Add some color into your life!



This year's Peppermint Festival theme is Color! Patchwork mosaic and stained glass




Here's a bit of what you have to look forward to...

Gifting Stump:

As always, this is the perfect method to lob delicious treats and junk you want to get rid of.. <.< >.> ..at your friends! It can also be used to make new friends, since you can send gifts to any active user on P3.

Hugs!:

Awwwwwww. Once an hour for the duration of the festival, be sure to visit another user's profile and give them a big minty hug. :) It'll put a smile on their face, and also put a festival-themed item in your inventory. Be sure to collect them all!

Shop Items:

This particular festival also has a number of items in the shops, so make sure you visit them all. Never know where things might turn up!

Retiring Items:

Okay, this can be a bit sad, but we have some items retiring this year! All returning festival items get a nice run of 4 years after their festival first release date, so we can make room for new ones. Festival Items originally released in 2022 will be retiring this year. These items are spread throughout the site, so be sure to grab them while you can. :)


Don't forget: if an item has a "25" in the corner, it will be 2025 ONLY and will disappear after 11:59 PM on the 19th. ( or thereabouts) If an item has a corner icon but no date on it, it is a returning festival item and should be back next year! If an item has no corner icon, well, it's just a normal item that will stick around after the festival.

I am hoping to add an "Impress Me" event this weekend. Stay Tuned!

We hope everyone has a great time, and happy Peppermint Festival to ALL!

Hello Terrafrostians!

The IcePets Team wishes to touch base and provide an update on what has been happening behind the scenes, as well as some insight into recent changes and those on the horizon.

As most of you are aware, IcePets is nearing its sixteenth anniversary and has undergone changes in ownership on several occasions. Much of the site's current content was introduced during the original owners' tenure, and the ethical beliefs and practices that were prevalent over a decade ago no longer align with the current team's values -- and, honestly, have not done so for several years.

One of the more significant recent changes has been the revision of the I.C.E Boxes in the I.C.E shop. We felt that the random chance of winning a prize, which could be purchased with external currency, was not in line with our goals. Whilst providing users with a choice is not a perfect solution, we believed it would be beneficial for both ourselves and the community, and would be viewed as a positive change.

Another aspect of the site we plan to implement changes on include the referral store. This store contains a number of items that, in hindsight, should not be available as referral prizes. We're reviewing the store's contents to ensure they align with our values and provide a fair experience for all users, especially considering the alternative way to acquire referral points, which is purchasing 10 Referral Points Cards from the I.C.E shop. The team is working on a way to remove many items while still respecting the cash value tied to them. We will provide further updates on this matter in the near future.

We also intend to remove Golden Slots from the site entirely when we revisit the Plot, which currently features steps tied to this game. Golden Slots does not align with our goal of avoiding any activities that could be perceived as promoting or glorifying gambling. We acknowledge that this is a serious issue that many Terrafrostians or their loved ones may struggle with on a daily basis, and we do not wish to contribute to the problem.

Our primary objective is to be more transparent regarding our plans for the site. Previously, the team has been cautious about sharing information, fearing that we might not be able to follow through on our commitments due to various reasons -- we do not wish to disappoint the community. We have identified our top priorities for the site, which we will focus on after the layout release on the 22nd of this month. We will share more information about these priorities shortly after its release.

In the meantime, we would appreciate any feedback from the community regarding what you feel should be our top priority for change on the site. We are aware that this will be a gradual process to bring the site up to date, and we are grateful for your continued support throughout this period.

Last week's round of What Am I has ended.

The item description was: This pen is overflowing with love!
The answer was: Valentines Pen.

10 out of 10 Ichuans answered correctly.

A new round of What Am I has started. Good luck!

A new stock is now available in the POWEX market. MUCK is based on the amount of Muck generated by Farnees on Farnox. Will your investments be wise?

We¢re thrilled to introduce Effects, a brand-new system of optional, animated cosmetic enhancements that let you add a touch of magic, mystery, or majesty to your dragons.

Players sensitive to motion can also turn off these effects in a new accessibility setting found in Account Settings here.

A New Dimension of Creativity
Dragons all over Sornieth come to life like never before! Whether you¢re dreaming of a dragon surrounded by fluttering butterflies, glowing with an ethereal aura, or shimmering with holographic brilliance, Effects open up a whole new world of customization possibilities.

Effects are designed to complement your dragons¢ existing genes, skins, and apparel, giving you even more tools to bring your creative visions to life. We¢re pleased to say, that as of this posting, they¢re available to all players!

These new item are available in the Gem and Treasure Marketplace under the Specialty categories:

STOP

The rest of this post contains previews of the new Effects options released today.

