Survival Update!
If you've made it to the final stage of an infection already and don't have it, worry not! On the final day of Survival we will allow every user to select one infection from this year that they did not unlock, and unlock it for free. This prevents us from manually replacing the skins, and should hopefully just be a faster process overall, considering the sheer number of people.
As a thank you, we're sending out 250 cash shop credits to everyone who has participated so far in Survival. We'll also be extending Survival by one full day. Thank you 💖!

Sooo how do we get our free skin? Didn't see an option to get one for free at the VIP and i don't see an option to select one for free from the wardrobe either. Maybe they're still working on figuring out how to give the free skin?

u say every user get a free Strain to unlock on final day, but how that works.. ? in wardrobe is not possible, on volunteer is not even one note... it would bei cool If explain it correct... not all of us speak english well and if u no allow our motherlanguage than take the time to tell all not speaking english ppl what u mean... m' not a magician, i need a translation..

Wuen you do the VIP program. Is it supposed to take over 12 hours for your strain to take affect?

So survival is open till the 11th now right (since it was originally the 10th and 10 +1 = 11)?
Can someone maybe update the sidebar on the news page with the new date?

Couldn't you unlock the base hairs at the same time as you were unlocking the skins? I've had the same HA for almost two years now because the hair is locked for me so I can't access it, meaning if I change my outfit I will become bald.

@Abel have you posted on the Survival forums for bites? I know the Fever-burds are always eager to add to their flock.

Thank you for Sikura by the way. I've been begging for years for zombie strains that start out pretty and stay that way. I know you guys probably did it because of the COVID, but I'll take it. <3

Having a problem with kissing. I haven't been on since about 9 last night but when I try to kiss it says I have 8 minutes before I can kiss again.
I tried both the forums and friends on my sidebar same thing.

I love you all very much but is there any way you could make the 10min wait times less?
Getting one-three candy every ten minutes is so...hard. Even halved it would be so much nicer ;;?
I have bad health I cannot think to be on the computer nonstop setting timers for 10m each.
Even if you just halved the wait time I'd be grateful, as would I'm sure many others. Or maybe up the number going out per kiss.
I really do appreciate all the work on other stuff and free csc. Just trying to put a comment in bc its a LONG wait (only 6 kisses an hour...boo)

@SolusAurora this is why you can click staff forum posts on the right side of the news page and see anything the staff has said on the forums. Whenever there's a new issue, I always check there first/periodically over the next day or so. Like, I noticed my skin had disappeared at about 10am on Wednesday when I got on, and there was an instruction from Keith on there at ~noon the same day to go ahead and sign up for a new strain and they'd figure out how to award the interrupted strains later. So I found the problem at my morning break, and had a solution by lunch break. Seems amazing to me! :D
And thank you staff for the extras, I appreciate ya'll being so proactive about it all!

Thank you for acknowledging the issues. I really appreciate the extra help with getting the skins to make up for the time lost. It's great especially on top of time decreases too! I really appreciate the extra credits, any help to get the survival released CWs I covet is a great one. :)

What about the Snowtapult?
Oh No!
Snowballs are temporarily closed to due to a problem where they could interfere with Survival strains. We are now investigating this issue, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

It is a shame I lost a full infection and only saw this now when I thought I should be able to have the skin by now. Wasted a few days trying to get the Magical skin, signed up for a new one but rather disappointed even if we get a "free" one, still lost a lot of time.

Though I wish we could just pick it now because I was hoping to help infect some friends with Sickura, but I can live with this as long as I get it in the end.

Thank you for all the work that is put into this... especially with RL challenges. Coding is NOT easy... trying to find an or several issues is even worse. It's normal for old codes to cause chaos once in a while... plus, it's Survival; we're all going to get through it. Think about it... it's more of a survival challenge for staff than us, offers virtual hugs to all :heart:

That is a great solution! I signed up again for the same strain that I had lost progress on, so the option to pick any of the new skins (and not just the one that we lost) at the end is really helpful to me. Thanks for your tireless efforts, staff! It is appreciated. :blush:

Though I may want to go through the Sickura stages all over again for fun. XD Unless I'm still progressing through another strain, that is.

So would it be better for me to get the strain I started with and go through the stages again if I wanted it sooner, and then choose another one of this year's strains at the end?

So if we had the skin and lost it due to server issues, we cant get that skin back unless we ask for it? Just trying to confirm

Glad to hear things have been sorted.
Quick question: I noticed the new strains have the VIP names rather than the community names. Out of curiosity, will this change later or are the VIP names the official ones?

and because i always read the start page first and then go to my invi i apologize in all form and now i finally have time to get my virus. but that sounds more than strange

yeah, i was lucky that i worked since the start and had no time to get infected. because on the first day when I wanted to start nothing went here, except refreshing and pages that did not stop loading. who needs 250 cash, doesn't matter. Congratulations to everyone who had the time to play and succeed.

I think this is a good compromise. Manually giving each and one of us the skins seems a lot of work, especially since it, we all lost different ones. I'm excited about getting a free skin in the end. And thank you for the CSC, it's a lovely surprise.

This seems more than generous, and any pushback I might otherwise somewhat agree with (what with some getting a free skin due to a narrow window) I think is mitigated by the fact that the strain progression is so much faster!
I'm a little concerned about how this might affect the pool of biters for the new strains. Has anyone noticed a more lengthy wait for bite-based progression for the new strains?

If I understand this right, I could get a strain from this year even though I didn't try for one of them?
Because I lost a good 20 hours when I was stuck in a mature skin and couldn't take it off to get infected.

@Keith - Oh, it doesn't, I'm just a little sad that I can't have the strain I should have unlocked two days ago until the end, I want to help spread the infections around. I feel like I've wasted two days of precious survival time on that first strain for no good reason, could have unlocked an older skin in that time or something.
I am glad the lag is fixed, and the forums are working, and if free skin for everyone later and not getting my skin right away is the trade off for that, then that's how it's got to be. I'd rather the forums be working, than an extra skin in my wardrobe that I am unlikely to wear outside of survival.

Thank you for the csc and allowing us to get our skin back for free. I lost my pointy and looking forward to getting it back.
One small question though. Is there any reason why it has to be the final day of survival and not... now? (or sooner rather than later) Having it open for only one day and not for the rest of survival makes me feel bad for anyone who might not be on that day.

Hmmmm. maybe this year I stick to trying to get all old infections ( unless I get a new one from random later since I have a chance at a freebe.
Normally I do one new skin per year for my unlock quota.

@pointycatears You can, but it involves somebody with the skin to share an outfit on site. Then you can remove their clothes, dress it up, and save it.

So the free unlock infection is only for the infections from this year? Did I understand that correctly?

Awww, now I have to wait longer to get my Queasea strain, and I've been trying to avoid looking at it in full until I have it. Are we still allowed to use skins we haven't unlocked in the wardrobe just to play around with them, like with items we don't own? Because if I can, then I guess that compensates for it, I really wanted to see how I could dress it.
