ENTER FOR XOPAS # 99 👾

Each time you enter a raffle, you get some currency regardless if you win or not. While we still don't have shops open to spend on just yet, it is our form of thanks for the patience as we work on Planet Xaoc's upcoming ARPG. This raffle will end on September 10th, 2025 of the site's clock. Good luck everyone!  

🌏 Hello, this is ocularguts! Carrying over from our discord server updates post, most major site updates will be now moved from "Late August 2025" to generally "Late 2025" - I will be editing necessary pages to reflect this. This is due to some unexpected calamity issues in my country (severe multiple typhoons compounded over a nearby tsunami really destroyed my safety for a long while), which leaves me to needing to focus on much needed house repairs and injury recoveries. 💦 I have temporarily relocated somewhere physically safe to be able to type up this update and sorta get back on life again, but still have very limited access to the internet while local rescuers navigate the situation. However, I do want to emphasize that Planet Xaoc development brings me a lot of comfort and normalcy, so updates + adopts (to fund site costs) will still continue, just a bit slower! Thanks you so much for the patience and understanding.

🌏 Moving forward, I have now started catching up with my badges queue! Participation for ArtFight 2024 (Seafoam versus Stardust), as well as this year's Artfight 2025 Event (Fossils versus Crystals):

     

🌏 If you have participated on this year's ArtFight 2025 event but forgot to submit within last month, you are still allowed to do so via the previous news post until the end of August 2025:

AF2025 SUBMISSION BIN

🌏 Side note: For those wondering how badge rarities will be handled, all of them will eventually be available via ARPG in some way! All of them represent a specific creature with lore relevant histories, so there will be no badge that is totally locked to a certain timeframe (as an overtly busy fella, I am truly allergic to all things FOMO). Given that these will likely be in form of a prompt or travelling merchant - it will be an update that will be available much later, so there is no guaranteed date of release for these prompts at the moment. I'm working on it, for sure! Hopefully within mid to late 2026.  

🌏 Going back: I have mentioned in the past that there will be an extension for ArtFight 2025 considering the announcement was made mid-month rather than the start of - I will be moving this extension into December 2026: in the form of a Secret Santa event instead! Previous participants of AF2025 and those who have missed it are both able to enter. The reward again will be a MYO slot + new badge (and those who have missed the AF2025 badge will get that badge as well). I believe that it would not be intuitive to award slots when new MYO design submissions are still closed until rarity and webcoding modifications are done (which needs more time due to aforementioned IRL events), so that is why I moved it to that date while still allowing the ability to get the badge from AF2025 participation.  

🌏 Besides that, I have also been having some important webdev thoughts: Prompts will definitely be a thing but due to their nature of being lore-heavy (which requires a lot of time to write and make art for) and needs admin approval, they will be de-priotized for the time being in favor of on-site methods of earning ARPG cash (such as pet interactions, browser mini games, dailies, wheels, etc). After recent nasty calamities over here, I want the site to have parts that function that relies less on my moderation. More progress will be announced throughout the months! I will also be considering adding a comics section on the site for further future updates that I find enjoyment progress project-wise.  

🌏 On a different note - a question that comes up a lot is: "Do I need to pay to have a Planet Xaoc character?" - The answer is no, and here is a copy-paste elaboration from our rules:

"Designing and owning a Planet Xaoc character is entirely free if desired! We run on a P2R (Pay To Register) system, which means officially registering onsite may potentially cost funds. For example: buying a MYO slot, admin custom commission, or similar methods that explicitly state use of real world currency.  However, in the Terms of Service: Section II (Letter J - Fan characters) - you are allowed to freely make Planet Xaoc inspired characters, use the worldbuild within TTRPG sessions with friends, write and involve your one-off characters, and upload them offsite! So long as we are credited for the source material and they are explicitly noted as a fan character: only used for personal fun, and not for profit nor to harm others."

🌏 Other minor site changes are fixing typos + added name history tidbit on the anatomy page, updated the FAQ (work-in-progress), re-added community made free bases, and lastly, I added the above note regarding fan characters in relevant areas of the website:
