Do you hear that? Beyond the sound of Haunting and Grave Digger games is something ominous... it seems the Haunted House is seeing more activity than usual! Screams are coming from that direction, but so are happy Terrafrostians with great prizes in tow. It seems that the Haunted House is available once an hour all day today, until 23:59:59 IcePets Time! There's no better time to face your fears and collect those prizes!



With Phantom's Hallows finally here, the end is in sight for many of Terrafrost's Phantasmoire activities. Grave Digger, Haunting, and the Ghost Hunt all will end for the year at 23:59:59 IcePets time on October 31st. Similarly, the Sweet Present, the Phantasmoire Morphing Potions and Phantasmoire Snow Jar will no longer be restocking for the year after this time. Voting will also end for the Spooky Companion Design Contest as well, so don't forget to vote! We hope you will have a safe and sweet Phantom's Hallows, whatever your plans are!

With all of the spookiness that comes with Phantasmoire, you may be looking for something soft and adorable to cuddle with when you're feeling scared. Fortunately, these adorable Phantasmoire Jakrit Plushies are as adorable as they are festive! And if one wasn't enough, don't worry--we're releasing six different versions, all funded by @Lokki! Stop by the Plushie Palace if you'd like to get your hands on a Phantasmoire Jakrit Plushie, Ghastly Phantasmoire Jakrit Plush, Wicked Phantasmoire Jakrit Plush, Ominous Phantasmoire Jakrit Plush, Noxious Phantasmoire Jakrit Plush, and the Sinister Phantasmoire Jakrit Plush. Or if you're in the mood for questing, you can also get them as a reward from the Book Quest! The Plushie Quest will be looking for them next week, so you may want to pick up some extras while you're at it.



Brr! Are you feeling chilly? You'll want to unpack your winter coats, because the Snowman Quest will be buffed this weekend! From today until October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, you'll be able to do double the quests and receive twice as many prizes.

Throughout the season of Phantasmoire, more and more of our spooky Pets have been getting some makeovers. Some of our newest revamps are the Evil Dovu, Evil Ridix, Evil Traptur, Evil Audril, and the Evil Ori! Whether you already own one of these ominous Pets or you've been planning to get one soon, you can expect them to look better than ever.




And it's not just the Pets themselves getting makeovers, either! The Evil Snow Jar, as well as the revamped Pets' respective Morphing Potions, have also received a wicked new look.



We hope you're not tired of digging graves yet, because starting today, Grave Digger will be starting a new game every fifteen minutes (as opposed to the usual 30). This shortened cooldown will continue until the game ends on October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.





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 October 31st at 23:59:59 to submit your vote. Winners will be announced on November 1st!

Have your Pets been craving some sweets? You're in luck -- the Sweet Present has arrived! You can find it on the shelves of all your favorite NPC Shops (except for Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch), so be sure to keep your eyes peeled while you're out shopping. If you get your hands on one of these festive goody boxes, you can get one of many mysterious, sugary, Phantasmoire-themed Items.



The Companion Design contest has come to an end, and now it's time to start voting! Head over to the contest page to pick your favorite spooky Companion. Remember, the entry that wins will be made into a real Companion, so choose wisely! Voting ends October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so make sure to head on over to the polls before then.

Get your confetti canons ready, because today is a very special day for IcePets -- it's our 12 year anniversary!

Whether you joined today or have been here from the beginning, we are all sincerely grateful that you're here. Our friendly and growing community is what makes IcePets such a wonderful place to be!

We have had some hardships here and there, but the site continues to improve every day -- and it's all thanks to our amazing userbase. As our community continues to grow, you can expect more exciting changes and developments in the years to come!



Do you have a fond memory of IcePets that you'd like to share? If you do, consider sharing that memory with us in the comments section below! Everyone who participates will receive a delicious Birthday Cake as a symbol of our gratitude. Make sure to share your memory before October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. Those who participated can expect to receive their rewards soon afterwards.



Ready to party? So is the brand new Party Krittle! This Pet has arrived just in time for the anniversary celebration. They have a big sweet tooth, so be sure to order plenty of cake for any festivities you have planned. If you'd like to have this adorable Pet as your own, you can get a Party Krittle Morphing Potion at the Snow Jar Igloo. Alternatively, you can pick one up at the I.C.E Shop for just 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Users.)



The party's not over yet! We're also releasing a brand new profile skin; as of now, everyone has access to the new Ice Profile Skin. Additionally, we've revamped the Gold!, Evil Jakrit, and Cubed! Profile Skins. If you've been looking for an opportunity to give your profile a new look, now's a better time than ever.



Not wanting to be left out of the party, the Gold! Avatar has also received a new look to match the updated Gold! Profile Skin. The Forgotten Room didn't forget about its other special avatar, the Vintage Phonograph Avatar, which will no longer appear under the custom avatar section of avatars, but is now considered a hidden avatar just like the Gold Avatar.



We also have some great news for Avatar lovers: starting today, all Users will have access to the Ice Novyn Avatar. It's now easier than ever to show off your love for this chilly new colour!



Finally, the Scarab Amulet has returned to the I.C.E Shop. It'll be available from today until October 23rd, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so be sure to snatch it up while you have the chance.

The IcePets Team wants to give a huge thank you to our wonderful community. Visit the Staff Page today and receive an extra Staff Goodie bag!

Have you felt something ominous in the air lately? We have, and we've been searching for the answers. Chasing the dark feelings has led us somehow to the Snow Jar Igloo!







Gasp! It looks like some of the Evil Pets have received brand new looks! The Evil Makoat, Cobron, and Wulfer have all received updated artwork- for themselves and their Potions!





It seems even the Evil Xephyr and Jakrit have joined in the ghoulish glee! Both of them, and their respective potions, have received these new looks as well! Aren't they dastardly? You can purchase all of these Potions in the Snow Jar Igloo, except for the Xephyr and Jakrit. The Evil Xephyr Morphing Potion can only be found at the Golden Touch, while the Evil Jakrit Morphing Potion can only be obtained through the Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion during Novitaria; alternatively, you can use an Evil Snow Jar on a Jakrit to unlock it as well. We hope you enjoy these devilishly-cool looks!

If you are having trouble seeing the new artwork, try doing a hard refresh using Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac.



Don't forget - the current Contest entries are due soon! If you would like to design a wonderful Phantasmoire Companion, and have it join the wonderful world of Terrafrost, this is your chance! Please visit here to read all of the rules, and submit your entries to mochihugs by October 22nd, 23:59:59 if you would like to participate.

Have you had your eye on the Token Booth recently? If not, you might want to start, because we're swapping out the last batch of old Phantasmoire themed Items! Starting today, you can get the Bat Plush, Candycorn, Pumpkin Soup, and Pumpkin Ice Cube at the Token Booth. These will be available until October 23rd, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so be sure to give Cecie a visit and stock up on some tokens.



Additionally, until October 30th, you can now visit the Haunted House every two hours. You now have more chances than ever to see some spooky sights and potentially snatch up some prizes!

Boo! Did we scare you? Phantasmoire is in full swing, and the sweet n' spooky season is bringing tons of scary surprises for you and your Pets! Grave Digger is open once again for Phantasmoire this year, with all new prizes -- wait, is that a Sweet Present hiding down there...?

Grave Digger will refresh every 30 minutes once a present has been found! You can search once every 30 seconds (or once every 15 seconds if you have used the UHD on select features around the site, found in the I.C.E. Shop). Grave Digger will be available until October 31st at 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so get digging while you can!



For the rest of this weekend, the Snowman Quest will be buffed! From the 15th until the 17th at 23:59:59 PM IST, all Snowman Quests will have double the daily limit, and double the prizes. What a chilling surprise!

As of recently, you may have noticed some spooky happenings here and there. Perhaps you feel a sudden chill while you're alone in the house, or you hear a creak in the floorboards during the night. No need to fear, though--it's just the ghosts of Terrafrost!

These ghosts are super friendly and will do you no harm. In fact, if you happen to encounter one, you'll have the opportunity to "trick" or "treat", and possibly get a prize out of it. These ghosts speak in ancient spooky tongues, however, so they'll have trouble communicating with your Pets... unless they have a Phantasmoire colour. The ghosts will disappear again October 31st 23:59:59 (IcePets Time) so if you want to pay them a visit, do it soon!



There's a limit to how many ghosts you'll encounter in one day. However, if you obtain a Ouija Board from the I.C.E Shop, you'll be able to reset the counter and meet even more ghosts! They'll be in stock until the end of the month, and at 150 IceCash (135 for Gold Users), it's certainly worth the price.

You may have noticed your Wulfer howling a lot more frequently after the moon rises. Maybe they aren't sleeping through the night... maybe... they're showing their Phantasmoire spirit!

As you can see above, the Phantasmoire Wulfer has been revamped! Both the Pet and the Potion have beautiful new artwork that you can see on-site today! We hope you love your wild, wonderful werewolf!

If you are having trouble seeing the new artwork, try doing a hard refresh using Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac.



Additionally, our local Terrafrostian chefs have been busy creating two new scrumptious snacks - the Lemon Bar and the Mac N Cheese Meal! The Lemon Bar was funded by @Shibe, and can be purchased from Affogato. It will be rewarded from Snowman Quest starting today, and requested by Candy Quest in one week. The Mac N Cheese Meal was funded by @smallsamoyed, and can be purchased from Glacial Grocer. It will be rewarded from Candy Quest, and requested by Space Quest in one week.

Autumn leaves tumble across the ground, the full moon illuminates the sky, and a spooky chill fills the air. It's official: Phantasmoire season is here!



For those who have not yet experienced Phantasmoire, be prepared for a month of spooky festivities and sugary treats! Pets all around Terrafrost have begun preparation for the upcoming holiday. If you'd like to join in on the fun, be sure to stock up on some Phantasmoire Snow Jars and some treats from your favorite shops!

Starting today, your Phantasmoire Pets can begin haunting. Be sure to give them a Empty Haunting Treat Bag before they begin -- they're available in all NPC shops, except for Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch. Once they're all set, they can visit fellow Users' doorsteps (or profile pages) to stock up on goodies.

And if you'd like to pass out some treats to your fellow Terrafrostians, it's fairly simple. Just purchase some food at your favorite shops, and go to your profile and click the Add food to Doorstep link. It doesn't have to be sweets, either -- the haunters will be just as happy to receive some refreshing fruits and vegetables, too.



Starting this year, you can unlock new trophies by leaving food on your doorstep! There are currently only 15 different levels for this trophy. The food added is cumulative going forward; as a result, you will not have your food returned at the end of the event. Thanks to Phantasmoire magic, the remaining treats will be available again at the start of the Phantasmoire festivities next year!



Don't have enough IcePoints for a Phantasmoire Snow Jar? Don't fret -- as usual, the generous Beauty King will morph one of your pets for free. This offer lasts until the end of October, so be sure to snatch it up while you can.



Also, the Token Booth will be selling some returning Phantasmoire-themed Items until October 8th 23:59:59 IcePets Time. After that, they will swap them out for a new set of Items. The first batch of Items they'll release are the Blob Coin, Empty Grave Stamp, and Candycorn Cupcake! Be sure to snatch them up while you still can.



We'd also like to mention that for the month of October, you can visit the Haunted House every three hours instead of the usual six. Those who are brave enough to venture in may even find some unique Phantasmoire-themed Items...



Last but certainly not least, we'd like to introduce our new editor @piedragon to the IcePets team! Be sure to give him a warm welcome.

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...

@bibliopossum

Thank you for making IcePets a better place!



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

@petshopgirl

Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community!



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...

@Judda

To acknowledge their contributions to the team, we've created the following Item in their honour!


Fancy Code Monkey





As we move into October, new Items can be found in the I.C.E Shop for the duration of the month! Head on over to pick up Hedge Maze Stamp and Audrey III, along with the returning Trapped Soul Ice Cube. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)!



Additionally, a few of our resident shopkeepers have added some new Items to their stock! The Creepy Doll Trading Card can be found at Toy Trunk while the Weekly Terrafrost News can be found at Ralph's Page Turners. The Plushie Quest will reward the Creepy Doll Trading Card immediately, but it will be requested by the Space Quest in one week. Similarly, the Weekly Terrafrost News will be requested by the Book Quest in one week. Be sure to stock up in advance!



It's that time again! The Snowman Quest will have both its daily quest limit and rewards doubled for this weekend. This buff will run from October 1st to October 3rd at 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so get questing while you can!
