Welcome to the merry month of May!
As the saying goes, April showers brings May flowers, and we have plenty of fresh treats springing up.
New pets are all abloom in the GP Shop!
While the creatures in the BP Shop are aglow with glee!
If you colored one of these adorable 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-May) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
Soak up a new month with the Essence of May 2014!
Inspired by National Bike Month, this potion goes down quick and will turn your active pet into a random monthly coloration from the assortment above.
The premium monthly item will be ready to go tomorrow afternoon/evening, so I will make an announcement as soon as that's available. I'll add a little something extra to it for the slight delay. *wink*
We kicked off a brand new Lunaris set and calendar last month!
Remember, the Willow Lunaris is with us through May 12th, then a new birthday feline will take over.
Visit the birthday link on the anniversary of your glorious birth to receive a gift from Aywas!
The new monthly contests have been announced!
June Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
June Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
June Monthly Customs
Theme: Cameras/Photography
Good luck with your entries!
The Nova custom makers will remain in the GP/BP Shops for May, cycle into the Premium Shop for June, and then return for July and August.
Coding Corner
A monthly update from behind the scenes!
My update for you this time around will be pretty general, but essentially we have several programmers at work on myriad assignments and are hoping to see the seeds they've been sowing start to visibly grow this month. So, you should be able to look forward to more detailed updates as things progress. :3
I also wanted to give everyone a moderator update! We meant to increase our green team in April, but unfortunately I had some personal setbacks (including a death in the family), so I pinky promise hiring will be done soon, I'm just finalizing the list. :) I appreciate your patience!
We're also going to have some pretty fun activities this month, along with a new Raw pet, so there'll be plenty to keep you entertained!
Here's to May!
(And here's to hoping everything makes sense; I shouldn't be responsible for what I write after midnight. XD)

Easter/Spring Reminder!
Site Update
Good evening! :3 I just wanted to quickly remind everyone that our remaining Easter/Spring holiday festivities are wrapping up tonight after 11:59 p.m. Please note that many of our features have to be manually disabled, so you are guaranteed access to the various features through this evening; after that time passes, they can be removed at any moment.
For the Easter Egg Field, we are going to disable new eggs from being deposited after the above deadline, but you will still be able to collect an egg once every ten minutes until the field is clear! Similarly, we will also disable new Easter Painter projects, but will let you collect them for at least 24 hours.
Psst... I think there's still quite a few hidden admin eggs waiting to be found in the field! *wink*
Thank you for another egg-cellent celebration!
