IST Unfortunately Speedie lost power to her home from a storm that took out power to hundreds of thousands of homes in her area. This made her unable to follow through on today's plan for revealing this mystery pet.  To ensure it still is released with notice in the way we planned, the release will be tomorrow. Sunday starting 3pm IST this mystery pet will be revealed and its morphing potion will be released in all 6 Main Shops set at Incredibly Common rarity. It will be set to stock in those shops for ten minutes each hour, for a few hours throughout the afternoon and evening.

IST This mysterious pet was seen slinking around the site today... Who am I? I'll never tell. ;DIn approximately 24 hours, this mystery pet will be revealed and its morphing potion will be released in all 6 Main Shops set at Incredibly Common rarity. It will be set to stock in those shops for ten minutes each hour, for a few hours throughout the afternoon and evening. The morphing potion will then be removed from the Main Shops and put into the I.C.E. Shop and Snow Jar Igloo.  We wish you good luck, and bid you adieu. See you in 24 hours!!

IST Thanks to the amazing Desmond, and the artistic talent of Vermillion, the Love Ori is ready to make an appearance!  I hope you accept this flower as a token of my undying, everlasting love for you.  The Love Ori may seem a little scarce, as right now the only way to get it is to snag a morphing potion from the Snow Jar Igloo for 15,000 iP. However, it will be available to purchase from the I.C.E. Shop during the month of February for 650 IC.  Thanks so much Desmond for funding this awesome pet, and to Vermillion for her excellent art skills!! To fund a pet color of your own, take a stroll over to the Fundraiser Page!  Speaking of fundraisers...Because of their increasing popularity, Speedie will be taking over where Claws left off. This is to ensure all funded items, avatars, pets, and features are completed on time, with maximum interface between user and staff. If you fund something, please send your descriptive message to her. She will also answer any questions you may have prior to funding something.

IST Remember all that hype from the the first thread we made about Icepets changing its name? Well, we've taken some time to think about it, and we're going to turn it into a contest! At the risk of a potential domain being bought and resold to us, we are sorry to inform you that we cannot make a public poll for you to vote on. We can, however, offer this to the winner:  $25 or $50 worth of IceCash to the person who suggests the domain that we want to use! Please post on this thread if you are entering, and what your suggestion for the new domain is. You may also repost anything you suggested on the previous news post as well. (Who knows, maybe we're already considering some!) As of now, there is no deadline.

IST Hello users of Icepets!  Wait, did we say Icepets? That's our old name, you can call us by our new name. ...oh, wait, we don't have one yet! That's right, we're going to be changing the name of Icepets, but we need your help. We'll leave this news post open for discussion, and for any suggestions or names that you might have for the site. So you're probably asking, why are you changing the name of the site in the first place? Well. We're changing our name so that we are not so restricted when adding features to the site. For example, with the name Icepets, we feel like we have to stick with the ice theme. We would like something more broad, something open that we can all work with. That way, we can bring in more universal updates and features! Name Regulations - Must not have 'pets' in it, or preferably, not at the end of the name. - Must not be restricting to one topic, such as Icepets. - We'll compile a list of the top names suggested here and have users vote on them later. Please note that only the name is changing. Your accounts will not be touched, and everything that is already added to Icepets, or is being added to Icepets, will remain here.
