The first hints of Fall are being felt around the Goatlings Kingdom, such as the occasional chill in the air...
Cold Frisson and Minions have come to the Battle Center and are ready to challenge your Goatlings to a friendly battle. Train your Goatlings and collect limited edition loot!
Don't forget to save a couple stamps for your collection! If you're really lucky you may win a few Goat Tokens to use on the seasonal Token Game! (Fall Token Game arriving in about a week.)
Cold Frisson and Minions will stick around until about September 30th. After that they will leave us until next year and their limited edition loot will retire. (Excluding stamps and Goat Tokens.)

Greetings Fanlings,
As we had stated last year, we have re-evaluated the situation regarding user made Diamond Dust (Monster Box and Mascot) entries for this years Monster Masquerade.
We have come to the difficult discussion what we, especially our Art Staff and I, feel most comfortable with doing.
This year, Diamond Dust submissions will not be open to all users. The Monster Box and the Mascots will be Staff designs.
This is not said lightly, but due to multiple incidents with stolen designs over the years, including ones happening within the last few months, we do not feel comfortable opening these to users yet. We had hoped to reverse this decision when Fall rolled back around, but we cannot. While we know some will be disappointed with this decision, please understand this was not an easy choice which is why it took us a bit to decide, and announce it. We are very aware of how important this event is for users, and how many users create designs for this season. We apologize that this announcement has come later than expected, but the discussion has been going on for a while as we weighed options.
Goatlings.com encourages creativity, we want users to have fun creating designs they love - but this comes with a risk. If a design is plagiarized from a large company, Goatlings.com runs multiple legal issues. If designs are taken from small creators, we are placed still in a situation where we are responsible for stolen work. It is never okay to steal designs. This goes without saying. Smaller creators have less recognizability and may not be noticed until work is done. This doubles, if not even further increasing our art teams work load at what is already the busiest time of the year for the site, and for many in their personal lives. We do our best to vet every design we consider, but we simply cannot be aware of every character and design that exists. Especially again, regarding smaller creators.
This risk remains in other designs and areas of the site, but the specific trouble and burden placed on the Site, Staff, and myself with the items sold for Diamond Dust are larger.
The current decision to have only Staff created designs for Diamond Dust will remain until further notice. However, this season for Monster Masquerade user made designs are eligible for Battle Center, Baleful Bootique, and Eerie Estate. As well as the Mascot Fusion design.
When submitting designs to contests, Token, Battle Center, and any other official submissions, please list your inspirations so our team may make educated decisions about the designs. Additionally, if you notice designs that may look too close to something already existent off of Goatlings, please send in a Support Ticket.
We hope everyone can look forward to the fantastic designs and event we have planned this year. We appreciate everyone's understanding.
Thank you!

Greetings Fanlings!
Due to recent events, the subject of duplicate vs. unique Goatling names is being discussed again, so we would like to hold another poll to officially gauge current member interest on the subject. Results of polls regarding this subject in the past have been too divided to make any solid decisions, but we would like to explore this idea again.
A related topic to also consider when voting is our future plans for more Goatling customization. These are ideas Goatling Staff have been working on if the programming and funding allows for it after other improvements are added to the site. These ideas are not yet guaranteed, but it is a sneak peek on what we have been cooking up for future updates.
Future Goatling Customization Ideas
+ Name Colors
+ Display name icons
+ 'titles' or 'ribbons' for Goatlings (and members)
+ Collections for books read, foods eaten, and toys played with (only for items that do not retire)
+ Decorative borders for goats - maybe backgrounds in the far future as well
+ Give Love to Goatlings
Regarding duplicate vs. unique Goatling names, please cast one vote for the option that best describes your interest.
Vote will remain open until September 14th. Creating or using multiple accounts to sway poll outcome will result in a ban of all related accounts.
Thank you!
