Site Update
Good evening, folks!
I have an important, short and sweet announcement that I want everyone to read carefully. As of today, Slash is taking a well-deserved hiatus from the site for an undetermined amount of time (hey, running Aywas for twenty-four hours, seven days a week for over two years has to earn you a little vacation time, right?). He is not disappearing or leaving and we will continue to be in contact through the duration of his hiatus. Similarly, he will still be handling payments, Melo Figurines, and other goodies in the background.
In the meantime, I will be running things for him--yes, that means I have access to coders, artists, etc.--and will be using my staff to its full potential in order to keep things running as smoothly as possible. There really won't be any noticeable day-to-day change and I'm always a message away if you have a question or concern!
Lastly, remember to please be mindful and respectful. I understand that this will be a bit jarring, but I won't tolerate abrasive comments.
*rubs hands together* Now, let's see what we can get done! I've got a lot of fixes planned for Yasu's to-do list, so
I'll see how much torture he can take. Rebel hasn't been in contact with us recently, but we're hoping it will be soon since I have plenty for him to tackle as well.
Thanks for your understanding!

Metal Custom Event
Pets
Have at 'em! You can only collect one pet per 30 minutes, so hopefully they'll last longer this time.

Halloween Features
New Feature
Great job on unlocking the Halloween features! While the Haunted House and the Battledome may be under some construction while we address the lag issue, here are some tidbits about the other new features.
Garden
In the Garden you'll find various witch brew plants growing. The garden tells you which ones are in the process of growing so you can know when to come back to the page and check later. You'll want to grab as many as you can (though there are limits on harvesting) as you'll be needing them in the Giant Cauldron.
Giant Cauldron
This is where customs are born! Hundreds of Halloween customs are lined up in the Giant Cauldron. You'll need to collect plants from the Garden to get the recipes, though, so you'll want to start harvesting. You'll always need a cauldron to do it - either a Special Cauldron (r100) or an Empty Cauldron (r5).
Empty and Special
Common pets require an Empty Cauldron and 3 plants as ingredients (in various amounts), uncommon pets require an Empty Cauldron and 4 plants as ingredients, hybrids require a Special Cauldron and 5 plants as ingredients, and rares require a Special Cauldron and 6 plants as ingredients.
Frankenstein's Lab
This is where you can create some really awesome looking site pets by combining items found in the Haunted House. Common pets require three items in various amounts, uncommons require four, hybrids require five, and rares require six.
You can see the recipes you can attempt by viewing the page, then you can select one you'd like to try.
Treasure Chests
Chests were a little derped with people opening them without keys. Soon as they're fixed and reset, you'll be able to obtain ONE key by finishing the Haunted House's quests and battling the monster boss at the end. Then, you get to try your luck on one of the chests... you could win big, or small... but you'll win something!
Happy haunting!

Lag Issue * UPDATE *
Site Update
Hey guys!
As most of you are aware of, the site lag has gotten pretty annoying =/ In order for me to help determine what's causing the lag, I will be disabling a few areas of the site. If you happen to access a page that says it's under maintenance, just check back in a minute or two.
*** UPDATE ***
We have started to disable multiple scripts on the site to see if we can pin point which ones are causing the lag on the site. The Adventure, Battle, Battledome, and Explore systems will be disabled temporary until we figure out which one of them is slowing the site. As we determine which are doing what, we will enable them one by one and hopefully rid ourselves of this lag problem =/
As well, we intend on disabling other scripts around the site to see how much much more the site improves with them down. Those scripts will be re-enabled soon after we have completed out tests.

Stage 2
Site Update
You're all bound to move onto Stage 2 shortly...
Why not acclimate yourself to the Battledome? You'll be needing it soon!
Enjoy!
There are monsters between all of you and the Halloween features. You won't let that get in your way, will you? Kill 'em!
