Litespeed...
Site Update

Aywas is going to be upgrading to Litespeed, a server software that's about six times faster than Apache, what we currently have. That should solve a lot of our lag problems, let's hope. ;)
Due to this, we may be going offline for a while. Not sure yet. If you see the site go down, that's why!
EDIT: The transfer is complete. We are having some problems with Google Chrome so if you use Firefox you should not encounter any issues.

Earthquake!
Site Update
There was an earthquake!





Where is it? In real life - and it affected Japan and the neighboring areas. Donate $25.00 or more to any charity of your choice to help Japan and those who were affected, then send the receipt to me via email along with your aywas ID - [email protected] - and you will receive a Fossil Egg.
Here's a few possible places you can donate.
Even if you can't donate the full amount, please try to donate something - if you donate $10 or more, you are eligible for an onsite (virtual item) Kaz Plush. Whatever you do have the ability to donate will help a lot of people, no matter the amount!

Explore Add-ons
New Feature

Yasu is almost finished with Adventure (the recoded Explore) and wants to know if there are any events, quests, or encounters you'd like to see in the feature to make it more enjoyable.
For example, encountering a monster is an event. Finding BP is an event. Finding a traveling merchant is an event. Do you have any other event ideas?
The current way to quest is by killing monsters. Do you have any other ideas for questing (to level up in explore)?
The results of the robot customs will come a couple of hours after this. :)

...Hi ;~; Uh, my name is Kiran... I'm from the Ara Org too... we got some extra robot pets in late... and Nova is asleep... so... I'll give them away as customs? Sort of like how the contests are at the beginning of the month? Orion said it'd be good for my reputation...

Robot Day - 3/9/2011
Site Update

Nova says:
Hey! Listen up! If you don't already know me, I'm Nova, the super cool spokesman of the Ara Org (mostly because everyone's either too much of a wimp Kiran, too anti-social Orion and Aeron, too drugged up Asher, or hates you too much Peri to talk to any of you, so that's my job now, I guess? Lovely. <_<). You might remember me as the guy who is Cooler Than Rogue (TM) because I give out lasers. Yep, that's me.
So, the Ara Org is going to be Cooler Than The Ay Pantheon (TM) by giving you ROBOT DAY!!! Propaganda's pretty awesome, isn't it?
Robot Day: March 9

Mysterious Factory
First up is this Mysterious Factory (why do I have to bold names? It makes me have to type more >_<) where you can find all of these robotic...things that we configured based on prototypes provided by the artists. Thank goodness for artists, because we wouldn't have made this many otherwise <_<



....things
You'll find plenty of awesome new things





Things.
There are more familiar things in there, but again, you can figure out which ones yourself. e.e
Awww yeah I'm coming to the end of this news post...



These are special things that you can't get by looking in the Mysterious Factory - hahaha! Instead, you have to be online on Robot Day and you might get randomly sent one. On the other hand, you could also randomly get them from a Microchip, so I guess whatever suits your fancy. >_>
You also might get one of our speshul items (REMEMBER THESE?) by being online during Robot Day:


Cool stuff
Last, I'm obligated
Deadlines
Mysterious Factory merchant and treasure chests will go home at 12:00 AM on the 10th.
The explore area itself with all the pets will stay open until March 15th so you can collect all the pets.
....
Uh... uh... uh... yeah, I have nothing else. Thank goodness. I can go back to making lasers now. |:
