#verpets

Last year, a small portion of the legacy Verpets community came together and began rebuilding the site from scratch!

Over that time, we have developed many of the game's core features and are inviting over 80 members to join in, test what we have so far, and share valuable feedback that will help shape our next steps.

You can follow our progress more closely on our Discord (https://discord.gg/3GzKwMVmth), as well as periodic updates here as we continue to move forward.

For now, here are a few of my favorite pet designs so far, with more to come!

Hello there! My name is TK, and that is also my username via Acitius.

I’m calling out the users Elliott and Rat, both staff members of the site (Head Moderator and Head Artist, respectively), for blatant theft because I would not trade Elliott a custom character I owned.

I’ll leave everything under a cut now ♥

A long, long time ago in 2015, I bought the first design from Pet Sales because a lot of people jumped ship and were selling characters left and right, since people were assuming Acitius was going to be hitting the fan. Back then, I actually bought this character from the user Monster, if I remember correctly. Not Elliott.

But fast forward to 2017, when Acitius takes new ownership and Elliott/Rat become staff under Brian, Elliott started asking to trade for Honey (which is the name the custom pet ended up with, with me) I unfortunately wasn’t interested in anything Elliott had and so I eventually traded the design to Titania at Verpets.com, then deleted the original pet on Acitius

I released a bunch of character names for free on Acitius for others to use very recently, and this is what I found just a little bit ago

EDIT: thanks for making images too small, tumblr

HERE IS AN IMGUR ALBUM OF THE SCREENSHOTS

Elliott had Rat draw a blatant copy and had still taken the design for themself -- on a name I happened to release

I even went ahead and spent the 1.5k WSG to remake the deleted version of Honey

Which I wouldn’t have had the ability to do if I’d traded this pet to Elliott instead of deleting it (The pet was renamed to Bell because someone already snatched the name Honey so I had to force rename)

Proof that this pet existed long before Caramel

I’ve alerted @mothyard (Haunt) via Discord and Acitius’ site owner Brian of this, but I am waiting to see the reply from Elliott and/or Brian before I tell Titania about the theft

You will soon see the Zippuino speeding around The Plains of Verpets! Work on the Coliseum is coming to a close for now as we gather user feedback. We can’t wait to see how the community feels about this new take on pet site battling.

We are still in need of a map/environmental artist, so if you know anyone, or are interested yourself, reach out!
