If you are an existing member and have not yet finished the verification/migration process, be sure to complete all of these steps:

1. ​Register an account, then verify your email address. We suggest keeping your username close to what you've been using for the sake of recognizability, but ultimately you may choose whatever name you'd like (within reason, of course). Usernames can only be changed once per month.

2. Go to the Verification page and link your dA account. All existing members should specifically use dA for initial aliasing, as that's what all of your owned horses and slots have been logged under! Don't worry, you can always add your TH later if you prefer. Please note that your horses, genos, and slots will not show up in your account until you've completed Step 3 - don't worry if they aren't there immediately.

3. Head to the new #introductions channel on Discord and fill out the intro form. We'll get your LK account verified as soon as possible so you can continue!

4. Submit an Item Claim to transfer all of your currency, items, and achievements. All of these should be entered under "REWARDS" - leave everything else blank.
   
   - To see your bank/inventory, use /bal and /inv in the #bot-spam channel.
   - To see your achievements, click your name in the server.
   NOTE: Seashells and Carnival Tickets exist as currency on the site rather than items, so be sure to enter those accordingly.

5. Once a staff member has checked and accepted your claim, you're good to go!

Afterward, we strongly recommend reading through the new Guidebook to get a sense of the new processes: https://www.loshenka.net/info/getting-started  

Note - Please migrate your currency, items, and achievements by April 30th. After this point, old records stored on Discord may be cleared out.

With the transition to the new website, quite a few things changed. Aside from the obvious modifications to submissions/workflow, the following is a (non-exhaustive) list of changes made and notes to keep in mind as you get settled in. More notes may be added as needed. If you run into any errors, bugs, or mistakes, please let us know in the #help-channel. General questions should be directed to the #help-channel.

• Existing XP/ranks have been preserved. If your horse's XP/rank doesn't match the registry, let us know.
  
  
• You may notice a difference in your horses' breeding slots versus their ref. We found a lot of missing/double-used slots during migration, and all unused slots marked for banned users have also been cleared out. Before reporting discrepancies as a bug/issue, please search your horse's ID in the breeding and notif channels to ensure the slot is actually incorrect.
  
  
• Normal queues and activities will be reopened over the next few weeks, so we can be sure the site is running as intended and fix any bugs/errors before we're back in full force!
  
  
• If your birthday is in March and/or it passed while we were closed, submit a separate item claim for x1 Birthday Present (this is an openable item that contains all the normal bday rewards!) with a link to the Discord message. If your birthday is in April or beyond, you'll receive your presents on the first of each month as long as your Birthday Publicity is set to 1+.
  
  
• Ancestry XP has been removed due to limitations from the new masterlist. Existing Ancestry XP was preserved as-is on all designed horses.
  
  
• All designs on LoshenkaAdmin have been archived, as the website is now considered the only official source of up-to-date records. If you are linking your horses for any reason (selling/trading, art references, etc), please be sure to link to the site from now on! This also goes for breeding slots. Please do not use your horses' dA refs to update slots, as dA refs will no longer be used. You must (re-)register your horse on the site to add slots.
  
  
• Outdated queue channels, inventory/bank bots, registry spreadsheet, etc will be cleared out on April 14th. Please be sure to finish migration and double-check everything you own before then to avoid losing anything!
  
  
• Any errors or discrepancies found should be reported to the #help-channel. Please be sure to provide any relevant links/info needed for us to help you efficiently! 
  
  
• Genos created from this point forward will not be assigned an ID until a design is accepted. Please note that the number in the url is not your geno's ID, it's just the number the site itself is using in the database while it's undesigned! Once a design is accepted, an ID will be automatically given and the URL will convert to the normal, full character "ID-(####)" format.
