MAY BULLETIN
April showers bring May flowers…or so they say.
Community badge making event
For a while now, we've had a handful of badges available to be put on virusyte profiles. These include things like event badges, monthly prompt badges, trait/milestone badges, and more! This month, we're opening the gates for you guys to join in on badge creation! There will be two categories for this event: Universal and personal. Universal badges are more general and can be used by all/most sytes, while personal badges are catered to your own virusytes.
How this event works:
You are able to make an unlimited amount of personal badges! For each badge you make, you'll earn 50 bytes!
You will however be limited to one universal badge. These badges will be submitted for voting by the community, and the top 3 badges will be featured permanently on our official badge masterlist for public use! These badges can be anything non-event or prompt related, as long as they can be used by most virusytes!
- All badges must be around 200x200px
- They can be either pixel art, or regular art.
- Badges must follow virusytes TOS
You can submit your badges to this google form!
Monthly prompt
As the spring Season comes to an end, sometimes all you want to do is retreat to your corner of the internet…Draw or describe the place your virusyte retreats to after a long day! Feel free to use the template, or draw your own!
Rewards: 300 bytes, Limb duplicator
This months seasonal trait is a Limb Duplicator! This item allows your virusyte to have multiple limbs (note that this does not include legs)

Spring has Sprung! A new virusyte has hopped into the web, bringing fun rewards for all!
Easter egg websearch
A bouncy little virusyte has weaseled her way into the code, hiding Easter eggs all throughout the site! Can you find all of Matcha's hand-coded eggs?
Participating in the websearch can earn you tons of rewards, ranging from bytes, items, and even MYO slots! Finding all 8 eggs will grant you a raffle ticket to potentially earn a Rare MYO slot!
Littered throughout our TH are 8 different eggs that represent each of our mascots! It may be a bit tricky, but all eggs are accessible from one way or another in our world.
Please DO NOT give hints or share the location of the eggs with anyone else when you find them. This will ruin the spirit of the Web search.
When you've found an egg, submit a claim for your rewards on the google form > https://forms.gle/nZMd5ADHaqgehpiM6
This event ends April 27th! Find the eggs while you can! Good luck!

January Bulletin
Virusyte Takeover
Happy new year! Thanks for an amazing year-- here's to many more! This year we are celebrating new beginnings, both for old and new users!
NEW LORE + SUBSPECIES
In their efforts to save their species, humans have been working towards creating an anti-virus software that can defeat the alien threat. While they haven't been able to eradicate virusytes, they are able to quell new ones that have not captured a host. When a virusyte consumes data infected with this antivirus, they are rendered useless, as their corrupt eye detaches and their parasite's eye is permanently closed. Dubbed Purisytes, these virusytes are forced to wander the digital universe being unable to capture a host.
Viruses also have their faults (according to their alien creators): emotions. These make virusytes weak and susceptible to emotions like attachment, grief, and laziness. When a virusyte is not or chooses not to do their job, the aliens send in Termytes. These are virusytes devoid of personality and emotion (for the most part). Their goal is to correct the virusytes behavior and eliminate them if possible. They cannot capture humans like virusytes, and instead are built with weapon detachments to 'correct' their behavior.
Want to learn more? Check out our newly updated trait guide!
Want to learn about the world virusytes exist in? Check out a few of the spaces in the locations tab that exist in the digital universe!
FTO MYO EVENT
This month, we're hosting a First time owner MYO event for new users in our community! For anyone who has never owned an myo slot, you can grab one over at the thread here > FTO MYO EVENT
JANUARY AUCTION
Happy New year! In 1999, they weren't sure if their computers were able to take the change to the year 2000. Now, the fear is just the same….will virusytes crash the new years party?
Check out the official auction by co-owner RogueIdea!
MONTHLY PROMPT
Every Virusyte needs a host to grow stronger…design or write about your virusytes host! Have they already captured them, or are they plotting to?
This month there will be no new seasonal trait. However, completing this month's monthly prompt will earn you an item to create a Purisyte or Termyte! Pair these items with any MYO rarity and you can create one of our subspecies.
See more and submit your piece here!
Anti-virus software (purisyte) | Exterminator program (termyte) |
