Premium Shop + New Native Backgrounds

For all those who have been inquiring about how to support the site and its development, we've finally finished the last preparations needed to release (drumroll please)... the premium shop! This real-currency shop will be for decorative items such as backgrounds and an upcoming item type called decor. We have no intention at this time of adding any items to the premium shop that would give an unfair advantage to anyone who can't afford them; this is purely for decoration to keep our site online!

Premium backgrounds have a golden frame around their new chipset-style item art, whereas free backgrounds available in the Background Emporium have a dark blue and natives/immigrants/other such specialty backgrounds are red-orange.

With this change, the four original Native regions (not the Ocean, which has fairly recent art) have new background art! The item backgrounds has been automatically changed over to some fresh new art, check it out! If it doesn't automatically update for you, give your browser a hard refresh so your cache clears.

Cleaned up versions of the old Native backgrounds are available for purchase at the premium shop and can be seen here:
