Jacob at the Frozen Collective Emporium has noticed a change in some of the stock. The Basic Snow Jar Ice Cubes have all been redesigned to match their updated counterparts on site. This includes the Black, Blue, Brown, Cottoncady, Green, Grey, Ice, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Snowdrift, Turquoise, White, and Yellow Ice Cubes.




If you wish to view the old Ice Cubes, along with any other old IcePets artwork, you can always check them out over at our Image Archive.
Don't forget to do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 or Fn+F5) to view the latest updates!

Some brand new User Requests appear in the grass. Check out these gorgeous new releases, Plushie Makoat Plushie and Plushie Lugra Plushie funded by @Nexinhah and @mochihugs respectively. They restock at Plushie Mania and are given out as prizes from the Book Quest. But watch out, Samuel's going to want them for his Plushie Quest in one week.



The beautiful little Dot Painting Ducky, funded by @POURRITURE, restocks at the Toy Shop or you might get lucky and find it as a reward from Samuel's Plushie Quest. Be warned though, you'll be turning it for Space Quest in one week.



Last but not least, the darling little Pinata Cobron has arrived! I wonder what secrets they have to tell you. This amazing pet was funded by @POURRITURE. You can find the Pinata Cobron Morphing Potion restocking at the Snow Jar Igloo but if you just have to have one now, they'll be in the I.CE Shop for the rest of the month at 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Account Users). It will remain there until the end of February.

Thanks to some deep-sea exploring from @TakoNigiri, a new Mythical Pet found their way to the surface and decided to stay. Little is known about Mythical Lugrae, aside from the fact that they plague many sailors nightmares. These Lugrae spend most of their time in the water, where they make their homes. They can breathe air and secrete a special oil that helps keep them completely dry, in and out of the water.



If you are interested in bringing one of these Mythical Lugra home, you can purchase a Mythical Snow Jar from the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 IceCash for Gold Account Users).





Tables are being wiped down, signs are appearing all over Terrafrost, and the Voting Booth is open once again. All of this hustle and bustle can only mean one thing! It's time to vote for Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Terrafrostians can vote for up to 3 users to win 100,000 IcePoints and the Member of the Month Avatar.



Two winners will be chosen each month, one for the Free Vote MOTM, which includes all members except Staff, and the Yet to Win MOTM, which includes anyone who hasn't previously won MOTM. If you win the Free Vote and you have already won MOTM, you will receive an Honoured Member Trophy.



Remember!

- You cannot nominate yourself or members of staff.
- Do not ask other users to vote for yourself or other members.
- Send your nominations here!

You have until January 31st at 23:59:59 to submit your vote. Winners will be announced on February 1st!

Ralph received quite a surprise when opening his newest shipment. It seems a few of the book's stories changed! Ralph was quick to write up a list, telling his customers that Blue or Yellow and Book of Shadows have brand new content to read! See if you can pick up a copy at Books or visit the Library if you already own them!



Not to be left behind, Ducky Ducky Foldout has also received updated art and content! You can still find this at the Golden Touch.



After much deliberation from Samuel, he decided the current Skeletal Ducky will be renamed to X-Ray Ducky. Also, a brand new Skeletal Ducky, funded by @Silvy, will stock on the shelves of the Toy Shop! Head on over and grab one for yourself! The new Skeletal Ducky will now be rewarded by the Plushie Quest and will be requested by the Space Quest in one week.

If you cannot see the new images, a hard refresh using Ctrl-F5 or Fn-F5 should fix it.

Put down your paintbrushes and pencils, because the coloring contest is finished. Our Terrafrostians really outdid themseleves this year! Please check out the wonderful entries at the and vote for your favourite pair of Lugrae! Voting will take place until January 21st at 11:59:59. (IcePets time).

If you visited the requests page recently, you may have noticed an increase in cost of items you can purchase. This is due to an increase in pay for our artists and staff. Artists were previously paid only $3 USD for their Item art. It can take hours for a proper piece of work to come into play and after many years we have been able to increase this to now $7 USD per Item produced. All other artwork has increased in price as well; including for example pets going from $20 USD to the artist to $30 USD. The prices reflect artist cost, paypal fees, and about $2 USD to the site.

Our summary page is still being fine tuned, but soon you will be able to see all expenses in detail. We will also be including a list of how much each team member can earn based on their work once the page is finished. Most still prefer IceCash; however, USD is now an option for everyone. This is all in a huge part thanks to everyone here and your support!

