Yay, I agree with all of these and am thankful for this thread :D Honestly there are so many things I am happy about.
The variety in encounter types between different venues and packs, it's just nice to change things up so much.
That the free item is given directly in the mole market itself! I like things being on less pages. Plus it makes Marvin just seem like a good dude, haha. Same with the flea market and buying/listing--makes it super easy to price check stuff before I list my own things without having to rearrange windows.
The free name changes and pronoun selection!
That I can have as many expecting parents as I have wolves without being limited by nest space.
Custom Apparel being line breaking just makes it so!!! awesome!!!
The Recent Topics window is fun. It really helps people asking questions get them answered quickly. While I would love one for recent replies, this is also so so nice.
Having light + dark mode already!
Activities. God does my brain love this. Even if I could technically do all these things without activities, if feeeels good because I am constantly directed and rewarded.
The weekly profession event changes! It's so nice for changing things up.
Honestly I could keep going on. There is just so, so much I am loving about this game. :D
