Well, someone certainly has a soft spot for plushies! "Soft"... Get it?@ mortiest seems to be big a fan of stuffed IcePets! Thanks to them, you can now find the Party Cobron Plushie, Crystal Ridix Plushie and Pinata Trido Plushie in Plushie Mania. That means Samuel is looking for them too! Stuffed IcePets and... stuffed spaceships! The new UFO Plushie and Rocketship Plushie are also available for everyone, including Samuel! On a sadder note, @ Luventas has decided to leave the team due to real life obligations. We are heartbroken to let her go, but we are all honoured to have worked with her. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this site. We're sure life has amazing new challenges for you - good luck! However, that also means another Editor position is available! Do you consider yourself a creative person? Are you proud of your English skills? Have you always wished to work with the IcePets Staff? Why don't you apply? We can't wait to read your applications!

25,000 Quests! You did it!The final Stretch Goal has been reached in our Questing Contest! Glacia looks cleaner than it has in years and the Chocolate Lover even reported a line of people in front of their house, all dying to hand in items. Great work, everyone! With the completion of Stretch Goal #8, an additional 2 day Gold Account prize has been added to the Top Tier prize pool (making their total reward equal 8 days)! An additional 2 days has also been added to the Middle Tier prize pool (making their total reward equal 6 days)! And last, but not least, 3 days of Gold Account time has been added to the Bottom Tier's prize pool (making their total reward equal 4 days). These prizes, like the Main Goal's prizes, will not be awarded until Friday, after the Questing Contest has ended. Don't go slacking off, now, though! Keep doing your Quests and keep those streets clean. These last Quests may make the difference between being in the Bottom or Middle tier, or even the Top Tier!

Interesting, the prize looks very fluffy... Are you up for the challenge?

After a long, hard, and tiring battle, we again congratulate Team Evil as this year's winner. In their heinous honor, we proudly present... the Evil Dabu! Oooh, what a perfectly malevolent creature...The Morphing Potion will be available in the I.C.E Shop until May 1st and is now restocking at the Snow Jar Igloo as well. Have you visited the Love vs Evil Store yet this year? If you happened to purchase the Supreme Evil Profile Skin, it is now usable on your profile. In addition, this year's book, Love vs Evil 2016 An Analysis, is now readable. One more thing... It seems as though the Evil pets of Terrafrost have celebrated a little too hard! On Saturday, March 19th there will be downtime starting at 8:00pm IST. The Love pets are working hard cleaning up the mess and they say that the downtime should only be for about an hour. We will keep you updated as to the progress on Facebook and Twitter.

Lately, many Terrafrostians have been kind of ignorant when it comes to items. When walking through the streets of Glacia, you can see huge piles of discarded items lying everywhere, with nobody caring to put them away where they belong. Streets have even started to stink and one morning during Samuel's morning walk, he slipped on a banana peel and nearly broke his arm. "Enough!" Samuel shouted, startling some nearby Terrafrostians. "This can't continue any longer!" Wasting no time, he immediately called for an emergency town meeting. "The streets are a mess", Samuel began. "We need help from all of you to turn Glacia back into the beautiful city it once was. So, the other Quest givers and I have thought of some prizes to give to you, fine citizens of Terrafrost, if you help us clean up the streets! We will even throw in some extra prizes if you manage to make it look spotless!" That's right, it's Contest Time! It's up to you, Terrafrostians, to complete as many Quests as you can from today until the end of the month! Time to make those streets look brand new again! Of course there are Prizes to be won! Everyone who participated will be divided into either the top, middle or lowest tier based on how many Quests they've completed at the end of the contest. Top TierGold Questing Contest 2016 Trophy Pet Slot (added to their account) 200 Quest Points 1 Collection item of choice added to inventory (No retired items or Golden Competitor Stamp) Middle TierSilver Questing Contest 2016 Trophy 100 Quest Points 2 Random collection items added to collection (No retired items or Golden Competitor Stamp. If your collection is full, you will receive two random collection items in your inventory) Lowest TierBronze Questing Contest 2016 Trophy 50 Quest Points 1 Random collection item added to collection (No retired items or Golden Competitor Stamp. If your collection is full, you will receive one random collection item in your inventory) So, what are you waiting for? Grab your items, sign up for the contest and get questing! Note: You have to sign up (by clicking on the Sign me up button at the bottom of the contest page) in order for your completed Quests to count. All the Quests you've done for the day will start counting on the day you sign up. So if you already did your Quests for today, they will still count if you sign up today.

