Our Pet Submissions Forum Monthly Raffle has been drawn!
Congratulations to Pony (#28386) for winning a Bronze Custom Crystal!
A few things came up that caused me to miss the Adventure pet release 2 weeks ago, but never fear! They are more than ready to be released now. Sorry for the delay and I hope you like your new catchable friends!
There's a really strong sent of freshly blooming flowers in the air...
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! Remember, you can earn SP and/or even a custom making item for one of these alt-Orimi!

Welcome to March!
Site Update
Welcome to March!
It's time to kick off a brand new month with fresh pets and goodies to spruce up your collections!
Look at all the GP Shop pets ready to spring into your lair!
With a slew of BP Shop pets bounding in right behind them!
If you colored one of these lovely pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. :3 However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-March) so we have time to snag 'em!
Ring in a new month with our musical Essence of March 2014!
This music note bottle (inspired by "Music in Our Schools Month") will turn your active pet into one of the March monthlies shown above.
The Premium Monthly Item is the Pastel Clouds Background, an item that unlocks a sky site theme and helps you get lost in your daydreams!
(Please note that you can collect the item, but it has to be activated. I'll let you know as soon as it's usable, which should be by the end of the weekend. :3)
Our March birthday Lunaris isn't quite ready to bloom, but I will let you know as soon as it is!
(And we'll handle any necessary swaps/refunds for you asap.)
In April, we will be starting a brand new birthday Lunaris series theme, and all twelve colorations for that set are already complete, so there will be no fashionably late felines!
The new monthly contests have been announced!
April Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
April Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
April Monthly Customs
Theme: Hair
Good luck with your entries!
The Nova custom makers are now available in the Premium Outlet! Both items will remain in the premium shop for the entire month of March, then will return to the GP/BP Shops for April and May, before cycling back into the premium store for June.

A monthly update from behind the scenes!
We're busy bees behind the screen and are continuing priorities outlined in February, but here's some highlights for this month:
- BumblB is working on breeding system enhancements to help streamline PBC.
- Yasu is persistently working on the forum recode.
- Tiff/Shadow Files is making some outstanding changes to the Silver Database on both staff and user sides. You can track the project here!
You'll also be seeing a lot of updates from me this month, as I just completed two grueling months of work for my offline job and will be back to my normal schedule for March and beyond!
Let's have a lucky month!

March Monthlies
Site Update
This isn't the big March news post, but it's still fairly big and important! All the rotating items have switched bases.
The user suggested Painted Metal Breeding Coin has debuted in the USD Shop. This coin allows you to breed two same-edited pets together with a new color theme and markings for the offspring.
The coin is released on a probationary period. On April 1, we will evaluate if we want to continue making this coin available. Please read the Knowledge Base article before submitting.
Artists may apply for this coin here: hiring PMBC artists.

Is anyone else feeling a little sleepy?
Comics
Hmm, maybe it has to do with this little guy, Dafad... I wonder what he's doing here?
It seems Viridian (#597) has the answer!
'Dafad' is the Welsh for 'Sheep', and this little guy is here to celebrate 'St. Davids Day' with your HA. St. David (or Dewi Sant in Welsh) is the patron saint of Wales and is celebrated on March 1st every year in our country. To celebrate, we usually dress our children (and some adults) across the nation in our national costume while the rest of us wear daffodils, leeks or various forms of the Welsh Dragon (three of our national emblems) in recognition of the day. Confused about why 'Dafad' has been used? Sheep are our 'unofficial' national emblem too!
Viridian has asked I pop this in Trash For Treasure for St. David's Day. It will cost you 15 Trash Points, and will be available from 00:01am AST until 11:59pm AST on the 1st March.
