Have you been feeling unmotivated to get all the Jakrit Eggs?
Hopefully not! However, if you have, you might want to take a peek at the recently restockedEaster Store!
In this store you are able to trade your hard earned Easter Credits for these new items, which include a Stamp, a Weapon, Toys, and more! Do you have enough eggs? Why not try and get some more while the event is still going?

It seems like you're managing to find the Jakrit Eggs! I bet you thought you were fast enough. Well, you're wrong! The Jakrits couldn't possibly let you catch up to them – help has arrived!
It must have come in a rush, there is paint everywhere!
If you want your pet to join the fun, you can find the Rainbow Jakrit Morphing Potion in the Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion.
To celebrate this new colour, the Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion will be available through the I.C.E Shop and Snow Jar Igloo until the first of June!
I've heard someone comment that that's not all the help the Jakrits have requested... I wonder what comes next.

Wait, wasn't April just starting yesterday...? Who knew it is already time to vote for the next Member of the Month (or MOTM for short)! This means that you, the users of IcePets, will select who you think is deserving of receiving 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.
Both of them will be writing all of the newest descriptions, book content, and more! They will also be on the lookout for pesky errors in older content! Send your warm welcomes their way! And, if you find any writing errors in previous content, send either of them a message!

Today's the day! Once a month we preview a part of our ongoing recode, be it big or small, to show some of our progress and to encourage suggestions.
It's time for another Recode Preview and this preview is... Shops!
From creating a shop to upgrading and editing it, things have been given a fresh new coat of paint.
Both User Shops and NPC Shops can now be searched for specific items so you're able to find exactly what you're looking for!
A hugely requested change will be made to the way the Autopricer works. We've made this much more user-friendly. The suggested price will fill in automatically so you don't accidentally underprice items without any confirmation! Of course, we don't want to spoil all of the fun but we've added new features to shop management. Hint hint, notice the Auto Labeller I wonder what that does .
If you want to see more of the stores in action, why not check out the live stream from last week?
We want to strongly encourage everyone to post any of their ideas for the site on our Ideas & Suggestions board. While some suggestions aren't possible for the current site, your suggestions may help shape what's to come!

You've been hunting the Jakrit Eggs that the pesky Jakrits have hidden, right? Right? We hope so!
This new upgradable trophy is available to everyone participating in this year's Jakrit Hunt! Do you think you can find enough Eggs to get the Gold Jakrit Egg Hunt 2016? We have adjusted the chances to get certain Eggs to make some tasks a little easier!
So you can monitor your progress to work towards these trophies, we've added stats to the Jakrit Egg Hunt 2016 page! You can now see how many total tasks you have completed as well as how many total days you have completed.
Have you seen enough Jakrits around? No? Well maybe now you can! The Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion can be found in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash with a Gold Account) as well as in the Snow Jar Igloo at the Uncommon rarity.
The Five Random Jakrit Eggs item is also making a return to the I.C.E Shop for 250 IceCash (or 225 IceCash with a Gold Account!)
Inventory full? Well now you can delete items even if you go over your inventory limit! You can also use the 1 Inventory Upgrade, 5 Inventory Upgrade, and 10 Inventory Upgrade items even if your inventory is full!
On a sadder note, @Dillon has decided to leave the team due to real life obligations. We are very sad to see him go, but he made an amazing impact on our team. Thank you for all your hard work for the site. Good luck with everything!
This means that a new position has opened up for the Graphic Artist position! If you like making avatars, graphics, banners, and maybe even a bit of pixel art, this position may be for you. You can read about and apply for this position here.

Have you been able to get your paws on the new Jakrit Eggs? Are the Jakrits too evasive? I feel like they're mocking me...
Now you can also restock them from NPC shops or get them as Quest prizes! That's right, you can find them stocking at Rarity 3, and get them from all quests!
What are you waiting for? Those Jakrits are fast, get moving!

We're now live! @Judda is livestreaming his magical coding skills and you're all invited! Grab your snacks, ready your questions, and come chat with us for the next two hours!

Thank you, everyone, for voicing your opinion on themes for the I.C.E Shop items!
The winning themes are... Witchcraft / Magic and Royal! Keep an eye out for the upcoming I.C.E Shop items!
The previous topic has been locked and we've created a new one! What would you like to see next? Remember, this poll will close in June!
That's not all! After seeing the Lab Coat being used without any of the safety measures fulfilled, @Tradgoedia decided to show us how it's done! You can get your new Safety Glasses at the Grooming Parlor.

