There was a bug with downgrading which affected those of you upgraded. This was manually fixed and took most of the day. Everyone who had issues should now have their normal acreage, feed, and water storage. If you still have issues please make a bug report.

Cheers,

The Dev Team

Once only a blur in the periphery, now brought into focus!

We¢re excited to announce that the next addition to our ancient breeds system, the Veilspun, have now been launched. Ancient Breeds are a way for the Flight Rising team to release more regular dragon content, with a few restrictions to make that possible. You can read about the ancient breed system in our Developer Update on the subject.


Veilspun
Relegated to fable and hearsay, the diminutive Veilspun have gleefully enjoyed the air of mystery surrounding their existence. The eons spent tricking and hypnotizing their younger cousins have come to an end¢mostly. Recent events in the Forum of the Obscured Crescent have seen Shadowbinder bringing her lost children to the forefront.

Veilspun have emerged from hiding to join their swarms to the clans of Sornieth!


You can read more about the return of the Veilspun in our short story, Unveiled, and gain some knowledge of their characteristics in the Encyclopedia.

Willowmane Deerlings
To celebrate the debut of the Veilspun breed, all active players can, at this moment, visit Galore¢s Glorious Gifts and receive the limited Willowmane Deerling familiar along with a food care package. Additional copies of this familiar can be crafted at Baldwin's Bubbling Brew until November 19th at 09:00 server time, after which they will be retired. Fiona quickly took to the deerlings, and even managed to discover a new variant -as she does.

You will have until Thursday, November 19th at 09:00 server time to claim your gifts.



If you¢re looking to change your dragons into Veilspun, breed change scrolls will be stocking in the Gem Marketplace.

Veilspun Genes: Unique & Parallel
It wouldn't be an Ancient Breed release without an impressive slate of unique and parallel genes!

You can create the following unique Veilspun genes using Baldwin¢s Bubbling Brew:

Known Issues

• A technical bug resulted in the male Veilspun's teeth being black. We have identified the cause of the issue and will be making fixes throughout the launch day. It's possible that once fixes go live, it will be necessary to forcefully clear your browser's cache.
• We are currently investigating a few reported art errors with the following Veilspun genes: Constellation, Starmap (f veilspun has swirls at incorrect opacity. Fix coming in soon. Male and hatchling correct), Corrected! Web, and Shell (These were fine).

Rockbreaker's Ceremony Skin & Accent Contest

The eighth annual Rockbreaker's Ceremony will begin on November 22nd, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration! Click here for more information!

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Rooooaaaar. "Grandpa, tell me about how we came to this world again?" The voice was soft, squeaky, clearly that of a young child. A deep chuckle escaped. "I tell you this story every night. Surely by this point, you could tell me the story!" "But it's my favorite, grandpa! Our kind almost ceased to exist! Then suddenly, a portal opened, and someone wonderful led us to safety! Now here we are, prospering!" With each word, the squeaky voice rose in pitch and quickened in speed, clearly excited. "How do we know it wont happen here too?" The voice held no fear, just genuine curiosity. The deeper voice took over. "That was long before your time, or even my time. We are safe here." They had to be, who knew if there was another who could save them if suddenly a asteroid threatened their world again. "But grandpaaaaaa~" The voice whined, clearly not content with the discussion

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

The item description was: Aww, look at how happy he is to see you. :)

Promo Must Read Okay, so in light of how some things are working on the voting / review sites, if you have posted a review on any of the promo sites, please PM me with a screen shot of the review. I don't want to miss any of the reviews, and one of the sites requires acceptance of the reviews before it can be displayed to the public, another only shows one random review at a time, ect. So I want to ensure that I do not miss anyone who has reviewed. To snag a screenshot, do the following: Step 1: Go to the site that you posted your review on. This step will be the same for all areas. Step 2: Find your review. This will differ by site. To find it on OnlineGaming Directory: Click the area marked "REVIEW" and it will take you to their review area. OGD only shows one review at a time, so it may take a few tries to get it to show up. I just hit F5 until I got to mine. Took 5 tries. To find it on Directory of Games: Click to go dir

Due to much begging and pleading Danse has been extended until the 15th of November. Go grab what you still need!

Get ready to throw some confetti, because the Toon Lugra has joined Terrafrost! This nostalgic new pet was funded by @IcePrincess. It may be black and white, but its personality is bursting with color. With the Toon Lugra by your side, Saturday morning cartoons will be week-long! Just watch out for falling pianos.



If this new Pet strikes your fancy, stroll over to the Snow Jar Igloo periodically and check to see if the Toon Lugra Morphing Potion is in stock. Or if you can't wait, you can find it at the ICE Shop until the end of November -- it's only 500 IC (450 for Gold Users)!



We are also very happy to welcome @smallsamoyed to the IcePets team as our newest Editor! As always, you can stay up to date on Staff changes and openings via the the Staff list linked at the bottom of every page.

It's that jolly time of the year again! And we sure need that time in this weird year. Secret Santa is back for all of Powerpets!


Secret Santa is a gift-exchanging event between those who sign up. The user you gift (who will be decided for you) is NOT the person who will gift you. It's "secret" santa for a reason!


Sign-ups are open from now until December 8th, 11:59 PM PP time. To sign up, please post in the comments of this update.

Beginning the 9th, the name of the player you are to gift will be P-Mailed to you. This will give you about 2 weeks to decide on a gift.


The suggested gifting range is $50,000-$500,000. This can be one item worth $50k or multiple items that add up to $50k or $500k. Just keep in mind that while you sent a $500k gift, the gift you get in return might only be $50k - it's the thought that counts!


If you have any questions or concerns, send steenbokker a P-Mail. In addition, if you get a name change, P-Mail steenbokker.


Please Note: Secret Santa is only open to those with access to P-Mail, due to the nature of the event. Please make sure steenbokker can contact you.

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 Darklightning 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!
