Site Update
With a tremendous 175,000 votes, Carolina Raptor Center catapulted to the top! They scored 4th place and managed to get the $25,000 grant!
Think about that for a second, guys. Because all of us came together and voted, a charity was awarded $25,000. That's way more than we will ever be capable of personally donating, but we still managed to make it happen. That's the unique power of a player base that cares about animals and their welfare.
Give yourselves a pat on the back, because that's amazing!

Greater Life Seed
Site Update
The Greater Life Seed is now available in the USD shop for $30.00. Like the Life Seed, this item provides a second founder for the breeding, but it guarantees the edits--unlike the 10% chance of having edits that the Life Seed offered.
It also offers more pay. The Life Seed offers an additional $10, while the Greater Life Seed provides an additional $15.
It's really shocking how many PBC breedings are being completed by the new team, but certainly good to see that queue start going down! Well done, artists!
If you haven't noticed, there is now a "Remove" button for Breeding Add-Ons via the Standing Stones. So if you have a Life Seed and want to upgrade it, so to speak, remove the old add-on and sell it on the market after you add the new one :)
We implemented a simple little Toybox feature, where you can add an item from your inventory into your pet's toybox. It shows up on their profile. This can help character designers show off what kind of items that pet would enjoy holding.
A couple more things that Rems has added or fixed:
- Price Checker for pets in shop
- Drinking Game saves high scores now
- User pet shop separates customs and site pets
- Colored backgrounds in adoption center depending on owned status
- Drop-down for searching regenerating items in inventories
- Name Tag updated to allow players to use it more than once
- Unhide Notice option
- Glittering Slab link added to Play
- Report function no longer gives errors and now notifies staff involved in a report when there is a reply
- Players can now enjoy the forum colors/backgrounds for each rank they have (may need to go through an admin to fix an individual user's ranks)
- HA appear only in forums option in User Settings
- Added Stacks to donation box
- Search functions for Manage Silver Species and Edit Silver Species
- Custom fauna bug fixed
- Fixed engagement ring bug
- Fixed quick stock bugs and added gallery and donation box options

CRC thanks Aywas!
Site Update
Hey, look at this lovely image we just received from the Carolina Raptor Center!
Click here to view a collage of Thank You Images! (Warning: there's some gore from baby birds being fed, so click at your own risk!)
"The first JPG is of Scout, a Harris’ Hawk and one of our permanent residents. The collage JPG includes a Great Horned Owl “puppet” we use to feed orphaned owlets, 2 baby Black Vultures with a puppet mom, Scout again, a rehab Barred Owl patient, and Mattie, a Great Horned Owl permanent resident."
Let's hope they made it into the Top 5! Aywas did a fantastic job supporting this animal-based charity, and we really hope they win the $25,000!

Foxy Friday Campaign!
Site Update
Hey, you!
Yeah, you!
Do you want to get an awesome fox shirt, a special SCC pet, and help the best exotic animal shelter out all at once?
Aywas and its official pet artist, Kuitsuku, have decided to team together to produce this awesome shirt campaign for Critter Camp! For just $20.00, you get a t-shirt in the above design (produced and shipped to you from the Booster company), a Foxy Friday Potion, and help out the shelter. They take PayPal, too!
This is the Foxy Friday Potion and it allows you to make one of the foxes from the t-shirt design... just rendered a bit more to our tastes. ;)
Aywas has always been committed to helping out animal shelters and animal conservation causes, and we think this is our best contribution yet!
What do you think of the shirt? Cute, isn't it? Foxy Friday refers to the pictures that Critter Camp puts on their Facebook page every Friday of the foxes they have rescued. Todd is the red fox and Wiley is the fennec.
Also, even if you can't contribute, you can help by reblogging this post about it on tumblr if you can - or sharing the Facebook post - so Critter Camp's new campaign gets lots of exposure!