After reading this you may be wondering about a programmer and updates on alpha. We have someone who is interested in working for us to help get alpha in action; however, we are still working out some details. As we have more news to share, we'll keep you all posted.



If you are interested in working for IcePets you can always view openings through the support site.



If you missed the live stream of @Shibe, one of our outstanding artists, you can now view it on YouTube. You can watch her colour two of our upcoming Pets!

Down from the stars comes a new addition to your Closet, the Space Makoat! You can find the Space Makoat Morphing Potion in the Quest Store for 500 QP, so be sure to get questing to get your very own! If you don't want to wait you can always purchase one in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)! They will be removed from the I.C.E Shop at the end of the month.





Terrafrost's technological wizards have been at it again, and the Tech Traptur has been reprogramed with a fancy new look! The Tech Traptur Morphing Potion can still be found in the Snow Jar Igloo, so keep an eye out.

Another week of festivities in Terrafrost begins, as Pinata Mania changes its consolation prizes. The old ones will no longer be given out, but keep an eye out for some shiny new prizes.

Get smashing!







During their travels, a couple Terrafrostians decided to fund some new items for everyone to enjoy. @POURRITURE worked closely with Samuel to fund a new plushie, the Mythical Snow Jar Plushie. It will be stocking in the Plushie Mania. One week from now, Samuel will be requesting it in his Plushie Quest. Penelope is also very excited to reward it in her Book Quest.



Afterwards, @POURRITURE worked with Jacob to create the new Cubed Snow Jar Ice Cube. Freeze a Cubed Snow Jar to get one today!



@Nexinhah, during a lovely walk, discovered some new Herji and coaxed them into finding a new home at Jacobi�s Companion Reserve. You can now find the Cottoncandy, Blooming, Fairy, Winter, and Patchwork Herji patiently waiting to find their forever home!

Each year brings new experiences and memories and the best way to remember them is by snapping a photo! For this year's colouring contest, we were able to get our hands on a very special photo from some resident Lugrae.


(Open the image in a new tab to see the full size!)

Our resident Shopkeepers received their latest shipment and will be stocking (with the exception of Golden Touch and Snow Jar Igloo) all of the 2020 Pinatas until January 23rd. Pinatas will also be added to quest prize pools until January 23rd . Some returning Items are also making their debut as quests rewards! Check out your Quest Rewards Books to see who is showing up where. You will also find the Firework Ducky, New Years Hat, New Years Eve Rocket Stamp, Fireworks Earrings, New Years Necklace, and Firework Ice Cube restocking in their respective NPC shops. Go forth and good luck getting your hands on these various Items!



IcePets will also have an art stream showcasing the progress on some new pets on January 11th at 12:00:00 IcePets time. You can watch it on our Twitch channel and earn yourself a nifty avatar!

Happy New Year to all of our wonderful Users. We hope 2020 will be a great year for all of you! Thank you so much for your continued support and for sticking with us through some rocky times. IcePets wouldn't be the site it is without our amazing community!



Pinata Mania is open and ready for you to smash open some pinatas! You can try your luck at finding one of the new Pinata Items or grab a few consolation prizes in your search. The game ends once the Pinata Item is found and a new game will start every half hour. Your last day to smash pinatas will be January 22nd, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so smash as many Pinatas as you can!



Some previous Pinata Mania Items will be making their way into the mix, so keep your eyes peeled. As a note, using a UHD from the I.C.E Shop will reduce the cooldown time for smashing pinatas.




The votes have been tallied, and it's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! For this month's Yet to Win MOTM, everyone congratulate...

@brokenribbon

Thank you for making IcePets a better place! Here are our favourite things about brokenribbon:

- - She hosted one of the giveaways this month and I was shocked to see she hadn't been nominated before! She is a very kind and thoughtful member, always there to help.
- Brokenribbon is always running giveaways, helping people out, and I saw her post suggesting a quest event once a day every month. I liked that! She deserves some recognition.



Next up, the winner of the Free for All MOTM, please congratulate...

@Nati

Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community! Here are our favourite things about Nati:

- She did an amazing job helping those who wanted to be pinged for the Advent Calendar and she kept the thread updated really quickly.
- Nati did a great job getting everyone in a festive spirit! They definitely deserve the recognition for it.



Both of these fantastic members will receive 100,000 IcePoints and either the exclusive Member of the Month Avatar, or, if they already have it, the Honoured Member Trophy.







While member votes were tallying for MOTM, Staff votes tallied for SOTM, and this month's winner is...
