Mauri's away this weekend due to personal reasons so I'm filling in again!
Let's see, first up is Explore Pets!
Next week's bonus explore pets are the Vyne, Rogr and Lacer!
If you color one of the above species and have it accepted, you'll receive 10 GP per coloration accepted instead of the normal 3GP!
If you want to design some, go and post them in their respective threads here!
In order to finalize construction the the Little Pet Shop of Horrors pets have been removed for their safety!
A new supply of pets will be available once renovations are complete, so keep an eye out for those!

Welcome to July!
Site Update
July has arrived with some cool treats and hot weather pets!
Let's kick off the new month with a parade of 18 brand new monthly colors! :3
These 9 beautiful summer-loving pets can be found in the GP Shop:
And these 9 outdoor fun pros can be found in the BP Shop:
If you colored one of these stunning pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
You get the payment that corresponds to the contest you entered.
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or we'll have to hide your crayons.
Crafted from the finest rubies, this potion is the Essence of July 2012.
It will randomly change your active pet into one of the colors above and can be found in the GP Shop!
Floating down from the newly-turned July sky is our latest monthly Lunaris in the Chinese Zodiac collection--the Goat!
The premium monthly item for July is this adorable Kiddie Pool, which was designed with your parched pet in mind! It will refresh your pet by performing a full restore of Energy, Hunger, AU and HP--but that's not all! Not only does this item regenerate once a day, but you can use it on your pet while it's in or out of battle directly from your inventory. Enjoy!
July 2012 Hybrid Breeding Season is coming up!
It will be held from July 3rd - July 10th.
And because I'm awesome, here's a very helpful preview for one of the new creatures you'll be able to breed!
A new set of monthly contests has been posted!
August Monthly Pets - GP Shop
August Monthly Pets - BP Shop
August Monthly Customs - Olympic Games Theme
It seems that a new area of the Ara region has been discovered...
The Seaside!
The Seaside will be opening after Adventure is integrated into the system, which we are aiming to complete in a week!
Currently, Explore is the integrated system, and that's why many features and stats are still tied to it. In order to have Adventure work properly, we need to move ahead with phasing out Explore and replacing it with Adventure, which has been planned for well over a year. Instead of having two broken, competing systems, we are going to finally have one that we can incorporate all of our favorite features into and then go forward with really cool items and new games and features!
What else is coming this month?
Oh, that's right!
The hunt is running July 13 - July 20 2012.
Will you be ready?
aka, get lots of sleep now, while you still can. |:
Back I go to being a busy bee behind the scenes!

Advent Reminder!
Items
Don't forget to snag your Love Life Gift Bag from the Advent Calendar before the day is over!
Chianya also wanted me to give a little shout out Kaze (#989)'s thread, Love Your Life; Live Your Dream, as it is incredibly relevant to the current event. It's a feel-good read, fun to participate in, and has been around for a while. We should keep this spirit going strong all the time. :3

Item Fixes
Items
Yasu seems to have been able to resolve the issues with Egg Timers, so they have been enabled once more.
If you notice any problems with them, please contact me right away, thanks!
The regenerating problem with the Tsunami Potion has been fixed!
*wipes away tear of joy*
You might still need to contact me for a refund if you used your potion before the fix, but otherwise, you'll see that bad bottled wave popping up in your Newest Items every three months!
Back to Adventuring we go!

Love Life Seasonal Shop!
Site Update
Lorin looooves his job running the Seasonal Shop, so he's going to tell us about the new things he's stocking for Love Your Life Day!
... hmm, that's funny, he was right here a minute ago.
Oh well, I'll take over explaining until he gets back!
The seasonal shop is stocking special goodies for custom, pet and HA lovers alike!
It will be open through July 1st at 11:59 PM, so plan ahead to get all your treats! n_n
Introducing the Phoenix Feather!
This will let you upload a custom of our Phoenix friend with up to 30% edits, but you must use it by July 2nd at 11:59 PM. After that, you can create one via Silver Potion with permission from Chianya (#12264).
Click for the PSD. :)
You can put together an adorable, summery ensemble with the mix and match pieces in the human avatar collection! Lorin is stocking everything from wearables to holdables and even some scenery!
Here's some previews:
For our pet lovers, we have fifteen pets that either embody a fun, inspiring activity or are honoring life in memorial form. Here's a little preview of the pets you'll find in the shop:
The Love Life Potion will turn your active pet into one of these limited-edition pets! Yes, it is possible to get the hybrids and lunari from a quick swig of this bottle. :3
The I Heart U card is a friendly little item that you can send to another user. They will be greeted with a sweet notification telling them how much you mean to them, so stock up on 'em for rainy days when someone is feeling down, or just for when you want to make someone's day a little more special.
We've turned those rainbows you've been chasing into an animated fauna called The Rainbow. What a perfect "pet" for your colorful customs!
All day tomorrow, you will also be able to pick up this goodie bag from the Advent Calendar!
It contains a Love Life Potion, an I Heart U card, a collectable Life Ribbon not sold in the shop, and a little bit of BP. :)
We hope you're enjoying everything! Chianya put a lot into this event for you!
Remember, you can continue to find rainbows through June 30th at 11:59 PM. :3

PSD Call, Secret Surprise, Explore Pets, and Pet S
Pets
Putting a call out for ALL SITE PET .PSDS!
I'm looking at you site artists especially.
While we try to collect as many site pet .PSDs as we can, we have a small fraction of PSDs for the pets currently on site. If you're the original artist and didn't send in the .PSD yet, DO IT NOW please.
Send all site pet .PSDs to [email protected]
Please note this is not the same email as the breeding email. I do my best to forward over as many as I can so the artists have access to them but they need to be in aywas.pets first and foremost.
I just ask that you either name the .PSDs the pet name, or put the pet name in the email (especially if you want to send a zip folder) so we can search for it.
I sense change in the air! I wonder what this could be...
Well whatever it is, it might happen soon!
If you submit Aywas (not Ara) common species designs to the pet submissions forums this next week, something special may happen with them!
For now, here are this week's explore pets!
Next week's bonus explore pets are the Phanto, Reve, and Soli!
If you color one of the above species and have it accepted, you'll receive 10 GP per coloration accepted instead of the normal 3GP!
If you want to design some, go and post them in their respective threads here!
This is the last warning: The Little Pet Shop of Horrors pets will be leaving the shop come July. Please buy them soon if you want them!

Who says Aywas isn't all rainbows?
Site Update
RAINBOWS. *_*
These are account-locked points that you can find in Adventure! They'll be making the regions a little more colorful through June 30th at 11:59 PM. :)
I'm going to watch the numbers for a day or so and then toss some fun items into the Seasonal Shop. It's currently empty, but it'll track your rainbow point total for you.
Go snatch some rainbows!
