Advent Reminder!
Items
Don't forget to snag your Love Life Gift Bag from the Advent Calendar before the day is over!
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

Item Fixes
Items
Yasu seems to have been able to resolve the issues with Egg Timers, so they have been enabled once more.
If you notice any problems with them, please contact me right away, thanks!
The regenerating problem with the Tsunami Potion has been fixed!
*wipes away tear of joy*
You might still need to contact me for a refund if you used your potion before the fix, but otherwise, you'll see that bad bottled wave popping up in your Newest Items every three months!
Back to Adventuring we go!

Love Life Seasonal Shop!
Site Update
Lorin looooves his job running the Seasonal Shop, so he's going to tell us about the new things he's stocking for Love Your Life Day!
... hmm, that's funny, he was right here a minute ago.
Oh well, I'll take over explaining until he gets back!
The seasonal shop is stocking special goodies for custom, pet and HA lovers alike!
It will be open through July 1st at 11:59 PM, so plan ahead to get all your treats! n_n
Introducing the Phoenix Feather!
This will let you upload a custom of our Phoenix friend with up to 30% edits, but you must use it by July 2nd at 11:59 PM. After that, you can create one via Silver Potion with permission from Chianya (#12264).
Click for the PSD. :)
You can put together an adorable, summery ensemble with the mix and match pieces in the human avatar collection! Lorin is stocking everything from wearables to holdables and even some scenery!
Here's some previews:
For our pet lovers, we have fifteen pets that either embody a fun, inspiring activity or are honoring life in memorial form. Here's a little preview of the pets you'll find in the shop:
The Love Life Potion will turn your active pet into one of these limited-edition pets! Yes, it is possible to get the hybrids and lunari from a quick swig of this bottle. :3
The I Heart U card is a friendly little item that you can send to another user. They will be greeted with a sweet notification telling them how much you mean to them, so stock up on 'em for rainy days when someone is feeling down, or just for when you want to make someone's day a little more special.
We've turned those rainbows you've been chasing into an animated fauna called The Rainbow. What a perfect "pet" for your colorful customs!
All day tomorrow, you will also be able to pick up this goodie bag from the Advent Calendar!
It contains a Love Life Potion, an I Heart U card, a collectable Life Ribbon not sold in the shop, and a little bit of BP. :)
We hope you're enjoying everything! Chianya put a lot into this event for you!
Remember, you can continue to find rainbows through June 30th at 11:59 PM. :3

PSD Call, Secret Surprise, Explore Pets, and Pet S
Pets
Putting a call out for ALL SITE PET .PSDS!
I'm looking at you site artists especially.
While we try to collect as many site pet .PSDs as we can, we have a small fraction of PSDs for the pets currently on site. If you're the original artist and didn't send in the .PSD yet, DO IT NOW please.
Send all site pet .PSDs to [email protected]
Please note this is not the same email as the breeding email. I do my best to forward over as many as I can so the artists have access to them but they need to be in aywas.pets first and foremost.
I just ask that you either name the .PSDs the pet name, or put the pet name in the email (especially if you want to send a zip folder) so we can search for it.
I sense change in the air! I wonder what this could be...
Well whatever it is, it might happen soon!
If you submit Aywas (not Ara) common species designs to the pet submissions forums this next week, something special may happen with them!
For now, here are this week's explore pets!
Next week's bonus explore pets are the Phanto, Reve, and Soli!
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!
This is the last warning: The Little Pet Shop of Horrors pets will be leaving the shop come July. Please buy them soon if you want them!

Who says Aywas isn't all rainbows?
Site Update
RAINBOWS. *_*
These are account-locked points that you can find in Adventure! They'll be making the regions a little more colorful through June 30th at 11:59 PM. :)
I'm going to watch the numbers for a day or so and then toss some fun items into the Seasonal Shop. It's currently empty, but it'll track your rainbow point total for you.
Go snatch some rainbows!

Story Game & Fixes!
Site Update
Sennara's Story Game results are here!
Winner: Paint (#25432)
Prize: Custom Item package
Congratulations!
Click here to go to this week's contest!
Here's a couple glitch-related updates for you!
The error with Nets has been fixed. :) If you encounter any problems with them, please post on the bug board so we can address it.
The issue with fights not loading that appeared a few days ago has also been remedied, so you should be able to battle to your heart's content!
You can once more access your Wardrobe!
There is one teensy weensy problem, though. In order to fix the error with the Wardrobe, we had to sacrifice the drawers to it. :C All your wearable items are still intact, but you will notice that your drawers are gone, meaning you'll have to remake and re-sort your items. I know that this is a pain, but it was either that, or no working wardrobe for a while.
Strangely enough, the adventure and wardrobe problems were related, and Yasu made some adjustments to the tables so that the problem should not occur in the future. :3

Love Your Life Day!
Site Update
A community-focused user event brought to Aywas by Chianya (#12264) and a Slashbot.
Life might give you lemons, but Aywas gives you Love Lemons. <3
This event marks the end of our user event marathon for a little while, so enjoy this one!
"Sometimes we all need to be given a reason to love life, and once we have that reason, we start to see many other reasons that we hadn't noticed before. This event strives to make you love your life on Aywas a little more, in the hopes that it will drive you to realize other reasons to love your life that you may have overlooked in the past. So during this event, please take some time to remember those who have passed on, as well as those whom were taken away from the world against their will. Then please take some more time to reflect upon the reasons that you have to love your life, large or small." -- Chianya

While participating in these threads, please be sure to be mindful of the ToS so as not to discuss inappropriate topics. Thank you!
We will be having a lot of fun with this event over the next few days and have some awesome goodies planned, but here's a sneak peek at one if you want to get started a little early. ;)
A phoenix, symbolizing blazing rebirth and a thrilling existence.
Have fun!
