The Raw Crystal magic is shifting...
This is your ~24-hour warning to submit any Monaku custom designs you are still holding onto.
You have until March 15th at 11:59 p.m to submit any and all Monaku designs before they move to Antiquity Staves and a new pet takes over the Raws!
Don't forget to grab your Paradise Monaku copy from the BP Shop as well!

Raw Reminder - Monaku
Pets
Just a quick note to remind you that our raw pet will be switching this month!
The Monaku will be staying with us until March 15th at 11:59 p.m., so make sure to get your customs submitted by then via Raw Crystals; after that date, the Monaku will be creatable via Antiquity Staves. (The Monaku base in the Jeweled Crystal can still be made for the full duration of that item's rotation, however.)
Oh, and don't forget to snag a copy of the Paradise Monaku from the BP Shop!
I will also post the usual 24-hour warning, but I wanted to give you a little extra heads up! :3

PMBC - New System
Items
As we are experimenting with the mechanics of the Painted Metal Breeding Coin, we now have a new system to test out - unofficial breeding artists.
An unofficial breeding artist does work on commission for users with PMBCs and Painted Pens, and in turn gets paid by the site for their work. Please view the PMBC Shops section of the forums for information about this for artists and breeders.
Note that Painted Metal Breeding Coin breedings must have a Painted Pen attached to the breeding to utilize content from the PMBC shops.

Looking for fresh moderators!
Site Update
Aywas is springing forward!
(We observe Daylight Saving Time, so you might've noticed that our clock jumped ahead one hour this weekend.)
In keeping with a month of green, we are officially looking to add more moderators to our ranks! :3 If you love Aywas and spend more hours logged in than you do sleeping, you just might be the person we're looking for! (I'm kidding, please get some rest; you don't want your application to be a mess of keyboard mashing after having fallen asleep on it.)
Here's how to apply:
- please fill out the application found here in its entirety.
- send the completed application to [email protected]
Please note that if you have applied any time since our last round of hiring, your application is on file for review. If you want to send in an updated application, though, that is perfectly acceptable.
As an additional resource, I have updated the following Knowledge Base article:
How do I become a moderator?
This entry has information on our overall hiring process as well as answers to quite a few FAQs.
It is to your benefit to review the information presented there prior to applying. If you have any questions not answered in the article, feel free to drop me a note (please put something about "Mod App" in the subject line)!
The "deadline" to get your application in for this round of hiring is Monday, March 24, 2014 at 11:59 p.m.
I will begin reviewing applications on the 25th and expect to make final hiring decisions in the beginning of April.
Best of luck!
We are very much looking forward to bringing new faces aboard! :3
