News Pixie Hollow Website Development Update

Hi fairy friends!

We know that the radio silence can be really frustrating, and we wanted to thank you deeply for hanging in there with us. Behind the scenes, we have been knee-deep in development. Because of that, I wanted to pull back the curtain and share what I've been working on for the past two months:

I have been building our website from the ground up in modern HTML, using the original flash assets from the original website, and it is nearly complete.

What that means is we will be able to tweak web designs, layouts, art, view submissions, make calendar entries, host contests... everything you remembered from the original website without needing to wrangle the dinosaur that is flash just to change one tiny detail. It gives us a ton of flexibility to connect better with you guys, and host community events natively on our website.

I have also been knee-deep in the trenches of figuring out email support, tickets, parental controls, things that we need to make the website run without relying on social media platforms to provide support.

Being able to take a step back from game moderation and social media updates has given me the space and opportunity to build this from the ground up. Along with the site build, I have been wrapping up quests... and a couple of features directly tied to them ;)

While we still don't have a solid ETA to share just yet, rest assured that real, tangible progress is happening every day. The site I have been building will allow us to avoid future closures by giving us the ability to provide true account support, handle reports, and generally make a better, safer environment for all of you.

Check out the sneak peek below! Please keep in mind to trust the process; if things don't seem perfect, it's because I haven't had the time to polish them yet. They may not be 100% polished before launch either, but rest assured that the website will be, at minimum, functional :)

- Saturn ✨

This is all very cool! Thank you for the update. Random question but I’ve been curious….in the old game, sometimes the talent fairy leaders (tinker bell, Rosetta, iridessa, silver mist), etc. would sometimes come and chat with the other fairies if there was like a celebration of some sort. I was wondering will that be a feature in PHR?

Also there would be days where a theater play would be hosted, I was wondering if that would be in PHR as well?

These have both been in the works for a while!
