IST A new feature is here; the Scrap Shop. In the Scrap Shop you have the Buy or Sell. If you have some random item you are having a hard time selling, the scrap shop will take it off your hands for 33% of the item value. Once the item is sold, it goes into the shop at 66%.

IST Orange, Purple, and Green, Tokens have been added as possible rewards to completing the Chocolate Lover Quest.    Red, Blue, and Yellow, Tokens were added as possible rewards to completing the Space Quest.    Sorry if you have been staking out the stamp shop for the Chocolate Traptur Stamp. Turns out it wasnt even stocking, but now is with the rarity of uncommon.  Side note: Chocolate Lover Quest has been lowered to the standard 10 per day.

IST  You can now color ALL your pets Snowdrift! This snow jar can be found stocking at the Snow Jar Igloo . Now since your odds of actually restocking one are quite slim you have two other options too! The Token Booth will be awarding Snowdrift Snow Jars if you can gather up the right colors of tokens!  But for the next 3 hours the I.C.E SHOP will have Snowdrift Snow Jars on sale for 200 I.C.E Cash if you havent spent your starting I.C.E Cash yet! The prices will go up quite higher around 19:30 IST!

IST All known glitches associated with the rollback have been corrected. Along with that, many of the new features from that time are back as well.    The three latest avatars are back for you to hunt. The pet adoption page has been edited again, and looks pretty darn spiffy if you ask me. The Token Dabu has opened back up for business, and continues to give out free tokens daily! The Token Booth is back open with many prizes to cash in your tokens for. Side Note: Claws will be handing out tokens to random members online and even more so to those found posting in the forums. Enjoy!

The Adoption Center was revamped with new images as well! & A note for everyone, at 18:00 IcePets Time the Traptur will go back to private & all I.C.E & referral items will go back to normal prices. -IcePets Team

IST This is a General News post to inform all users that our database has been back-dated to the 16th March 2010. Friday we experienced Technical Errors with our database, but all issues have now been resolved. All activities that have happened in the past few days, such as item purchases, IcePoints increase/decreases, Score Sends, Quests Compldeted etc etc have all also been reset to the above date. There is unfortunately, no way to recover this information. If you have purchased IceCash recently, do not panic. We know who you are, and IceCash will be added to you account as soon as we are able to. Please stay tuned for more news coming soon - PokerPheonix

IST We just added a Flaming Ice Cube & a Waterlogged Book to our I.C.E Shop.   For the next 20 minutes each user has the option to purchase these at EXTREMELY low prices! The Flaming Ice Cube is only 130 IceCash & the Waterlogged Book is a mere 360 IceCash. Prices will go anywhere from 1-10 times the current price so if you have any spare Ice Cash spend it now! Or purchase to buy in bulk. These items will be released through other methods around the site in the next few weeks but for now the only way to receive these items is either from the I.C.E Shop or from another user! UPDATE :15:45 - We went ahead & adjsuted the Flaming Ice Cube so the price is 1,300 IceCash & the Waterlogged Book is now priced at 480 IceCash. Congrats to those who were online & purchased a GREAT discount! This may occur with every new I.C.E Shop Item release in the future! So stay online & keep that IceCash handy!

IST Great new update for everyone! We finally have our referral system completed & it's working! You can refer members & get everything from the rarest stamp to date, The Referral Stamp, or even purchase a Melting Ice Cube by referring enough members!   If you refer a member they must make a pet & have some type of activity (I.E playing games, posting topics, etc.) in order to qualify for an actual referral. More details can be found here on the referral page (Which can also be found on the left hand sidebar). The best part about our new system is you can win REAL LIFE PRIZES. Such prizes included are Starbucks Gift Cards, iTunes Gift Cards & even an iPod Touch!!   Also for the next 7 days (Ends on Monday, the 22nd of March) you receive 200 IcePoints for starting new topics & posts! (Ten times the normal amount). So get posting & get referring! More features will be released later this week, to keep everyone happy & excited to play daily! Only at IcePets, the most unique virtual pet site on the web!

IST Many of you quest doers may have noticed the new Quest Stats on Weapons and Chocolate Lover Quests. It shows you how many you have completed today, out of your daily total, and how many you have completed all time. For every 100 quests completed, a new level is gained on that quest. Something may be added, in the future, associated with quest levels, but for now it just shows personal accomplishment.

Posted by Claws Pre-Release (11th Mar 10) @ 08:37:32

IST The Chocolate Lover needs your help! Bring him chocolate, and he will reward you with things like; IcePoints, books, beauty items, and stamps. You can find chocolates in user shops and in the Candy Shop.    Have fun, and try not to get too spoiled by his rewards!

IST If anyone wants to print off a flier & stick them around your local school, town, work etc. Please feel free to visit THIS LINK & print off a flier or two!  It suggests the user can win an iPod touch which is a bit skewed, since any physical items will not be awarded until the site launches its referral contest in the upcoming weeks! So if anyone asks make sure to tell them they can definitely win one! Just NOT on opening day . Thanks & get pumped for tomorrow! -Michael
