Pets
Hello everyone! I wanted to let you know that I changed the stock in my pet shop! The old pets were retired and they're in loving forever homes now! I found some wonderful, beautiful, new pets to share with you and they're happily on sale and ready to meet their new owners!
Please remember that my shop is on a stock rotation schedule! As usual the stock will change every 3 months. After the 3 months, the pets currently in stock will be permanently retired and a new stock will replace them. So buy them while you can!
I've also found a few new pets out in the wilderness of the Aywas world. I couldn't make them tame enough to sell in the pet shop so I'll just show you them so you can catch them yourself.
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! There's also a chance that the designs accepted from that forum will go into the Pet Shop! Remember, you can earn SP!
If your design is now in the pet shop or in the new adventure release please contact Kyu (#1010) for your free copy.
A Change to How Adventure Pets Will Work!
Adventure pets used to be released every 2 weeks in batches of 6. We're changing this to be once a month in batches of 9-12. This won't change the prizes for having your pets accepted, or the monthly raffle. The pet coloration submissions forums, however, will only be checked approximately once a month instead of once every 2 weeks.
I'll be going through the forums during this next week and accepting through the backlog from when I was gone. :) Thank you for being patient! The monthly raffle(s) from when I was gone will be drawn and all posted & rewarded at next month's release post and we'll be back on track!

Moderator Applications
Site Update
Moderator applications are open! Moderators are the backbone of the website and help organize events, compile information, and assist admins with tasks. If you have ever wanted to help keep Aywas running smoothly, then a moderator application is for you!
Please note that the e-mail to send applications to has been changed. If you have applied before, please do so again (though note some parts of the app have changed) so that the admin team can review your application together. A team of five admins are reviewing applications this round!
We want to hire a lot of new moderators to distribute tasks to and get things running faster and smoother. We need your help to do so, though, so please don't hesitate to apply!

Regarding Deleting Threads
Site Update
Staff have recently been inundated with requests for thread deletions, most often when an account is being sold/moved into. This is creating an unsustainable workload that is impacting other areas of the site.
Due to this we are now formally restricting thread removals to one year old or less from the time of the last post. For example, from today, threads last posted in before July 14th 2014 will no longer be removed from accounts.
Users posting in threads they want deleted to bring them within the time limit will receive a formal warning against their account.

Miksa's Exotic Pet Emporium
Pets
Hello everyone! I wanted to give you a bit of a heads up that I'll be changing the stock in my shop come July 18th! So if you want to own any of these pretty pets I currently am selling, you should buy them before July 18th. On July 18th they will be permanently retired and new pets will take their place!

Welcome to July! Part 2!
Site Update
PART 2!
All the stragglers are in! Who's ready for the second half of July's content?
Breeding Season is upon us, and with it comes two new hybrids! Say hello to the Eudico (Linorm x Kernal) and the Carid (Insi x Gael)!
Breeding Coins are stocking in the GP Shop and the USD Shop/Purchase GP page has some bonuses to go along with it!
The Collect Bonus page is featuring some very nice Breeding Season items for those of you banking your bonus money!
Is it snowing? What is this, Christmas in July? The Delicious Eggnog is coming back for a quick promotional re-release now that its queue is gone! Buy GP or USD items and get this promotional item for every $10 spent. If purchasing USD items, please contact account #15 to redeem!
Be aware that the Collect Bonus items, the Delicious Eggnog, and Breeding Coins will be around until 11:59 on July 12th!
The Jeweled Crystal is featuring some new pets from Pepperly!
The Jeweled Hybrid Crystal has some as well!
Who thinks the Jeweled Rare Crystal has a Pepperly base too? You would be... right!
You've been looking forward to that new Rock Custom Crystal base, haven't you? Unfortunately, we are sad to announce that Osiem has left the RCC position, and as a result, the Rock Custom Crystal will not be having any further bases after this month's.
As a result, we have decided to open the item up to making any base that was provided for it in the past. It will continue to stock in the BP Shop but no new bases will be added any further.
The Premium Item for this month is the Rock Custom Crystal so you can celebrate its long lifespan with a custom of your own!
Everything's kind of running behind as a number of admins are occupied with real life, but we hope to get the following resolved during the month of July:
- remaining Scavenger Hunt prizes
- a new admin hired to aid Eri with Slashbot slots (from what I hear, she is training the person now!)
- update the newest genuses with their natural Adventure hidden item ability
- ID resurrectors reopened with some backend coding changes
Here's to a good July!

Welcome to July!
Site Update
Welcome to the wonderful month of July!
Grab some much-deserved rest and relaxation this month with a GP Shop pet companion!
Or go on an adventure with a BP Shop sidekick!
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-July) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
The Essence of July 2015 is stocking in the GP shop for your gambling desires!
Using this item will turn your active pet into a random coloration from the assortment of pet "flavors" above.
The premium monthly item should be announced soon!
The Buck Moon Lunaris is here to celebrate July birthdays!
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!
