As previously mentioned, we are working on a page to list transactions with all incoming cash earned and the outgoing costs. The page has begun to come together and can be viewed here; this page can be accessed by going to our Support Site, clicking on Transactions and selecting Summary from the drop down menu. As of this moment you can only view the amount of money earned each month through purchases; however, within the next week this will be expanded to include how much money has been paid out. They will be broken down so you can see exactly where your support for IcePets is going! Once this page is complete we will provide more details explaining how much everything on the site costs and you will be able to visually check and verify it all!

Gabriella has spent the past few weeks hard at work, mixing and experimenting with new crystal variants. She finally announced she was finished and showed off her updated Snow Jars! You will find that they now match the Basic Pet Colours that were recently released. This is a part of the continued effort to update all Basic Colours on the site, so keep an eye out for more updates in the future!



If you're having trouble viewing the updated artwork try a hard refresh using Ctrl-F5 or Fn-F5. As always, if you wish to view old IcePets artwork you can do so at our archive; it is a wonderful place to see how IcePets has changed over the years!

In the spirit of giving, every year in December Users can start sending holiday presents to each other's Holiday Tree. Simply head to the page, select the option to send a gift, and type in the username of the recipient! Do not worry about any gifts being opened too early - gifts cannot be opened until Christmas Day. You can check how many gifts you have received by checking under your own tree. Feel free to browse the forums and check out your friends' wish lists!



Put down your paintbrushes and pencils, because the coloring contest is finished! Please check out the wonderful entries here and make sure you vote for your favorite! Voting will take place until December 11th at 11:59:59. (IcePets time).

We haven't forgotten our transparency policy we mentioned in an earlier news post. We are currently working on having a page available for Users to see all transactions. Once this is complete, we'll be releasing more information about November profits and costs.

The bells are ringing and everyone is getting ready for some holiday cheer! Get your hot cocoa and scarves ready, because the Advent Calendar is now open for the month. Check back daily for free goodies, and if you miss a day, just head to the I.C.E Shop and pick up a Forgotten Advent Key for 300 IceCash (270 IceCash for Gold Account members). You can use it to unlock any days you miss this season.

You can submit your vote any time during the month, and have until the end of the month to do so. Winners will be announced on the first of next month!

We would like to extend a thank you to everyone for being so patient during this transition. As mentioned in the previous news post, we'll address some of the changes that we're implementing moving forward. Judda is stepping back from most programming for the site. In addition, IcePets will be changing its business model. This new model is based on three main pillars:

- Monthly financial reports, including income and expenses, will be published to improve transparency and accountability.
- Our financial goals and expectations will be shared to ensure that all our Users know where the money (from IceCash purchases, etc) is going. There will be no spoilers for future features, however!
- IcePets will rely solely on its own profits to ensure its sustainability. Icepets will continue to put all profits towards future site development. Unfortunately, this means if no profit is made, there will be no development.

The first full report will be provided in December. Our first priority is hiring at least one other programmer to finish up Alpha, which is estimated to cost between $1,500 and $2,000.

All money earned on IcePets always goes back into the site.

Additionally, we plan to open a developer log for programming updates between the live site and alpha. This will be independent of the current change log where smaller changes to the site have been noted. We want to assure everyone that Icepets will run the same, with improvments on the way. We have ample ideas for events, activities, and features we cannot wait to provide to you once Alpha is complete.



Our annual Black Friday Sale is coming up with a few new additions. We have a bigger project planned for the holiday season that we're hoping everyone will enjoy! As a thank you for sticking with us through this rough patch we would like to extend the following:

Seven days of Gold Account time by clicking this link. You have until December 1st 23:59:59 (IcePets Time) to claim.

A mini quest bonus event starting Friday, November 29th until Monday, December 2nd. More details will be released when the quest event starts.
