It looks like Akio and Ameil used up what was left of their powers to create some new Items for the Love vs Evil Store!
I hope you saved up some of your points because you will only be able to purchase these guys with points you earned from the Love vs Evil event! You'll be able to purchase these Items year round, so take your time in deciding how to spend your points! There might even be more Items in the shop in the near future, so saving some points would be wise...
One of the Items in the shop seems to have a special use. If you're ever in a bad mood, send one of these Evil Letters to a friend! Along with a very evil poem, they'll also get an evil Item out of it!
The new Evil Letter seems to be associated with this new Anti-Romance Hidden Avatar! Good luck trying to obtain this one, it might be easier to obtain if you're in a foul mood.

This year was pretty close up until the end! After everything was tallied up, there was a total of 99,943 points earned! If you're curious as to which team earned the most points for this year during the Love vs Evil event, you can find that out here.
Huzzah, another Stamp reward!
Handing in all of those Items really paid off! Users in the top five for points contributed have earned the Golden Competitor Stamp! Congratulations!
But wait, there's more! Wondering what to do with all of those accumulated points of yours? You can spend them in the Love vs Evil Store! You might want to save them though, there will be new prizes to buy tomorrow.
Yay, trophies!
Last, but not least, everyone who participated in this event can find a shiny new trophy or two on their profile after finding out who won.

Today's the day we show off our monthly recode progress, but unfortunately, there won't be any big news updates today. The reason why is because, sadly, I haven't had the time to work on the recode as much as I would have liked. There are a few reasons as to why I haven't been as productive as I should have been.
My Health - Since December 26th, I have had 2 stomach bugs, and 3 colds. Each of these more or less took me out of commission for a week each time, I just found myself exhausted at the end of the work day and needing to get away from my computer and because of that the recode suffered.
Planning a Server Migration - As I'm sure you've noticed, we have had a lot of issues in the past 2 months due to our offloaded mysql server randomly disappearing. Because of that, I have made an agreement with another hosting company, QNEZ, that we will migrate over to a server hosted by them We have done some preliminary tests of the server and the site appears to run a lot smoother and faster.
Maintenance Work - With all of the random downtime, we have missed 2 nightly resets within the last month, which is bad for the overall gameplay. We have now implemented automated logging of all of our scheduled tasks to make issues easier to spot. This is also the cause of the small mystery bugs we had (i.e. too many premium trophies being given, pages not working, etc.). We tried to test prior to launching but sadly missed a few things.
I know that the recode has been this big process thrown around a few years ago now, mostly to support larger features like the new battle system, as well as to be on some cutting edge technology. But we really need discussion from you, our loyal members, regarding the recode. We love hearing everyone's support for the progress as well as potential ideas for expanding features and developing new ones.
We want to ask some questions today, instead.
i) How would you feel about more focus being put on the current site, and developing new features to support IcePets through its current status? What are you hoping to get out of the recode? More users on the site? Better site functionality? A polished new look? More features?
ii) We value everyone's input more than we can express! Everyone who comments their thoughts and opinions on this post will receive a random Item from @Read! Thank you so much for continuing to play IcePets, we hope we can continue to develop IcePets into something spectacular!

It looks like some older Hidden Avatars have gotten new looks! The old DUCK!! Hidden Avatar even got its name changed to Ducky!!. It's very possible you may already have a few of these, so go check! If you do have them, you should try them out on the forums. They're definitely worth showing off.
If you haven't gotten the chance to unlock these Hidden Avatars, now is the perfect time. Who knows, maybe one of them will become your new favourite to use.
This is our last call for anyone looking to apply for a Moderator position! We're actively looking for two Moderators to join our team. If you're interested, please visit our Applications page for more information.
As a final reminder, the Love vs Evil event is going to end on February 21st at 23:59:59. You can find more information about this event by going to the Love vs Evil page. Turn in your items while you can. Good luck!

Ameil and Akio still need your help, and the Dabu duo are demanding even more Empty Heart Fragments and Full Hearts during the last stretch of the Love vs. Evil Event!
While you've been out collecting Empty Heart Fragments, Ameil and Akio managed to take just enough time out of their bickering and arguing to strike a deal with some Credit Shop owners. For a price, Empty Heart Fragments have been spotted in the Token Booth, Raffle Store, and even the Quest Store. Be quick! While there are new places to collect your Fragments, the event is going to end on February 21st at 23:59:59.

