VETERAN PETS FOR EVERYONE AND HEROIC SET FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Hello Habiticans, Thank you for being a part of our journey and community over the years. It means a lot to us!

TAVERN AND GUILD SERVICE TERMINATION
Hello Habiticans. We are making the difficult decision to discontinue Tavern and Guild services on August 8, 2023.
Habitica’s primary purpose is and has always been to provide a gamified task management experience. Tavern and Guilds provided wonderful supportive spaces for players, but over the years the use of these spaces has declined sharply and the resources needed to maintain them has become too disproportionate to the number of players participating in them.
This will allow us to better focus our resources on the parts of Habitica players rely on most.
Please note Parties and Group Plan features are unaffected by this change and will continue as usual.
To celebrate the times we’ve had, we will be gifting everyone a Veteran Pet as we move forward into this new era. For our amazing contributors, we’ll also be sending out a special gear set to commemorate all their hard work in Habitica’s communities. These items will be added to accounts when the chats close.
We have set up a Tavern and Guild Service Discontinuation FAQ where you can find answers to your questions and learn more about this transition.
Thank you all so much for being a part of Habitica’s social spaces! If you have any questions that aren't covered in the linked FAQ feel free to reach out to admin@habitica.com.
