Art Gallery & AyMas Updates

Site Update

And a ho-ho-ho-happy.. Tuesday? to you all!
For those of you who celebrated a holiday this weekend, I hope it was wondrous and filled with cheer!
.. And less stressful and tiring than mine. XD

At the risk of being cornered by sharpened Candy Canes and buried alive under Snowflakes, I want to let you know that the Seasonal Shop is not quite ready, but it'll be open as soon as possible and be welcoming guests for a full week once it does. Things have been a bit of a bumpy sleigh ride behind the scenes, but our big Christmas bang is still to come!

Let me get a couple of updates out of the way so that we can focus on the goodies when they're ready!

The Art Gallery has been judged!
Last week's theme was Gift Giving and we had plenty of positively adorable entries, but these six ultimately stole the gift-giving heart!

This week's theme is the New Year!
We'll also be adding more themes soon so that you can brainstorm your future entries.
If there's a specific focus, medium, etc. that you would like to see featured by the Art Gallery, feel free to toss out some ideas! :3

Eggnogs
(I'm talking about the Delicious Eggnogs here, not the non-alcoholic ones. *wink*)

Do not be fooled by its delicious-looking spiced sprinkles or its sweet, dainty glass--this drink is a sneaky trickster!
.. or was just way too comfy in the old items from last year.

Eggnogs were not supposed to be re-released this year per Frey's request, but the items weren't updated as they should have been, so I'm going to guide you through this little coding snafu while we fix things up. We'll make it, I promise!

If you received an Eggnog from a stocking or the Pile of Gifts and did not use it, you can send it to me in exchange for 5 GP.
(Everyone who sent me one up to this point should have received a PM along with their GP refund by now.)

If you used your Eggnog for a breeding, please contact Kyu (1010), who is a love and will be taking care of refunding you. Successful breedings get automatically refunded by her. If you had a failed breeding, talk to Kyu and she'll see what she can do.

Stockings and the Pile of Gifts are NOT updated yet, so if you have any of these items, please hang onto them until I make an announcement saying you've got the green light to tear into them once more.

Note: I'm only asking you not to use them because the eggnogs are still inside. Slash said the other items are fine.

Eggnog is going to be replaced with a special potion that will also be stocking in the Cash Shop for 5 GP, so everything should even out. :3

The Holiday Wardrobe is not quite usable yet, but will be soon!
We'll make an announcement for you when you can try on all the new festive clothing.

My goal is to have everything completed and working asap so I can put everything in a huge announcement with the seasonal shop, but we'll play it by ear!
I appreciate your understanding and apologize for being unable to update you guys sooner.

Seriously I don't see why people are getting so worked up... I think I sent the right thing, it at least matched the image in the update and 5GP? I'm all for it ;) and YAY UPDATES WITH COLORFUL ART!

Thanks for the update! Secretly I am wondering though if Eri doesn't want all the Delicious Eggnogs so she can skip the first 12 months of next year in a happy stupor. O.O Or maybe the site was trying to drive the staff nuts? Frey with breedings, Yasu with people up in arms over glitches, Eri and Slash buried in PM's. Hehehe Seriously though no worries it's still been great Christmas!

Thanks for the update! I already opened all my stockings, but there weren't any nogs inside, so I guess it all evens out. :3
