We are proud to release our newest permanent feature; the Ice Box!


Drawn by Hornbuckle

You can select an item from your inventory to place into the box and if the item can be made into an Ice Cube (hint: Check your cube collection!) you will get the Ice Cube version.

If there is no Ice Cube variation you will get a good old:


Melting Ice Cube

Each time you freeze an item, there is a wait time while the box refills. You can choose to wait until the timer gets to 0, OR you can pay Ice Points to speed it up
The wait time increments by 60 seconds each time you freeze an item, however it resets back to 0 at midnight.


There are 6 new avatars that can be earned from this feature!



Drawn by Read

Avatars from left to right are:

Box Basher, Cube Activist, Cube Explorer, Cube Professional, Frozen Marathon, I..See Cubes..Everywhere


You can find this feature added to the Games Page (or you can just click here)

We have just updated 80 Ice Cubes. The changes can be simple things such as a value change, to more complex things such as completely changing the name, or location where it is obtained from.

For those interested, you can view/download the text file here.



The reason for this is to make way for an unreleased feature, and to ensure that Ice Cubes are available in a fair, but challenging way for everyone.

We have only done what is on this list.
Every other Ice Cube (or things that have not changed) are not listed.

Say hello to the new Space Sharshel!


ZzzzzzzzZZZZZzzz


Wonderrabbit funded some content in 2012, however as development changes, unfortunately this content kept getting pushed back. Instead we have come to an agreement to put her fundings towards funding some pets instead!

This amazing pet+potion was drawn by Hornbuckle!.


Space Sharshel Morphing Potion

It is available in the Snow Jar Igloo for 23,500 IP or from ICE Shop for 599 IC!

Thank You Wonderrabbit!

======================
You should also see the ability to start requesting pets opening soon. We have developed an entirely new system for handling this content, and hope to have it live soon!

Thanks for your patience!

...Nyssa!

Congratulations Nyssa! We appreciate all that you've done for the Icepets community. Enjoy your 50,000 IP and exclusive secret avatar!




Some Comments about Nyssa:

• She always has a nice comment for others, tries to help whenever she can and thinks the world about IcePets.
• She really helped me out a lot on this site when I was new here. Besides the personal stuff, I know she did a great job by helping people out with the Jakrit Hunt. She is a nice girl who I think deserves to be member of the month.
• Definitely Nyssa. Why hasn't she won already?

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the next round of the MOTM, and be sure to voice your opinion on who you think is the most deserving in the community to receive the title and rewards that go along with it!!

Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion



Remember this?.. Up until Easter 2013, you were able to spend Easter Credits on this item in the old Easter Store to instantly receive a random Jakrit Morphing Potion. This included Jakrit MPs being available elsewhere (Some Stores, Historian, etc)...

This item has now been REVAMPED (Thanks Hornbuckle!):



This item has the same name (Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion) however, now you can actually OWN one for yourself ZOMG!

We have removed all Jakrit Morphing Potions from the Historian and Stores, and now the only way to obtain a Jakrit Morphing Potion is by using this item.

When we release new Jakrit Morphing Potions they will still follow the usual release pattern and be made available in the ICE Shop and the Snow Jar Igloo for a short period of time, however once they are removed from those stores, they will not be added to the Historian.

This item automatically has future new Jakrit Morphing Potions inside its reward pool from the moment they are released, so anytime we release a new Jakrit MP, this single-use item will have the chance to randomly award one to you!

This new item will ONLY be available during ALL Easter Events from 2014 onwards (obviously we will have you jumping hoops to get it ), however we will make it available this month May 2013 in the ICE Shop for 500 IC, and in the Snow Jar Igloo for 50,000 IP.


Have Fun with this gamble!


Also, all MPs and SJs currently in the ICE Shop have been moved to the Limited Section.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Here are some lovely avatars for some lovely users!

Read and all her spectacularness has produced four custom avvies and Brad has also provided a sweet one for a staff member. Let us take a look...


HybridTheory has got a new Rainbow Factory avatar to show off in the forums!


Kashmir has got their Love Ridix waggling his eyebrows at us...what a ladies man!


Melriah has very sweetly requested this avatar for Misterchia, as the moon sets, the sun rises.


Cameo has a marvelous dripping Halloween themed ice cream cone to wave about the forums! A very lovely surprise, if ya ask me. :3

Those little pretties were all done by Read, and now the following avatar was done for NATE by Brad! Woot!

Glorious.

That is all for now! Keep checking back for more new custom avvies! (and maybe even some hidden ones soon!)
