Art Gallery
Contests
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Chinese New Year and we received a plethora of celebratory entries!
Here are our featured winners:
They won:
Congratulations!
The current theme is Scribble/Doodle Pets*!
Think in the style of Rad Custom Crystals and some of our "scribble"/sketch/doodle pets. :) This should be a fun one!
As a starred (*) theme, you can also enter this one if you've won recently or plan on entering upcoming themes.
Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme.
Good luck!
Some new themes have also been added!
March 1st - March 7th: Skills
March 8th - March 15th: St. Patrick's Day*
March 16th - March 21st: Aywas Garage Bands
March 22nd - March 28th: Hybrid Hybrids
Remember, if you have an idea for an Art Gallery theme, please share it with us here! This thread in the Think Tank is always open, and I reference it frequently when creating new themes. :)

Slashbot Update
Site Update
We have a new "Site Character" account now in use: Slashbot (#3).
The dedicated Slashbot account will allow me to more easily communicate with Slashbot/slot holders, keep track of uses, and answer any questions in a timely fashion. I literally receive hundreds of messages a day during busy times, many of which are urgent and/or complex, so having a separate Slashbot inbox will ensure nothing gets buried.
When you send a message to #3, once it is received and read, you will get a confirmation reply. However, please understand that it will still take time for your idea to be discussed, approved, and ultimately implemented. As much as we would love to add things to the site instantly--from new pets to new features to events--the process is just not that quick, even just for normal site happenings.
If you already have a Slashbot/Handheld World-related PM pending with me on #17, please send a new message to Slashbot (#3) containing a link to your original PM(s) with me on #17.
For all new Slashbot/Handheld World-related messages, from now on please send them to Slashbot (#3).
In either of the above cases, when PMing the Slashbot account, try to use the following subject lines (when applicable):
- Slashbot Slot Sold
- Slashbot Slot Purchased
- Idea Approval [No Slot] (insert type of proposed use here, such as New Genus, Event, etc.). Use this if you have a Slashbot idea and want to make sure it's feasible before making a purchase.
- Idea Approval [Slot] (insert type of proposed use here, such as New Genus, Event, etc.). Go with this subject line if you have Slashbot slot ready to use but it still needs to be approved.
- Date Reservation (insert type of proposed use here, such as New Genus, Event, etc.). Please note that this line should only be used if you have a slot, your idea has been approved, and you are just waiting on having it implemented/scheduled.
- General Inquiry
This will be a huge help to me--er, the Slashbot--in sorting through messages.
Some changes will also be made to the Slashbot item itself on April 1st. Basically, I'll be turning it into an actual usable item so that I do not have to manually keep track of slots anymore. As you can imagine, that's not very fun (and I don't think it's fun for sellers and buyers either). Why April 1st? It's not a joke, honest. XD That's just the first day of the second quarter in the year, which best fits the regeneration schedule that the Slashbot has (90 days).
I am also hoping to have the Slashbot/Handheld World KB guide done by April 1st, but in the meantime you can send your questions to #3.
I'm looking forward to working with you on all of your great ideas!
(And thanks for bearing with me!)

Love Fest Finale!
Site Update
The annual Aywas 24-hour love fest finale has arrived!
(Lasting until February 22, 2015 at 11:59 p.m.)
If you need a little pick-me-up, the Adore-a-Gram Lunaris has one final Love Letter to give you today from the Advent Calendar!
Two items have been added to the Seasonal Shop for a 24-hour stock--Breedable Potions and Divorce Papers! (The Divorce Papers will return to the SP shop after this 24-hour period.)
The Engagement Rings have been added to the USD Shop. Due to their impact on the queue and associated costs, we could not release these for points this time around, but still wanted to make them available to you. Like the two items above, these are buyable for 24 hours.
Remember that we also have limited quantity stock items coming up, as well as raffles and giveaways that will be going on throughout the day. You can check out those details here!
Also, don't forget that the Love, Aywas thread is open until February 23rd at 11:59 p.m. So if you miss getting one of the shinies you want or aren't rolling in Love Letter points, you still have a shot at something nice. :3
Best of luck!

Valentine's Love Fest: Part II
Site Update
Welcome to Valentine's Day Love Fest: Part II!
If you're on the hunt for Love Letters in Adventure, you might've already come across a few newcomers!
There are 14 new love-themed pets for you to collect throughout various Adventure regions (these pets are available in all Ay locations). To ensure you have enough time to capture these critters, they will be available through the end of the month, February 28th at 11:59 p.m.
Also, don't forget about your chance at some shinies with the Love, Aywas thread!
The annual Aywas love fest finale will be officially kicking off tomorrow (February 22nd), but here's a little preview of what's happening!
- we will host a handful of raffles, drawing winners on the 23rd.
- 24-hour stock of a few items in the Seasonal Shop, including Breedable Potions.
- as is tradition each year, there will be limited stock of some other highly coveted items too.
Limited Item Stock
Please note that I will not tell you price amounts, but I will tell you what items will be available, how many, and when. Fair warning, they will be expensive.
Times are listed with 5-minute timespans to account for the fact that I manually stock all of these items and could run into some lag. Times all occur on February 22nd.
Tier I: Metal Makers -- Quantity: 3 each
Metallic Starlight Bottle: 6:30-6:35 a.m. AST
Metal Trinket Box: 12:30-12:35 p.m. AST
Metallic Vion Seed: 6:30-6:35 p.m. AST
Tier II: Babbies -- Quantity: 2 each
Lesser Breeding Talisman: 8:30-8:35 a.m. AST
Speedy Breeding Ticket: 2:30-2:35 p.m. AST
Breeding Talisman: 8:30-8:35 p.m. AST
Tier III: Rare -- Quantity: 1 each
Magic Custom Trove: 11:30-11:35 a.m. AST
Xaoc Elixir: 5:30-5:35 p.m. AST
Dragon Lotus: 11:30-11:35 p.m. AST
Additionally, I will be gifting random online donation prizes throughout the day and giving our donation box some much-needed love. <3
Remember to spend all of your Love Letter Points in the Seasonal Shop by 11:59 p.m. on February 22nd. While you are free to keep Love Letter items in your inventory for as long as you wish, we do clear Valentine Points after the event is over, so you want to make sure you spend those--otherwise the database will happily devour them. Nomnom!
We hope you continue to enjoy the last days of our love fest!
