Demonic Silvers!

Site Update

Goto News Post

ozoa_slimehoundfetus.png

Despite the best efforts of the resistance, things just keep getting darker and darker for our once peaceful little town... rumors of other apocalyptic beasts appearing out of the depths of the sewers have grown prevalent. They say that if one offers them their earthly possessions, they will pledge their loyalty to you... but what kind of evil-hearted person would want a demonic army?

hellhorse.pngabysscat.png

Jester has created the two Apocalypse SCC species you see above--a horse and cat--which will both be raffled and auctioned off for YOU to potentially own!

The HORSE will be raffled off for BP.
Tickets will be unlimited and sold for 50k each.
I will post an Ice Sleeves raffle momentarily!
The raffle will be drawn some time on the evening of the 13th, so to be safe, make sure you get your tickets by May 12 at 11:59 p.m.

The CAT will be auctioned off for GP.
Bids are in GP ONLY.
To bid, post in the news comments below.

Starting Bid: 1 GP
Minimum Increment: 1 GP
Autobuy: None
Ending Time: May 12 at 11:59 p.m.
Bids on 11:59 count; bids after do not.
Remember, only use funds that you have in your possession or can obtain by the time of "purchase," which would be the end time.

I will try and post periodic updates for the high bid on the CAT, but always check the recent bids before placing one.

Good luck!

(Psst, we also added some more pets to the Downtown area and the Hound Hybrid Potion.)

Poll time!

How many of you would like explore pets to retire from their areas after a certain amount of time (available only through Truly Random Eggs, Glittering Rocks, and so forth)?


I would like explore pets retired from their regions after...

The benefit to this would be making it easier to locate new pets in the explore regions, of course, if the older ones get retired on a schedule! As well as older colorations should become more valuable.

Winners, drop me a message ranking the prizes in order of desire.


Less happily announced, however is this: Aywas is too big of a site to run Scavenger Hunt anymore. Last year's Scavenger Hunt drove the point home that we have too many users, too many teams, to be able to run this event feasibly.

HOWEVER, there is possibility to modify the event to make it more manageable with our much larger userbase. If you have any ideas for that, feel free to let me know. There's a Think Tank post for it!
