Goto News Post

Do I smell Explore pets?
Ew wait, no.
That is the smell of mushrooms!

Wibbits seem to have snuck into this batch instead of our expected Solis!

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!



And wait!
We have one more announcement for you.

The Easter Shop closes tonight at 11:59 PM Aywas Time. Get all the items/pets that you want before it closes! Don't forget!

Expedition Update

Site Update

Goto News Post

merchant.png

"Our expedition in the Arctic is winding down. You only have a few hours left to collect the T-Rex bones! But for the extra dedicated paleontologists out there, you'll probably be able to find the other gatherables (including Jurassic Essences and Expedition Kits) for a couple more days."

To be clear, the T-Rex bones will be removed from the Arctic sometime after 11:59 PM tonight.
We'll keep the Jurassic Essences, Expedition Kits and souvenir collectables in the region through May 7th at 11:59 PM as a little bonus. :3
Remember, though, you have to use your Unknown Bones by 11:59 PM on May 7th as well! After that, it will become a collectable.

We have one more surprise for you, but that will be revealed at the end. :)

Riddle

Contests

Goto News Post

Some of us are blue and white,
Yet others are bright green,
Others cloaked in mystery,
But of us, seventeen.
Here since the world begun,
We have always watched.
My father with four shiny hooves
And my mother, she had none.


Solve the riddle, then put the answer where it says ANSWER below.

https://www.aywas.com/ucp/prize_code/ANSWER/

Feel free to state if you guess, but don't give out the answer.

Made of emeralds and gold, this is the Essence of May 2012.
It will randomly change your active pets into one of the colors above!

In case you missed the announcement, your premium monthly item is the Travel Pack, which seems to be popular. :)
You can read all about the goodies it contains here.

A new month means new contests!

June Monthly Pets - GP Shop

June Monthly Pets - BP Shop

June Monthly Customs - Amusement Parks
Your goal is to design a pet that exemplifies the theme of amusement park summer fun--Rollercoasters, water rides, rigged games and cotton candy!

Here's some other things we have going on this month!

collectable_lunarisgiftbag.png

Themed Pet Days
Lunaris Day and Paleo Day are both this month!
Our poor Vion feels a little neglected since I forgot his birthday, so we'll be combining Vion Day with Lunaris Day. (I asked the Lunarises, they're cool with it.)

collectable_slashbot.gif

Slashbot Days
We're currently in the Jurassic period!
After that, we have a couple mysterious low-key themed days planned.

The reason why we've had a lot of Slashbot events lately is because many of these have been booked since last year or had to be squeezed in due to surprise circumstances. After May, we'll be returning to the schedule of a maximum of one Slashbot event per month, excluding busy months like October and December.

I will also be making a general announcement about Slashbots in the near future to help them be used to their full potential. :)

Spring Cleaning
There are a lot of old contests that need to be taken care of, rewards and pets that need handing out, and dusty pages that need updating.

For the next two months we will really be focusing on knocking all of these things out. Our staff has already been hard at work doing everything from sprucing up item descriptions by making them more informative and clear to fixing up tutorials and tackling things that need to be judged. A lot of this is background work that you don't see day to day, but we're hoping that our efforts will be visible soon.

We're also dividing up more staff tasks to make things more efficient for everyone and we will be putting out the call for new moderators shortly! If you love Aywas and helping people is a passion for you, keep an eye out!

Silver Pets & Pet Colorists
Look forward to the results from the applications you sent in soon!
I'll make an announcement when the SCC page is updated.

Server Move
Slash is the head of the sledteam on this one. We know we have a server move coming up soon, so we'll be playing some things by ear and shuffle around dates if need be. From what I understand, there will be some downtime, but we will be given plenty of warning and instruction. :)

Thanks for hanging in there with us!

(Lunaris and the free custom game still to come!)
