Oh, look! A bunch of brand new items have surfaced! And theyre all devoid of colour and brittle looking, except that one trinket over there... I wonder how I could get my hands on some of those.

If you click the link of Earn IceCash, inside the ICE Shop, you can vote for IcePets on two different top sites that each award 3 IceCash for your daily vote.
The more daily votes IcePets gets, is the higher up on the gaming lists we will be. The higher up we are is the more exposed we are to potential new members. Your daily vote helps IcePets grow.

The avatars implemented earlier today contained a small glitch. Everything is working now.
As a result of this, I had to take away the avatars of everyone who had the The Snowman quest avatar.
If you meet the qualifications to receive the avatar, all you have to do now is visit the quest page, while not in the middle of a quest. If not, keep working at it!

As you may have heard, The Chocolate Lover has taken a liking to non-chocolate sweets.
The rumours are completely true: It all started when a helpful person brought her her very first cotton candy candy cupcake! Yes, at first shed pick the little bits of candy out of the frosting and flick them across the room. She couldnt imagine why in the world someone would ruin a perfectly good cupcake with something other than chocolate. But one lonely, hungry night with no helpful visitors, a pile of little blue sparkly things caught her eye. Some people insist that those things are for eating, so she thought shed try one. So she did. And it was good!
Now The Chocolate Lover is ready to conquer the world of assorted sweets! She will love you forever if you bring her some lollipops and rock candy, if you happen to be in the neighbourhood at a time when she has a craving for something other than chocolate!
And perhaps if you could offer some advice regarding not eating stuff off the floor and keeping a clean house, that would be nice too.

10 Referral Points Card is the newest item to hit the ICE Shop. If a prize in the Referral Shop catches your eye, but you dont have the time to refer enough players for that prize, you have the option to purchase Referral Points in the ICE Shop.
When you use this card, 10 Referral Points are added to your account for spending in the Referral Shop. This does not mean your account receives 10 counts of completed referrals, this means you have 10 extra points for spending in the Referral Shop.
By the way, thanks to NBS for staying up so late to program this great item!

Your avatar count now displays on the forums for all to see your accomplishment!
Below the new avatar count display is a gender display. New players from now on will be asked to enter gender from the registration, while current players will see a page to enter gender to proceed.
These two new forum updates are thanks to the coding of Nobackseat.

One of things in progress right now is the new scrap shop; made to be sustainable (unlike the old), and very much improved. Click the link below to see a preview:
For those who were not around when the old scrap shop was in place; Scrap Shop is a feature where you can sell your items to the NPC, or buy previously sold items from the NPC.

Today Nate coded pages to your inventory. If you have a lot of items, it will be sectioned into pages to avoid slow loading times for those who have a ton of items in their inventory.

You may have already noticed, there is a clock showing IcePets Standard Time!
This clock was put in by Nobackseat, the second programmer now on the IcePets Team. This news is a little over due, but Nobackseat is here to handle smaller tasks while Nate focuses mainly on the larger projects. Give a big warm welcome!
Note: This past week I have been away to focus hard on providing for my family. By tomorrow I will be back in action.
