Art Gallery

The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was March for a Cause, where you had an opportunity to illustrate a cause, charity, issue, etc. you're passionate about.
We had 5 entries.. and they all won!
Here are our featured winners:





They won:


Congratulations!
The current theme is Spring Cleaning on Aywas. :3 Any medium is fine.
I'm excited to see what you guys come up with for this one!
Couple extra notes!

I handed out all of the Pickaxe items to those of you who filed your claim here. If you haven't yet posted and still need the monthly gift from premium that expired earlier this month, drop by before the end of March.
I will be closing the Pickaxe thread and the premium time thread after March is over!

You'll notice when Adventuring that there is a message that says If you get stuck in a battle, please PM user #3410. Make sure you follow this instruction moving forward so that Yasu can unstick you /and/ collect more data on why this is happening. Thanks!

We are back on track with accepting new registrations! All old pending registrations have been handled, and we are back to accepting new members daily. Yasu is also caught up with the bulk of restoration emails and accounts.

If you can stand to handle even more good news, make sure you check out all of the news posts below since we've had some pretty cool updates this weekend!

Nova Custom Items!
Site Update


These custom makers will enable you to make gold-level uncommons from Ara and Ay, respectively.
You can find them stocking in the Premium Outlet from now until the end of March.
Now until the end of March? *froths* Eri, there aren't enough pickaxes in the world to help me snag them by then!
I know, I know, but we're going to try something a little different with this pair and see how it goes. :3 Listen up!
The Nova items will be on a three month rotating schedule between the Premium Outlet and the BP and GP Shops. So, here's how the release is currently set to go:
Through the end of March: Both will be available in the Premium Outlet.
April - May: The Orb will be placed into the BP Shop for 15 mil, and the Crystal will be placed into the GP Shop for 50 GP.
Then, we would start over with a full cycle again, so--
June: Premium Outlet.
July - August: BP and GP Shop.
September: Premium Outlet.
etc.
We are giving you the prices ahead of time so you can plan your buying and saving strategies accordingly!
Please note, however, that all prices in official shops are subject to change when deemed necessary. We make every attempt to price things properly the first time, but an economic balance is a constantly moving target. So, the prices above will definitely be used in the first cycle, but we might have to make some slight adjustments depending on how things go.


I know you guys have been wanting these for a long time, so thank you for the suggestion, and enjoy the pretties!

The Grasslands!
Site Update

Welcome to the Grasslands!
Our latest Ara location has been unlocked by a path through the Seaside, so make sure you master that region before you attempt the wide open space of the Grasslands. :3
Here are some of the souvenirs (that you'll want to collect for an upcoming museum collection) you might pick up along the way:





And here are some of the wondrous creatures you might run into on your travels:






But beware, there are monsters afoot!

Our World Map page also got a bit of an update!
The Ay map now links to Adventure locations, not Explore.
You also now have the option to click on the Ara map and visit locations that way. :3

HAVE FUN, KIDS. And don't eat the magic seeds.

Artwork Listings
New Feature
Under the Community tab you'll find a brand new feature - the Artwork Listings!
Artwork Listings
Staff has heard concerns and worries from artists about not being able to get much exposure on the forums, leading to decreased sales. The Artwork Listings is a place where you can post designs you're selling (or more creative advertisement images if you'd prefer!) with a link to the forum thread you're selling those services. Hopefully, that way buyers can find your work easier!
Art commissions, pet designs, adoptables, design commissions, predict commissions, and SCC bases and psd sales are all welcome.
Enjoy! And as always, if you notice anything glitching about it, please let us know!
