Another Spooky Night!
Site Update
Congratulations!
(And I trust you're loving this background.)
I assume Halloween Pumpkins and Melo Pumpkins are showing up in decent amounts for you? :3
If you think you're pumpkin-crazy now, just wait until you visit the Pumpkin Patch!
Now you can fill your favorite pumpkins up with candy, BP/GP, pets, a fun Halloween message, or anything else (appropriate) that you can think of! The instructions are simple: deposit a pumpkin in order to collect a pumpkin; you can collect one every ten minutes.
In case the spirit of Halloween tempts you to be an evil trickster, despite the pumpkins being anonymous, Yasu and I can track every single action in the patch. Don't get any harebrained ideas.
Speaking of the Pumpkin Patch, I've invited the Hocus-Pocus Tavi to travel from its humble, orange abode to this news post to let you all in on a little secret.
It appears that from the magic of Halloween and the power of Aywas' birthday, a new item has been forged that has the power to summon retired lines from limbo!
Introducing: Antiquity Staves, a line of retired Raw pet custom-creators!
--- 
--- 
--- 
Like their Raw Crystal counterparts, the Antiquity Staves come in Metal, Blue and Gold flavors.
The best part? They work indefinitely and on all retired raw genuses.
But of course there's a teensy weensy catch--the staves will only go on sale once a year.
In honor of their debut, all three Antiquity Staves will be on sale in the GP Shop from now until October 7th at 11:59 PM. After that, they will only be available in May of each year for approximately three days (exact dates and duration TBD). You will also see the Staves make an appearance as contest prizes and maybe rotate into the SP shop in limited numbers. This keeps Raw pets and the staves themselves obtainable but valuable.
And now for a couple quick reminders!
If you want a shot at an icon by Cat (#3833) like what you see above, make sure you post here within the next four hours or so! (By 11:59 PM tonight!)
Have you had your daily dose of Famine today?
More Halloween-related goodies still to come!

Welcome to OCTOBER!
Site Update
Welcome to October--the greatest month on Aywas!
You've been celebrating with streamers, gushing about your favorite site memories and ducking Famine's gaze already, but the fun is just beginning! Mwuahahaha.
Let's kick off with a spook-tacular parade of new monthly pets and goodies!
From a festive rodent to a squishy teddy bear and the monster its trying to comfort you from, we've got 9 awesome pets waiting to come home with you in the GP Shop!
But wait! Leave room in your trick-or-treat bag for the 9 adorable pets hanging out in the BP Shop! Cheesecake and candy lovers to dog and flower fans will find something for their lair here!
If you colored one of these stunning pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will torture your crayons.
Note: If you entered a pet in the BP/GP shop contests and it did NOT get accepted, please PM me if you would be willing to let me use it for our features this month. :)
Feel like taking a gamble? Then you might be interested in this gorgeous, opalescent potion--the Essence of October 2012! Like all our monthly potions, it will change your pet into one of the colorations above. This might be the safest thing you'll feed your poor pet all month.
Do you share a birthday with Aywas? Look who's here just in time for your special day!
The Dog Lunaris is the newest in our Chinese Zodiac collection and will be a loyal companion to those with October birthdays.
If you found the birthday clothes to be a little revealing and chilly, then you might be interested in the Premium Item for this month--the acorn-shaped Autumn Wardrobe!
The wardrobe opens into 10 fall-themed items! Not all of them are pictured above, but that gives you an idea of the style. :3
Normally I'd update this section with contests for November, but lets indulge in October and Aywas' birthday for a day, shall we? I know this brand new Alternate Slith has been enjoying himself!
New pets, new items, new alt hybrid lines, on top of birthday cake, Famine's return and an impending battle between Ay and Ara?! What else could you guys want?
... how about a Spooky Forest?
We will be filling the forest with new creepy, pretty, Halloween pets throughout the month, so ration your Aynip and Nets appropriately! And don't let Famine near your energy food supply.
The Spooky Forest is filled with 10 brand new collectables that will be used in a special Museum Collection AND in other upcoming features, so hang onto 'em!
Oh, and these guys?
Yeah, they're making a comeback. :3
If you're newer to the Aywas Halloween scene, the above items will be used as exchange currency in our Seasonal Shop that will open at the end of the month. You should be able to find them in the Spooky Forest, but it won't be a pumpkin cakewalk!
Don't worry, Yasu and I will be watching values and tweaking things as necessary to make sure things are showing up.
We've got your back this Halloween. 8D
I have plenty of other things to announce, but you'll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out what they are.
If you can last through the night in the forest...
IT'S OCTOBER, LET'S DO THIS.

Happy Birthday, Aywas!
Site Update
As of today, Aywas is officially 3 years old!
(I hope you picked up all your birthday gear!)
Three years ago, Ay started out as a small place with grand ideas and an even bigger heart.
Ride after ride on the crazy rollercoaster that only a petsite can deliver, from rollbacks and mishaps to new features and an incredible community, Ay's core has never wavered.
We're a little bit bigger now, but Aywas still feels like home.
Our creative eyes are still larger than our coding stomach, but we can't wait to show you what's next.
And, most importantly, the generous, kind spirit of the community continues to inspire us.
To each and every one of you, whether you've been here from the beginning, found us yesterday, or anywhere in between, thank you for being a part of the Aywas story. Here's to many, many more years and chapters to come!
We all share in this celebration, so come wish Aywas a Happy Birthday and tell us about a favorite memory or what you're looking forward to.
And of course I have a present for you! :D
In honor of the momentous occasion, one of our SCC artists, Cat (#3833), is doing 10 icons like this for 10 lucky people!
If you would like to have a shot at having her doodle your character, comment on this news post with some sort of reference! She will then choose ten characters to draw. :3
You have until October 2nd at 11:59 PM to enter. Good luck!
I have a lot more birthday and Halloween news coming up, so stay tuned!
Thanks for making the last three years awesome. <3
Happy Birthday, Aywas!

October's Advent
Items
Something dark--a familiar figure--appeared through the parting mist.
"The wicked hours are almost upon us," Famine snorted.
"Don't forget to visit me every day in October..."
As quick as the sickly horse came, it disappeared.
The Unus would let them enjoy the birthday festivities--at least for now.

Happy (early) Birthday!
Site Update
To help you get ready for the big day (which is tomorrow, I hope you got Aywas a present!!), we're starting the celebrations a little early. But really, is it ever too early to party?
Get in the birthday spirit by dressing up your HA in proper attire!
We've turned the BP Shop into your one-stop party shop for Aywas' birthday! There are ten new HA items for you to collect:
You can pick these items up from now until Saturday October 6th at 11:59 PM!
Xero has also added 6 birthday-themed pets to his pet shop!
Sweeten up your lair with one (or six) of these cuties:
.. that Soli looks a little dangerous.
But all six of these pets will be available through Saturday October 6th at 11:59 PM!
The clothes and pets should put you in the birthday mood, but I have one last pre-game surprise for you...
Will you be part of Team Ay or Team Ara?
Set your allegiance!
But beware, once you choose a team, you cannot undo this decision!
(You have until Friday October 5th to decide on a team before the activity begins.)
Tomorrow's October festivities and birthday celebrations will officially kick off in the evening, so get ready for a great month!
