Holiday Lane Arrivals
Pets
Anyone else notice that the Holiday Lane is feeling a bit chillier this week? We're getting closer!
A slew of animals must be sensing the coming magic, since they just popped up in the area (though not all of them look happy about it. I'm looking at you, Humbug Meep!).
(Btw, did you see that we cleaned up all the items in the Holiday Lane so they're transparent? Big thanks to Graymare making them pretty!)

Shop Stock Buttons
Site Update
When you put new items into your shop, the radio buttons will not default to BP or GP; they will be blank, so you have to manually choose one. Just another extra buffer to help mispricing fiascoes!
Please note that this only applies to items that you put in from here on out, not old/current stock.

3 Boxes + CCCOs & CCCCs
Items
It's time to reveal what the 3 Boxes item does!
This item's magic will be activated on the 25th and can be used any time after the big day!
When you go to use the item, you will be prompted to put in 3 different User IDs (you cannot enter your own). Upon hitting submit, the item will randomly select one of those three players to receive a Candy Cane Custom Crystal and a Candy Cane Custom Orb!
Speaking of our favorite holiday custom makers, they will be available on Saturday, December 22 for a full 24 hours. They will go in at approximately 11:59 p.m. on the 21st and leave at 11:59 p.m. on the 22nd.
Holiday Tree Tip: When gifting an item, BP or GP, make sure you always select an item and specify a quantity of 1 or greater. You wouldn't wrap up money in a box and give it to someone, would you?!
If you forget to enter in a quantity, we've fixed it so that you don't get that syntax error on the final page. Now you'll get a red alert saying "No quantity selected." before you can even move onto the confirmation screen. :3

Aymas - Day 2
Every day of Aymas, we're going to be granting five wishes from the Wish Thread, where you wish other users something special. This means that all together, sixty people will be having some extra special holidays!
Wish 6
By Trellwolf (#25293)
RaeMeian (#33564)
I wish she could get a Bottled Starlight, because she has a Lunaris design that she has been working on for months that is very special to her. She's made several customs for me without asking for anything in return, so I think it would be nice if she could make the custom that's so important to her.
Wish 7
By Altheora (#30554)
The Carolina Raptor Center is probably going to hit 1,000 birds of prey admitted in a single year--the first raptor center in the world EVER to hit such a number. ...Ever. Anywhere. Their funding is running scary-low--so low that funds for buying mice and rats is getting hard to come by. They're a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and could really use some rat-money in rehab to save these amazing birds.
Wish 8
By Swallowtail (#32599)
Ryuujin Youkai (#29071) is worth trying. You see, she's kind of the best friend I have, and while I try to do what I can to make her feel loved on here I just don't really have the means to and it hurts, because she's had a really tough year (heck, her whole freaking life's been tough) and I feel kind of helpless because no matter what I try, I'll never be able to get her enough to show her how much she means to me. Even so, if I can make a wish here for her, maybe someone will hear it? She's a collector, so I want to wish for either an Awesome Talisman or a/some Glittering Rock/s, and hopefully that would be enough to at least brighten her day...but if people could also tell her how awesome she is, that'd be great too. I just...really wish someone could at least make her smile. >.< I-I probably sound creepy...um, thanks for listening.
Wish 9
_naruto_ (#5053)
I would really like to Make a Wish for my Mum (thepretender (#4478) She has Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and has been very ill for the last few months, she loves her books and normally reads constantly upto 3 books a week, but now her hands are so bad that she can no longer hold books for more than a few minutes.. She really wants a Kindle of some kind or something similar, But its way out of our very tight buget..
I realise that this this is a really big ask but thought I'd put it forward..
Wish 10
By Esaria (#23447)
Storm #23558: I wish a Species in a Bottle so that she might make the seraph kitty SCCs I know she's been thinking of so that she might have some sort of online commemoration of her cats that have died, and Mini, the one who somehow ran away when visitors came and she got scared. Alternatively, I know she'd adore a PBC (or PBP) so that she might submit a pairing of her own this year <33
Keep wishing, folks!

