Since this is such a recurring trend and because she showed little initiative to make the changes the site drastically needed during her short return, our small active staff list simply lacks the ability and motivation to keep trying to get around the many access problems.
What this means is that you won't see any news posts coming out after this (beyond the automated raffle/weekly update post--we have no way of turning this off, unfortunately) and you won't see any updates as far as new item or pet releases, plots, events, or anything of that nature. Things will remain as they are on site currently, as far as features and games, but the weekly changeovers will likely be delayed--if they happen at all--as will any features that require payout (such as the weekly raffle) so play these at your own risk.
Many of us are simply waiting to see if Zara will return and, when and if she does, if she will make the large changes that the site desperately needs. Things are looking pretty grim, and we just want to apologize to all of you for what a letdown this must be. None of us wanted to see mistic come to this because it's been such a home for many of us over the years, but we feel like we simply lack the access and motivation to keep this up.
If she hasn't returned by the end of this month, we may or may not post in the forums with all of our previously planned work for the site, such as plot ideas, art concepts, unreleased pet themes and species, etc. as a kind of "last hurrah".
If you wish to stay in contact with many of your fellow site members as well as those on the staff team, the Misticpets Discord Channel is a great option. The link above will take you to the forum post regarding that.
Until next time,
The Misticpets Staff Team
