IST Good morning everyone! Today is Halloween, and since we've already released every species in the Halloween color, one of our old artists @ Dante has given us this beautifully creepy Skeletal Ori!  Do you have any bonessss I can collect?  @ Dante worked very hard and diligently with us to make sure this Ori matched our style perfectly, and we think she did a fantastic job! Thanks @ Dante!!  The Skeletal Ori Morphing Potion is available in the Snow Jar Igloo for only 20,000 IP. Alternatively, you can find it in the I.C.E. Shop for 500 IC until the end of November. 450 IC for Gold Members!@ Dante can be credited for the Morphing Potion as well! Just a reminder, the following Items will be removed from the I.C.E. Shop at 11:59:59 pm IST tonight!           The following Items are also being removed, but unlike the above Items, they won't be available again until next year as we are also removing them from the Snow Jar Igloo!               Snag them while you still can!  A few users have been seen sporting this spooky new Avatar...Can you figure out how to get it before time runs out?     The Bat Plushie, Candycorn, Pumpkin Soup, and Pumpkin Ice Cube are disappearing from the Token Booth tonight at 11:59:59 pm IST, have you had enough time to get what you wanted? Or are you patient enough to wait ~360 more days!?  Just a quick reminder, today is the last day to send in your nominations for MOTM! REMEMBERYou cannot nominate yourself or members of staff. PLEASE do not ask other users to vote for yourself or other members. You can mail your nominations here.     These may be of use to you soon...Keep an eye out for new news!

IST  Thanks to the wonderful programming of @ Programmer, the Quests have some new modifications! If you have a Gold Account, the following changes have taken effect: If you do not have the Item in one of the listed locations, the button will be grayed out and not clickable. If you do have the Item, the button will be clickable and it will list how many of the Item requested you have in each location. Thanks a ton, @ Programmer!! Hmmmm news, news, news.....Ah yes, we also have this little guy to release!  Yes the Cubed Jakrit is making his debut thanks to the studious work of @ Vermillion! How do you get this little square dude? The Cubed Snow Jar is how to achieve the Cubed Jakrit. As stated many times before, the Cubed Snow Jar is, and will only ever be available through the I.C.E. Shop. It's being sold for 500 IC, or 450 IC for Gold Members. Thanks so much @ Vermillion for the adorable artwork!

IST Hey everyone! Happy Halloween again! Grave Digger has had a prize update... What, you were expecting pictures of the prizes? Where's the fun in that? 8D Another rather Scary looking Present has been seen in the NPC shops...It's stocking rather frequently to make up for the 15 days it was late. This won't last forever, though. Get them while you can! You may have seen it around.  It was drawn by the lovely @ rhandimask! Its contents are much different than that of the Spooky Present. What, not knowing what the new Halloween Items are isn't fun? Fine. Here they are, but We're not telling you which ones are where. You'll have to figure that out on your own.                ...Fine, we'll give you the names too. Geeze, you guys are so picky. Brain Cupcake, Jack O Lantern Pumpkin Pie, Finger Food, Brain Cupcake Ice Cube, Carving Knife, Chocolate Wrapped Eyeballs, Skull Plushie, Witches Nose, Tombstone Plush, Frankensteins Monster Plush, Fake Spider Web, Bat on a Stick, Candy Corn Ice Cube, Temporary Tattoos, and Eye See You. You can thank @ Hornbuckle for all the Items except Eye See You, which is credited to @ Vermillion! Thanks guys! 8D

IST   This humble little Trido was requested by the fabulous @ Tilas! It was drawn by the marvelous @ Hornbuckle!! This squishably adorable Cobron was requested by @ Nyssa, and was drawn by none other than @ Vermillion! Very nice choices, guys!! 8D The Angelic Trido Morphing Potion and the Baby Cobron Morphing Potion ((Both drawn by @ Hornbuckle)) may both be found in the Snow Jar Igloo for 20,000 IP, but if you can't wait long enough for one to show up, they can also be found in the I.C.E. Shop for 500 IC each. That's 450 IC for Gold Members!They will be removed from the I.C.E. Shop at the end of October. Thanks so much, @ Tilas, @ Nyssa, @ Hornbuckle, and @ Vermillion. Very nice collaboration on these! Want to request a Pet of your own? Send $30 to payments@IcePets.com then message @Speedie and you will be sent the Pet Request Item which you can use from your Inventory!We apologize for the delay in this month's MOTM, but we had an interesting turnout, and it took more than a week to sort it out and make a decision. There will not be a member of the month for the month of September. We did not feel anyone stood out enough to receive the title. We feel this title and Avatar should be special, and only go to users who deserve it. If no one is deserving, we're not going to pick someone because, well, they don't deserve it. We love each and every one of you, but this Avatar and title requires a little more work than what was put in last month. We hope you take this, not as an insult, but as encouragement to be the best user you can be. As a reminder, please do not ask other users to vote for you or other users for Member of the Month. Several nominations for one user who hasn't stood out significantly this month doesn't make us pick that user. It makes us suspicious. We do read the forums, you know. ;D Keep your heads up, and we'll see you at the end of this month for the next voting period. (:

IST We have a new Staff of the Month for the month of September!! Congratulations...  @ Soot!!! She's been such a wonderful staff member since the day she joined! Give her a hearty congratulations!!!  This, drawn by the lovely @ Hornbuckle, is @ Soot 's SOTM Item...Can you figure out how to get it? We're not giving any hints to this one, it's pretty simple. Don't over-think it. ;D Today is also a very sad day. One of our editors had decided to leave the team for personal reasons. @ Luventas, you will be missed dearly. Everything you have done for us and our community will not go unappreciated. Thank you for everything you've done, and we wish you luck in whatever you choose to pursue.
