Show your RPG adventurer on your page

yen.bio updates: owner can remove messages
- In the yen.bio updates chat, the site owner can delete anyone’s message (not just their own).
- better
Posts are Yaps now
- Feed posts are called Yaps — same feed, same people, just a clearer name.
- Composer, empty states, search, and profile tabs say Yap/Yaps instead of post/posts.

Rooms inside Spaces
- Spaces can have extra rooms (lounge, games, …) under the same membership — switch rooms from the tabs under the chat header.
- Owners and admins add or remove rooms in Space settings. Everyone in the Space can use every room; private groups stay single-chat.
- better
Play fits better on phones
- Raise a Momo and RPG live under their own Play group in the sidebar (and the phone menu).
- Pet care and look pickers have bigger tap targets; dashboard pages clear the home-bar safe area in the installed app.
- better
RPG: one-tap class, gear, rest, more quests
- Creating a character is one tap on a class (“play as mage”) — no separate select step. You start with class gear and a slime gel.
- Equip and unequip weapons/armor/charms (they change atk/def/spd/hp). Rest to full HP between fights, or use gels from your bag.
- Two harder quests (Ruin gate, Mire crossing). Fight buttons show your class skill name. Bigger tap targets on phones.
- Raise a Momo and RPG stay under the Play sidebar group.
- new
Party dungeons (2–5)
- In a Space or group chat, /dungeon [quest] opens a lobby for 2–5 adventurers. Everyone needs a character from Dashboard → RPG.
- Turns cycle by speed; clerics can mend allies. Survivors earn the quest’s XP, gold, and loot — flee or wipe and you get nothing.
- Bosses scale with party size. Rewards stay server-side (same catalog as solo).
- new
Solo RPG dungeons
- Dashboard → RPG lets you create a character (knight, mage, rogue, cleric, or ranger), pick quests, and fight turn-by-turn for XP, gold, and loot.
- Rewards are always decided on the server from the quest list — you can’t invent loot from the client.
- In chat, /rpg [quest] starts a solo dungeon; /dungeon [quest] is for parties.
- better
Mythic usernames need more than length
- Two-character usernames are no longer automatically Mythic — clean ones can still get there, but random or messy ones drop to Epic or Rare.
- Three-character names work the same way for Epic: quality matters, not just being short.
- new
Raise a Momo
- Dashboard → Raise a Momo lets you adopt a little sticker pet, name them, feed/play/pet, and dress them in basic looks.
- Happiness soft-caps while you’re away — it never crashes to zero. Care actions won’t double-count if you tap twice.
- Invite one friend to co-parent the same Momo (exactly two parents). Shared XP and care; the owner can remove a co-parent with a confirm step.
- Show your Momo on your public profile as a small sticker card. momo’s shop stays at Store → momo’s shop for coin cosmetics.
- new
Handle inventory, gifts and trades
- Dashboard → Inventory lists your main @ and every alias with its grade, an active marker on your public identity, and Make main.
- Gift an alias to another user by their @ (with a confirm step). Reserved names stay ineligible; listed or in-trade aliases stay locked.
- Propose a 1-for-1 alias trade — both of you confirm, the swap is atomic, and you can cancel or let it expire. The Market still works for paid sales.
- new
Send videos in chat
- Attach a short video (up to 2 minutes) in DMs and groups — it plays right in the message.
- Video in chat uses your Premium upload allowance, same as profile video backgrounds.
- better
Fullscreen 8-ball pool
- Expand the pool table over the whole screen for aiming and shooting — exit anytime and the game stays where it was.
- On phones, you’ll get a tip to turn sideways for a wider table.
- better
Fairer handle grades for real words
- Everyday English words (like morning or lightning) get an extra boost on top of ordinary dictionary recognition, and “Why this rank?” calls that out.
- Messy four- and five-character handles can drop to Uncommon instead of always staying Rare, so a clean longer word isn’t stuck below short junk.
- Market name stickers now use the real handle grade (Rare and up), not just “four letters or fewer.”
- new
Search and categories in Spaces
- Discover Spaces by name or description, and filter by categories like gaming, art, music, and chill.
- Space owners can set a Discover category in settings; staff can feature Spaces at the top of Discover.