TOS change - 12/15/2012
Rules
A new rule has been added to the Terms of Service:
- not manipulate official pet details (pet image, pet stats, pet breedability, etc.) in pet profiles through CSS or any other means
On the forums we had some fun with modifying the size of pet images, but this also led to the discovery that official pieces of data could be edited too, as well as unapproved images be placed over pet images. This opens up an avenue to cheating (imagine buying a pet with an image containing text showing it's breedable placed over the section saying it's not!), so this sort of activity is now disallowed.
However, when all pet profile capabilities are back up, you can still do fun things like change backgrounds, font colors, etc. and express your creativity through pet pages!

Aymas - Day 1
Every day of Aymas, we're going to be granting five wishes from the Wish Thread, where you wish other users something special. This means that all together, sixty people will be having some extra special holidays!
Wish 1
By Rector (#7191)
Osiem (#15860): Species in a Bottle - Osiem has been making SCC pet species and giving the PSD's away for free asking only for donations if you can afford it. She once said that she wished she had more SCC's solely so she could give the rest of us more pets. I think that kind of selflessness deserves a bit of a break from buying SCC's one at a time.
Wish 2
By Eveglori (#2775)
Mauri (#1010):
Wish: A bag or two of Nutro Large Breed Lamb and Rice (RL item)
Reason: Her service dog is allergic to other foods and this brand is the only one that she can stomach. It isn't exactly cheap, so I would love to be able to help her out and keep Cocoa fed for a while ^^
Wish 3
By Anon (#33507)
I wish the local charity Cat Guardians had some money sent their way. They're a no-kill shelter for feral cats, many of their cats have medical problems, and the fee charged for adoption isn't nearly enough to compensate for the full cost of caring for the cats, so they're always running off of fundraisers and donations. I'm sure any money sent to them would make a big difference.
Wish 4
Alisha (#16134)
Fluffy Horror (#998): I don't know if there is a proper item that could make it (might have to be an SCC?) but I'd like Fluffy to be able to make a gold-level custom hybrid, so whatever it takes to make that happen (and maybe an artist from the SCC team or the GCC team to do it for her?).
Wish 5
Frey (#90)
I wish for Pepperly (#10340) to get a PBC, because... he's worked for me for almost two years. Two years! He's made a billion and one awesome babies and been so patient of me for a long time... that's dedication right there. He needs something neat to use himself instead of making babies for everyone else.
Keep wishing, folks!

Santa showed up!
Items
On the first day of Christmas, Santa Lunaris gave to me...
All of the seasonal items have been stocked in their respective shops!
First, the new items:
Pebbles and shards are chance items, each costing 1 GP each. They make the perfect stocking stuffers. They have a chance of opening up into their respective item.
This, while deceptively similar to previous year Holiday Aywa Gifts, is a brand new one! Shocker, right? But! This one is going to contain one of six pretty hybrids or rares that Yoo is designing for us now =3
And now, some refreshments:
Stocking items were tweaked a bit. They won't be giving out Raw Blue Crystals anymore, but they will be giving out Eggnogs for those of you who remember Eggnogs from two Christmases back. Yay Eggnogs! The stockings will be the only way to get them. They are also the only way to get a Holiday Breeding Coin (with the exception of the random chance item, Random Breeding Coin).
This is the item famous for giving out pendants... so if you want to take your chances, dive right in. Oh yeah... Elaborate Stockings have a small chance of outputting pendants too...
Of course, you're familiar with these beauties... PBCs and their best friend the PBT will be available for two weeks, which gives you a chance to get them a little bit after Christmas if you happen to get some gifts that facilitate such!
Some familiar old friends are stocking in the BP Shop, too!
...and some GP Shop goodies!
If I forgot any seasonal items, let me know... I think I got 'em all!
Eri Edit: Holiday Items will be available through January 14th.
