Hello
Welcome to Animal Ares!
To get started you'll want to buy some animals! You can buy animals from the corral with corral tokens or from other players. The corral has a limited supply of animals available at a time, so keep checking back if you're looking for a specific breed.
You can earn free corral tokens by completing goals. Completing goals will also help get you started in playing the game earning many great rewards to help you care for your animals.
Visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page to get some quick answers to common questions. You can also ask other members or staff for help on our Help Forum Page.

Hey guys just wanted to apologize for the absence. I have not disappeared, was working on switching our internet and ended up getting cut off before getting the new setup. I will hopefully have everything back to normal in the next few days and will be handing out prizes for the thankfulness contest!
Remember to follow the rules as I will be checking the chat logs and such once I have full access online again and handing out any punishments or warnings if needed.
Thank you for understanding.

Happy Thanksgiving
Hello everyone, I hope everyone has a great week and Thanksgiving for us Americans. Though we should all remember to be thankful for what we have everyday anyway. :)
And to celebrate that, I am running a drawing on the forums. Post something you are thankful for to enter!
Updates
Not much completed items to report yet, just some in progress ones like the pet profile page revamp and goals revamp. Hoping to have the profile page revamp out to you pretty soon here, but it's not quite ready yet. However the recent posts page has now finally been converted to the new framework, and I think it looks a lot better these days. Let me know if you notice any issues with it of course.
November Sale!
From now until the end of November you'll receive an extra 25% credits on all purchases made. Credits are a rare currency used to buy things like account upgrades, mythical creatures, and other in game bonus. All purchases go towards funding the game helping with future development and keeping the server running! A thank you to everyone who has and will help support the site this way. You can purchase credits from the Credits Page using paypal.

Happy Halloween!
Have a fun and safe Halloween everyone! Always remember to check your candy for signs of tampering if you are going door to door.
To celebrate on Animal Acres I have sent some trick or treat bags out to everyone who has been active this past week! This is the last time trick or treat bags will be sent this year. You can still find them on the site, but it won't be much longer before those will be gone for the season as well so get them while you can!
Remember you can visit the Pumpkin Patch to with your bags for some rare rewards!
Munchies Mini Game
A bit ago now I created a Halloween themed mini game for a contest. You can now enjoy it online! The game does not save, but it's easy to play in one sitting. Music created by the Aaron and the plushies are of the Zorvic a creature found in Eliyo. Play the Munchies Mini Game

Eliyo Public Launch
Hello everyone. For those that don't know I have been working on another game for a number of years now, and have finally launched public beta today. I apologize in advance if there are any servers issues. The games are currently on the same server and may need to be increased depending on the load Eliyo pulls in.
Eliyo is also a free to play game. Here is the link http://www.eliyo.net/ for those that are interested in trying it out.
Free Trick or Treat Bags
You may have noticed but I gave out some more trick or treat bags a couple days ago. More to come later in the month so stay active if you don't want to miss out!

October Event
For the month of october you will be able to find trick or treat bags! These bags can be used as is but they also allow you access to the pumpkin patch. Pick a pumpkin at the patch for opportunities to win all kinds of prizes including rare items only released at halloween, animal acres credits, and free land permits!
To start I'm giving out every player active in this last week 5 trick or treat bags!
For the month of October you'll also gain a trick or treat bag for all credits purchased from the site.
Mythic Pricing
Mythic species per credit pricing seemed a bit high to me, and I don't feel like the individual buy options were used a lot, so I adjusted the pricing on mythics for credits to be lower all around.
Butterflies are gone with the cold front that has moved in.

Land Management Update
I've made some updates to the land management section giving it a face lift and adding in some more information on the acre pages to help things be a little clearer in taking care of your acre. Farming is a credits only option which costs 25 credits to access for the year. Once you have access you can purchase acres at the cost of 20,000 animal acres dollar per acre, but an acre can be used over and over again as long as you take care of it.
Upgraded players can have 10 acres and regular can have 8 (was 2 before this update).
To keep your acre from being taken away keep it's health above 0 and below 125%. It'll drop below 0% if you have it seeded with a crop and don't tend it regularly. If it's not seeded you don't need to worry about this and it'll actually raise to 50% health if it's under that. You can raise it past 125% by tending it once it's near that limit. But that's the time to harvest it instead.
And here's a gif showing the process of seeding your acre and interacting with the crop to raise the health.

