IST The year is nearing its end - So it's time to get rid of some old stuff and replace it with something new! In this case though, we're just giving something old a new and updated look.   The Snow Shoe, a reward given out from the Snowman Quest and the Magnetic Chalkboard, stocking in Samuel's Toy Store, have received a face lift to match our current art style better. That's not it though!     That's right! The Rubber Earth Sword, Rubber Fire Sword, Rubber Ice Sword and Rubber Wind Sword have been redrawn. Don't you think they look a whole lot better now?  As mentioned before, 2015 is coming to an end. We hope it has been treating you well! Enjoy the festivities and stay safe. Love and best wishes from the IcePets Staff!

IST What could be better than ice cream? Ice cream plushies, of course!         We would advise not to try and eat any of these. In order, the Blueberry Ice Cream Cone Plushie, Blueberry Swirls Ice Cream Cone Plushie, Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Plushie, Chocolate Swirls Ice Cream Cone Plushie, Mint Ice Cream Cone Plushie, Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Plushie, Strawberry Swirls Ice Cream Cone Plushie and Vanilla Ice Cream Cone Plushie have all gone through some visual changes to look even more delicious.  In addition to that, the newly released Butterscotch Swirls Ice Cream Cone Plushie has joined the flock, stocking in Plushie Mania while being requested in both Samuel's and the Snowman's Quests. If you cannot see the revamps, try hard refreshing by pressing CTRL and F5. If that doesn't work for you, patience is key as the cache will update shortly.

IST The temperatures in Terrafrost have reached their lowest point. That means it's the perfect timing for some revamped Ice Creams, don't you think?         In order, the Blueberry Ice Cream, Blueberry Swirl Ice Cream, Butterscotch Swirl Ice Cream, Chocolate Ice Cream, Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream, Mint Ice Cream, Strawberry Ice Cream and Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream have all gone through a redraw. They look a lot tastier now, don't they? What? You don't like any of these flavours? Hmm... How about...  ... some Vanilla Ice Cream? Just like the other Ice Cream items, it will stock at Greg's Frozen Treats and be requested by the Snowman Quest.  Wait, wasn't December just sarting yesterday...?

IST   Now that Christmas is over, it's time for a little post-holiday Boxing Day Sale! From now until the end of December 27th you can find some of the following sales on our Support Site! Get them before they're gone.  That's right, we're bringing back the additional 50% Ice Cash bonus and this includes the double Treasure Chests!    Speaking of Treasure Chests, they've been given a bit of a revamp. They now give out TWO prizes instead of one, some of the older lesser prizes have been removed, and we've put in some exclusive items!     When you buy a Six Month Gold Account you will receive one FREE 'One Month Gold Account' item! When you buy a Twelve Month Gold Account, you will receive two FREE 'One Month Gold Account' items! Be quick and grab them while you can!  Want to fund an Item, Avatar, or Item Bundle? Well now you can submit a Request for a discount! Any requests submitted during the sale will be discounted by $1 or $2 if you buy the Item Bundle. Make your dream item or avatar idea come to life.  If you haven't already, don't forget to open the presents that are waiting for you under the Christmas Tree. Don't worry though, you will be able to open them for a year, so if you want to, you can take your time.  Jacob decided that it was time to clear his stock off of festive items - The six Christmas Ice Cubes can no longer be found in the Frozen Collectives Emporium.  Lastly, the Christmas Snow Jar. It will no longer stock in neither the Snow Jar Igloo nor the I.C.E. Shop. However, it seems like the Rave Ridix that holds the weekly Raffle is plotting something... It might be worth participating in this week's raffle! We hope you have been enjoying this year's festivities! Even though they might be over, there's still more to celebrate. Our beloved artist @ Quil will be streaming some of their art tomorrow, on the 27th of December! If you want to join in on the fun, make sure to be online from noon IST to 2 / 3 PM IST and check the news - We will be announcing the start of the live event.
