Happy New Year!
Let's start this one off with a pet explosion. :3
Our New Year GP Shop pets are beaming with pride and are excited to usher in 2013!
The New Year BP Shop pets are following close behind and glowing with hope!
If you colored one of these stunning pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will make fireworks out of your crayons.
The Essence of January 2013 starts off a new year of flower-themed essences!
Use this snowdrop-inspired one on your active pet to change it into one of the January 2013 monthly pets.
Meet the Oxen Lunaris!
If you have a January birthday, be sure to visit Aywas on your big day to take home this hardworking, warmhearted pet.
The premium monthly item for January is the Mysterious Light Box. By using this item, you will unlock a gorgeous fireworks site theme! Here's a peek at the image:
Doesn't get much prettier or more celebratory than fireworks over water at night!
We also have our usual assortment of monthly contests!

We have a ton of awesome things planned for January and beyond!
Yasu and I are working on a mix of fixes and new surprises, so here's a little sneak peek at what you can look forward to:
- Tranqs and other uncoded items being assigned a use. This has been an ongoing priority for a long time, but you'll get to see a lot of the results soon! Tranqs are actually usable /in/ battle now, but we're still doing some tweaks.
- Related to the above, but also to user suggestions, we will be adding some awesome Adventure items. Two highlights are a Grappling Hook that'll help you jump ravines and a pretty sweet Vial of the Battle Soul that will swap pet stats.
- Restoring customization to pet descriptions/look-ups. We've already re-enabled a few codes, but we're not there yet!
- Turning vouchers into items & expanding custom makers. If you spied the Welcome Back page roughly a month ago, you probably saw a huge influx of new items that looked pretty snazzy. A decent portion of these items will be replacing vouchers (like for Neura breedings or metal Lunaris customs).
- The coveted Quick Stock feature should be released relatively soon.. if staff can stop finding ways to break it! XD
What else can we toast to this month?
For starters, a new Ara location, a new Raw pet, hybrid season mid-month (so we can recover a little from the holidays!), and more!
In the spirit of fun things and fresh starts, why not share your 2013 Aywas Resolutions with us?
I also wanted to take a quick moment to say thank you for sticking it out with me over the last year!
I couldn't ask for a better community to work for or a more creative, fun atmosphere to be in, and each of you contribute to this ambiance with your compassion, silliness, and talents. I am really looking forward to what we'll accomplish and enjoy together this year. It'll be a crazy ride, but I don't think we'd want it any other way. <3
Let's get ready to have an awesome year here on Aywas!
