SEASONAL SHOP
Yes, it's finally here!
Took a couple things out, put a lot more in!
Go spend your candy canes and snowflakes!
The Seasonal Shop and Holiday Lane will be open until January 11th at 11:59 PM.
There's now a smorgasbord of items available to make collectors cry!
Just kidding, it's not that bad. Some items are familiar, others are new, so lets take a look at some new things!
More presents? Heck yeah.
This is the Leaning Tower of Presents and contains 3 random items.
One item is guaranteed to be some kind of stocking, the other two are completely random and will be from the Seasonal Shop.
The PBP is not included, however. Sorry, guys, the item is supposed to be very rare and very shiny! That, and Slash wants to make you cry.
You can, however, get a Leaning Tower of Presents from a Leaning Tower of Presents, which is fun! 8D
Make your HA festive and stylish with this fitting Santa set!
If you had half as much fun caroling as I did, you probably had a pretty darn good time, but you also probably want to smash some of these notes in frustration, so I'm giving you the next best thing--edible notes!
That's right, your four favorite notes in energy food form!
Note: In case you didn't have time to sing your songs around the neighborhood, I wanted to let you know that Caroling will remain open until the HL and Seasonal Shop close down.
Now, what's this snazzy box?
This, my friends, is the Holiday Hybrid Gift, and has contains nine hybrids in it that you won't find in Holiday Lane or the Seasonal Shop.
Potions, Potions!
The Snowflake Potion will give you a random pet from the Seasonal Shop (but excludes the two new hybrids). Feel like trying your luck? Then take a gamble on this item!
This is the Icecube Potion, which you've heard about a little already, you probably just didn't know it. It contains 12 pets of varying rarities that are not in the Holiday Lane or Seasonal Shop.
This potion is also stocking for 5 GP in the Cash Shop and replaced Delicious Eggnogs in the stockings and Pile of Gifts.
(Before anyone asks, yes, I am still doing Delicious Eggnog refunds and have about seven pages of blue messages to get to in my Inbox, but I will get to you ASAP, I promise!)
Here's a sneak peek of a few of the pets freezing in that Icecube Potion!
Decorated Phoenix Trees
These were accidentally put into the Seasonal Shop originally and have since been removed.
They are the only thing we will be offering a refund for.
You may turn in your DPT for either 9/10 Candy Canes (depending on your discount) OR an Icecube Potion.
Contact Visark (185) for all your Decorated Phoenix Tree exchange needs, and please let her know what you would like to trade it for in your initial PM--it speeds things up for both parties!
Moving on to collectables!
Nope, gotcha! The Holiday Candle and Paper Snowflake are two items that might cheer up a friend or make someone's day. Why not try sending a couple out to people who look like they could use a reminder of holiday spirit?
These are collectables, though:
Souvenirs of spending December 2011 here with us on Aywas. :3
What am I forgetting? Hmm. Oh, right!
These aren't new, of course, but I'm sure you're wondering how many of them are in your future.
We lowered the price on these in the Seasonal Shop, and since they were available through a couple methods throughout December, considering the number in circulation, we're going to put them in Holiday Lane, but only for 24 hours.
(Knowing us, you'll probably have a little extra time.)
I will give you a notice 24 hours in advance of the orbs and crystals going into Holiday Lane.
So they're not in there yet, but I'll let you know when they will be.
Now, onto the pet section!
We have a beautiful assortment of a whopping 18 holiday pets for you to choose from, plus the two new hybrid colorations!
Here's a small sampling of what you'll see in the shop:
Museum Collections
Don't forget to turn in your holiday collections!
Belsnickel
Did you find all the bells? If you did, you will be rewarded handsomely with a Holiday Silver Potion!
Christmas 2011 Plushies
Is your bed covered in Christmas plushies? If it is, be sure to turn them in, since your reward is a TV Christmas Dinner.
This is essentially a one-use TV Dinner, but gives you extra cooking rewards when you complete the recipe!
Or, it's supposed to. From the limited release so far, it looks like the bonus prizes weren't added in.
If you have one of these, or obtain one, please hold onto it.
We'll worry about refunds and such when it's fixed, but for now I'm trying to get Yasu to disable it for us.
New Holiday Lane Pets!
I uploaded the last batch of HL pets--twelve of them, to be exact, making an even 100 in the location.
I hope you enjoy them, I even colored one myself! :3
Note: If you had a pet accepted or are a colorist and don't see all of your creations, never fear, we're holding onto them for use as needed.
Breeding Season!
Don't forget that we're in hybrid breeding season!
You can also now find these colorations in the SP Shop!
The Holiday Tree is still up and wants more presents to keep it company, so lets put it to good use!
I know I still have a ton of gifts and thank-yous to send out with being so busy, so I'm sure plenty of you do too.
Still a lot of work, fixes and updates to come, but we hope you enjoy these things!
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding considering my situation, it is very much appreciated. <3
Merry AyMas!

it was stated that until this posting , all purchases were at your own risk, as some prices would change. sorry guys, but that sounds like no refunds : /

Actually it was stated after it was released for 2 days, so technically speaking everything who purchased before that point had not a clue. I was one of the bundles of people who helped myself to the seasonal shop shortly after seeing a forum post which lead me to believe it was open. None the less great updates here, Eri. The other pets you added to HL were so cute I just had to track them all down. Now if only I could use my Haunted House key, mayhaps that will be around sooner than later.
Merry late Christmas everyone, close enough.

Despite being relatively new and not having had an Aymas before, I know that anything that hasn't had a news post update is buyer beware. As a result, I don't believe there will be refunds.
Eri, great update! I'm enjoying myself during my first Aymas, and the pets are super adorable.

Well,if people would not jump the gun. People should know that big events like the SS always get a news post when it is open. Eri and company worked hard to get this to us. They could have been nasty and made the stuff bought before the SS was open just disappear.

I read in the forums, even from staff saying it was okay to purchase from the SS before the big news post. Plus lately news post have been very slow. I didnt jump the gun, I just listened to people. ;/ Und the caroling probably went down cause of a timer or they were fixing a glitch.

I thought caroling was staying open till the eleventh?

Great update but if only I had not bought two pets from the shop with my candy canes and am now down by 7 canes after the price drop, which meant I could have got the other one I wanted as well!
Is there any plan to refund those of us who paid the old prices? Rhetorical question as I can see that there is not from the post.
Not a happy player here at all since I feel cheated by this site yet again.
