Adventurers,

We want to let everyone know about an important change regarding deleted characters.
Recently we’ve seen a rise in requests to restore characters after they were deleted. While we’ve helped where we could, each restoration requires our team to dig into backups and manually rebuild data—time we’d rather spend on new features, balance updates, and improving Hypnoville for everyone.

From now on, character deletions are considered final. Restorations will only be granted in extremely limited circumstances (for example, if deletion resulted from a clear system error). Our backups exist for legal and safety reasons, not as a convenience restore system.

To support this policy, we’ve made accidental deletions much harder. You’ll see clearer warnings and additional confirmation steps before a character can be removed.
To avoid losing progress:
* Please read all on-screen warnings carefully before confirming a deletion.
* If you are unsure, do not delete your character.

We appreciate your understanding. These changes help us focus on what really matters: building new adventures, stories, and features for you to enjoy.

Unstoppable</title><link>http://www.hypnoville.net/motd.php#motd20250821185709</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.hypnoville.net/motd.php#motd20250821185709</guid><description>By Plant Puppy Devi
# Devious. Punk. Unstoppable.  

The **[DVS Convention](https://d-v-s.online/)** is back — louder, bolder, and punker than ever.  

DVS (pronounced *Devious*) is an **adults-only online charity convention** with a silly supervillain bent. It’s not just furry — it’s a space where queer punks, villains, artists, writers, streamers, and performers of all stripes come together to create chaos for a cause.  

To date, DVS has raised more than **$100k CAD** for charity, proving that even the most rebellious of villains can make a difference.  

This year’s theme cranks the rebellion up to eleven with a full-on **punk takeover** — think leather, laughter, DIY zines, loud art, and unapologetic community spirit.  

Hypnoville is proud to stand with the rogues, queers, punks, and dreamers of **DVS 2025** — because sometimes breaking the rules is exactly what the world needs.

We\'ve resolved the recent problem with our in-game mail system. Unfortunately, to fix a database corruption, we had to restore from a backup. This has resulted in the loss of messages sent or received in the last 24 hours.

We understand this is frustrating, and we truly apologize for this error and the loss of your messages.

If you sent any mail in the last day that hadn\'t been read yet, it should still be visible in your outbox. Please resend any important messages from there.

Thank you for your understanding.</description><pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2025 21:13:37 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>Important Terms of Service Update Notice</title><link>http://www.hypnoville.net/motd.php#motd20250301222704</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.hypnoville.net/motd.php#motd20250301222704</guid><description>By Submissive Pet Tifa
# Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Important Updates to the Hypnoville Realm\'s Laws

Hey everyone,

For the past two months, Hypnoville has received no donations at all. While I’ve always run the site as a passion project, the reality is that it already operates at a loss, and I can’t sustain it indefinitely without some level of support.

If you enjoy playing and want the site to continue, please consider making a donation. Even a small contribution helps cover server costs and keeps Hypnoville online for everyone. Donations can be made via PayPal (preferred) or Stripe, so you can use whichever works best for you.

I appreciate all of you who’ve been part of the community—your engagement and enthusiasm mean a lot. If you’re in a position to help, now would be a great time.

Thank you! 💙</description><pubDate>Sun, 23 Feb 2025 21:35:35 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Scheduled Maintenance Notice: Hypnoville Server Update</title><link>http://www.hypnoville.net/motd.php#motd20250207193309</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.hypnoville.net/motd.php#motd20250207193309</guid><description>By Submissive Pet Tifa

Dear friends,

As the year draws to a close, and we take time to celebrate our festive holidays, we would like to thank you all for your continued support and friendship.

As they say in Scotland, \"*Lang may yer lum reek*\" - may your chimney smoke for a long time to come - for this year, we have continued to see the strength of our community as we have weathered attacks on our infrastructure and game. Despite the efforts of those who oppose this happy kinky corner of the internet, we have remained open and accessible.

We continue to be impressed every single day by the togetherness of you, our community, as you have supported not only the game, but each other, continuing to forge bonds that go well beyond players in a game and become friends and sometimes family. We see this as you care for each other, helping together so that we may all pull through the dark times.

It is this togetherness in our community that we will need more than ever as we face both new and recurrent challenges next year. We will have to continue to grapple with legislative issues that make managing the site increasingly difficult. The ongoing war in Ukraine, the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, and political strife around the world will sadly continue to provide real-world worries that impact us all. It is at the heart of these challenges that we see the true value of community - when we stand together, we are stronger. 

As we look ahead to 2025, our greatest hope is that we will continue to strengthen our community through collaboration, understanding, and kindness. In the spirit of the German \"*Gemütlichkeit*\" - that wonderful sense of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer - may we continue to foster a welcoming space for all. It is through our solidarity that we will find solutions to the challenges we face.

May this Season be a time of reflection and renewal for all of us. Whether you\'re sharing the Irish tradition of placing a candle in the window to guide wanderers home, enjoying German *Glühwein* with friends, or participating in Scotland\'s *Hogmanay* celebrations, let us carry the warmth of these traditions into the new year. Let us stand together, supporting each other and working towards a better future for all of our community.

We wish you all a peaceful festive season and a new year filled with hope, solidarity, and success. *Nollaig Shona daoibh*, *Frohe Weihnachten*, and a very Merry Christmas to you all.

***With all our heart,***

*Tifa and Devi*</description><pubDate>Tue, 24 Dec 2024 22:56:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Important Update: Hypnoville and UK Online Safety Regulations</title><link>http://www.hypnoville.net/motd.php#motd20241219152744</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.hypnoville.net/motd.php#motd20241219152744</guid><description>By Submissive Pet Tifa
Dear Hypnoville Community,

We are writing to inform you about important changes to our platform operations in response to the UK\'s Online Safety Act and recently published guidance from the Office of Communications (Ofcom).

## Current Platform Status

We have temporarily suspended new user account registrations while we conduct a thorough review of Ofcom\'s regulatory requirements. Our platform remains fully operational for all existing members during this assessment period, and current users maintain complete access to their accounts and platform features.

## Understanding the Changes

The UK\'s Online Safety Act introduces new requirements designed to create a safer online environment. While Hypnoville already maintains strict policies, including our complete prohibition on children accessing the site, the new regulations will require fundamental changes to our platform\'s operations.

Our team is carefully reviewing Ofcom\'s comprehensive guidance to understand its full implications for our community. These regulations may necessitate significant adjustments to Hypnoville\'s core functionality, and we are committed to implementing these changes while preserving the essential aspects of our platform that our community values.

## Next Steps and Timeline

We are taking a methodical approach to ensure full compliance while minimizing disruption to our community:

Current Phase: Comprehensive review and analysis of Ofcom\'s regulatory guidance

Next Major Update: Expected by the end of January, providing detailed information about required changes

Registration Status: Temporarily suspended for new users until compliance measures are implemented

## Commitment to Transparency

We understand these changes may raise questions and concerns. We pledge to maintain open communication throughout this process and will provide regular updates as we progress. Our January update will outline specific changes we need to implement and their impact on our community.

## Resources

For those interested in learning more about these regulations, Ofcom has published detailed guidance on the Online Safety Act and its implementation. These resources provide context for the changes we\'re working to implement.

* Statement: Protecting people from illegal harms online: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/time-for-tech-firms-to-act-uk-online-safety-regulation-comes-into-force/

We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition period. Our primary goal remains providing a safe and enjoyable experience for our community while ensuring compliance with these new safety standards.

We will continue to communicate any significant developments through our usual channels. Thank you for your continued support of Hypnoville.

Best regards,
