Seasonal Shop Warning
Site Update
I'm scrambling around in a flurry of paper hearts and chocolate getting ready for the Seasonal Shop to open its doors!
Please remember that we do not advise making any purchases from the shop until it is formally announced as being open. If you jump the gun, we will NOT reimburse you for price changes, item functionality, etc.
I will be staying up rather late tonight to open the shop, so that's your cue that it'll be a few hours before everything is finalized. :3
Love Letters will still be findable/sendable through the week that the shop is open, so get to lickin' those envelopes if you've been slacking!

Adventure Pets & Pet Shop of Horrors Update
Pets
It's been a while but do not fear, Adventure pets still want to come out and play! Since we've resolved (most of) the account issues from downtime, Adventure pets will start appearing on a biweekly basis again!
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! Remember, you can earn SP!
And an important alert! If you remember, there was a news post before Downtime that mentioned the pets in the Little Pet Shop of Horrors would be leaving come February.
Well that obviously did not happen. Besides dealing with everything else after Downtime we didn't feel it was fair to remove the pets when some people couldn't access the site. Since some users still cannot access the site, I won't be removing the pets from the pet shop this time. The current batch will stay in the shop even when the next batch is uploaded (in the next few days). Both batches will permanently retire, however, in about 2 months. I don't want to mess with the pet shop cycle so we won't be giving the normal 3 months for this new upcoming batch. To compensate for this, the new batch's prices will be cut by about 1/3rd. I hope this sounds fair to everyone and expect to see some new pretty pet shop pets soon!

Welcome to March!
Site Update
Welcome to a bright, fresh new month here on Aywas! We're taking a break from drinking to spring to bring you a slew of new goodies!
Kicking off March is a parade of lush GP Shop pets!
And our new BP Shop pets are excitedly standing just inside the shop doors waiting for you to bring them home!
If you colored one of these stunning pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will feed your crayons to the leprechauns. Yes, Aywas has leprechauns.
Toast to March with the Essence of March 2013!
If you're feeling lucky, use this daffodil-adorned potion to change your active pet into one of our beautiful March 2013 monthlies!
Gracing our skies this month is the Rabbit Lunaris!
If you have a March birthday, be sure to swing by Aywas on your special day and collect your birthday present!
Monthly Premium Item
The Lovegram Box will be openable in a few days; we will make an announcement when the item is useable!
We will also be updating the March Premium Item as soon as we can!
I promise they're both pretty neat items and will be worth the wait, so thank you for being so understanding while we get this all back on track. <3 If your premium time is borked due to the downtime, don't forget to post on the Premium Fixes thread if you haven't already. I'll be working through that as speedily as I can and will leave you a profile comment when your time has been restored.
The new monthly contests have been announced!
April Monthly Pets - BP Shop
April Monthly Pets - GP Shop
April Monthly Customs
Theme: Gardens
(Note: This can be any sort of garden you want, so don't be afraid to branch out from a standard flowering garden. :3)
Coding Corner
Yasu has been working on overdrive for the last month to simultaneously repair downtime-related issues and tackle normal problems (such as the crons). We're working through issues one at a time as quickly as we can and are hoping to have Aywas back in tip-top shape as soon as the fates allow!
Restored and new accounts are two of our biggest ongoing hurdles. We'll have more updates tailored specifically to users in these two groups, and I really appreciate your patience during this awkward transitional time. We are putting together a "care package" of compensation for those who needed an account reactivation, so look forward to an update about that!
I also wanted to let everyone know that we will be resuming accepting new member applications again relatively soon. What does this mean for you? This means that there is going to be a HUGE wave of new players joining our community all at once. We have 800+ pending applications that I will be going through this week and I would very much appreciate it if you could take a moment to welcome these people to our community when they arrive. :3
March Events & Announcements
We are going to try and squeeze every last drop of goodness out of March to make the most of this fun, fresh month! Here's a sneak peek at some of our goals and some dates to be mindful of!
Love Fest Seasonal Shop is targeted to open this Saturday, March 9th, and will be open for a week. Love Letters will be findable through March 16th.
* User Slashbot event(s). These got rattled around due to the downtime, so I will be reaching out to those of you who had things planned for February/March to get them goin'!
* New Adventure location will be finally released this month!
- March 8th: Updated deadline for Moderator Applications.
- March 15th: New Raw pet is introduced, but the Tordoka remains until the 31st.
- March 17th: St. Patrick's Day! Small-scale St. Patrick's Day event.
- March 29, 30, 31: Artist Event.
- March 31st: Tordoka leaves Raw Crystals.
We have a couple other exciting things scheduled to happen, but I think that gives you a good teaser!
Here's to a new month!
Cheers!
