Rumors have been spreading about a large, ancient, powerful mystic hourglass that can transport you nearly anywhere... Where will you go if you use it? (A user style for Habitica that allows users to "go back" to events that may not be currently happening in order to experience some aspects of them again.)
A Habitica user style that allows users to "go back" to events (such as seasons, holidays, world bosses, or April Fools' pranks) that may not be currently happening in order to experience some visual aspects of them again. This style changes almost no aspects of actual site layouts and functions, and it does not bring back any old behaviors (i.e. you cannot fight historical world bosses as they are just there for looks, the seasonal shop doesn't magically open/close by going to the right option, etc.). More information and usage instructions for the myriad of settable options in this style is available at https://habitica.fandom.com/wiki/Habitica_Time_Machine
License has symbolically changed to a more restrictive one because I no longer give my blessing for forks of this style. Thank you.
Effective 2023-06-23:
This style is now completely abandoned but has been left up for people to enjoy until such time that it may no longer work.
On May 31, 2023, Habitica staff banned my account for speaking critically of staff behavior somewhere that other Habitica users could see me say it (you can see context here, including the firm-but-civil post I made and how quickly they acted against it). I was very sure that that was a likely outcome of being openly critical, so I had prepared in the case that I did lose access to the account (I had been planning to leave either way).
One little petty thing I did before that moment to keep in my back pocket was to code updates to this style that add the missing years/features for April Fools pranks up to 2023 (things previously left out after talking with staff about it because after the prank they were changed to be connected to things like magic potions and subscription reward items).
I had not planned to actually update the style with these changes unless something went very wrong... but I have been trying for about three weeks to get responses to two semi-important questions I had emailed staff about--one was a question related to my ban (something only staff could answer), using the contact instructions the site's very ban message tells users to use, and one was an older question I had asked prior to my ban regarding something I had suggested (a guild title to someone else's guild) that I couldn't change myself but was no longer comfortable having in use (and which I could not verify had been changed after my ban due to the lack of access to the site--I have at this point received information from someone who could access said guild that the title did change, so at least I have an answer to one question).
I think three weeks with no email reply indicates that staff refuses to extend the hand of civility and good faith interaction. Given that, I've decided it's time to fully burn the bridge and publish the "petty update". Enjoy the full featured version of this style. Although this update changes the support URL to one I can actually, you know, access... due to my lack of ability to use Habitica's site at all, I have no ability to triage and fix any bugs that may currently exist or could pop up in the future. Please feel free to use it until such a time that changes to the site could cause it to break or stop working.
Thank you for everything.
