Site Update
Aymas is quickly approaching, and everyone is scrambling to wrap those final gifts and cook the gingerbread to defeat Aketch but that is not all we have prepared for you! I am sure that many of you have been wondering what all those beautiful ornaments are for?
We thought it would be fun this year if you could Decorate your own tree! This fun feature can actually use any site item as long as they are not privately owned! Just go to your inventory, choose the item you want to use and click "Place in Aymas Decoration Trunk"! Do not worry, any item that you place into the trunk is removable, so you don't have to worry about losing any super shiny items you may want to decorate your tree with.
Of course to decorate your tree you have to actually have a tree, now don't you? Never fear! That is where our newest friendly Site Character comes in at!
Madam Cactus has opened up a lovely new store that has plenty of beautiful trees as well as all of our new ornaments!
Decorating your tree can be a little complicated so a few tips:
-The icon in the left is your trunk, click it to reveal a collapsible menu with all the items you add
- After placing an item on the canvas you click it to "activate" it, from this you can position the item anywhere on the canvas and you also have several more icons available.
Allows you to mirror the item and flip it horizontally
Takes you out of the item edit screen so you can select another item
Allows you to adjust whether you want to use the small or large size
Will put the item back in your Decoration Trunk- Save Tree will save whatever progress you have done so your tree will look the same next time you return
- Clear tree removes everything from the canvas
- We will be hosting a Tree Decorating Contest later on!
Please remember the Site ToS. These trees cannot be labeled as you would a forum so all trees must remain PG13, any found to be breaking this rule will have their trees cleared and an official warning issues.
We also have a fun holiday game for you, otherwise known as Bingo! This task sheet has 24 different objectives for you to accomplish. When you finish a column, row, or either diagonal you can claim your prize! The prizes are one of the random holiday items (stockings, presents, etc), and many of these tasks can be completed simply by playing on the site. There is a few specialty tasks that I will go a little more in depth with!
- Master the Holiday Zone: The quests for Holiday Lane has been reset (this is what we had meant when we originally opened it and levels were changed). You must complete all Holiday Lane quests for this Achievement.
- Enter your Aymas Tree into the Tree Contest: This one is not achievable yet, as we are not opening the contest yet.
- Participate in Saving Aymas: Chapters 1-3, this is the Battle of the Gingerbreads and is accomplished by turning in one of the new gingerbreads that gets released with each chapter. So for credit for Chapter 1 you need to submit a Foot Soldier or Koaf Mount, the others will be announced as we progress through the story.
- Collect an Item from Advent: While the holiday Advent is scheduled to end on the 25th, we will still be giving out presents afterwords so do not worry!
- Adopt a New Pet: This means from the Adoption Center
- Buy something from the Seasonal Shop: This one is also not achievable yet, once the shop opens it will be.
Once you have completed your board you will be able to collect the "Blackout Prize" at the bottom, which will be a gift pile of a few of the holiday items!
These events will run into January, as we know this is a pretty big time for everyone to be spending time with their family and traveling. We will give notice before the events are going to end, to try to ensure everyone is able to participate! We hope that you enjoy everything and from the Aywas family to yours, we wish you a Very Merry Aymas!
Updates: The candy cane glitch has been resolved. You will have to collect 100 candy canes in adventure, unfortunately this is not retroactive.
Book of Completion now works with the achievement, however you will still be locked out for a week as per the books rules.
The museum collection is working as intended, however please make sure that you are completing the collection.
You may open your wrapped gift, however the lottery tickets will not work until tomorrow.
The Aymas Tree should work properly in Chrome now.
I am currently at my offline job but trying to work with Yasu as glitch reports come in. Please ping @489 if you are experiencing a glitch. (I apologize for any typos, editing this from my phone!)
Update 10:50pm AST: The Candy Canes are still causing us difficulties apparently, we apologize for this inconvenience. Yasu is going to change the way the coding works so it registers how many is in your inventory, regardless of the source. However as it is Christmas Eve he may not get to it today, please rest assured it will be done shortly and all you will have to do is go to the Bingo page to update the board. We will let you know once it is completed, Merry Aymas!

*mini vent* So I have literally spent millions of bp and around 40 GP on the stupid holiday chanve items and I have literally gotten crap. I've tried so hard to be a good sport about it but I'm starting to get a little upset. Ive even bought the expensive stuff that's supposed to contain something semi decent and all I got was a winter warmer which is selling for 100k no in user shops right now. I really want to cry right about now :( I have been looking forward to these presents all year and now I just want to quit altogether. I've also scratched over 20 of those card things and not gotten a single item just FYI. Anyway, mini rant over. But it would be nice to have better odds.

🎁❄Kaiyo❄⛄ (#489) May I ask about the cards again? I don't see anything about it and I feel the chances seem off. Everyone I've seen seems to have gotten nothing great out of them. For an item that costs 13GP or makes you get them from the USD sales, shouldn't there be a bit better chances on the cards?

Saphire <3 Lassombra (#407) I am sorry about the bad luck being had but the cards are working properly, they were a USD bonus, meaning they were a free gift when someone buys an item. They were made GP as well because we know not all users can afford USD purchases. The cards themselves are just supposed to be a fun little luck thing, and just with all chance items there is a chance to get crap, I know that my luck isn't so swell either, but they are working properly and we will not be adjusting the chance to win, especially not after so many cards were played.

🎁❄Kaiyo❄⛄ (#489) But no wins on almost 40 cards, 58 in some people's cases??? That's not just bad luck. I have yet to see anybody win much more than 2GP at most! But... if they're working properly... I know what NOT to buy again

Saphire <3 Lassombra (#407) Actually it is really bad luck, I know the winning percentage and it is much higher than that. Many cards of a chance to win, but you still have to scratch the right cards in order *too* win.

🎁❄Kaiyo❄⛄ (#489) Then a lot of people's luck sucks because on the thread of what did you get I know multiple people who got nothing. I got an ice rocks out of my 38 cards... it just seems... off :/ I am waiting to see someone who actually has gotten ANYTHING out of them really. I am not trying to be mean about it. I just feel like those who got gifted them or have gifted them feel they were a waste, myself included. ;; I guess I was hoping even to get a missing pet or two and didn't even get that :(

Saphire <3 Lassombra (#407) You also have to take into account that not everyone posts in that thread. I promise you there is USD items and GP in the cards, it's just that first a user has to get a card that is a winner, and then they have to choose the right winning spot. I understand your frustration, I had several cards myself and the only thing I won was a lacer, but even if the odds for winning were too low we wouldn't be able to adjust them because several hundred cards have already been used and it would not be fair to all of those users. I still enjoyed opening mine, just the thought that somebody actually thought of me enough to send me the gift made them well worth my time, and I am sorry that not everyone can feel this way. It is a chance item, and all chance items have the odds to be a dud, it was never portrayed to be anything other than a chance item, so I am sorry that people spent so much on them but the same risk is from investing in stockings or elaborate presents or balloons or any other chance item on the site.
