This is the first post of our "Weekly Update Post" series. These posts will outline the changes we've made to Dancraft, the bugs we've patched, what you can expect to see in the upcoming week, and any other information regarding the previous or upcoming week.

Weekly Poll

This poll is used to help us understand what content players would like to see and prioritize the development and order of updates. The questions asked in this poll have been "brought forward" by suggestions from our suggestion form.
If you would like to make a suggestion, you can do so at dancraft.net/suggest.




Completing this form means you can "voice" your opinions and help shape Dancraft's future, but it is not obligatory. Link:

Changes and Suggestions

This section covers what changes have been made to the network and what suggestions have been implemented/are being worked on. We welcome any suggestions for the Dancraft Network and are happy to implement any quality of life updates (e.g. new items in shops, small game changes). Bigger suggestions are also encouraged, but can take longer to be implemented/responded to.

If you have a suggestion, we want to hear it! Visit dancraft.net/suggest to let us know.




Please note, some of the minor changes have only just been pushed live and could take up to 24 hours to "sync" across the network. See log of suggestions/changes below:
