Site Update

Oh, hello! You might've noticed that the Pumpkin Patch is now officially open! :3
But before you go traipsing through there all willy-nilly, we have a few quick rules and guidelines to go over with you to make sure everyone has a safe pumpkin experience!





The Pumpkin Patch is a glorious place hidden deep in a magical part of Ay where you can stuff your favorite pumpkins with BP/GP, pets, a silly Halloween or other holiday/seasonal message, or anything else (appropriate) that you like!
And the best part is that you don't even have to scoop out the seeds first. 8D
The instructions are simple: deposit a pumpkin in order to collect a pumpkin; you can collect one every ten minutes. (Note that all pumpkins must contain a minimum of 1,000 BP.)
See? Easy! This feature runs purely on the effort of our community, so if you'd like to chat with your peers about the patch, see what other people are picking up (and putting in), and maybe make some new friends, head on over to Aywas Talk.

I do want to clarify that if you deposit 5 pumpkins right in a row, for example, you won't be able to pick up 5 in a row after 10 minutes has elapsed. Depositing is unlimited, but you are restricted to claiming one pumpkin every 10 minutes.
To help you with this, the timer feature will be brought back and should be live soon!

Reminder: While we love this festive season of tricks as much as the Trickster Trio Cerby, remember that while the pumpkins are anonymous to you, staff is able to track every single action in the patch. Keep it fun and PG-13, friends. If you try to ruin someone else's holiday experience, you will quickly find that your own will suffer.
If you do encounter a not-so-nice message or any other problems with the patch, please PM me with "Pumpkin Patch" in the subject line.

Have fun out there!
Many more features and surprises to come. :3

Welcome to October! (Part I)
Site Update

Welcome to the famous month of October on Aywas!
Aywas in October offers a very memorable experience because it begins with our birthday and ends with holidays, meaning we have celebrations going on all month long. <3
Let's kick off the season with those little critters that we just can't get enough of--pets!
Our star GP Shop creatures would love to have you as their trick-or-treat companion. Just look at the puppy eyes on that Jormu.















But how can you resist the sweet pleas of our BP Shop pets? (That Welly is asking to be squished.)















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-October) so we have time to snag 'em for science!

Looking for a salty, buttery snack? The Essence of October 2015 might just be the ticket!
This popcorn inspired potion will transform your active pet into one of the monthly colorations above at random.
The premium monthly item will be revealed soon!

Have a party, it's your birthday!
The Hunters Moon Lunaris you see above will be reigning over the skies through the entire month of October; a new Lunaris will take over on November 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)!

A monthly update from behind the scenes.
It's October, so if you're a veteran player, you know what's in store!
If you're a newer member, suffice to say you can expect a wild ride this month. *wink*
Our signature October features, including the illustrious Pumpkin Patch, will be revealed soon.
Don't forget to check the Advent Calendar every day this month through the 31st!
Oh, and it looks like Miksa wants to sneak a little something in here too. c:

Hello everyone! I wanted to give you a bit of a heads up that I'll be changing the stock in my shop come October 7th! So if you want to own any of these pretty pets I currently am selling, you should buy them before October 7th. On October 7th they will be permanently retired and new pets will take their place!

THIS IS OCTOBER!
Are you ready?

Breeding Team Hiring and Predicts Change!
Site Update
We're Hiring!
We're putting out a call for any user that is potentially interested in being a breeding artist for MBC, LBC, or RBC!
These teams are actively in need of additional help and we have some GP positions open!
The applications for each coin can be found here.

We're also putting a call out for a user that has an ~evil~ side and would like to dabble in the dark magic of the EBC. You would do lists fully of EBC and would be our EBC dedicated artist. -cackles-
If you're interested, please apply by filling out the BC artist application.
Change In the Prediction Process!
In addition, we've changed how user predictions work slightly.
You no longer need to send pending prediction .PSD files to aywas.predicts@gmail.com
That email is officially retired.
From now on, only send hatched baby .PSD files to [email protected]
