Hello there everyone, my name is Miksa! I've been running around Aywas for quite a bit now working on saving up enough money for my own shop. Right as I got enough blue paws, Xero put his shop up for sale! It was just meant to be.
More like threw that shop in the trash and she picked it up. Ugh. If there were a trash can big enough for it, it'd be there. It was stinky and dirty and I HATED taking care of those pets. Good riddance.
Awww, now now. Pets create natural odors. Some are pleasant and some are... not ideal. The trick is to not put the smelly pets in a confined room! And the dirt just needed a broom and a pan to take care of. And maybe a mop.
Well at least that's not my problem anymore. Glad to hear you've fixed it up and are happy with it but I'm even gladder that I can leave it to you. *slinks away*
Indeed! I'll take good care of it, don't you worry.
And without further ado, I wish to present to you...
Miksa's Exotic Pet Emporium!
I thought this name would suite it much better.
And with the new name comes an entire new stock of pets! I found all of these pretty pets the past few weeks on some of my cataloguing missions and figured they'd be happy to have some loving homes.
I decided not to change the stock rotation schedule, however. As usual the stock will change every 3 months. After the 3 months, the pets currently in stock will be permanently retired and a new stock will replace them. So buy them while you can!
I've also found a few new pets out in the wilderness of the Aywas world. I couldn't make them tame enough to sell in the pet shop so I'll just show you them so you can catch them yourself.
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! There's also a chance that the designs accepted from that forum will go into the Pet Shop! Remember, you can earn SP!
If your design is now in the pet shop or in the new adventure release please contact Kyu (#1010) for your free copy.
You may notice that all the threads in the Pet Coloration Submissions Forum are new. Mauri (#1010) fixed up that forum a bit and a few things were changed.
All old threads were locked and moved to the archive. If she commented on one of your posts asking you to edit a design you posted, please post the new edited design in the new thread for that genus.
The forum now requires a form to be filled out to submit colorations. A main addition to the process is requiring .PSD files to be linked in the post when you submit the design. This should hopefully ensure that the site collection and the breeding artists have all .PSD files for any site pets added after this point. Please read the Pet Colorations 101 thread before submitting a design. Another point worth mentioning is we would prefer you linking the .PSD files via dropbox, sta.sh, or google drive, all of which are free to use. If a .PSD file for the pet is not linked with the design, your design will not be accepted.
This .PSD file requirement will soon spread to all contests and events that allow pets to be submitted to the site. This will include Monthly BP and GP shop pet threads and other event pet threads.
Phew! That's been quite a long news post so far. But I'm not done yet! (Hang in there, the end is soon!)
Along with the new Adventure pets, I've been given the fun task of pulling the tickets for the pet coloration submissions forum raffle! Oh, I just love these sorts of games!
Congratulations to m i s t y l e a �� (#43508) for winning a Bronze Custom Orb in our monthly pet submissions forum raffle! *Claps*
And one last little thing, Graymare (#14978) asked me to mention that the item that was known as "Hybrid Genus Vouchers" got a name change! It's now called "Seasonal Genus Vouchers". This should hopefully be a less confusing name since this item doesn't make Hybrid Pets.
And I think that should be it! I'm beaming like the sun; I'm just so happy. I'm in a bit of disbelief that I own my a pet store now. I hope everyone likes the new look and please don't mind the paint paw prints on the floor. I'm cleaning those up since a certain Pawpaint Unus tracked those in.

I think Miksa's too chipper for me, lol. It was an inevitable change though.
Are we eventually going to get a full picture with a background of Miksa's shop like we had when Xero ran the store? Because, honestly, I always thought that was kind of cool and I miss it already...

@Keys, I believe the old NPC, because they are Slash's OCs added to the site out of necessity, are being slowly removed from Aywas entirely. So other admins won't have to feel so awkward about playing someone else's personal characters.
The new ones are also intended to give a more diverse range of NPCs, as well as allow for more intense world building and history for Aywas, that isn't involved with the back stories of Slash's OCs.
At least, that is what I've heard. xD
I'm probably not correct on all points, but it seems reasonable to me.

I understand why changes are being made and these new npc's are taking the place of Slash's oc's, I do really love all the npc's be they Slash's original characters or these new Anthros, I just feel like there should be a place for slash's oc's as a sort of 'remembrance' page or something to show the history of the site? At least pictures? I don't want to have to go off-site to find these things >_< and I certainly don't want to forget them! I haven't been on Aywas as long as a lot of members, but I just feel like there should be something for nostalgia's sake. It's just something small that I personally would like. If not I'll just have to play wander off-site to find the history!

Need those unus and arions *-* Will Xero and the other original site characters ever get a recoloration so they look more modern and stuff along with the new Site characters? Its kinda clashing to see old/new together in the shops and around aywas >_
