News, Announcements, & Dev Log
Greetings Fanlings,
We are moving into the final stage of Goatling Tab testing by staff and a small selection of members. Estimated time of arrival is about two weeks. Goatling Tabs will be an optional way members can sort their Goatlings into different groups, and each group can be viewed on members profiles by clicking up to 15 tabs. We are looking forward to sharing this major and enjoyable update with you all soon!
Older Goatling Birthdays
Unfortunately, during the process of programming Tabs, we discovered that due to a server change a few years back we lost some older Goatling birthday data. Information on public Goatling profiles were automatically refreshed to reflect this. So the birthdays of Goatlings born in 2011, 2012, and 2013 were recently changed to a default date of May 21, 2014.
To remedy this, we have added a tool for site moderators to manually update Goatling birthdays for cases such as this. So active members who own a Goatling with an ID between 1-7497 may send in a Support Ticket to have their Goatlings birthday updated at any time.
A guide for what year your Goatling was born in:
ID 1-6 = 2011
ID 7-6452 = 2012
ID 6453-7497 = 2013
Month and day will be educated guesses depending on adjacent Goatlings and their owners join dates if the member does not know it. This guide will also be added to our FAQ page for our ongoing returning members who may need their Goatling Birthdays updated.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but moving forward, we hope you will enjoy this upcoming update!

Welcome to Goatling Spotlight! A mini event where we get to show off your favorite Goatlings! Each week a new Goatling will be featured in the News and the owner will receive a shiny Spotlight Trophy to display on their pets page or in their collection. This week is all about _resting_reef_!
 | Name: _resting_reef_ Appearance Doll: Sleepy Sea AD Guardian: @DizzyStranger Give Love! Bio: Resting Reef is a lonely goatling. They don't like the company of others and once in a blue moon are they seen with someone else, and luckily, most goatlings are okay with that and respect them. Except their girlfriend, Ranchu. They are very artistic, and enjoy making sand sculptures at the bottom of their stretch of sea. They're also, ironically, very energetic. |
Favorite Treasure
Turtle (it's their pet!) | Whale Sushi
Short Story
Resting Reef prodded the small pile of sand with their hoof, shaping it in the shape of an intricate archway. Their frothing tail wrapped tightly around their hind legs, they held their breath with anticipation, scooted backward and straightened themselves. It, thankfully, did not topple, and remained strong and stationary. Or at least, it didn't until a goatling swam aggressively through the clearing, a cascading current of bubbles and orange-and-white scales, and landed directly on the arch. Ranchu. They sighed, allowed the corners of their mouth to quirk in a slight smile, and paddled over to her to greet her.
