Site Update
Hello, this is a news post all on it's own as we see several users disregarding our previous warnings. Do. Not. Capture. The Monsters! if we find that you are, they will be overlayed with a common site pet with no compensation given. If you find a user doing this please PM Hiiro #755 immediately. The Monsters should not be showing up in Haunted House, however that area is rather finicky and has not been wanting to obey us. We are currently working on remedying the situation.

The Apocalypse Unus Ride Again!
New Game
It looks like those Unus completely destroyed this place! There's not much left behind... I wonder what got into them? Cleaning this up is going to be a nightmare!!
Hey, what's that?
Oh no, the glowing war drum can only mean one thing... the Apocalypse Unus are on the loose! Seems Trick or Treating has awoken the Unus' competitive spirit once again, and now they seek players to join their cause! Except this time, they are not content to just take candy.
This season of Halloween brings a new team event to Aywas! By visiting the Unus Event Page, users will be able to pick their team and fight for the glory of their Apocalypse Unus captain! You can read more about the Apocalypse Unus on the Site Character page if you'd like to make a fully-informed decision about whom you are pledging your loyalty for. But choose wisely, once you have picked your team, there are no ways to change teams!
Once you have joined a team, you will be able to earn points for your team!
"Victory at all costs!"
Earning points can be done in various ways though the most common way will be battling in Adventure. Fret not if your pet is not the strongest in Ay! Win or lose, you will earn points for your team! In addition, the cooks of Ay will also be called in, as someone has to keep these armies fed (even if you're Team Famine)!
Point System:
- 10 Points for winning a battle in Haunted House
- 5 Points for every 15 steps in Maze
- 4 Points for losing a battle in Haunted House
- 5 Points for 10 cooking levels
"Keep an eye on the prize..."
So what is it we're all competing for? At the end of the event, we will have a Unus Event SCC. The final design of the SCC will be influenced by the winning team's Unus Leader! In addition there are trophies and other items to be won!
Winning Team
Will receive a copy of the Event SCC maker, a Metal Design Ticket, and a Dark Crown of Eveglori breeding addon! In addition, they will receive a trophy of their winning Unus captain!
Top 10 of Each Team
Will receive a copy of the Event SCC maker, a Metal Design Ticket, and a trophy featuring our lovely Unus of the Apocalypse!
All Participants
Because the event is optional, all who choose to participate will receive a Haunted House trophy!
These prizes do stack! So if you end up in the top 10 on the winning team, you will have 2 Event SCC makers and 2 MDTs to get them colored! Plus all the trophies!
"It's not the destination, it's thrill of the battle along the way!"
I know, this has been a very long post... but stay with me just a bit longer! There are a few parting notes that we on staff would like to point out about the Unus Event!
- This event is purely optional. You do not have to join a team to get the full benefit of the Haunted House region or the seasonal shop.
- The statistics of the Unus Team page are purposely vague. We didn't want all players to feel pressured to choose one team over another based on team sizes or current placements. At the end of each week, staff will make a small news post stating the current rankings of the teams for those curious, but a current tally will not be made public.
- Be sure to check out the News Post below for information about the opening of the Haunted House region!
And with that being said...
GO OUT AND FIGHT, IN THE NAME OF YOUR CAPTAIN!
"And give me all your candy!"

A chill wind blows...
Site Update
"How quaint..." there is a mysterious voice echoing through the Concert Hall, leaving all of the creatures within trembling as they look around. "A concert hall, isn't this just darling?" another female voice laughs coldly as an icy chill fills the large rooms.
"They were apparently attempting to distract us with all of that.. candy laying around" there is a quieter sneer resonating from the back chambers, followed by an almost animalistic growl before shadows begin to form, the four figures get closer and closer...
There is a chilling laugh as the Unus' vanish just as swiftly as they appeared. Leaving only destruction in their wake, perhaps a sign of things to come? Due to the fires, the Concert Hall will be closed at 11:59pm AST tonight, and the Seasonal Shop will follow suit. Brave the flames and finish collecting what you need before it is all gone!
The laughing continues outside of the Concert Hall.. it seems to be coming from an old, forgotten building... What is going on in there, I wonder? Perhaps you should go find out!
It seems the Unus' have opened up the Haunted House! There is so many new residents who have joined the previous ones hiding inside! I also think I see a few pumpkins!
A few notes about the Haunted House: The Monsters in there are not meant to be capturable. As such, for the time being, they will not be making any appearances. If you are found to have captured one it will be overlayed without compensation!
At this moment the original items are still hiding within the Haunted House, and we will be adding more (and a museum collection) later, but for now it is just those! It will make much more sense once we get to that point. ;)
Enjoy collecting all of the pets and exploring the region! Make sure you finish up your Concert Hall activities!