Animal Overview Update
The animal overview page has been updated and revamped. Check it out. Should function the same, so let me know if you run into any errors.
New Bird Discipline
I had received a request a while back for more bird disciplines. And decided to add hunting as an option for birds. Skills required are strength, intelligence, and speed. Enjoy!
Butterflies
The butterflies won't be along for much longer as the cold front moves in. Catch them while you can!

Minor Update
So some people commented on the layout wanting a slightly different color, and got me thinking it'd be nice to be able to customize it a bit yourself. So, new feature. You can now customize the layout for yourself. Under your profile page, scroll down to just under the Layout selection and a new textarea will be there labeled customize layout. Add your css in the box and it will be applied to the site as you browse.
Here is the code to use to make the navigation and footer blue like mentioned! I think it looks pretty good. Just copy and paste it exactly as it is here for the blue.
#navigation, #footer, .menu li ul, .menu li li, .menu li ul a{ background: #486A96; } .menu li a:hover, .menu li a:focus, .menu li:focus a, .menu ul li:hover a, .navigation_header:hover, .navigation_header:focus { background: #486a96; } .menu li ul a:hover, .menu li ul li:hover a{ background: #696969; }You can also insert a different color just replace the #486a96 with whatever color you want. The #696969 is the menu hover color and can also be changed. www.colorpicker.com is a great way to easily get the hex format of a color you want.

Lots of Updates
Well today was an animal acres work day and I was able to get a lot of in progress stuff done along with some other minor updates. Enjoy!
New Layout!
There is a new layout available for Animal Acres. You can select it as an option on your profile page 'Green Meadows', it's also the new default layout so selecting 'Default' will set it as active as well. Note that you will need to refresh the page a second time after changing your layout to actually see the change. Let use know what you think in the comments section below.
Inventory Update
I've updated the inventory page so it just lists the images with the option to click them to access the individual item page. The old inventory page is now known as the Quick Stock page. You can get to it through a link at the top of the inventory section and it will work exactly the saem as before.
Minor Chat Updates
In addition to what I updated yesterday I added the ability to click on a players ID (in the current users list) to whisper to them. Was a suggestion and was simple to add so I went ahead and added it in.
Town Map Banner
And finally the town map has a new banner overtop. So you can go check it out.

Chat Party Summary
Thanks to all who came up to the chat party. It was great to talk with you all. For those who weren't able to make it we discussed a couple things with the game including keeping animals from aging if you haven't logged on in a week. Which I have went ahead and updated! This means if real life takes you a way for a while, you don't have to worry about your animals dying in your absence. Once you come back your animals will continue to age normally. I also made the chat input box larger.
Have a great night everyone!

Chat Party! Tuesday at 7pm
So a chat party is long overdue. So I am thinking this Tuesday night starting maybe 7pm and then I will be available for 3 hours, maybe a bit more. I will be available to talk and answer questions. Hopefully there will be a handful and should be great time to work on chat goals! As well feel free to give some opinions on the game and future direction you'd like to see.
Reply in the post below to suggest an alternate time or mention if this time is good for you. I chose Tuesdays since I know a while back it was good for a couple people.
Forum Contest
On another note. Not Quite Wild is running a posting contest in the forums! Post for a chance to win prizes. Just remember follow the game rules and forum rules including no spamming.
Have a great day!

Image Added to Image Bank!
I've added over a dozen new images to the image bank to choose from adding in dragons, gryphons, and pegasus which previously didn't have any in the bank along with some other species and recolors.
And a big thanks to Hyperion for helping do some recolors.

Training Arenas Update
Like the vet clinic the training arenas page has had an overhaul. You can still search the same but now a small subset of open clinics will appear on the list right away to choose from.
Here is a preview of what the page looks like.

Corral Update!
So this update took longer than I had planned but the corral has finally been updated. It has all the same functionality as before with the ability to purchase animals and mythic bundles along with selling animals back to the corral, but everything has had a face lift and I have tried to make things as easy to user as possible.
In addition the ability to purchase mythics through credits has been moved to corral. The credits page just links to the corral now instead. I have not changed anything yet, but in working on this it has allowed me to take a look at current prices and I may be doing some adjusting in the future as the individual animal prices do seem a bit high.
Check out the new corral pageUpdated Images
I've also added some updated images for the Special Kitty Harnesses set. And updated the generic brush as well. Examples below.
Enjoy! And Have a Great Day!

New Leash Item Images
I have new leashes uploaded which is the start of updating the images for the game to make things more consistent. I also plan to look at the items themselves, potentially changing them, or adding more as needed. Take a look at some of the leash options below.