Aww, how cute!
If you have a young IcePet, are into collecting soft things, or love a chance to just go, 'Aww!,' then perhaps the new Dreamworld Dabu Plushie, funded by @Read, or Baby Stroller, funded by @Zizelly, would be right up your alley. Head on over to Plushie Mania if you're hoping to nab one of these adorable Plushies! They have also been added to the list of things that can be asked for when you do a Plushie Quest. Likewise, the Toy Shop is now restocking the Baby Stroller and it is now something that can be asked for when doing a Space Quest.
How creepily cute!
A few new Krittles have been spotted throughout Terrafrost. They seem to be more reclusive than any other Krittles and have only been spotted at night. To get your very own Skeletal Krittle, funded by @Skeleton, you can visit the Snow Jar Igloo to try and pick up a Skeletal Krittle Morphing Potion. Can't wait? These Potions can also be found in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash if you have a Gold Account) for the remainder of February.
Want to request your own Items? Check out the Requests Page to get started!

If you're looking for that special Krittle that will show you plenty of affection, then the new Love Krittle is your best bet! These Krittles are dedicated and loyal. They will stop at nothing to shower you with their attention.
On the contrary, if you're looking to go a slightly more sinister route, then the Evil Zabeu would be right up your alley. Evil Zabeus prefer to stick to themselves and are usually plotting something, like how to take over the world or how best to steal those cookies you keep hidden on your top shelf.
To obtain a Love Krittle, you can find the new Love Krittle Morphing Potion in the Snow Jar Igloo or, if you can't wait, in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 if you have a Gold Account). The Evil Zabeu can be obtained by using an Evil Snow Jar which can also be found restocking in the Snow Jar Igloo.

It's another chilly day in Glacia, but one that could be considered quite warm for the area. The market streets are bustling and, as usual, the Dragon Statue is abuzz with daily visitors new to the area, and those looking for a little guidance. A passing Traptur catches your eye, as does the basket he holds in his claws. The basket is filled with pale, grey fragments.
What could they possibly be for? Now that you look around, there are a lot of Pets carrying these curious gems with them.
POP! A Love Dabu appears in front of the Traptur in a pink cloud of smoke.
SNAP! An Evil Dabu appears as well in a thick, red smog.
Both of them bicker and fight over the fragments, which the Traptur drops as they flee from the commotion. Each Dabu picks up one of the gems, and then their attention turns to you...
The Love vs Evil Event is underway!
Ameil and Akio are a duo of Love and Evil Dabus who each have very different plans for the Festival of Love this year.
While Ameil, the Love Dabu, wants to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy, Akio, the Evil Dabu, wants to see Pets cause trouble and be mischievous!
Most Shop Keepers and Quest Givers have started to notice strange Empty Heart Fragments and are including them in their stocks and list of rewards.
Ameil and Akio have the powers to turn these fragments into something new. They need the powers granted to them from the Full Pure and Full Corrupted Hearts they create to fuel their rivalry, and the duo has taken it upon themselves to recruit as many Pets as they can for this contest of theirs. One must prevail! Ameil and Akio urge you to visit the Love vs. Evil Event Page for more information on how you can help them!

It's that time of the year again! Time to grab your hammers and get ready to smash those Jars, that is, unless you don't want any of prizes inside! Head over to Heart Attack and see if you can figure out all the prizes you can win this year.
If you crack open a jar and find a Pet Plushie, you win! If you don't win the main prize, there are some other, older goodies waiting for you. Hurry on down, since Heart Attack will close down on February 21st at 23:59:59.
It seems Love and Evil Pets all over Terrafrost are busy setting something up. We've asked, but they refuse to give us any information. Keep your eyes peeled, these sneaky Pets may be planning something for the near future.

Did you Know? Rainbow Krittles are known for hoarding paint cans, brushes, and other paint supplies! However, some Pets report that they are the least likely to share their Items, so keep that in mind before adopting one of these adorable creatures!
It looks like a new Rainbow Krittle has strolled into town! They may be on the hunt for some brand new paint supplies. While you can't lure them out with the promise of freshly bought paint, you can head on down to the Jigsaw Puzzle and mix together some Morphing Potions and see if you like the result. If you just can't wait to get your paws on it, head on over to the I.C.E Shop and get yours for only 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts!).
Good luck with your concoctions!
We are looking for two new Moderators! Moderators help keep an eye out for rule breakers all across the site. They must have a clear understanding of the Terms and Conditions, and be able to resolve conflicts in a patient, reasonable way while coming to the best solution for everyone involved.
Do you have what it takes? If you become a Moderator, you'll be paid in IceCash for your service to the site. To learn more about the service and positions, visit our Applications Page!

A couple of old Stamps have received a name change. When searching for these Stamps, be sure to search for Silly Cobron Stamp instead of Cobron Stamp and Golden Jakrit Stamp instead of Jakrit Stamp!
Oh, what are these?
There are some new Stamps as well! These new Stamps are taking the old names of Cobron Stamp and Jakrit Stamp. You will no longer need the old ones for the IcePets StampJigsaw Puzzle. Instead, you will need the two new Stamps. These new Stamps can be found restocking in the Post Office.
