CAN IT BE...??
It CAN! We're bringing back Member of the Month (or MOTM for short) and it's time to VOTE!
Your vote should go to the person who you feel has stood out the most this month. Has someone been extremely helpful to new members? Have you seen someone around the site constantly lending a hand where ever they can? Do you think someone has been more active than anyone else? They might deserve to get your vote then! However, some of our users have already received this elusive title so be sure to check their avatar list before voting for them.
A MOTM is selected by the users of IcePets to receive 50,000 IP and this exclusive avatar:
REMEMBER - You cannot nominate yourself or members of staff. - Do not ask other users to vote for yourself or other members. - You can only nominate users who have not previously won MOTM.
What's that? OH right! Our Raffle has a little surprise this week! Not only will the winner be earning the iP pot as a prize, they will also receive a Halloween Snow Jar as a bonus! Isn't that nice?! Good luck for those of you that choose to join!

It's the last week of October, and the last week of our Halloween Festivities!
These Halloween themed items have returned to the Token Booth! They will only be around until the end of this month and won't reappear until next year, so nab 'em while you have the chance!
In addition, you might find that presents and the empty treat bags are a bit easier to find in NPC shops for the rest of the month!
I hope you guys are enjoying our festivities! Keep in mind that GraveDigger, the Ghost Hunt, and the rest of the activities will all be coming to an end November 1st.

The 20th? Yep! It's that time of year again! ...and this year it's on time.
Happy Birthday, IcePets!
On this day, all the way back in 2010, IcePets opened registration and allowed users to create accounts and experience the site. To commemorate this special date, we have an avatar for you!
The Grand Opening! avatar is very easy to obtain, in fact, you might have found it just by viewing this. Be sure to tell your avatar collecting friends to log on today or tomorrow because it won't be obtainable for another year after this!

Er... I don't know what's happening but Samuel has been causing a lot of commotion in his Toy Shop... I hope he's okay. Maybe you should check on him just to be sure?
Speaking of strange happenings, the ICE Shop has gotten a strange shipment in today. I wonder what they do? The Ouija Board is priced at 750 IC and will be available until the end of October.
We hope you all have been Trick or Treating on profiles because you're going to need to a lot for this next avatar...
Too Full...
A note about this avatar, it will not be retroactive. This means that anything you've done prior to now will not count towards this avatar. Explaining it anymore will give the method away. Good luck!
And in fifth place... @Vimthebest with the name Kareah!
In case anyone doesn't remember the prizes, they can be found here and they're quite generous. We will be awarding 20,000 IP to everyone who submitted name ideas on time as a participation prize! We want to thank everyone for participating. It was quite fun reading through all of the different name ideas.
So what does this mean for us? Will we see the change anywhere on site?
Of course! Some of our items will be getting a name change. The Globe Plushie and Icepets World Stamp will now be called Terrafrost Plushie and Terrafrost Stamp!
The World Map link has been changed to match the name of the world and now says Terrafrost. The Terrafrost map page will now mention the new name.

With the start of October comes the start of Icepets' Halloween festivities! We hope you're ready for this, we've got quite a heafty news post here.
To start off with, the boring stuf- er, I mean, the Storm Pet Morphing Potions and the Party Makoat Morphing Potion have been removed from the ICE Shop! The Storm Jakrit Morphing Potion has been moved into the Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion. The Storm Sharhsel Morphing Potion and Storm Traptur Morphing Potions are in the Treasure Chest.
This makes a little room for the Halloween Snow Jar! This Snow Jar will be stocking in the ICE Shop the entire month of October for 1,000 IC or 900 IC for Gold Account members.
The Halloween Morphing Potions and Halloween Snow Jar are stocking in the Snow Jar Igloo for the rest of the month! They will be stocking at the Rare rarity for now, this may change throughout the month. The Halloween Xephyr Morphing Potion will be in the Golden Touch for the whole month as well!
The Token Booth has a supply of familiar Autumn items in stock! These items will be available all throughout the Autumn season.
You better start pulling out your Empty Halloween Treat Bags from last year because you're going to need them for the Trick-Or-Treat event! If you don't have an Empty Halloween Treat Bag, never fear, since they will be stocking around NPC shops throughout the event!
Simply give one of these to your dressed up Halloween pet and visit the profiles of your fellow users to collect treats. Once full you will receive a Full Halloween Treat Bag which can be used to fill up all of your pets at once. That takes a lot of candy for anyone with a lot of pets...
Do you think you can get this Hidden Avatar this year?
What's that? You don't have a Halloween pet? Well that's okay! The Beauty King will turn one of your pets into a Halloween pet for free! This can only be used once, so choose your pet carefully!
We have a new Present for you to try to get your hands on! The new Spectral Present and the returning Scary Present will be stocking in the NPC shops throughout the month. They will be stocking at a Rare rarity, though this could possibly change. We're not going to tell you what's in the new Spectral Present, you will have to restock one to find out what's in it!
For anyone worried that this isn't enough news for the month, make sure you check the title of this post!
