Castalia Library, SG, and Arkhaven subscribers should be informed that the Arkhaven store no longer accepts Paypal. There hasn’t been any denial of service or anything like that, but we just don’t make enough use of it to justify including it as a payment option. And whether they permit us to keep using it or not, we’re very aware that it’s not a service upon which we believe we can reasonably rely.
There are only a very small number of Library subscribers affected, and we’ll get in touch with all of them in the next two weeks to make sure they make a smooth transition without losing any books. This will have no effect on anyone’s access to SG or anywhere else; we will come up with a replacement sometime in the next month or two. With regards to Arkhaven, we’re looking very hard if continuing Arktoons in its present form makes any sense or not due to the fact that we presently have no devs working on it.
We haven’t made any decisions, but we always periodically look at whether resources spent on one project would be more wisely allocated somewhere else and since we’ve just shut down the ability to subscribe to Arktoons, this is the right time to do that.