- fixed
PayPal Premium on phones
- PayPal subscribe buttons show again on mobile for Premium — including on the Premium page and the public shop.
- Shop card tilts no longer hide the PayPal checkout on iPhone Safari.
- better
Invite-only Spaces and clearer settings
- Owners can set a Space to public (listed in Discover), invite-only (link only), or private encrypted group.
- Invite-only Spaces stay off Discover but anyone with the link can still join.
- Space settings are easier to scan: branding, visibility, invite link, description, and a member filter when the room gets big.
- new
Create your own Space
- From the Spaces tab, tap “create your own space,” name it, and you’re the owner of a new public room.
- It shows up in Discover so others can find and join it — invite link and settings are ready right away.
- new
Pin messages in Spaces
- Space owners and admins can pin up to five messages so announcements stay at the top of the chat.
- Tap a pin to jump to the original message; unpin anytime from the same menu.
- new
Spaces tab, wider chat, and /c clear
- Messages splits into Chats (DMs and private groups) and Spaces (public rooms), so Spaces aren’t mixed into your DM list.
- Chat messages stretch edge to edge again instead of sitting in a narrow middle column.
- Group owners and admins can clear spam with momo: /c 50 deletes the last 50 messages, or /c @name 50 clears that person’s recent messages.
- new
Spaces — find public rooms to hang in
- Browse Spaces from the dashboard sidebar: featured (verified), trending (biggest), recently active, and a simple “for you” list when friends are already inside.
- Join or open a Space from that page, or peek at featured ones from the compass in Messages — private groups never show up in Discover.
- Invite links at /group/… still work the same way.
- better
Only group owners can style and name groups
- Only the group owner can rename the group chat, or change its theme and background. Regular members and admins can no longer change them.
- fixed
Pool runs smoothly
- Shots roll out smoothly instead of lagging, and you always see where the balls go instead of them jumping to where they stopped.
- Letting go of the cue always shoots (or cancels), even if your finger slides off the bar, so it no longer gets stuck pulled back.
- Your shot starts rolling the instant you let go, with no pause while it reaches the server.
- better
Smarter handle rarity, with the reasons
- Handles are graded on a new scale: Legendary (one character), Mythic (two), Epic (three), Rare (four or five, or an exceptional longer handle), then Uncommon, Common and Basic.
- Length always comes first. After that, a real word, being easy to say, clean characters and striking patterns (like zzz or 123) count in a handle’s favor, while random strings, number tags and underscores count against it.
- Every handle card now has a "Why this rank?" section explaining the grade, plus a score breakdown you can open to see each factor’s points, the total and the thresholds for each tier.
- Handle and badge cards now open with a tap on phones, and stay open while you look at the breakdown.
- new
Handle cards
- Hover (or tap) the @handle on someone’s page to see how rare it is: one character is legendary, two epic, three rare, four uncommon. The card also shows when it was claimed, its UID and any other handles that forward to the page.
- Custom badges no longer show a "% of pages" line, since only their owner has them.
- After Dark can now show your @handle under your name. If you already use After Dark, the editor asks once whether you want it; new After Dark pages show it, and you can switch it under Freeform layout → Show @handle.
- better
Badge tooltips that tell the story
- Hover (or tap) a badge on someone’s page to see a proper card: the badge and its name, what it’s for, how rare it is, what kind of badge it is, when they earned it and how many pages have it.
- yen.bio’s own badges get their rarity from how many pages really have them, so the rarest ones show as legendary.
- fixed
Reactions and likes work again
- Reacting, liking, reposting, bookmarking and posting on the feed stopped working with "This action is temporarily unavailable". They work again, and a hiccup in that part of our system won’t take them down like that any more.
- better
Pool plays like the real thing
- Aim and power are now separate, like GamePigeon: drag anywhere on the table to swing the cue round the white (or tap a spot to point at it), then pull the cue under the table back and let go to shoot.
- You can hear it now: the cue strike, balls clacking (louder the harder they hit), cushion thuds and balls dropping into pockets.
- Balls visibly roll as they move, the cloth has a proper nap, potted balls roll into a tray under the table, and a "your shot!" pops up when it’s your go (with a little buzz on phones that support it).
