Feel free to link this in chat if you see anyone who is confused or needs an explanation of what's happening! I don't mind <3

So, your w o l v e s have new gear? Your avatar is a meme? Your p r e y has turned into something new? You've been pranked (by the game / Eve)! I see a lot of players thinking they've been hacked every year, so I made this guide to help them.

Changes
.
Usually, avatars, p r e y, w o l f gear, certain words, and w o l f backgrounds have been affected by the prank.
Here's what I know so far:
.
Avatars:
This is usually what concerns people the most, since it's the first thing most people notice when they log on. Your avatar is a meme. Actually, it's more if you refresh chat / the page a few times. You won't have to reset it tomorrow.
This year, we don't have avatar changes.
.
P r e y:
Your p r e y has changed, too! Here's a list:
Squirrels - ?
Rabbits - ?
Deer - ?
Pheasants - ?
Elk - ?
.
Gear:
Your w o l f has different gear? Don’t worry, it's regular gear is still there. It's just hidden for now and will reappear tomorrow. You won't have to reset this. For those of you that like the gear, I'm pretty sure it's not in Barter, but it might be added tomorrow or sometime in the near future. P u p s don't have gear, even in different poses. W o l v e s that are 2 years old don't have it, either.
This year, each pack's w o l v e s have mustaches! However, they do not have decor.
.
Backgrounds:
Your w o l v e s may have different backgrounds today, too. The background currently isn't available anywhere on site, but like the gear it might be later on. As of right now though, it isn't. Your w o l v e s will have their normal backgrounds and gear again tomorrow. You don't have to reset them.
No background changes this year.
.
