So I have just had a tackle at all the long-standing bugs that users have reported over time. The following issues have now been fixed :- |
- Profiles => The user awards section on profiles now aligns correctly
- Morphing Potions/Snow Jars => The pet is already that colour glitch has gone. You can now change a same-colour pet to a different species using a same-colour morphing potion. (ie. Use a Purple Cobron MP on a Purple Dovu) without receiving an error
- Friend Requests => Most people have got ghost friend request notifications. Friend Notifications are now DELETED by simply viewing the Check Pending Requests page. Once your notification is removed, you will need to use the new Check Pending Requests link at the top of your friends page
- Avatars => Avatars are now matching for forums and profiles. Profiles were using the old avatar system (before the forum recode), and simply needed a little rejigging =)
- Forums => Editing posts now works again. Sorry for the hiccup with that
Keep those bug reports coming =) ~Nate

IST The anti valentine items are now stocking for just 100 IC each. These items are exclusive to the month of Februrary, and can only be obtained through playing Heart Attack or by ICE Shop purchase.       Love Letter has also been added for just this week. Be sure to send these to your friends so they can read the poems and win the avatar.

IST There was a minor issue with the unread feature a while ago, and in turn, it was re-programmed to be more efficient.  Obviously with all new features, there can be hiccups. There was a slight one with the new unreads system, however it has now been resolved, and unread posts are working correctly. When a thread has received its most recent post, if you dont view it within 14 days since the most recent post, the unread marker is automatically removed. This helps to reduce the amount of data stored due to users not reading threads they arent interested in. Previously, unread post would remain unread -forever- unless you viewed it.
Posted by Claws Day 125, Year 2 (21st Feb 12) @ 20:57:10
IST All of this was made possible by Kirsty using the fundraiser page to bring it all here! Big thanks to Kirsty!   You can turn your pet into a 60s Cobron by using this morphing potion. Find in the ICE Shop or the Golden Touch!  This avatar has also been hidden...where to find it?  This new plushie is stocking in Plushie Mania, a new shop where all plushies were recently added to. Find this shop in Glacia.

IST  Thanks to Joy, Head Writer of IcePets, the long awaiting story of A Very Wulfer Christmas is here! There comes a time of year, when the snow falls softly, when the wind grows bitter with cold, when children fall asleep in their warm beds... dreaming of tomorrow morning, where gifts await them. Deep in the frozen lands of Snowslide Mountains, an event of spectacular wonder is about to take place. A tradition from generations of wolf-like creatures who gather round every year to howl. Their howls are unlike what many have ever heard before, however. Their voices are of tunes and song that can be heard all the way to the fields behind the Draga Volcanoes and the icy village of Glacia. Creatures and people from around the world gather to... ...read A Very Wulfer Christmas to your pet to finish the story, and forever add it your library. Buy this book from player shops, or find it in the book store.

IST Lolly made a new ICE Shop banner ad to head the site! When you see it in the rotation of 2 other banners, stop and have a look. When funding an item you wanna see on the site, you can choose that it to be a Battle Item now. These forum images are in action. When you turn your pet to any of these, this is displayed in your forum chats.

IST We know many of you have been wanting an item storage for some time, Wonderrabbit decided to make this more quickly possible by providing the funds to produce an item storage for everyone to enjoy! In the Personal tab, next to inventory, you will find the link to your Item Storage. In this item storage you start out with 3 default storage bins that can fit 25 total items each. When you want to upgrade your storage space, you can purchase additional (and larger) storage bins that unlock by use of items that are coming very soon. From your inventory you will find a way to move items to your storage bins, with the ability to choose what bin it should go in. Bins may also be renamed to your liking from inside the item storage. Thank you Wonderrabbit, and thank you Nate, you both are amazing!

IST  The Story Continues.. With little effort, he guided her to her feet, She stumbled for words she could not speak. An apology or thank you... neither could be said, For the awkwardness began to sink in, But the silence made the perfect compromise. His move was the first, A simple hello that she greeted with a kind smile. This feeling had devoured both hearts, With all its strength, they knew they could not deny the feeling. The romantic Cupid kept watch, The cleverness of his plan had been successful. And with a spark in his eye, He proclaimed, Time to give this a try!  Gliding down from his cloud with grace, He hovered for more than a moment. He took aim and released his arrow of love. Like a love filled dove, It flew and made its mark on the couple below. Joey smiled to Rosie, The girl he�d only just met, Nervously he offered his hand, His mind was definitely set. Rosie took his offered hand, Talking as she did so. �Fancy going to dinner with me?� This wasn�t just for show. Other hand in his pocket, Joey starting walking. And so they began their journey together, Starting with just a talking. Joey has been transformed into a love pet!  Cupid has flown over to the Igloo and will be there for the remainder of the day selling his high stock of Love Snow Jars. Woohoo! Art Contest Our popular art contest is back with bigger and better prizes! Click for full size. Prizes 1st Place - 10,000 iC + All Valentines Day items 2nd Place - 5,000 iC + 2 Love Snow Jars + Custom Avatar 3rd Place - 2,100 iC + Custom Avatar Rules: Rule 1 - All work submitted must be your own.

IST Not either one knew of the prowling Cupid, Who awaited just round the block. Neither had ever noticed each other before, Both entranced in a dream. Until that time where Rosie fell with a shriek, Destined to be rescued by her only hero. For it was Joey who had been there, To catch her before she fell. Safely in his arms, Rosie looked upon his face, Humor or disgust, she could not tell, For his face was masked, By something both powerful and mysterious, A sudden mutual feeling that they shared. To be continued..
Posted by Lolly Day 116, Year 2 (12th Feb 12) @ 01:59:49
IST   It was a cool morning in February as Rosie awoke. With her bright eyes glowing in the light, She looked down the street at the world beyond, with wondering thoughts of her past... and future. Joey, too, arose with similar wonders, With his Jakrit ears twitching, He allowed his gaze take in the beauty of the world beyond, But realized that his eager heart desired to go forth. The Dabu and the Jakrit plodded down the street, Completely unaware of the unknowing future. Oblivious to the magical spark in the air.. To be continued..