If moving images, colors, or lights are an accessibility concern for you, please navigate to your Account Settings now and turn off the ability for the animations to run.

You can also set your browser to reduce motion on websites that respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting inside your operating system:

• Windows 10: Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Display > Show Animations in Windows
• MacOS: System Preferences > Accessibility > Display> Reduce Motion
• iOS: Settings > Accessibility > Motion> Reduce Motion
• Android: Settings > Accessibility > Remove Animations

Effects respects this flag, even when you aren't logged into your account.

How Effects Work
Effects are a new type of cosmetic item, similar to apparel, skins, and familiars. You can equip them or remove them from your dragon by way of expanded options on their dedicated Customize pages. Here¢s what you need to know:

• All-Over Effects: Transform your entire dragon sprite (body and apparel) with immersive themes like underwater bubbles, spooky hauntings, or waves of pastel color.
• Dragon-Only Effects: Add beautiful new details only to your dragon¢s body (under their apparel, but above their skins and genes) like shimmering scales, holographic foil, or glitzy sequins that catch the light.
• Apparel-Only Effects: Enhance your dragon¢s outfit with dazzling details (NOTE: the normal restrictions still apply to Ancient breeds and all hatchlings, who cannot currently equip apparel).

Easy to Use
Simply navigate to your dragon¢s Customize page, tap the Effects button, and choose the perfect animation to match your dragon¢s personality. Like apparel, every effect item is a unique instance to itself and to its wearer. (eg. If you would like to display the same effect on two dragons, you will need to acquire two copies of it)





A Wide Variety to Show Off
Because Effects are optional and don¢t affect breeding mechanics, they really can be as diverse as your imagination! We¢re launching with a wide range of fun options today, just to elaborate on a few. Some include:


Bold and Immersive

• Effect: Beryl Plunge: (All-Over Effect) Submerge your dragon in an underwater scene, complete with light refractions and bubbles.
• Effect: Dearly Departed & Effect: Possessed Possessions: (Dragon-Only Effect & Apparel-Only Effect) Turn your dragon (or their armaments!) into a haunting spirit with eerie, ghostly visuals.
• Effect: Pastel Pulse: (Dragon-Only Effect) Surround your dragon with waves of rich, pastel colors that slowly pan across their sprite.

Subtle and Elegant

• Effect: Shimmerscale: (Dragon-Only Effect) Add a delicate shimmer to your dragon¢s scales, reflecting a spectrum of hues.
• Effect: Flecks o' Foil: (Dragon-Only Effect) Create a dazzling holographic effect that glimmers as light moves across your dragon.
• Effect: Glitz: (Dragon-Only Effect): Sprinkle your dragon with tiny, glittering sequins for a touch of glamour.

Augmenting and Playful

• Effect: Flutterby: (All-Over Effect) Let a friendly swarm of butterflies flutter around your dragon.
• Effect: Sunrise, Moonrise: (Dragon-Only Effect) The days just fly by as your dragon experiences sunrise and sunset.

Behind the scenes, Effects are powered by webGL shaders, a growing web-based technology that allows for stunning animations and visual effects. Shaders have been used in game and film development for years, making them a great option for us to explore as a powerful tool for evolving Flight Rising¢s illustrative art. While this marks a fairly new technical milestone for us, we¢ve also worked hard to ensure the system is as accessible as possible.





Technical Notes & Accessibility
As exciting as today¢s release is, and even though we¢ve designed Effects to be as compatible and user-friendly as possible, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Performance Considerations: Effects are built using webGL shaders, which may not be supported on very old devices. That being said, if your device doesn¢t support webGL, don¢t worry¢your dragons will simply render as static images instead.
• Animation Toggle: To accommodate players with visual sensitivities or performance concerns, you can disable animations in your Account Settings. When animations are toggled off, Effects will appear ¢paused¢ by default. While in this mode, you still can manually preview individual Effects without toggling them all on.
• Restrictions: Technical constraints in sprite size and the graphic-heavy nature of our game prevent us from rendering Effects in every area (e.g., Coliseum battles, Auction House listings, Crossroads trades, Search results, Lair/Hibernal Den indexes, and forum avatars). However, we¢re actively exploring ways to optimize and expand support for Effects in the future.
• Page Limit: To avoid overtaxing older devices, only a limited number of effects on a single forum page will render. We have manually limited this to 16, but this may change in the future as we gain a better understanding of the feature¢s performance. Additionally, some browsers may impose an even lower limit.

Gleaming Gifts
From now until February 19, 2025 at 6:00 server, Galore has a Glorious Gift for every dragon clan!
