Changes

• Fair Play: Starting March 20, 2026, alt accounts will be restricted if they are used to gain an economic advantage for another account. This is intended to ensure fair play for everyone with only one account. Accounts that are not used to gain an economic advantage (e.g., for a second pet) are not affected.

• Pets: The logic for pet well-being has been adjusted. Pets now lose 3 points of well-being per day (instead of 2). If a pet is sick, it will lose 1 point of well-being every 4 hours until it is healed. (Previously, well-being was lost immediately.) If a pet is dirty for more than 5 hours, it will become sick. Well-being is no longer lost due to being dirty, but only due to being sick.

• User Settings: A new notification is now available for when someone else pats your pet.

• Bewitch: When a random user is bewitched, they are no longer selected completely at random. Instead, the system always selects a user who has been active within the last 7 days.

• Connect 4: The time has finally come. You can now play Connect 4 using the /connect4 command. The stake is 4 cookies. Thanks to Seelia for the artwork and to Tezza for testing :)

• Optimization: Cookie has been running a bit slower lately and even crashed completely a month ago. Thanks to a lot of work behind the scenes, the bot should now be significantly faster and shouldn’t crash for that reason anymore. However, especially during this transition period, there may still be a few minor bugs. If you notice anything, please let me know.

Bug Fixes

• Notifications / Reminders: Users who use Cookie King only as a User App (no shared servers) now also receive notifications and reminders.

• Well-being: Pets that still had more well-being from the previous favorite month than is allowed in the current month will now gradually lose this (regular well-being decrease of 3 per day). Previously, the regular decrease for these pets was incorrectly suspended entirely for those pets.

• Fetch: In some cases, double XP was awarded during the automatic Fetch recall at night. This has now been fixed.

• Shop: If a user selects Wizard as their first class, the correct confirmation message is now displayed again.

• Pets: In some pet commands (park, pet, buy pet, etc.), the correct species name was not displayed.
