We now have a page of referral graphics to help you refer. Depending on what you need, you can simply copy and paste the HTML or the BBcode, and you are good to go! Banners, icons, and MSN icons, are the kind of graphics you have to choose from. This page is linked to from the main IcePets Refer page. Big thanks to Lolly for the wonderful graphics!

Quick stock is back, completely redone with much improvement. Now the quick stock is all in flash, and really does make stocking your shop quick. A few items in circulation will appear as a question mark where the art should be as some images do not work in the flash application, this was done to avoid further delays in the release of Quick Stock. The few question mark images will be replaced with art work in the near future. Link to the new flash Quick Stock can be found at the top of your inventory! Please post in the comments what you think!

ANOTHER new avatar is waiting for you to find! Today it was brought to our attention that players not online during the Easter Event have not been able to redeem Empty Plastic Easter Eggs for points in the Easter Jakrit Shop. Thanks to the testing of Speedie, and programming correction of Nate, this should no longer be a problem.

Here is the newest Custom Avatar, this one is for Silveirta. To those of you who may be frustrated with the wait for new features, due to a heavy focus to the major project of the battle arena, your wait for new features is not far off.

Snowman parts will now be randomly awarded from The Snowman Quest and will no longer stock in the official shops. Those who have not yet built a snowman will rely on those who have to build one. Furthermore, the icepoint reward percent of the Snowman Quest has been increased, as the snowman felt a little neglected and would like some more attention.

Well, after thousands of messages were sent, requesting the famous EVIL JAKRIT, you can all be warned! Lets all welcome (for those who WANT to welcome its evilness) the Evil Jakrit to Glacies. Drawn by our own MindMusic, MindMusic was fortunate to get a free Evil Jakrit Morphing Potion for the contribution to the site! Since this was more of a community decision, we are having this be a regular stocking item in the Snow Jar Igloo for a nice price! You can also storm over to the I.C.E Shop to pick one up as well!

Hello all Icepets users out there! I come to you with this newspost for a call for new moderators to add to the team. We are looking to add at least three users to the team! I would like you to mail me, Yakumo, with a few answers. How long have you been on Icepets?: How many hours can you be online daily?: Do you currently have a position at any other site?: Have you ever had a moderator position before?: Why do you feel you would make a good moderator here at Icepets?: What would you do if two users were fighting on the forums?: What would you do if a user mails you with a problem you cannot handle?: What if a user spams up the forums with multiples of the same topic? What if they spam a board multiple times?: So just take your time and give us some lengthy replies! Applications will be taken till Friday the 13th. You will not know if you are chosen for a few days after the deadline. Though everyone will receive a message back! Good luck!

Do you love writing? Here is a contest designed for you! The Book of Technology has blank pages that wants to be filled by not one of the staff members -- but a member of the community! Rules: 1. One entry per member. 2. Please post here if you would like to participate. 3. Send Speedie your story when you have completed your entry. 4. You will have two weeks to send in your stories. This means the deadline is May 20th. 5. Scoring will be based on creativeness and ability to write an entertaining story. A couple of grammar mistakes can be easily fixed, though ;D 6. The story can be factual (i.e. history of technology) or in character. 7. There is no character limit. Write what you feel is a good length. However, if you really need guidelines, check previously published books to get a good idea of what an average story looks like. 8. Please remember... No plagiarizing! 9. If you have a question, post here. 10. Have fun! ---- 1st Place: 20,000 IP, a copy of the book, and your story published for all to see, including you username in the book description! Runner-up: 10,000 IP Honorable Mention(s): 6,000 IP

The Chocolate Lover has been spotted dragging some previously unseen items around! Isn\\t that nice? She has been making clothes and stamps for you out of the candy wrappers from the sweets you\\ve been giving her. That\\s gratitude. Doesn\\t that feel good? But wait, what\\s that... Is that chocolate? Chocolate lover giving out chocolate? Something\\s off.

In case you have not yet noticed, the limited time only Ice Cube Quest and the Easter Egg Hunt have been ended. Rest assured, the Easter Egg Hunt will be back again next year...with improvements. The Freezer and the Easter Jakrit Store will remain open for you to use your remaining eggs, or sell to those in need. What is The Freezer? The Freezer is a feature where you can take your Plastic Easter Eggs and freeze them into collectible Ice Cubes. What is the Easter Jakrit Store? When you open a Plastic Easter Egg you get exclusive Easter themed prizes and are left with an Empty Plastic Easter Egg that can be used as currency in this shop for more prizes.

Here is an IcePets Fan Art of an Evil Jakrit, made by Mindmusic, and posted up at the Art Forum. This is not an available pet color, do you think it should be? Comment on what you think! Wanna see the thread? http://www.icepets.com/newboards/viewposts.php?topic=2936&p=1
