Release date	Update	Changes
October 10, 2026	Happy Halloween! (Seasonal Event)	Fixed the blank Ball Pit page on Hardcore and Seasonal profiles so players can use their Mystical Balls.
October 5, 2026	v2026.10.05.2	Also a full page in the same menu area as Factions, Market, and Prestige Redesigned to better fit as a gameplay page rather than a popup modal
August 17, 2026	v2026.08.17.2	Hardcore Mystical Ball broadcasts now say whether the roll was a profit or a loss compared to the 250M BC cost of the item.
August 10, 2026	v2026.08.10	On hardcore profiles, every Mystical Balls roll is broadcasted with its colour (these are live-only and do not fill chat history), and are now visible in player logs.
July 30, 2026	v2026.07.30.2	Main and Ironman players now play in separate Ball Pits. Your Balls only compete against players of your own profile type, and each pool’s prize is only ever won by someone in that pool. Hardcore and Seasonal players can now use Mystical Balls: rubbing one rolls a Ball Pit colour and instantly pays out BC scaled to that colour (rarer colours pay much more).
June 4, 2026	v2026.06.04	The Ball Pit menu now shows how many Mystical Balls you own and a compact “Use” button so you can spend one without leaving the menu. After a Ball Pit draw finishes and the winner is broadcast, players can now buy balls immediately. Previously some players saw the error "Pit was drawn recently!" for a few seconds after the announcement; that no longer happens.
May 27, 2026	v2026.05.27	If you use /ballpit/buy and ask for more balls than the pit can hold, the command will now buy as many as fit instead of erroring. No more failed buys when you overshoot, it just fills the pit.
April 5, 2026	v2026.04.05	The global ball pit broadcast now shows the winner’s ball count and what percentage of the pot they won – so you can immediately see how big the win was. There’s a second line in the broadcast that tells you the next ball pit’s balls-per-user limit and type.
March 23, 2026	v2026.03.23	Added “the” to ball pit winner messages so logs read more naturally (Shadybliss, Krisibelle)
