Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond to our last news post. It was fantastic to see what you all as a player base enjoy and would like to see return. With that being said, we are excited to announce the return of our bi-weekly lore releases! The royal family continues to be in a state of chaos - be sure to check out this week¢s release!

Please give a warm welcome to our four new artists! Stasanie, Fillynox, Azreonn, and Lore Monster Studios will be available for custom orders (breeds and individual genetics) moving forward! I will be adding a new section to the forums for Artist availability, links to portfolios, and all things artist related.


In addition to welcoming new art staff, we are pleased to announce the opening of custom art orders in the Art Depot! All outstanding orders have been moved to order holding. If you would like an existing order resumed, please respond to your thread so one of our artists can requite and get you in the work queue! One of our fantastic artists will respond with a quote as soon as possible

On that note, we have two new exciting auctions to announce!

The Energy Glow horn has 4 variations and was completed by our artist, Fillynox! Check out this auction here.

The Snowbird wings has 4 variations and was completed by Azreonn. Check out this auction here!

Next up, our 2023 refresh! Throughout the months of January through March, our focus is to clean up CE¢s user interface and polish areas that frequently come up as a pain point for players. This includes addressing pagination issues, missing shortcuts, and other interface related functional issues. Our goal is to have an elevated version of CE by the end of March! Please be sure to continue to voice your concerns in the suggestion section of the forum as we look towards Q2 for development goals.

In addition to refreshing our main desktop version, we will also be tackling the task of optimizing CE for mobile! Our first areas to address with be the exploration page, forums, user messages/notification, headers, and the beauty contests. While CE will always be viewed best on a desktop or tablet, it is important to us that our players have mobile access for on the go gaming!

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

The item description was: Melt in your mouth and on your forehead!
The answer was: Snowflake Pancakes.

8 out of 10 Ichuans answered correctly.

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

New genes for veilspun dragons to choose from!

[Image Caption: A banner image with the text "Veilspun Gene Expansion: New Parallel Genes". The image depicts a winter sky with an aurora borealis, and a blue and white veilspun dragon with the slime and toxin genes. The veilspun dragon has insectoid wings, a long body, and a long silky mane.]


Veilspun Parallel Genes
Additional genes are now available on for Veilspun dragons! Each of these genes has a chance to appear where their modern counterpart is available. This means that if the modern version of the gene was available in the treasure marketplace, the veilspun version will be too. If it was available through baldwin, that is where the veilspun parallel can be brewed!

Seasonal Scenes

Joining our selection of items that changes with the four seasons (summer, autumn, winter, spring) a new seasonal scene for Winter has now been added! This scene is available for purchase in the the Marketplace from December 22 until March 22, when the spring selection rolls in.

Last time we had questions about the Wajas library, so this time I thought it might be fun to have questions about libraries in general. Any library workers/fans reading this? I'm a qualified librarian, but these days I work in learning technology. I never want to not work in education :) PS: Please check out the previous news post - it's fun!

Hello all of Wajaws...we hope you didn't think we were fin-ished swimming around as sharks. Not in the least! We chews to give all of our fin-tastic users a small gift. Introducing the Wajaws Plushies, coming to a shop near you! PS. As an activity gift, you received a Bouquet which can be opened to receive all seven of the Wajaws Plushies, or you can keep it and wear it with pride and buy them from the shop. It is up to you. A huge thank you to Sparra for our new Shark friends, and to Zeph for the Wajaws name.

It's time to head over to Miles Magic Box and see if you can figure out which item is depicted by the artistic rendering. If you do before next week, you'll win a cool prize!

The bait has been hooked, fishing line cast and we have caught TessTheMess for this weeks aquarium contest winner!

....Congrats!

¢¢Remember, make sure you feed and care for your fish/tank and collect your nessies bonus daily, if you want a chance to win next week!

Time to sharpen your crayons and charge up your tablets -- the annual Colouring Contest has begun! Whether you're a traditional or digital artist, we'd like you to bring this picture to life with your preferred art medium.



Feel free to be as creative with this colouring page as your heart desires. However, we do have a few rules that all participants should keep in mind:

1. All work submitted must be your own. You cannot ask another User, a friend, or a family member to colour the image for you.
2. The contest is held anonymously. Showing your artwork to other Users during the contest will disqualify you.
3. Your image must be uploaded and sent to mochihugs by January 19th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. It does not matter where or how you upload it, and your submission will count as long as it is sent within the time frame.
4. The contest is limited to one entry per user.
5. All entries must be considered appropriate under the Terms and Conditions of IcePets.



Once the deadline has passed, the voting phase will begin! Voting is entirely anonymous, and every Terrafrostian only gets one vote, so be sure to choose wisely.

Everyone who participates in the Colouring Contest will receive a set of the 2023 Pinatas! In addition, the top three winners will receive the following prizes:



First Place
- 400,000 IcePoints

If you were getting sick of the old Pinata Mania consolation prizes, you're in luck. Starting today, this game will be switching over to some brand new prizes, so keep on smashing those pinatas!



The 2023 Pinatas have each received a new Item to their potential prize pool, as well as the addition of the openable Guitar Case. Due to this update, in the future we will be releasing the Pinatas at a more frequent rate in shops, and lowering the pinata mania cool down earlier than originally planned. This will hopefully enable users to stock up on pinatas and still get the new items they want! Keep an eye on the news for when these changes will happen, as well as a future giveaway link for a set of 2023 pinatas!



IcePets is currently hiring! We are looking for a new Item Artist and Writer to join our team. If you're interested in creating artwork for the site, please check our Support Site to apply!
