Some cool tweaks!
4th of February, 03:50 PM

So, Nasire is on vacation during February, so we have a guest coder helping to finish up some last stuff so that we can soon be officialy out of beta! Yay!!!

So please welcome Withheld!, our guest coder for February. As some of you already know, Withheld! is also the programmer working with me on a new pet site that will be opening later this year.

So first off we have an addition to forums and messaging. Forum posts and private messages now have WYSIWYG functionality (what you see is what you get). It's probably better for you to just go check it out than for me to explain all the exact details xD

We have also added some very fun little emoticons that you can use in PMs and forum posts! To access the emotes, click on the "khistopher" emote at the top of your post/message and the emoticons panel will pop up at the top. Hover over each emote to view the shortcut for it. Thanks to Protagonist for creating these cute emotes.

Please use the emotes RESPONSIBLY. Do not create messages with large numbers of emotes "just to test them out". The same rules regarding spam exist now as before. Sending messages consisting of nothing but emoticons, messages with long strings of emoticons, etc, will be considered spam.

PMs should now have all the functionality for adding links, images, youtube videos, etc that the forums now have. We ask that you use these features RESPONSIBLY. If we start seeing mass abuse of these features, like sending youtube videos out to every user online, we'll have to remove some of these features.

Lastly, a small change has been made to khimera transfers. You can now click on a khimera, and at the bottom of their page is the option to transfer that khimera to another user :)

We hope you enjoy these changes, and more will be forthcoming! Watch this space!

(For the aluriyans among us, yes these changes will be ported over to Alu soon, as well).

If you encounter any bugs/issues please post them here in the comments!

Khimeros is a unique online virtual world where you can breed your own virtual pets, create and customize avatar characters, forage and craft collectible items, play games, and interact with other users through our forums, blogs, and live chat.

Announcing Open Beta! Starting April 25, 2010 open beta will begin. This means that you no longer need a beta code to sign up for an account!.

Take note that you are still not signing up for a finished site. There are still several important features yet to be coded. There will be an ongoing process of adding and testing new features throughout open beta.

In addition, this is a time for staff to discover the kinds of administrative issues that crop up on a growing site, and determine policy for handling these situations. This means that while we always try our utmost to be fair to everyone, there are bound to be some growing pains along the way. Policies and rules are NOT set in stone and there may be times that we need to change things for the good of the site. Please be prepared for some bumps in the road, and try to have patience with the admins and mods, who are all still learning the ropes on a site that is really still in its infancy.

Do make sure that you have read the TOS (Terms of Service) located at the bottom of every page, BEFORE you sign up. It's very important that you do this.

Secondly, there are a few good resources in place to answer your "newbie" questions about the site. You will be sent a welcome message when you join, with a link to the FAQ section of the Help forum. There are also tooltips around the site that will help you become familiar with the various features (you can turn tooltips off on your Account Setup page). READ THE FAQ first before asking questions in the live chat or on the forums. There is usually someone in the live chat who can help you out.

Please keep in mind that Khimeros only allows ONE account per person and we will be watching for multiple account abuse! Please keep it fair for everyone :)

Most of all, have fun! We sincerely hope that you enjoy your khimeros experience :)
