HI everyone, As you probably know, the Shocktopus wriggled his way into the Soulforge yesterday, a few days before he was planned to release! So we Shoved him into chests last night as well, just to be consistent. _(and if you’ve ever tried to shove a Shocktopus into a chest… it’s a little like trying to relocate a seagull into a gumboot)_ Never fear! We’ll still be doing a mailout on Wednesday/Thursday with a free Shocktopus for everyone (and some extras for the competition winners). ---

Lol @jzg Chat was acting up so I don’t know if you saw my post but when you asked when Shocktopus was coming out. I replied Wednesday for Valentine’s day. Looks like my fake news could be right. 😉 ---

@Ghaleon, no it doesn’t. We just wanted to release Shocktopus for Valentine’s Day. (Insert tentacle love joke here.) @Venar, it will come traited for some of the winners of the design a troop competition. For everyone else, it will be untraited. 🙂 ---

Sorry, but I need to make a negative feedback comment: You guys need to work on a few new sound bites for spells. Shocktopus gets the guitar strings? Really? Same for the sand bug, another recycled sound. ---
