IST Been securing the site the past few days to prevent against the hacks/injections we have been receiving. The bank has been restored & the pet color page had to wait a couple days in order to restore the icepoints, fix the Cobron images & restore the bank. Thanks for your patience & get ready for a week filled with updates, new items & hopefully new features!!
Posted by Michael Pre-Release (13th May 10) @ 21:27:30
IST     You can now adopt & paint a Cobron of your own!  Along with this, a new avatar has been unlocked for everyone. Once again if you are STILL missing IcePoints, please mail me, Michael & we can get this resolved!! Also, a pet color page should be available tomorrow or tonight!! With a list of ALL the colors & pets!

IST Just a heads up everyone, going to be giving all the icepoints back. Turned out what happened was an actual hack. Another team from a certain forums decided to inject us with some coding to remove all the icepoints. Karl, our programmer, has unfortunately left us for now & disappeared so we are in the means of hiring a new one. While we wait I will be working on fixing the bank today & putting the icepoints back in all the accounts that have sent me, Michael, a message. Once again if you are missing IcePoints please let me know (if you havent sent me a message).
What can we do to make up for the horrible inconvenience? Let us know on the forums! - Real life prizes? Stickers, shirts, etc.? - Huge scrap shop giveaway with coloring potions? - New flash game by next week? Post in the general chat under the What Can We Do board!

IST Just wanted to let everyone know the problems you may be experiencing with the loss of Icepoints is normal! Give us 6-8 hours to go through everything once again & fix it... If you already sent me a message Ill be re-adding that later. I wouldnt recommend using the bank for now either Thanks & once again if you are missing IP & havent sent me a message, send me one! -Michael

IST Youll start seeing a bunch of revamps around the site in the next couple days! Four new ice cubes are NOW stocking in Frozen Collectives, and waiting to be added to your collection.     We plan to make the Collecting aspect of the site more fun & rewarding. We also should get our planning together & allow everyone to choose what gets done next, feature wise & revamp wise! Remember, if you are missing IcePoints to send me, Michael, a message! If you already submitted a support ticker or sent a message you are on the list. We have about 400 people so far we have to take care of, along with a possible 800 more in the next few days!! So please be patient with us as we get this fixed  . This next month is going to be one of the most exciting months on IcePets so stay tuned, active & excited for whats about to happen! Michael, IcePets Team.

IST Hey there! Just wanted to give everyone a heads up if any of your IcePoints are gone, don't worry! We are fixing a few parts of the site & this should be restored shortly . If you want to submit a support ticker, to tell us how many IcePoints you had before the glitch to make it a bit faster in the case that they can NOT come back , then honesty is appreciated & we will look at any accounts that request too many IcePoints or too little to investigate honesty. Luckily this is a beauty of a BETA Site, that all flaws are to be fixed before 'true launch' So submit a support ticker or send Michael a personalized message stating how many TOTAL IP you had

IST The below is the same overall message Michael was sending with the news post below this, but an issue as important as this merits added info. We decided we need to take a step back, look at our situation, solve all known problems, develop an engaging feature, and move forward from there. For the long run, for the future of IcePets, this is the best possible option within our means; to ensure IcePets lives on for many years to come as an enjoyable and engaging virtual pet site.

IST Joe & I have decided there is MUCH more that needs to be accomplished before IcePets is at the point to be available for ALL users to enjoy properly. The financial status of IcePets needs to become a bit more steady before we can achieve what needs to be done in order for this to happen as well as all patches of the site to be more secure to prevent against glitches in the site as well. What we plan to accomplish before our Re-Opening:
Battle System: A complex flash based battle system which will be the most UNIQUE, FUN, IN DEPTH, & ADDICTIVE battle system out of any virtual pet website. Economy: Clearly IcePets allows for hours of fun with collecting, trading, buying & selling of items. What we want is more options for where your IcePoints can be spent, earned & used. Auctions, Games & more creative ways to use your IcePoints will be available within the next weeks to months to turn your hours of play into days of play. Marketing: IcePets was not marketed as well as it should have been prior to launch & we want to make sure EVERYONE knows about IcePets on our opening day & will continue to log in daily to their accounts for consistent features & item releases. What this means for you?: IcePets will continue to churn out new items, avatars & updates but for the next month or more our main focus will be the above. We have no set date as to WHEN we will be able to launch the site & that is why YOU will be able to help us for the answer as to when we are able to launch to fulfill everyones needs. Keep logging in, keep playing & keep posting on our forums! Continue to buy I.C.E Cash which helps us more than you can imagine! Let us know anything that you want done & we WILL jot it down & work on it. Joe & I have notebooks upon notebooks of ideas & suggestions & features to work on that WILL get done. I want to thank EVERY user here for making what has happened so far a possibility & thank EVERY user for staying with us as we decide to move on & make the website a better place for everyone! Thank you, Michael, Joe & the IcePets Team!
