Please see update history for changelog
Lunar shard offer has yet again been extended to the time of this update. If you opened any lunar shard July 22nd – August 8th 2022 and would like it to be refunded please open a ticket in the Support Server.

Hey folks,
If you've played the bot anytime in the last 2 days, then you're most likely very aware of the massive instability that occurred. I screwed up – the Bconomy core code did not play well with the new API, and unfortunately this was something I couldn't test in the dev stage because it only appears with high player counts. I've been debugging and implementing speculative fixes for this issue for every spare moment since the update launched but unfortunately nothing was able to alleviate the constant restarts.
What now?
The bot has been reset to the last known stable version in the meantime. Over the weekend I will work on backporting the new features from the latest update to the previous API version, which will take a while, but it seems that it's the only option until I'm able to track down exactly what's causing the instability issues on the latest API version. This also means support requests and possibly the Fall Campaign will be delayed as well but I'm hoping this won't be the case.

I apologize if the bot's issues impacted your enjoyability in any way and we'll try our best to make sure future incidents aren't repeated. Thank you for bearing with us, and, as always, thank you for playing!

Hey folks, I am well aware of the high instability present recently. I have been working for hours whenever possible since the update to resolve the issue and attempt to fix it, unfortunately nothing has seemed to work and life has gotten in the way so regrettably the update will have to be rolled back to a prior version. This will hopefully be temporary and no user data should be lost. I apologize for the unexpected change and will try to resolve this issue ASAP by the weekend. Thanks all.

-Large backend update to latest Discord API version
‼️ Please report any instability or unexpected behavior!
-Rob standardization: Robbery chances have been adjusted for fairness
New rules are self-explanatory on the Balance page – instant robbing and rob-locking will no longer be possible for high balance users, and gives a brief grace period to allow for high balances to be sorted out.
-New interface buttons for viewing other users' balance pages.
-Faction fleets have been disabled
️ In preparation for the upcoming Faction Fleet overhaul, current fleets have been disabled and you can refund units for their purchase price. Please refund your fleet before August 20th, after which the refund option will be removed.
-Finger Snap changes
Finger Snap events now range from 10x-20x and pricing has been increased. Hopefully this change allow the events to have more of an impact and feel special, while still being balanced and allowing for coordination in starting events and higher gameplay efficiency in shorter periods. This is a change that will likely be adjusted and possibly reverted.
-Lunar Shard and Rune changes
(Discord emoji) Lunar Shards no longer drop Lucky Charms or Rankup Tokens and item drop rates have been modified. To prevent confusion the Celestial Rune item has been named to "Dormant Rune" to distinguish between the prestige currency and item.
The Lunar Shard refund offer has been extended to any time between July 22 to the time of this update. Please open a ticket and we will refund any lunar shards used in this time frame upon request provided the dropped item(s) are still in your inventory.
-Other fixes and optimizations
✅ Fixed an issue with external emojis not displaying (due to a change on Discord's end)

Hello folks! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer (or any other season!). Life has been keeping me busy unfortunately but I want to provide some updates with the bot and things to look forward to.
️ Summer Campaign
The Summer Campaign will end on August 20th and Quest XP will be locked. Treasure Chests will be usable and Sigils will be distributed to all eligible players, and your Campaign Level will be archived as a displayable trophy. The next campaign, Fall Harvest 2022 begins early September with completely new quests, rewards, and much more!
Faction Update
A Faction Update has been in the works which will completely overhaul the way fleets work. The details are still under wraps for the time being, but will allow factions to earn Items/BC as well as wage war against NPC enemies and other factions. Additional upgrades like Alliances and Faction Perks are also planned!
Pet Expansion
Though this is a long-term goal, a Pet Expansion is being planned which would add a huge amount of depth to Pets. Again, this is a very long-term goal which most likely will not become an addition for at the very least many months, but there are indeed plans to add more gameplay use to Pets. All current Pet stats and progress will be transferred over if/when this expansion goes live.
Backend Changes
Discord has updated their API recently which means that Bconomy will need to undergo some changes to future-proof the game and make sure there aren't any hiccups as more Discord features are added. This means there the next update might be delayed to ensure stability.

As always, thanks for reading!
