Today, we're releasing two new items funded by our Staff! The Ice Ducky Stamp, funded by @Silvy, will add a hint of chilly flair to your Stamp Collection. You can find it at the United Terrafrost Post Office, or receive it as a reward from the Plushie Quest. In a week, it'll be requested by the Space Quest as well.

And if your Pets have been hoping for a sweet and filling breakfast, consider picking up a Vafler, funded by @smallsamoyed! Buy it at Affogato, or receive it as a reward from the Snowman Quest. In about a week, the Candy Quest will be asking for it.



Have you submitted your entries to the IcePets Joke Contest? If you haven't already, there's still time to think of a memorable knee-slapper! Make sure your joke is submitted to IcePrincess by May 1st, 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 April 30th at 23:59:59 to submit your vote. Winners will be announced on May 1st!

Novitaria has officially come to an end. While you won't be able to pick up any more Noviteggs, you can pick up these fun new Items (among many others) at the Novitaria Store! We hope you got plenty of Novitaria Credits, because you won't be able to find the Dovu Egg Necklace, Whack a Novitegg, Baby's First Novitaria, Novitegg Hunt Plush, and the Fabergegg Ice Cube anywhere else.



By the way, if you stocked up on a super-impressive number of Noviteggs this year, you may get a trophy as a reward for your hard efforts within the next couple days!

While you won't get any more Noviteggs from Quests, there's a great Questiing opportunity going on this weekend! Until April 24th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the prizes and questing opportunities for the Candy Quest are doubled!

After a week of egg hunting and celebration, Novitaria is finally reaching its conclusion! To send off the holiday, the rarity of Noviteggs in NPC Shops will be decreased. That means you'll have more chances than ever to snatch them up!



In addition, all Novitaria events -- including the Novitegg hunt, Noviteggs restocking in shops, and Quests rewarding Noviteggs -- will be ending at 23:59:59 IcePets Time. Make sure to turn in any Noviteggs you need to for store credit!

The beloved Baby Wulfer is now cuter than ever! This adorable Pet and its respective Morphing Potion have both received a fresh new look. So if you'd like this youthful Pet by your side this Novitaria season, be sure to pick up a Baby Wulfer Morphing Potion at the Snow Jar Igloo. Alternatively, you can find it at the ICE Shop for just 500 IC (450 for Gold Users.)




A bundle of our most memorable Novitaria Items have received a new look! The Novitegg Stamp, Woven Basket Stamp, Novitaria 2015 Stamp, Chocolate Jakrit, Glowing Noviteggs, and the Novitaria Basket Ice Cube are the same Items you've come to love, just with a different look.

If you're having trouble viewing the new changes, try doing a hard refresh using Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac.

So, are ready to spread some laughter? You've got nothing to lose, so give it your best shot!

The season of Novitara is a celebration of beauty, life, and rebirth. And what represents those values better than the Angelic Pets? To show a little gratitude for this wonderful part of Terrafrost's community, we've given five Angelic Pets a fresh new makeover!





The Angelic Jakrit, Wulfer, Trido, Ridix, and Zabeu are looking more angelic than ever. We hope these designs are just as elegant as the last, if not more so!



Just like their Pet counterparts, the Angelic Jakrit Morphing Potion and the Angelic Ridix Morphing Potion have received a new look as well.

Are you a fan of these Angelic revamps? If you'd like one of your own, you'll want to pick up one of their respective Morphing Potions. As always, you can find them at the Snow Jar Igloo, with the exception of the Zabeu. In addition, they'll be for sale in the ICE Shop for just 500 IC (450 for Gold Users) until the end of the month.

If you're having trouble viewing the new changes, try doing a hard refresh using Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac.



Looking for some more Novitaria-themed goodies? The Five Random Noviteggs and Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion are now available at the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month. The Noviteggs are 250 IC (225 for Gold Users) and the Morphing Potion is 500 IC (450 for Gold Users.) You can also find the Randomly Picked Jakrit Morphing Potion at the Snow Jar Igloo and in the Novitaria Store for 300 Novitaria Credits.



It seems the Jakrits may have overstocked this year, and as a result, they have some extra Noviteggs to sell. So as you make your rounds through the NPC shops, you may notice Noviteggs stocking a bit more often than before.



The Springtime Surprise Basket is back! This seasonal Item can reward you one of many different spring-themed Items, including two brand new Items. You can find this basket at any NPC Shop (except for the Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch.)



Finally, the three March ICE Items will be leaving the I.C.E Shop at the end of today. In addition, the Gold Account rewarded after the site's downtime will be expiring today as well. Be sure snatch up those Items and enjoy your Gold Account benefits while you still can!

Next time you decide to do a Novitaria Quest, you may notice the NPC behind the counter looks a little different. That's because Fern, a Baby Makoat with a passion for Novitaria goodies, has decided to take over! The old NPC, Daisy, felt it was time to pass the role on to her young and ambitious mentee.



Fern isn't the only one starting fresh this season -- Odele, the owner of the Novitaria Store, has also returned with a new look! It seems of the blooming flowers this spring season have inspired them to get a little makeover.



Looking to stock up on more Noviteggs? Starting today, not only can you find them in random places around the site, but you can also purchase them at all NPC Shops (except for the Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch.) You can also earn them as a reward for all quests! The holiday will be ending soon, so be sure to snatch up those eggs while you still can!

