Good evening everyone and welcome to the second installment of our new Bell Tree Direct series! For those new to the forum, or who missed the first installment, Bell Tree Direct is our series to announce and release new items, features, boards, and anything else new on The Bell Tree.
So with that out of the way, let's talk about what's new on The Bell Tree today and in the upcoming days! And we might just have a preview for something a bit farther down the line...
The cold winds are rising and something isn't feeling quite right around The Bell Tree. Rumours say that there's mysterious candy lurking around, but where could it be coming from?! Keep your eyes peeled, there could be more at any moment! Who knows what else could happen in the coming days...
Coming Soon in November: Pokemon League
That's right folks: The Bell Tree is about to get its very own Pokemon League lead by Prof Gallows in the near future! Get ready to go on a new adventure with us as you take on the leaders of The Bell Tree and collect badges to show off your victories. We'll have more details on this soon, and it will launch sometime in November. Stay tuned!
Modern Special Character AC Avatars
Have you seen Thunder's amazing Modern AC Villager avatars in the official forum Avatar Gallery? We've got more for you today! With a bit of a twist... This brand new set of 5 avatars feature what we call the Special Characters. Check a preview of them below and head to the Edit Avatar page in your Settings to use one yourself!
Self-Serve Thread Closing in Trading Boards
We've heard the requests. Starting today, you can close your own threads in certain boards on the forum. For now, the feature is available in the Re-Tail and Villager Trading Plaza boards for New Leaf. Use this feature to close your thread from further posts after you've finished a trade or other transaction!
Here are two ways you can close your own threads:
Method A
Method B
Monthly Birthstones Reminder
Did you know we have an ongoing Monthly Birthstone collectible series? It's been going strong since September! Don't forget that the current October Birthstone (Opal) will be leaving the shop in just 4 days when the month ends. And of course the new November Birthstone (Topaz) will be available when the month starts.
Remember that once a Monthly Birthstone leaves the Shop, it won't be back until at least the next year or never. We haven't quite finalized yet if they'll come back the next year or not.
The Second Fruit Collectible (Orange)
But wait! There's even more collectibles coming! The second installment in our Fruit Collectible series, the Orange fruit, is on sale today in the TBT Shop for just 79 Bells. And don't forget, the previous Pear fruit is still available in the TBT Shop for just 39 Bells. Stay tuned for the remaining fruits in future Bell Tree Directs.
As a reminder, the pricing and rarity of the fruits were decided by a public poll back in September. The results can be seen below:
Housekeeping
Some rearranging is happening today in the Animal Crossing section. Due to the massive popularity, the Villager Trading Plaza has been moved to the main page, instead of as a sub-board under Re-Tail. The not-so-popular Able Sister's board has been relegated to a sub-board under the main Animal Crossing: New Leaf board. This better reflects what the user base uses most and will save everyone time.
Additionally, two new NPC accounts have been put into action. Some automated forum PMs that may have been previously sent by Jeremy are now sent by Resetti or Gyroid. It's a nice little Animal Crossing touch.
Finally, the Shop has been restocked today. You might want to check that out. It's probably going to be sold out in minutes again. Run!!!
That's all folks!
Thanks for joining us on tonight's Bell Tree Direct! That's about all we have to share for today, but rest assured we're always working on future projects. There's lots more ahead for the rest of the year.
As always, be sure to let us know what you think about the announcements today by replying below. Oh and tell us if you'd like to see more Directs like this in the future.
