Site Update
We've spruced up the Holiday Tree a bit!
When you choose "Gift Items," you now have the option of sending BP/GP and selecting a specific quantity of a particular item. So, if someone has Apple Coconuts on their wishlist and you just so happened to have 50 to pelt them with, now you can magically stuff them all in one box!
We will also be trying to add a button so that you can see what you've sent, so stay tuned!
As always, please let us know if you run into any problems with this. :3 Have fun!

Wheee things!
Site Update
Our random potion collection has expanded!
In case you haven't noticed, pet profiles now display Adventure statistics.
And if you watch the Welcome Back page and Suggestions forum, you know we're going to be adding some pretty sweet Adventure items soon.
If you've sent anyone money lately, then I'm sure you've seen the handy new option Yasu added to the Bank.
(Psst, now you can tell people why you're sending them dough!)
I'm hoping to bombard you guys with some fixes, implemented suggestions, and more holiday pets this weekend. :3

This is simply a pretty collectable item, and I am jealous of everyone who will be owning one. XD
Mysterious Pet Potion - Disappearing Ink
As one of our more unique pet potions, this one will change your active pet into a random coloration that you are missing! Pretty neat, huh?

I'm loving this set. It comes with ten versatile pieces that can be seen on the following preview:
The set includes: Hat, Cardigan, Shirt, Pants, Slippers, Glasses, Lantern, Stack (of paper), holdable Paper, and a holdable Pen.

By using the Manuscript item from your inventory, you will unlock an achievement and forum title that says:

The Return of Holiday Lane!
Site Update
I just received the weather report for the rest of December. The forecast?
Snowy!
The Holiday Lane is open for a month of snow, candy canes, merriment and even some festive monsters!
In addition to classic candies and foodie favorites, you will also come across the following items:
Snowball - r10 - stock up on these to keep your snowfort well-supplied! (read: throw these at your friends.) These will not be used in the Seasonal Shop.
Snowflake - r30 - these pretty snowflakes will be used in the Seasonal Shop as currency for some small items, but you will also be able to exchange them for Candy Canes.
Candy Cane - r70 - these will be the main currency in the Seasonal Shop, so try not to eat them! Guilt will surely follow if you do.
And, as always, we have a couple sleigh fulls of new holiday pets for you to capture!
More pets will emerge as the 25th gets closer!
Want to contribute to our holiday pet explosions?
Then stop in for some holiday cheer and hot cocoa at the Holiday Pet Submissions thread. If you're looking for a way to make a bit of extra money to fund your Aywas gifting spree, check it out!
Santa is making Candy Cane Custom Crystals and Orbs available in the Holiday Lane, but ONLY for a 24-hour period. Day is TBD. They will also be available in the upcoming Seasonal Shop, so get Adventurin'!
As always, we will be tweaking item/pet values as necessary, and because it's the holidays, we most definitely have some surprises in store for you. *wink*
We interrupt this winter wonderland bulletin to bring you a weather-related advisory!
Eri's inbox is snowed under, so there will be some messaging delays.
If you have an urgent request, please, please contact a moderator. Otherwise, I will try to have everything shoveled this weekend!
Also, try not to faint when you see the Holiday Lane site background, because it's pretty flippin' sweet (that, and someone will steal your Candy Canes while you're passed out).
Enjoy the snow!
