Explore Pets & Renovations!
Pets
Mauri's away this weekend due to personal reasons so I'm filling in again!
Let's see, first up is Explore Pets!
Next week's bonus explore pets are the Vyne, Rogr and Lacer!
If you color one of the above species and have it accepted, you'll receive 10 GP per coloration accepted instead of the normal 3GP!
If you want to design some, go and post them in their respective threads here!
In order to finalize construction the the Little Pet Shop of Horrors pets have been removed for their safety!
A new supply of pets will be available once renovations are complete, so keep an eye out for those!

Welcome to July!
Site Update
July has arrived with some cool treats and hot weather pets!
Let's kick off the new month with a parade of 18 brand new monthly colors! :3
These 9 beautiful summer-loving pets can be found in the GP Shop:
And these 9 outdoor fun pros can be found in the BP Shop:
If you colored one of these stunning pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
You get the payment that corresponds to the contest you entered.
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or we'll have to hide your crayons.
Crafted from the finest rubies, this potion is the Essence of July 2012.
It will randomly change your active pet into one of the colors above and can be found in the GP Shop!
Floating down from the newly-turned July sky is our latest monthly Lunaris in the Chinese Zodiac collection--the Goat!
The premium monthly item for July is this adorable Kiddie Pool, which was designed with your parched pet in mind! It will refresh your pet by performing a full restore of Energy, Hunger, AU and HP--but that's not all! Not only does this item regenerate once a day, but you can use it on your pet while it's in or out of battle directly from your inventory. Enjoy!
July 2012 Hybrid Breeding Season is coming up!
It will be held from July 3rd - July 10th.
And because I'm awesome, here's a very helpful preview for one of the new creatures you'll be able to breed!
A new set of monthly contests has been posted!
August Monthly Pets - GP Shop
August Monthly Pets - BP Shop
August Monthly Customs - Olympic Games Theme
It seems that a new area of the Ara region has been discovered...
The Seaside!
The Seaside will be opening after Adventure is integrated into the system, which we are aiming to complete in a week!
Currently, Explore is the integrated system, and that's why many features and stats are still tied to it. In order to have Adventure work properly, we need to move ahead with phasing out Explore and replacing it with Adventure, which has been planned for well over a year. Instead of having two broken, competing systems, we are going to finally have one that we can incorporate all of our favorite features into and then go forward with really cool items and new games and features!
What else is coming this month?
Oh, that's right!
The hunt is running July 13 - July 20 2012.
Will you be ready?
aka, get lots of sleep now, while you still can. |:
Back I go to being a busy bee behind the scenes!

Chianya also wanted me to give a little shout out Kaze (#989)'s thread, Love Your Life; Live Your Dream, as it is incredibly relevant to the current event. It's a feel-good read, fun to participate in, and has been around for a while. We should keep this spirit going strong all the time. :3
