*Welcome to December, the most wonderful time of the year!*
Cuddle up with one of our beautiful GP Shop pets on a chilly evening this month!
And have one of our lovely new BP Shop pets light your way this season!
If you colored one of these perfectly themed 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 magic them into coal.
Looking for a stocking stuffer for a pet or item collector? Have a potion lover or gambler on your list?
Why, then I recommend the Essence of December 2013, now stocking in the GP Shop!
This pretty little flower will change your active pet into one of the December monthlies shown above.
The premium monthly item is a Cart of Geodes and will hopefully assist you in treating yourself or a friend!
This item regenerates once a week and will yield 3 random geodes with every use.
Our monthly Lunaris is caught in a flurrious snowstorm, but will arrive as soon as possible, and we'll make sure it gets a nice warm welcome when it lands in our world for December babies! (No worries, if your birthday has elapsed, we will ensure that you receive your starry pet!)
The new monthly contests have been announced!
January Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
January Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
January Monthly Customs
Theme: Chinese New Year
Good luck with your entries!
Our favorite Nova custom items have moved to the Premium Shop, where they will reside for the full month of December. In January and February, they will migrate back to the GP/BP Shops.
We also have some extra special things in the air this month...
Ho ho ho, I have returned for another month of merriment!
Now, here's one Lunaris that can definitely handle severe snowy skies!
Make sure to visit Santa Lunaris every day in December at the Advent Calendar to collect a free prize!
Your favorite holiday greeting cards, the Merry AyMas Card, can now be found stocking in the BP Shop! When you select the Use option on the card, the user you send it to will receive a notification that says: (Sender name and ID) thinks you are special and wished you a Merry AyMas!! Stock up on these to send to friends and strangers alike to make their day a little brighter. <3
Coding Corner!
- Our pet uploader now works, hooray! It was a bumpy ride, but we got the pets home safely. :3
- We know that the site is experiencing lag (trust us, it's super fun to try and work through). Yasu is trying out some different solutions, so we'll try and get everything up to speed as soon as we can. He's playing around with disabling some things to see what kind of an impact that has on lag, so please bear with us while we pinpoint the problem(s)!
- Behind the scenes, we'll be very busy elves this month, working to polish things up and bring you some new surprises!
- Also, if you participated in NaNoWriMo, we haven't forgotten about you! Stay tuned for a news post dedicated to your prizes this week.
The snowy, peppermint-scented holiday adventure region will be released soon! We want to make sure it's in tip-top shape before letting you hooligans in! (I say that with love and include myself in the hooligan group.)
But we have opened up a path to a very special tree in the meantime...
The Holiday Tree has returned and is ready to watch over as many presents as you can tuck under it until December 25th!
(It is also linked up under Community.)
If this is your first Aymas and this gloriously decorated tree is new to you, here's the basics! On the main tree page, at a quick glance you can see how many gifts have been sent in total by all players site-wide, as well as how many you have waiting for you. Your button options are:
Give Present - I expect you'll be hitting this one a lot, so be gentle! You don't want to wear it out. ;) Clicking this button will take you to a screen where you can choose to gift either an item or a pet. From there, you can choose a specific player or a random one, decide if you want to be anonymous or not, select your gift, and enter a message, etc. There's also a handy dandy confirmation screen built in!
Holiday Tree Tip: When gifting an item, BP or GP, make sure you always select an item and specify a quantity of 1 or greater. You wouldn't wrap up money in a box and give it to someone, would you?! If you DO try to send someone an item without specifying a quantity, you will get an error before you make it to the confirmation screen, but it will also clear anything you've put in the fields, so take your time when filling the gift form out.
Also, I would suggest NOT using HTML in messages for now. If you have a design or PSD you are gifting someone, to be safe I would just paste the raw link in until I get the green light from Yasu.
Most Needy Stockings - This is a list of users that have the least amount of goodies waiting for them. Help bump them up off of that list!
View Your Gifts - Clicking this will take you to a page that displays the wrapped gifts waiting for you to open. You will only be able to open them anytime on or after December 25th!
Gift History - This tab will enable you to review all of the presents you've sent out, which should make crossing people off of your list much easier. Now you won't have to wonder if you already left a friend a gift under the tree. :3
Remember, you can send gifts all month, but they will not be openable until December 25th. ;) No pEEking.
If you have any problems with or suggestions for the tree, please let us know!
Now, let's get ready to have a very Merry Aymas!

*stares at pile of school work* I would feel selfish doing homework for Myself when I could be gifting people. Especially this time of year xD
I shall do homework tomorrow. First Christmas on Aywas and it looks amazing!

Aww, that's a shame about the secret santa, but at least if there is a wishlist feature that will make it easier to give specific things to people X3

Hey guys, on the note of the monthly lunaris, I'm -still- waiting for mine to be switched out (I should have the August one). I've pm'd Visark about it a few times and continue to not get any kind of response, so am kind of at a loss here.