Lunaris' like Trick or Treating too!
Site Update
A few quick Trick or Treat updates! By now some of you may have noticed that there is a Recent ToTs Page! Wanna get revenge on the people throwing poop at you? Well, now when they knock you'll have records of their poop-slinging activities!
There is also a little side bar on the left near your knocks that lists how much candy you have! Click that number to be taken to the Requests page and see what has been going on with your door! This nifty little Candy Counter will also wiggle when you get a new candy!
Why these changes? Because we have disabled the notifications! You're not the only ones who were annoyed by being buried under poop and candy! (Hopefully not mixed together!) If you really liked those notifications, though, you can find a button on the ToT page to re-enable them!
You may also notice the other button over there that says "Disable ToT." You can turn Trick or Treating off, however please be cautious about turning it off and then still knocking. It isn't very friendly to do that and some NPCs may take notice of this action!
You may also notice a few more NPCs running around! They thought the others were having so much fun that they wanted to join in on the festivities too!
Several of you have already figured out that "karma" has a pretty big influence on which NPCs you come across and how much candy they give/take. We have adjusted Karma values a little, and you now lose less karma from tricking, as we want everyone to enjoy this event and not feel they are forced to treat every single time!
One final note is that Aketch is getting a little bit full on all the candy he has stolen, so he might be making a few less appearances.
And on a personal note, I wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes in this time. It has been trying, to say the least, and I will not go into details about it in a news post, since I don't believe everyone wants to be bogged down with those, but I truly appreciate all the kind words said, thankyou <3
And now a dual-post note from Chibi (#124)!
The Birthday Lunaris is here! For the month of October we have the Raven Lunaris!
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? As our current Birthday Change thread is down for renovations (pardon our dust!), please go ahead and PM me(#124) should you need the birthday attached to your account changed.
If your birthday already came this month and you collected the previous Bear Lunaris but would like the Raven coloration instead, please contact Kyu (#1010) and she will do a switcharoo for you!
Please make sure you check out all the news posts below!

Oops!
Site Update
Hey all,
Stepping up for Kaiyo (#489) right now (offline life is kicking her rump right now), because it seems in the rush of everything happening we forgot the Vion Planter.
It's now stocking in the GP Shop for 350 GP, and will be taken out approximately noon tomorrow.
I also must give you the 24 hour countdown to total Mayday PSD annihilation.
Unfortunately to stock in the new customs and PSDs we need to wipe out the old records, so if you have a pet from the last batch then please, please go and grab that PSD. If you've sold or gifted it please, please check with your friend/buyer that they have the PSD before they all disappear.
Other than that, Kaiyo will be getting to her PMs as best she can over the next couple of days and is apologising profusely that she's behind.

Bot: A Noteworthy Update
Site Update
Whew, it's finally time to open the Seasonal Shop for the Music Event!
To start off, we have nineteen wonderfully whimsical pets waiting for you to take them home!
If you like to dress up to the occasion, we also have some magically musical human avatar items and trunks! Here's a peek at what the shop has to offer:
Does your pet fancy having a drink? Perhaps it prefers a small snack? These items might tickle your treble!
I'm sure you don't want those new musical pets to feel lonely, do you?! Maybe you should take home one of the cute, new fauna!
Maybe you're feeling a bit stabby from all that adventuring, and that's where this lovely sword comes in!
Into collectable trinkets? Grab a book and glue yourself to it!
Last but not least, we have a staggering stack of sheet music that unlocks the forum title Musicality!
Please be aware that the Stack of Sheet Music is not coded and will not work yet!
Note: The Seasonal Shop uses the Bass Cleff Coin currency available in the Concert Hall adventure area!
We would like to give one final round of thanks to our Slashbotee, Ender (#42131) for hosting this lovely event! We hope you're all enjoying it!
The shop and adventure area close date will be announced later, due to the shop opening a bit late! Try to make any important purchases from the shop by October 4th at 11:59pm to be sure that you get everything you want!
Don't forget to read all the massive news posts below for information on lots of new updates!

How Many Updates Is Too Many?
Site Update
Another week, another lack of entries! We really need to stop putting out so many updates! e.e
Entry time will be extended and must be in by October 9th at 6pm AST.
Updates, chat, the ping group, and the prize that hasn't been awarded yet can be found in the Story Game thread!
Story Game rules and information can be found in the Knowledge Base.
Speaking of us not doing any more updates.. here's an update!
I'm sure you breeders have been on your toes waiting for this one!
We have finally opened up Gen2+ Pet PSD Uploads!
Please make sure you read the rules in the thread! Failure to do so may result in your post being completely ignored! ): Only because I still need a few specks of sanity left, at the least, so please follow the rules! <3
The thread includes all of the information you will need on how to go about uploading your Gen2 and higher pet PSDs! If you have any questions or comments, there is an Updates Thread similar to the Fetch Updates thread. You can post there with questions, or peek in to see how progress is going!
But wait, there's more!
For only $19.99 you can.. oh, wait.. I mean..
Cauldron submissions have seen a pay increase!
Every accepted design will now receive 6GP and every two designs accepted will receive 1SP! Yay monies!
The last tidbit I would like to add is a warning to not purchase anything from the seasonal shop yet! We're still working on adding and updating the stock, so be warned that prices may change and will not be refunded if you choose to buy before it has officially opened!