Flowers have begun to bloom, the laughter of Baby Pets fills the air, and Makoats and Jakrits have begun collaborating. That can only mean one thing -- Novitaria has begun!

Novitaria is a holiday celebrating birth, joy, and positivity in Terrafrost. It's also a time when the yearly Jakrit Egg Hunt is held! So as you make your way through Terrafrost this morning, be sure to keep an eye out for any colourful eggs.



Like every year, the Jakrits and Makoats have introduced three brand new Noviteggs. The Black Trido Novitegg, Orange Krittle Novitegg, and Turquoise Ori Novitegg are all possible Noviteggs you can stash away this year. They'll also be freezable, if you're looking to expand your Ice Cube Collection.



New to Novitaria? There are two different ways you can find eggs during this event.

First, you can find the Jakrit eggs, which are hidden on various parts of the side. Simply click on them to add them to your inventory. The Jakrit eggs are random and unique to every user, so once you click them, nobody else will be able to snatch them up.

There are also the Makoat eggs, which are hidden in Novitegg Stockpiles. When you click on them you'll be gifted with a random Novitegg. Unlike the Jakrit eggs, these are in the same spot for every User on the site. The stockpiles get moved every ten minutes, so once you spot one, be sure to tell your friends right away!

At the end of Novitaria, rewards will be given to Users who collected an impressive number of eggs from the Jakrits and Makoats. The event ends on April 21st, 23:59:59 IST so get hunting while you still can!



As more compensation for recent down time, instead of having only one quest buffed this weekend all quests and their prizes have been doubled. The quests will reverse back to normal on April 10th 23:59:59 IST. Enjoy the extra prizes this weekend!

Prankster Day has finally arrived, and we couldn't think of a more fitting way to celebrate this holiday than to introduce the new Toon Traptur! We promise we're not pulling your leg--this goofy and lovable Pet is here to stay. With the Toon Traptur by your side, you'll never have a dull day again.



Do you want the Toon Traptur for yourself? You'll need to buy the Toon Traptur Morphing Potion at the Snow Jar Igloo. Alternatively, you can pick one up a the ICE Shop for just 500 IC (450 for Gold Users.)



Have your Pets tried a Prankster Pie lately? Alyson has prepared an extra large batch for Prankster Day, so stop by Sugar Rush to get one for yourself! This increased stock will be around until April 14th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so make sure you head over to Snowslide Mountain before then!



Starting today, the Suspicious Present is stocking in all Shops (except for the Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch) and being rewarded by all Quests! This fun openable comes with one of several exclusive Prankster-themed Items, so you won't want to miss out on this. You'll want to hit the stores now, because it'll only be around until April 14th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.

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

@Nexinhah

Thank you for making IcePets a better place!



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

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.








As we move into April, new Items can be found in the I.C.E Shop for the duration of the month! Head on over to pick up the new Meteora Puzzle and Meteora Ice Cube, along with the returning Terrafrost Plush. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)! Due to these being released late this month, they will be available until May 7th, 23:59:59 IST.



If you're low on IceCash, there are also two brand new items at the NPC Shops to keep an eye out for! The Crashed Rocket Stamp can be found at the United Terrafrost Post Office, and you certainly don't want that missing from your Stamp Collection. In addition, Toy enthusiasts can purchase the Launching Rocket Figurine at the Toy Trunk! The Plushie Quest will begin rewarding the Launching Rocket Figurine immediately, and the Space Quest will be requesting it in one week along with the Crashed Rocket Stamp.

We appreciate all the support while IcePets was down. For those unaware, our host was doing a server migration when data corruption occured. With their dedicated work we were finally able to get everything fixed and back online this afternoon with minor losses. The site has been rolled back to our latest backup prior to the issue which is March 29th, noon, IcePets time. This means any purchases or site activity completed after this time will need to be done again if you wish.



To compensate Users we are awarding one month of free Gold Account time which will activate upon clicking this link. We are also extending the Items which were due to leave the I.C.E Shop at the end of March. They will be available for an additional two weeks, leaving on April 18th at 23:59:59 IcePets Time. The link to claim the Gold Account will also expire at this time.



When it comes to the daily bonus, any Users who completed the login any days between the 25th to 29th will have their streak preserved. They will not be asked to complete a login streak today and numbers were not pushed forward. This is to avoid disrupting streaks for Users who may not be able to login today due to their usual availability having been during the downtime.



Due to the downtime we missed out on being able to prank our community on April 1st, but we will be sure to get you all next year! We also did not have the automated news to distribute trophies or announce the raffle winner. Our usual first of the month News will be posted tomorrow, along with all the releases it would bring. You will still receive April's Staff of The Month Item today however, if you visit the Staff Page! Consider it a freebie sneak peek.

If you have any questions or concerns which pertain to your personal account please create a Support Ticket so staff will be able to help.



If you do not follow our Facebook Page or aren't a member of our Discord we highly recommend checking one or both out. These are our primary methods for alerting everyone to problems when the website is down. We'd also like to note that there is still a chance there may be random downtime after today as the host continues to stabilize things.



The unplanned maintenance did not keep our spirit down, however - we've decided to release the addition of an updated Shop Search feature! You can now set a minimum and maximum price for your searches, as well as choose a random Item from a category or from any available Item for sale on site! We hope this updated feature will enhance your experience here at IcePets. Sally has been excited at the idea of sharing this change with you all.
