Site Update
We are happy to announce the winner to the Trashland Background Contest... Synthaphone (#15786), with their gorgeous rendition of Castaway Canyon!
Castaway Canyon is now in the process of being created into an adventure area. As soon as we have a new batch of items from our item artist, as well as our contest items, pets, and monsters all chosen, we'll be releasing the new world to you. What excitement!
We have a cute little melo sitting in the Cash Auctions! If you are interested in bidding on this melo the link to the auction is here.
This melo is a result of a bug where an incorrect/unselected GCC artist was able to claim a GCC ticket. If you were affected by this bug, please contact me (#15). The unwanted design will be auctioned in this fashion and you will be refunded your original ticket.
The Escrow Commission Panel Update has gone live!
The "Escrow" feature on the Commission Panel allows players to conduct three way trades, between an artist, USD buyer, and a GP buyer. Imagine a scenario where a GP buyer has GP or items and wants to commission an artist. They find a player with USD (the USD buyer) who is willing to pay for the artist's commission in return for the GP Buyer's items or GP. These two players can conduct a transaction with an artist through the Commission Panel.
You can read about the Escrow Feature here. To begin an escrow, you (the USD buyer) simply enter the ID of the player who will be paying you GP/items when submitting a commission request to an artist.
A new forum has opened for those seeking or offering escrows in the Trading Post section. Please be sure to use the [SEEKING USD] and [OFFERING USD] headers so your fellow players can quickly determine what your thread is about.
A new item, the Metal Takeout Box, has been added to the GP Shop for 25 GP. If you have ever wanted a metal (no edits) Faux or Snoodle, then this item is for you!
The SCC feature is completed, tested, and ready to go! Right now, we are ensuring that players who have been waiting in line for their SCC art are the first ones who submit to the new feature. After we have confirmed the waiting players have had their SCCs entered into the new feature for completion, we will open the feature up to artists to join. Finally, when we have a team of artists, we will open it up for submission.
A Silver Custom Crystal counts as a ticket to the feature. By submitting your SCC, you can select artists you'd like to create your pet and write its description. Like GCC and MDT, an artist from your selection can claim your ticket and work on it.
After the art is completed and approved by the customs team, the artist is paid and your pet is automatically uploaded into your account. No more waiting!
The statue items are artwork commission items that allow you to commission artwork only through the SCC panel without the use of an SCC. The "Magical Species Statue" has a small chance of uploading the completed artwork for you like an SCC does.
Speaking of Snoodles, the brand new box feature for it was completed this morning. After we do some brief testing this afternoon we will be sending out messages to the artists with approved snoodles to start loading the box up as early as this evening, provided there are no bugs!
We expect the box will release as soon as all the artists have loaded in their sets, so we're doing a little pre-sale for it. Cup of Snoodles will be $25 like the Fox in the Box when the box is ready to release, but while we're loading in sets you can buy a pre-sale Cup of Snoodles for $20. The other snoodle items are on sale as well.
If you want to get in on the action early, then pick up your pre-sale cup and start getting ready for the release! We'll let you know with twenty four hours in advance when the feature is going to launch so you can be ready with your pre-sale cups.
Some quick housekeeping notices -
PMBC List Deadlines have been increased to seven days.
PMBC has received a raise to $4.50.
PLBC has received a raise to $5.50.
PMBC Predicts have received a new cap of $4.00.
GCC Design and MDT Design payments have been set to Tuesday.

wow a lot of info in the news post! Excited for the new location, I can't wait to see what is going on there.
I hope I get my check in this month soon enough to pick up a discount cup. If not I may aim for one of the metal ones to get a patchwork plush themed one for my collection.

Easter Bunny (#80) - As far as I know with SCCs they're always created as new pets at the moment, so it's not a change to the current system. However if there is a large user want for it I could consider hosting a complimentary Haunted Box style thread specifically for the feature?

Eve (#2775) One of my SCC pet was done via site, Eri let me choose the ID to overlay on. XD So it's definitely cool if we can use specific ID pet.

Pretty melo! Erm.... " your pet is automatically uploaded into your account. " - Does that mean we cannot choose what ID we want to overlay our species over? Incase we have specific ID pets we want to usE? JAK (#15)
