Site Update
Welcome to a bright, fresh new month here on Aywas! We're taking a break from drinking to spring to bring you a slew of new goodies!
Kicking off March is a parade of lush GP Shop pets!
And our new BP Shop pets are excitedly standing just inside the shop doors waiting for you to bring them home!
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 feed your crayons to the leprechauns. Yes, Aywas has leprechauns.
Toast to March with the Essence of March 2013!
If you're feeling lucky, use this daffodil-adorned potion to change your active pet into one of our beautiful March 2013 monthlies!
Gracing our skies this month is the Rabbit Lunaris!
If you have a March birthday, be sure to swing by Aywas on your special day and collect your birthday present!
Monthly Premium Item
The Lovegram Box will be openable in a few days; we will make an announcement when the item is useable!
We will also be updating the March Premium Item as soon as we can!
I promise they're both pretty neat items and will be worth the wait, so thank you for being so understanding while we get this all back on track. <3 If your premium time is borked due to the downtime, don't forget to post on the Premium Fixes thread if you haven't already. I'll be working through that as speedily as I can and will leave you a profile comment when your time has been restored.
The new monthly contests have been announced!
April Monthly Pets - BP Shop
April Monthly Pets - GP Shop
April Monthly Customs
Theme: Gardens
(Note: This can be any sort of garden you want, so don't be afraid to branch out from a standard flowering garden. :3)
Coding Corner
Yasu has been working on overdrive for the last month to simultaneously repair downtime-related issues and tackle normal problems (such as the crons). We're working through issues one at a time as quickly as we can and are hoping to have Aywas back in tip-top shape as soon as the fates allow!
Restored and new accounts are two of our biggest ongoing hurdles. We'll have more updates tailored specifically to users in these two groups, and I really appreciate your patience during this awkward transitional time. We are putting together a "care package" of compensation for those who needed an account reactivation, so look forward to an update about that!
I also wanted to let everyone know that we will be resuming accepting new member applications again relatively soon. What does this mean for you? This means that there is going to be a HUGE wave of new players joining our community all at once. We have 800+ pending applications that I will be going through this week and I would very much appreciate it if you could take a moment to welcome these people to our community when they arrive. :3
March Events & Announcements
We are going to try and squeeze every last drop of goodness out of March to make the most of this fun, fresh month! Here's a sneak peek at some of our goals and some dates to be mindful of!
Love Fest Seasonal Shop is targeted to open this Saturday, March 9th, and will be open for a week. Love Letters will be findable through March 16th.
* User Slashbot event(s). These got rattled around due to the downtime, so I will be reaching out to those of you who had things planned for February/March to get them goin'!
* New Adventure location will be finally released this month!
- March 8th: Updated deadline for Moderator Applications.
- March 15th: New Raw pet is introduced, but the Tordoka remains until the 31st.
- March 17th: St. Patrick's Day! Small-scale St. Patrick's Day event.

Nice updates! Question about the premium item though. A lot of us accidentally got two premium items because the downtime reset it or something. What should we do with the second one if we accidentally got it twice?

We wouldn't be able to properly collect any duplicate Lovegram Boxes, so you can keep or discard if you got an extra.
