Search Options ►Off With My Head?
Site Update
Ah dear... it would seem that the delightful sentiment that I've been getting on my profile and in my inbox about liberating my head from my shoulders will need to be put on hold, my poor Rebellion.
Not only did my minions find more pieces than you, the top 10 overall seems to be 6:4 in my favour also!
It was a valiant effort, dear resistance, but you seem to have failed to overcome my children of the Eve-ning.
I will be merciful, however - I have proven time and again that I hold no animosity to you poor misguided people.
You are all welcome to join my children of the Eve-ning.
Now... who feels like a celebratory feast?

A wild Willow Lunaris has appeared!
Pets
The beautiful Willow Lunaris is the second in our series of thirteen inspired by Celtic tree astrology and coinciding with lunar months. Those of you with birthdays from April 15th - May 12th will receive a copy of this feline on your special day if you visit Aywas and click the birthday link!
(If your birthday is today and you already collected the Alder Lunaris, but would like the Willow instead, please PM Kyu (#1010) with a link to your pet to get that switched! And happy birthday! :D)
You can view all current and past zodiac Lunaris collections in the Knowledge Base as well. :3
We hope you're enjoying the latest theme!

DETHRONE THE QUEEN!
Random Silliness
*looks around carefully*
Shhhh... I think she's asleep. Quickly, quickly, lets gather.
Those Slashbots may have fallen apart but the pieces they left behind are valuable. If we can gather enough of them we might be able to overthrow the queen's takeover...
Quietly now, head on over here and decide whose side you are on.
Will you join the resistance with me and bring Aywas back to its rightful state?
or will you take sides with the evil Eveglori and bring chaos to Aywas?
Pick a side and find those slashbot pieces. All of you in the resistance, I am counting on you to find more pieces than the minions. If we find more we will win! Gather as many as you can before Tuesday April 15 at 11:59 PM AST.
Hurry now, I think she's stirring. Run and find your places before she gets back!
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

Turtle Spawning Season
Site Update
This is the final roundup call for Turtle Egg submissions - you've got a few more hours before the stroke of midnight. Remember that the deadline applies to new submissions, not designs that have been rejected and are trying again.
I keep track of turtles which were bumped (for white backgrounds or over edited, etc.) and you can resubmit those at your leisure. Anything in the Crystal Check or Copyright Check lines is also safe, regardless of when you get a response. I've mentioned this before but figured it was worth a reiteration given these types of events always attract a large number of first time submissions. : )
Crystal Check and Custom Queues should be picking back up this week in speed, the sudden spawning of thousands of turtles put a bit of a crimp in the turnaround times.

PMBC
Site Update
We have decided to lower the price of the PMBC to $7.99 and its talisman to $22.99.
Thank you for your patience as we figure out how this breeding coin fits into our economy and supply and demand. Our earlier change with married pets has allowed us to make this price drop.

Programmer
Site Update
We are happy to announce we have a +1 on our programming team! Be sure to welcome Lyro (#55750). He also works for Felisfire, so we know he's good ;)
He has a nice long list of things to do piled up on him as a welcome from the staff. Such things include fixing some errors (setting bred eggs to transfer, commas messing with prices, pet shop links), adding quality of life additions (mail notifications, collapsible genus guide, completed collections hidden, multiple choice news post polls), finishing up existing features (the library and pet price helper) and adding new infrastructure to the breeding panel (rating offspring system for admins to view and an integrated breeding mistakes feature to streamline mistake fixing).
We're especially excited about the integrated breeding mistakes queue, as we know that's been trouble. It will allow a user to submit their feedback for an offspring and request it be fixed to the breeding panel, where it then will be assigned to an artist's mistakes queue.
Lyro's proven himself to be very fast and reliable on Felisfire, so we're looking forward to good things in the near future!
