Site Update
One of the overwhelming pieces of feedback we've had since yesterday is that people are concerned about what they can charge for different types of artwork, services and items.
To aid in clearing up that confusion a table has been added to the commissions panel knowledgebase article, which gives you the various methods of payment and if you can use it.
If there's anything you think should be added let us know, we did our best to be thorough but we may have missed a subject or two!

Important Clarifications
Site Update
Recently we've been seeing a lot of concerns raised by users when staff take official actions with users, and of course with some recent bans the worries have resurfaced and have reached us. First and foremost I would like to stress that we only ever take steps such as these when there is ample onsite evidence that actions that breech our Terms of Service have occurred.
In this instance it has regarded the "USD Sales of Designs By Artists" section of the ToS, which reads as follows:
"This section governs the sale of derivative works (artworks incorporating official Aywas pet bases, SCC pets that have been submitted already, and HA avatar artwork). Players may only accept USD for their derivative artworks through the Commissions Platform or through the use of Artist Paintbrushes. Players are forbidden from negotiating or selling derivative artworks through any other means, or in any other location. This means that players may only receive USD direct to their PayPal account when in connection with a Commissions Platform official request, or when an administrator redeems a Paintbrush for them."
This was written into the ToS in June of last year when the feature was released, and a news post was made to make everyone aware. There is also a knowledgebase article which was linked in the news post and is linked on the Commissions Panel page, to ensure that the knowledge of this was clearly and easily accessible.
Previous to this all USD sales of derivative works were disallowed by the ToS, except through Paintbrushes when they were initialised. As such any purposeful circumvention is a permanently bannable offence.
The fee that the commissions platform takes is not to punish the artist, but a licence for them to profit from the use of our copyrighted materials. These fees also allow us to continue building and repairing the site, as well as support the many artists that work as contractors for us in the breeding and custom ticket systems.
No one on staff takes banning a user lightly, and none of us take any joy from it - it is simply a necessary part of the work we do to continue maintaining the website. As always, as long as you have read and abide by the ToS then you are not in any danger - and if you are ever in doubt about something you want to do, or something someone has asked you to do for them, then please contact a member of staff. We are here to help you and always happy to do so =)

Welcome to April!
Site Update
Welcome to the wonderful month of April!
Let's hop right to it and spring ahead with some new shiny pets. *u*
It's time to shower you with our newest GP Shop pets!
While the BP Shop pets bloom!
If you colored one of these fun pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-March) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
The illustrious Essence of April 2016 was made in honor of Athena.
A single sip from this owl-shaped bottle might not necessarily make your pet wiser, but it will transform your active pet into one of the monthly colorations above at random.
Have a party, it's your birthday!
It's that time of year again, where the Aywas zodiac calendar resets and switches over to a new birthday Lunaris theme for the next twelve months.
After taking inspiration from community ideas, I am excited to announce that our new theme is... Native American zodiac animals!
The Falcon Lunaris you see above will be reigning over the skies through the entire month of April; a new Lunaris will take over on May 1st.
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here! Missed your birthday Lunaris or picked up the wrong one? Contact Kyu (#1010)!
The new monthly contests have been announced!
May Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
May Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
May Monthly Customs
Theme: Watercolor
Good luck with your entries!
The Nova custom creators have returned to their respective places in the GP and BP Shops for April and May. In June, they will migrate back to the Premium Outlet.
Nuts 'n Bolts Nook
A monthly update from behind the scenes.
We've been busy bees behind the scenes, and Slash will have more details for you in our next April post!
Cheers to a new month!

Adventures in Easter
Site Update
Hello again!
We have processed the current Easter Pet Submissions and selected several to join us in adventure!
You can find these and more hiding around in different adventure zones, they will remain there until the closing of the Easter Event (we'll announce the date once the Seasonal Shop is Opening)
Payment will be sent out at the end of the event!
Those that have Accepted written in their posts will be used later! We have also decided that this isn't nearly enough Holiday pets and re-opened the Easter Pet Submissions Thread, just like the Item and HA submissions it will remain open until April 5th at 11:59pm.
We are still wrangling a few glitches with the floating eggs, so if you discover something new please come over to the Glitches thread! As a note, the eggs do spawn a little slow, they can take a couple seconds before they actually appear on your page, so click a little slower if your a speed demon <3
Have fun!

Breeding Season!
Site Update
Breeding Season is upon us again, and there's plenty of new things in store!
The Spibby (Chiro x Arak) and the Abyss (Cerby x Yena) are two of our new hybrids on the block! Breeding staff noticed that you wanted some more "scary" sorts of hybrids, so we hope these fit the bill!
But that's not all... we have a new rare hybrid to unveil as well!
The Fetail (Teo x Faux) is finally here! Teos and Fauxes are among the most popular genera available, so it only makes sense that they should get their own hybrid! Unlike other rare hybrids, you can use a Breeding Coin for this one, as well as Hybrid Potions, HCCs, etc.
After all their parent genera aren't all that rare after all, so there's nothing wrong with making this rare hybrid a little easier to get, right? ;)
A number of you have asked when some new Bonus Items would be released, and we're happy to announce this new breeding season has brought two new custom makers to the Collect Bonus page.
The Emaia Seed allows you to create a 50% edited Emaia custom, and the Alidae Seed allows you to create a 50% edited Alidae custom.
The Metal Takeout Box has also taken a peek into the Bonus items section, if you happen to want to make some metal snoodles and fauxes! (Who knows, maybe they would make for a very nice looking Fetail).
Some more goodies await the beginning of April, so be sure to check back later to see new monthly pets, jeweled sets, and others! Also, be sure to read the news post below this... otherwise, you might be confused by the flying eggs.

Easter EGGstravaganza
Site Update
Happy Belated Easter!
As I am sure some of you have noticed there may be a Rainbow Easter Egg floating around your screen!
When you click the Easter Egg it should open into a small window telling you that you have received one Point! These eggs will continue floating around until Friday April 8th, and the points will be used for the Seasonal Shop
These eggs spawn between every 5-15 minutes, so be ready to click!
Be warned, the Eggs do get a little finicky if your browsing on multiple tabs, and we are testing a new style for the floating currency versus what everyone has known in the past, so if you stumble across an error please post in the Glitches Forum and ping me, if you have general inquiries feel free to ping me to the news comments!
This is also a reminder to check out the Easter Contests! They will be closing in a few days so get your submissions in!
Happy Easter and Good Hunting!
