Welcome to the jubilant month of June!
The summer-lovin' GP Shop pets are having a blast!
But the BP Shop pets know the season happens fast, so snag 'em before they drift away!
If you colored one of these adorable pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-June) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
The new Essence of June 2016 is fantastically Apollo-themed! How cool is that?
The monthly premium item is the Psychic Call, an item that will teach a new skill to your active pet. You'll be able to use this skill once a day during Adventure to call a pet to battle.
It'll let you choose any R1 - R5 pet that's available in that region!
So be sure to select an active pet that's your favorite Adventure pet!
The Deer Lunaris is here to celebrate those who have June birthdays. Hope all of you born during this month love the new Lunaris that's touched down from the heavens for you! =)
Remember to visit the birthday link on your personal holiday to receive a gift from Aywas!

A monthly update from behind the scenes!
This month is going to be seeing a lot of behind-the-scenes work. PayPal has updated a lot of its security requirements as of June, and as a result we need to update a lot of our payment systems to be compliant with the new requirements.
Some of these requirements involve us having to update server software. This means that likely sometime during this month we will have to pull the site offline for some hours to ensure that the server is re-imaged properly as the new software is updated. We do not know yet when this will be happening but ideally it will be during our nighttime hours.

We're pleased to usher in a brand new batch of Jeweled Crystal Pets from our monthly artist, Aros (#4353). Be sure to thank Aros for these fantastic creatures!
The Rock Custom Crystal is now back with a brand new artist -- Kirara (#11849)! Kirara will now be delivering you a scrumptious new SCC base to color every month!
This month brings you a cool looking armadillo creature for you to use your RCCs on! And who knows what might be coming the next month... hm! With the new bases rotating in again, the old ones are going to retire once more, and be available only through the Rock Crystal Wand, which stocks in the BP Shop.
The older Osiem bases will retire to the wand on June 16, so if you want to use your Rock Custom Crystals to submit them, then please do so before then!
Enjoy the new art and everything to come!
The new SCC Commission feature is ready to launch! If you have an SCC, start by submitting your SCC as a ticket to the feature, select your artists, and you're good to go!
How this feature works is that when your artwork is completed and submitted for payment to the artist, it will be automatically uploaded for you. No more lengthy waits! =)
The SCC Artist position via this feature has also been raised to $25 per pet, from this point forward.
The Silver Custom Crystal is the main item used with this feature - use the crystal as a ticket to get the artwork and have it uploaded. However, that's not the only option.
The Species Statue is an item used to commission SCC artwork only (no upload) and can be found in the USD Shop for $35.
The Magical Species Statue is an item used to commission SCC artwork with a 10% chance of uploading the SCC for you as a custom pet. It can be found in the BP Shop for a whopping 75,000,000 BP.
Please note that we reserve the right to remove the Magical Species Statue from the BP Shop without warning - we're trying it out there for now. :)
That's it for now! Look forward to the announcement of the brand new Raw Crystal Pet in the next coming days, as well as the Monthly Customs Game!

Osiem's bases are beautiful too, it's a shame to stuff them away on a different item when they were stated to be available indefinitely after Osiem quit. :/ I like Kirara's work a lot, it just seems wasteful to not continue to have them available for the RCC along with the new bases. I guess I just don't understand why the newer custom items like RCCs or Raw CCs need alternate wand items. I'm probably not making any sense with rambles at this point, but I don't know why RCCs need a retire wand item like the Raw staves. Is it just to make BP worth more I guess? SInce it's in the BP shop and all. BP sink?

I have to admit that I'm very disappointed that the site chose to retire the Osiem bases instead of leaving them in the RCC's and just rotating out the new artists designs. It was specifically stated that the RCC's would be able to make Osiem's designs from that news post forward, and I understand that it's a weird situation with a new artist joining the team and that wasn't anticipated back then. But I feel like the right thing to do would have been to keep Osiems bases in RCC, and then if you don't make a new item for the new artist just rotate the new designs out every month but not Osiems.
