Site Update
If you remember back when we hired our new April programmer, we had first embarked on the task of updating the deprecating Amazon payment scripts with our main programmer. Essentially, Amazon decided to completely get rid of their old payment system and move to a new one, which is fairly normal for payment processors (you saw it happen with Google Wallet, for instance).
Unfortunately it seemed like we hit EVERY SINGLE snag along the way. Feedback from our main programmer indicated that the new Amazon payment system was very poorly documented, confusing to implement, and their support team wasn't exactly much help with solving problems.
It has seriously taken some three months to get to this point... but... we have FINALLY gotten this finished!
Apologies, as you may have noticed that the original Amazon method of purchasing (the previous one) died a couple of days ago. They actually canceled it on June 1 but let us process payments a bit longer because we were having so much trouble getting the new one implemented. But now it works with the new system, "Pay With Amazon."
To celebrate finally getting over this ridiculously difficult hurdle, let's see what we have!
Blue Species Crystal
$25
This item will allow you to upload a 50% edited SCC pet (from any species that has been founded). Please put a link to the Silver Database Entry for the species when you submit a pet with this item within the comments. Obviously, you need to either own the species, or have bought a PSD use.
The staff are in the process of discussing raising the breeding limit for SCCs up to 50% difference. We will let you know what our decision is when we come to a consensus. If you would like to share your feedback about raising the limit, please do so in the comments.
For every $5 you spend until the 26th at 11:59 PM, you will get a Mystery Box Ticket. The Mystery Box isn't funding anything new, but it feels great celebrating for getting over a three month programming hurdle. It'll be very useful for paying all of these recent artist raises, though!
These are automatic for GP purchases, but if you buy USD Items, pm me with the total amount spent and what you got, and I'll send you the tickets.
Now that the Amazon hurdle is out of the way, these little guys can finally get some programming time! We're hoping to have them ready soon. It's been hard trying to get to them, but at least we don't have that huge payment coding issue in the way anymore.
They actually have a small "quest" feature associated with them, and we hope that you find it enjoyable. It will make creating custom Sevryns a little more interesting than the average pet species.
This odd looking creature will be getting its own feature soon, too...

I put an order through a few hours ago for some USD shop items (in total equaling $50) and have not yet had the invoice through to pay for them so when I do pay, will it still be eligible for Mystery Box Tickets as the payment will have gone through after the MBT's where announced? <3 :3 <3 *is hoping she hasn't lost out on awesome mystery box tickets*

Would we be able to use our usd bonus from the collect bonus page to get the mystery tickets? (looks at $78 credit)

Sharni&Starfy (#4917) I held onto them because I didn't want you guys to miss out on this, so you'll get that soon.
The_Maddy_Master (#67469) Mystery box tickets don't come out with bonus credit, that's usually for other stuff.

Oh my gosh, using the credit would help clear it out and be awesome. <3

If you want a hint, there was a thread once that had a very similar concept =)
