Do not buy into Reviken Species

Reviken are under a new owner, who is changing the TOS and forcing you to accept new rules that were not in place previously. You are not under obligation to follow these new rules, nor are you obligated to relinquish your character at the behest of this shady person. These are designs you paid for, you shouldn't be forced to give them up.

All excerpts are from anonymous sources:

"You have to own the species for 1 year before you can trade/resell them and they downgraded the rarities on some of the already existing designs and some of them with now illegal traits that weren't before have to be traded in for a myo"

updated TOS - was deleted on 4/19

"
Woah, wtf???? If I'm reading this correctly, people re being forced to exchange their own characters and having to make new ones.... with the threat of banning people from events? What the hell? You can keep people from using those features in the future, but you can't go off and tell people that they have to give up their rightfully owned characters. That's utter bullshit. This isn't about "respecting decisions", it's just wrong."

"
even worse with the reviken drama, they specify that the new one you make with the MYO slot that youre forced to trade your reviken for, its not allowed to look like the old design. theyre completely forcing people to give up designs that could mean a lot to them, they couldve been attached to, etc, and not even letting them recreate them with an acceptable rarity."

"I've given users ample opportunity for them to agree to give me their characters for free with threat of banning from group events if they don't so everything's fine now!" what the actual fuck dude. I really hope people are gonna stay light-years away from this species if THIS is how the owner's gonna handle shit" - Proof of this statement has been hidden on group journal.

"
You don't get to revoke people's characters just because you feel like it. Can we actually make an effort to tell that CS owner how wrong that is, or at least avoid them? Because this is ridiculous holy shit"

"So the original owner can change the species but only use the basic design without the traits and the species owner is going to keep and use the reviken? Well now I know someone to avoid. Will not do business with such a shady character."

"Yikes! That #4 reviken - "I, as the species owner, reserve the right to alter and reuse the Reviken design shown as a reference to the Galactic-type of the Reviken species - itself - as an NPC. " They basically forced (redacted) to have a twin and stole (redacted) character to keep for themselves, just because your a species owner doesn't mean you can steal something you gave away rights to, hell they never even had rights over that reviken to begin with, Magrunemoon sounds really fishy"
EDIT: 4/19 User (redacted) resolved issue with current owner over any potential reuse
of design/characters as NPCs. Unsure if this is only for these characters or if the rules
still apply to the rest, will update if more information is found.


"This mag person is basically Burningwhite 2.0 with those rules and ToS, ew - avoiding this cs like the plague, someone should maybe tell them but you'll probably get banned from the species and your comments or notes hidden and deleted"

"Some of you may have noticed I commented on the reviken TOS magrunemoon made, they didn't just hide my comments, they blocked me as well so I can't further information them how illegal that revoking crap is. Honestly wish Alunaa still owned them I never got into the species myself but I had to stand up for the people being abused by them. For the Anon who said they got screencaps feel free to do so!"


This is not ok, and this should not be tolerated. A new owner shouldn't instill fear about whether or
not you still own your own characters. You shouldn't be forced to change a design you paid for.


These rules run rampant over any species they own. This is another snippet of the
rules they have for their other species - Keltukai.

I think this is total irony considering they do not respect anyones rights to their designs of their species.

I'm not advocating harassment on the owner, this whole journal is to bring about a public awareness
that if you join these groups you know what kind of issues you're setting yourself up for. 

Relevant links in case they are removed.

If further information/screen caps are provided, this journal will be updated.
