It's Love Letter bombing time!
We have a lot of new players and many who will be experiencing Valentine's Day on Aywas for the first time this year, so let's show them how it's done and brighten each others' days with some sweet messages. <3
Here's how the Love Letter event works!
Love Letters are now R20 and are stocking in the Random Crap shop, but you might see them turn up elsewhere, too!
(We'll see how R20 goes.)
Every time you send a unique card, you and the recipient get one Valentine Point which you will be able to spend in the Seasonal Shop. It doesn't have anything in it now, but it will on Valentine's Day (for a full week starting on Valentine's Day, to be precise)! For now, you can just pace around in anticipation!
To send a card to someone for Valentine Points, click on the Love Letter in your inventory and hit Use to bring up the prompt. We've added a confirmation screen this year to ensure your letter gets delivered to the right address!
I'm going to do a point breakdown for you here as well so that there's no confusion. We want to spread the love around this year, so that means only unique cards earn points.
Point Breakdown
If I send you a card, we both get one point!
If you want to send me a card in return, we both get one point again!
So that is two points for each of us for a card swap.
Now, if I go to send you a card again, that's a lovely gesture and I'm sure you'll be happy with the card (I hope you are, anyway, that came from my heart! :C), but neither of us receive additional points.
Make sense? :3
You can view your Love Letters and current point total here! To make things easier for you, this year we have also added a Letters Sent tab so that you can see who you've already given a letter to!
If you're looking for somewhere to arrange letter swapping and sending, try swinging by Aywas Talk!
Now, lets let those Love Letters fly!
(Oh, and make sure you take a look at the awesome news post below about Gold Paint Brushes and our newest item, Life Seeds!)

Cash Shop stuff
Items
Life Seed
This is a pretty cool little item.
A Platinum compatible breeding upgrade that lets you start the seed of your Silver Species right off the bat. Get a second offspring with your breeding. 90% - metal recolor of your first, 10% - with edits and recolor to your first.
If your breeding hasn't been assigned yet and you want me to inject this item into your breeding, send it to me and post in the Platinum Status thread. Put the full breeding info in your post.
Put the item image in your post too so I don't skip it by accident. If I delete your post, the addon was injected into your breeding.
Gold Paintbrushes
These are back in the cash shop for a week.
Regarding the shelter event, you purchased 122 Shelter Hearts. I bought the necessary 3 remaining ones so you can hit the 75% threshold. So you raised $937.50 total -- good job.

Shelter Hearts
Items
The Shelter Hearts event is nearing its end. You have twenty four hours left to purchase a Shelter Hearts item. Remember, 50% of proceeds made from this item go toward West Suburban Humane Society, the shelter I got my cat from.
You have, as a userbase, purchased 89 Shelter Hearts. If you purchase 125 Shelter Hearts, I'll donate 75% of the proceeds to the shelter. If you manage to purchase a total of 150 Shelter Hearts, I'll donate 100% of the proceeds to the shelter (meaning $1500 total).