That's a lot of eggs! Wouldn't it be nice if we could freeze them?
Well now you can! Insert your new Jakrit Eggs into the Ice Box and get your hands on these beauties! Warning: They are probably very cold.
Speaking of eggs, didn't you notice one was missing?
Bounce... bounce!
That's right! I meant the egg from the Easter Avatar, which is back to celebrate with you! Can you get enough of them before the event is over?
Before you go hunting, remember @Judda will be hosting another Programming Livestream on Friday the 15th, at 10 AM IST! Come hang out, ask questions, and watch some coding magic happen. You can find our stream by following this link! Why don't you show up?
They've hidden Jakrit Eggs all over the site, but this time they're expecting you to work for it! Complete tasks every day and earn Jakrit Eggs as a reward. For some of the tasks it may take more than one try to complete it, so don't give up if you don't get the Jakrit Eggs right away!
Of course these new Jakrit Eggs come with new prizes! When opening your Earth, Fire, Ice, Wind or Elements Jakrit Eggs you may find one of the following new items: Braided Egg Bread, Carrot Shaped Ice Cube, Chocolate Coin, Easter Dabu Plushie, Egg Candles, How to Hide Jakrit Eggs, Dragon Fruit Dovu Marshmallows, Kiwi Dovu Marshmallows, Mango Dovu Marshmallows, Pineapple Dovu Marshmallows, Plum Dovu Marshmallows or one of the new egg-exclusive items. Can you collect them all?
Small notice, after discovering a nest of Jakrit Eggs we've come to the conclusion that Jakrit Eggs do, in fact, originate from Jakrits. There is still much we don't know about our Pets and how they live, but we've changed the names of the Jakrit Eggs from "Plastic Jakrit Egg" to "Jakrit Egg", and all empty versions of the eggs are now called "Empty [name] Jakrit Egg" to reflect reality.
Their love for plushies remains strong! It is quite clear if you take a look at the new Plushie Dabu Plushie (funded for Remlyn), Flying Makoat Plushie (funded for Nexinhah), Crystal Sharshel Plushie (funded for Luventas), Fairy Ori Plushie (funded for LinkArctic) and Halloween Novyn Plushie (funded for psyqualia)!
The plushie craze must be contagious. @Shibe has brought a Bomb Plushie onto the site too! Isn't it adorable? The Weapon Quest seems to think so.
You can find all these new plushies stocking at Plushie Mania, which means Samuel wants them too!
Want to fund your own content? You should take a look at the Requests page!

Careful, the beverage you're about to enjoy is hot!
There you are in the morning, still tired from waking up way too early, cradling your just ordered cup of coffee when your eyes fall on the name they've written down. "Wait, that's not how you spell my name!" Sounds familiar? Well, it did to @Dillon who requested this new item! The Misspelled Coffee Cup is now stocking in the Food Mall. It has also been added to the Space Quest request pool.
You know who loves zombies? I love zombies! And so does @Arkyfire, who has funded the new I Heart Zombies Stamp! It's stocking in the Post Office. Get it quick before the stamp-eating zombie eats the whole thing! (I'm kidding, there's no such thing as a stamp zombie... right?)

A few years ago, an assortment of prank artifacts were released during a time of whimsy and capriciousness. To both the inherent dismay of innocent Terrafrostians and the dastardly delight of prankster denizens, these items eventually mingled their way into people's daily lives and ascended into a state of ubiquity.
With signs of changing times and a movement for higher product quality standards, the Glacia shopkeepers have decreed a revamp for these prank items and are proud to announce their release.
The newly printed Prankster Squirt Pen Stamp, Prankster Inverse Tuna Gum Stamp, and Prankster Fake Spider Stamp are at the Post Office.
Samuel from the Toy Shop will be selling the newly remade Prankster Tiny Shoes, Prankster Tiny Hat, Prankster Sneezing Powder, Prankster Deck of Cards, Prankster Glasses, Prankster Fake Spider, Prankster Squirting Pen, and Prankster Tuna Gum.
Note: If you are still seeing the old images, you may need to refresh or wait for the cache to update.
According to some mysterious sources, the manufactures of the Suspicious Presents are also joining the pranking mood with some new additions of the chaotic variety...
The BANG! Gun, Exploding Top Hat, Novyn in a Can, Prankster Whoopee Cushion, and Prankster Horn potentially await upon opening one of these presents. Beware of some Prankster Pets using them, too!

What a marvelous March we had! The Questing Contest had a fantastic turn out. Congratulations to our top three questers who will each receive a highly coveted Golden Competitor Stamp:
In addition, the Collect page is now up and running! Here you will find more detailed results of your work in the contest. If you managed to place in the Top Tier, please message Read the name of the collection item of your choice to be magically added into your inventory that, no doubt, is full of other questing rewards. Remember, the prize you choose may not be a retired item or a Golden Competitor Stamp.
In other news, we're sure you're noticing some odd things happening around our normally colorful website. Is it a glitch? I'm looking at you Coding Monkeys. Will Terrafrost ever be the same again? Oh dear...
Trying to keep our spirits up while the notorious coding monkeys figure this thing out, staff have reduced the rarity of Prankster Pies, which can be purchased at the infamous Sugar Rush.
You will also be able to find the elusive Suspicious Present in all NPC shops at a rarity of 3. You'll see these two items restocking this frequently for only a week before their rarities are raised again!
As we ring in the new month, you'll find that April I.C.E Shop items are now stocked in your favorite shop, the I.C.E Shop! Below you can see the pretties that are waiting to be bought!
The Pirate Dovu Morphing Potion has been removed from the shop, as well as March's limited stock items.
And now for Member of the Month... Say congratulations to...
- mortiest? More like BESTIEST! - Whenever I speak to mortiest, they're positive and resourceful. - They've always been incredibly thoughtful, sending gifts to me when I didn't even ask for them!
As for this month's Staff of the Month, say congratulations to...
Nyssa is an incredible asset to the IcePets team, always going above and beyond to help out the staff, site, and users! She is a beloved friend to us all and without Nyssa to keep us organized and working smoothly, we certainly would not be as efficient as we are now!

Hmm... I hear that she hasn't spoken with real people in a long time. I bet her people skills are rusty... What about yours?