It's time to release some more user requests! Firstly, @ Cowpro must have come to the conclusion that Terrafrost needs more chocolates... Those tiny paws are so cute!... or is he planning on world domination with this new army? Yum!Either way, the new Cobron, Dabu, Traptur, Trido and Xephyr Chocolates are available in the usual flavours, White, Milk and Dark Chocolate, and all fifteen are stocking in Sugar Rush! Do you want to add the new Dark Chocolates to your Gourmet Collection but are too impatient to restock them? Fear not! They are also available through the Token Booth! A certain chocolate someone will also ask you for them. I never thought a shell could be this soft...Just when you thought @ Luventas had had enough Sharshels, the new Pinata Sharshel Plushie mysteriously turned up in the Staff headquarters! We had no other option than to let Plushie Mania sell them so you can hand them over when Samuel asks for them. Awwww...After seeing that Sharshel, I thought IcePets couldn't get any cuter. Turns out @ Spit proved me wrong by funding the Space Ridix Plushie! While you're restocking the Sharshel plushies, you might as well buy a few of these! Don't forget to get some extra ones for Samuel. Oh god, it's EVERYWHERE.Now you need to celebrate. But how? Don't worry! @ Varyntha has got your partying covered by funding this Sparkly Glitter! You can find it in the Grooming Parlor. How curious, as I was getting back from Meteora, I thought I saw a rocketship... @ Cowpro must be involved again!

After reading carefully through your votes, this month's Member of the Month goes to... @ SpunkiSpirouYou're the winner of this month's Member of the Month! You will receive 50,000 IcePoints and this exclusive avatar: Some of the wonderful things mentioned about SpunkiSpirou: - Because he has been an outgoing and friendly person, my nomination is SpunkiSpirou. He doesn't hesitate to post suggestions and help out whenever I or someone else needs it and is an all-around cool guy. - SpunkiSpirou is always very active and helpful in the community, and really kind and generous! They definitely deserve to win MOTM this month! - When I found out that this user had never been MotM before, I was truly shocked! O: So I knew immediately who was going to be my nominee this month. I believe that SpunkiSpirou should be the next Member of the Month because he helps people out in an ongoing fashion all the time. SpunkiSpirou helps people to get limited items, I.C.E Shop items, and Gold Accounts at decent IP prices when they can't get their own IC or otherwise use real money online. And, in doing so, also helps IcePets itself by giving it some funding that I'm sure a free site without public advertisements probably needs. I've seen him help people when they seem to need it and answer people's questions when he can. He seems to always be friendly and have a positive attitude and I've never seen him be rude or disrespectful to anyone. As for this month's Staff of the Month, give a big congratulations to... @ QuilQuil is a super helpful member of the team. Besides working lightning fast and turning out amazing Pets and Items, they are always around to help with other tasks when needed. To celebrate, we've created the following item in their honour! Set of Wooden RunesDo you know how to get this item? Personally, I'd love to know how to draw it. But don't spring away just yet – That's not all the news we have for you today! The Token Booth has changed its seasonal stock to the spring set! New items have been added, and old items return via the Spring Goodie Bag. Now all previous spring seasonal Token Booth items can be found in this item. Open a goodie bag and you will randomly receive one item from previous years' spring stock. (This item does not contain the current year's seasonal stock.) That's not all that is new this month! The new month brings a new batch of items in the I.C.E. Shop! These adorable new items are available for 500 IceCash each ( 450 IceCash for Gold Users), and will only be around until the end of the month... But those Baby Shoes are so cute, I want to freeze and preserve them forever. And finally, the Firebreathing Wulfer Morphing Potion has been removed from the I.C.E. Shop and is now only available in the Snow Jar Igloo.
