As you have noticed, AVH has a new, shinier, face.
There are some fairly major changes too that will confuse some of you, especially if you have not tried this new version while it was available for testing.
Given that this was a major change, involving all aspects of the game, it will take several days/weeks for all the things to work flawlessly again.
Some features might be missing, some might be slightly buggy, but they are being worked on;
The new version will improve and there are a lot of new things to be added, once the game itself has been become completely stable and all the missing features are restored.
Some of the things are gone.
The market and shops have been combined into a trade office.
The custom game colors are temporarily gone, they will be added in the future.
The community chest is gone, so are several magic item that have become obsolete.

Probably the most difficult change for the existing players is to adapt to the new way of trading items.
It may look confusing at first, but the trade office will help transforming the game into the community that was intended to be, from the beginning.
Players will no longer dump their belongings to a soulless market, they will have to trade their items with other members of the community.
Sure there will be players who will attempt to create unrealistic trade, some who will even take to try to take advantage of others.
But it is a learning process and you will all learn together, in time, the difference between a fair trade and an unfair one.

Another major change is that you can no longer get from nowhere materials, feed and treats. You now have to either produce them, or make a trade with a community member to get what you need.

All new beginnings tend to be difficult and confusing, but give it some time and you'll see that these changes will really improve the quality of the gameplay.
