Greetings Fanlings!
We just had a large programing update to implement some member requested updates and general improvements.
---
Battle Updates
+ Battling will now lower your Goatling's Hunger and Mood by one point each. To raise your Goatlings hunger feed them any food item. To raise their mood give them toys to play with. The food item and toy item will disappear after use.
Food items raise your Goatling's hunger by one point. Toys raise your Goatling's mood by various points. You can preview how many points a toy will give your Goatling by clicking on it from your inventory. Or by hovering your mouse over an item in the Toy Shop. Maximum hunger and mood is 100. Members can view their current hunger and mood levels by going to My Stuff then to My Goatlings.
+ Hitpoint bar has been added to battles. This will help members keep better track of their Goatling's (and baddy) hitpoints.
---
Stats Page Updates
+ New member stat categories include: Most Love Received, Most Adoption Tickets Used, Top Forum Posters, and Most Sugar Stars (on hand).
+ New Goatling stat categories include: Most Battle Wins and Most Battle Losses.
+ Max Goatling level has been reenforced to 100. (Level Gemdrops will no longer be able to get your Goatling past 100)
+ The amount of members and Goatlings featured on each stat page has been raised from 10 to 100.
---
Misc Updates
+ Goatmail now has a counter so members can easily see how much mail they have out of 200 (raised from 50). If any members are still having problems receiving new mails because their inbox is falsely full please send in a Support Ticket.
+ Trades now automatically expire after one week.

A very special set of items will be coming soon to Goatlings.com! This New Bee set will be free for new members so they will have something to get them started. This set will be added to the inventory of new members automatically when they register.
![](https://38.media.tumblr.com/0051f4009df82190774a0b17d6c0e63c/tumblr_nhvclkLzEy1s9p6wto1_400.jpg)
All current members will get this set for free soon since they didn't get it when they registered. The items will be available in the Shopping District as well. They cannot be bought or sold for a lot so they can't be used to generate Sugar Stars. (Creating multiple accounts to get more of these items for free is a banable offense.) The weapon and health potion are very week as they are only meant for very new members.
The New Bee set should be available by next week. The Quick Start Guide will be thoroughly updated then as well using these items as examples so members will understand the site a lot better when they are new.
Many members have helped contribute to this set so we would like to thank them now!
The full HA Buddy outfit was designed by @swan excluding Bee Friends which were designed by @kibby
New Bee Goating was designed by @Arishark and @Nogalina
Bumble Blade and Vitamin Bee was designed by @Cervine
And the Bee Icon was designed by @bearsister
Thank you all for helping our new members feel welcome!

Goatlings.com is now three years old! Things sure have blossomed since this time last year! We had just reopened after a full site programing revamp. We went from 3,000 members to over 20,000 members! From 43 Goatlings to 95 Goatlings!!! And added more items and features to count without some seriously boring math.

Click here to play Treasure Trivia now!
New Treasure Trivia games start within the first week of each month. You may need to refresh the page (or press Ctrl+F5) to see the new Treasure Trivia items!
Important Notice: There has been a slight change in how the prize for Treasure Trivia works. From now on, the Treasure Trivia prize will NOT retire. The prize will be a brand new Shopping District item. The item will be marked as a rare item instead of a typical common item. This will make getting certain elusive new items easier to collect, and also eliminate some of the anguish created by long retired items.

Thank you everyone for being with us during the second year of Goatlings.com! A Year 2 Badge has been given out to all current members to add to their collection - it has also been retired! Thank you all again for making 2014 a wonderful year!
Goatlings.com turns 3 years old in 2015 so some fun birthday surprises will be arriving shortly!
(Note about Year 3 Badge - Since we now have the ability to give everyone on the site a free item, the Year 3 Badge will not be sold at the Gift Shop like the Year 2 Badge was. It will be given out for free at the end of 2015.)
