 | The time has finally come: SPARKLING! is now open! This is probably going to be a long update so do make sure you read through everything - if anyone asks a question with an answer that can be found from this, I will redirect you back to this update! :3c REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!Click the JOIN US link in the navigation (or this update) to sign up!! If you get any doubles in your starter pack, you can exchange them HERE.Do note that activating your site account has 2 parts: a self-activation link sent to the e-mail used to register, and a manual approval by an admin; without the first part, you won't be able to log in to your account and without the second part, most features (games, activities, services, etc) won't be unlocked - so don't forget to do both! If you're having trouble completing the self-activation part, contact Cassidy ASAP because sometimes that e-mail does not get sent right away for reasons out of our control so I will need to manually activate that for you. Afterwards, head on over to the Starter Pack Bonus thread once you've uploaded your starter pack! Even if you applied for your Producer Card early during prejoin, you still need to fill out the form - just mention that your MC is already made instead. Remember that you are not an officially approved member until you receive a reply from an admin (currently that's only me, Cassidy!) saying you've been approved so don't forget to PM me on the forums once you have your starter pack bonus uploaded as well! Once approved, you can go ahead and play the games listed above (Local Shows, Studio Program, National Tour, most Overseas Schedule games) and use anything else available in the TCG; feel free to start trading too! The only features not available right now are Ruby Collection, Curtain Call, and Events/Seasonal Mini Events, whereas the On-Location Filming set will be available with next week's update so do not play it yet! For this month only, Group Collect will occur on the forums for a special custom theme. This is also a reminder for any PREJOINERS that prejoin-exclusive Collab Stage round is still open on the forums for anyone who hasn't submitted an image yet! PREJOIN REWARDSAs a reminder, rewards from prejoin (and pre-prejoin) will NOT be sent out right away! They will only be sent after we hit at least 100 released decks so that there will hopefully be more variety in the randomizer. As such, I do plan on increasing the amount of decks released weekly during the first 1-2 months of opening because of this which will also include the decks that were requested during prejoin by those of you who maxed out their deck donations!EDIT ON 2026-01-11: For those of you who donated any of the decks released at opening, you are free to take your donator (and/or deck maker, if that applies to you) pull now! Just comment on this update with what you grabbed for archiving and you're good to upload it to your trade post. REGULAR TCG NEWSWith SPARKLING! now open, it's also a new month so that means monthly donations have been reset. Everyone can donate up to 10 new decks max. as well as 2 rank badge sets and 5 Broken CD images if they would like; link buttons are not being accepted regularly as those were a prejoin bonus!I also expect there will be many errors/issues popping up now that everything is available to use and test so I would like to point out/remind everyone that we have an entire Help Desk sub-forum with different error reporting threads depending on the problem you run in to. PLEASE report everything in their respective threads (or whichever thread makes more sense to report in) and do NOT message me with errors! I'm prone to forgetting and losing things in my DMs so having errors in one place on the forums should lessen the chances of me missing anything. There is also a thread for questions, along with one for suggestions, but you can also ask anything in the #faq-and-help channel in our Discord server - however, posting on the forums benefits those who are not a member of the server but may have the same questions! That said, we do strongly encourage everyone to join the server as we post a lot of quick updates and notices/announcements in real time there so it's the best way to get updates and info from us ASAP. If you don't though, no worries; we still compile everything into the site updates, they will just be delivered to you a bit delayed compared to those in the server! SITE MILESTONESWe also have our first site milestones! There's going to be a lot but make sure you are only taking the ones you're allowed to. The first is our monthly milestone, available to ANYONE who is a member regardless of status but can only be claimed during January! It's also available in the sidebar for easy access in case you forget and need to take it later. ev-202601 The next are to celebrate our grand opening, the new year, and our current layouts! As a special opening gift, ANYONE who is a member regardless of status/when you join can claim these as long as it's still January. Afterwards, only those with PREJOIN STATUS can claim these at any time then!     ev-grandopening, ev-newyear2026, ev-layout001, ev-forumlayout001 Our last milestone today is exclusive to members with PREJOIN STATUS only! This can be claimed at any time, even after January, as long as you were a prejoiner.  ev-prejoin CLOSING NOTESAnd I believe that's it for now, unless I edit things in later (which I probably will as things come up because I feel like I'm forgetting stuff lmao)! We'll be following the regular update schedule going forward so the next weekly update will be on January 17th which will have our first release, wishes, and freebies. See you then! |

 | PREJOIN IS NOW OVERStay tuned for the official grand opening on January 10th!If you participated in prejoin, please check the Prejoin Rewards Tracker for your name and ensure all the info, numbers, rewards, etc are correct - this is what we will be referring to when sending out rewards later so it's important that they are accurate! If not, please message Cassidy with what needs to be fixed ASAP. Thank you!  After three weeks, we are now entering the fourth and FINAL WEEK of our prejoin phase! If you've recently found our TCG and want to secure prejoin status for yourself once we officially open, make sure you read the Prejoin Information thread over on the forums and make an account under the same name you will use when joining the TCG later. Prejoin ends on January 3rd! Remember, in order to obtain prejoin status, you must complete any ONE (1) of the following options at the bare minimum:
If you joined the forums during the prejoin period but DID NOT PARTICIPATE in any prejoin activities then you will *not* get prejoin status once we open, even though your forum account was made during the correct time frame. DONATIONSThis is also a reminder that graphic donation limits are doubled during prejoin meaning you can earn twice the amount of rewards if you were to max out the normal monthly limit allowed! If you haven't maxed out your graphic donations yet and want to get all possible rewards plus the bonus reward for maxed donations, then make sure to drop those off before the end of prejoin.There is also a new bonus perk for those who have maxed out their prejoin deck donations where you can request ONE (1) deck from the current prejoin donations to be made and released within the first month of opening -OR- a deck from upcoming to be released within the first month of opening instead. Just make sure to add the request form to the confirmation form in the Deck Donations thread to submit your choice! I'd also like to remind those of you who are still donating decks to remember we ask for the gacha/event name for card info, not the card's individual name itself - unless there is no gacha/event name associated with the card, then you can write the card name instead. Please refer to the Card Resource List on the site credits page for links to various card archive/info sites of most of the current series/games we have, if you need help figuring out where to find that info and/or are looking for more images to donate! OTHER NEWSWith there being only one week left of prejoin, here's a round up of what's happened--and is happening--now!
