We've been opening up submissions for the annual Festival of Eggs and the Halloween Trick-or-Treat events to community submissions for some time now. Both events have been receiving a lot interest, so we're continuing the process this year.

All submissions must be sent via PM to @Event Art Submissions. The deadline for submissions is October 20.

Here's some base guidelines:

• Treats should be generally Halloween-themed, not just random objects.
• Size limit of 50x50px.
• Images must be submitted in PNG or GIF form.
• Treats must be pixel art, which generally means that overall color count is limited and pixels are intentionally placed. Do not use filters or anti-aliased tools such as Photoshop's paint brush.
• Treats may be animated, but should not use rapid or flashing effects.
  • Animated PNGs are allowed, but your mileage may vary.
  • The first frame of animation should be identifiable, to accommodate situations where animations are disabled.
• Semi-transparency is allowed.
• Images must not be shared publicly before the event begins.
• Images should not have blank space around the outer edges.
• Treats should not use the egg base (save those for the Festival of Eggs).
• Treats may be rejected for reasons other than those in this post¢namely, there will be a general quality bar. We'll try to provide useful feedback around rejections.
• Only one submission will be accepted per-person, unless otherwise announced.

There are a limited number of spots available. Art will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis which only applies when the art is deemed to meet all of the above guidelines (that is, if you need to make changes and resubmit, that bumps you to the back of the line).

By submitting art to the Trick or Treat event, you grant Dragon Cave a non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license to host, use, distribute, modify, copy, display, and create derivative works of your content. You can end this license any time by contacting us, though the art may not be immediately deleted. The license also ends immediately upon notice from us that the art will not be used in the event.

Lights on, Lights off Forum Hey guys! As promised, I said I would alert when the Lights on, Lights off subforum was rolled out and available to you all. It is now available! It can be found HERE or by looking under the "User held games" forum area. If you already made one anywhere else and it needs to be moved here, please post the link in this newspost and Sadi or another mod will hop to it ASAP. We will also move any that we notice as we browse through the forums. REMINDERS: - We will not be holding the Forum ToT the whole month. We are finalizing days still, but will give an official date notice when we've settled (hoping to settle this next week once I no longer have family down). - You're free to make a post in this now and still do Lights on, Lights off the old fashioned way. - Remember, only one thread per user in that forum area - this is to keep it from getting cluttered. - Keep in mind everyone goes at their own pace, so it may take some p

Maintenance will happen Monday, October 4th!

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.

Hello, everyone!

Horse Fable¢s development is rolling along smoothly. So much so, we¢ve done a bit more spending on art and assets thanks to those who bought forever upgrades! Today, we are opening up an ingot sale to help cover some very exciting developments in HoFa¢s release.

To give a quick summary as to what we are looking cover, we have roughly 700 new horse image layers ° , several explore images °¾, and backgrounds ° all in the works. Also! Western tack is almost done! Yeehaw! °¤ 

¢¯¸ Ingot Sale

Ingots are now on sale for up to 35% off! Included in the ingot sale, we have brought back packages which include spectral and magic token sacks. The ingot sale will run from today until October 15th, 11:59 PM EST/ gametime. 

¢¨ Available Bundles

To celebrate Eqcetera¢s final weeks, we have brought back all previous bundles which are up for sale in the ingot store. These bundles include limited-edition reindeer calf, breeders promise, valentine tack sets, and more! 

In the General Store both magic and spectral tokens are also on sale for those who wish to purchase them not in a large bundle.

¢¯¸ HoFa Updates

As a reminder, Horse Fable updates will not be posted to Eqcetera. Instead, they can be accessed through 2 channels: HoFa socials or by signing up for updates on horsefable.com , we suggest both following socials and signing up for emails. Our goal between now and when we launch HoFa is to really concentrate on building the social media channels and increase awareness about HoFa in general. 

We¢re planning email updates biweekly or weekly until launch with sneak peeks into some sparkly new features.

"It is good to return to the realms of Lyth once again this year. I welcome Lythians one and all to the Haunted Faire, to partake in our activities, until we lose our connection to your mortal realms once more."

Haunted Faire

The Haunted Faire has become once again accessible to Lythians from the mortal realms and a variety of activities are available again this year! The Faire runs from October 1 until November 7th at 23:59:59 site time, unless another date and time are mentioned for a specific activity.

To see everything available at the Haunted Faire, be sure to visit the event hub!

The Lost Realm is once again available for visitation and you may continue or begin your Realm Familiarity quests there. To get started, a free Lost Key is available here.

Ink has returned with a new set of art prompts! Win pets and an MYO ticket for completing varying amounts of the prompts.

Go bobbing for apples once each day. You probably will not come back with an apple.

Some Haunted Faire traditions have spread throughout other realms as well! Go trick-or-treating at your friends' doors and receive treats (or tricks) each day! The rewards are different for each option, so you will need to decide which you would prefer!

To trick-or-treat, simply visit another member's profile and interact with the UI at the top of the page. Trick-or-treating will only be available on the profiles of individuals who have recently logged in.

The Faire's visual art costume contest is back this year! Entries for this part of the event are only open until October 22, 2021 at 23:59:59 (to allow time for voting) so be sure to get your entries in!

The Ringleader's stall is available for spending your Faire Tickets for a variety of prizes from past Faire events, including the limited time Moonsbane Potion! This portion of the event is open until the end of the year, December 31st at 23:59:59.

Got candy from trick-or-treating? There are a selection of thematic pets invading the Pet Shelter who would love to take it off your hands. If you're lucky, the pet you feed might decide to come home with you! Feed these pets in the shelter with your Haunted Faire foods while you can -- they will disappear on November 1st!

Having a good time at the Haunted Faire? Tell your friends and get entered into a raffle to win an exclusive custom character, sets of pets, and this year's new frame!

Starting on October 18th until October 31st, Eidolons will be released throughout the site for discovery... Will you find them all?

New (sub)Species

The Haunted Faire's influence has spread widely through the realms, and some Axomaurs are feeling... strange.

The Monster subspecies is now available for Axomaurs!
This is a temporary condition that overrides an Axomaur's normal subspecies. This means that an Axomaur can be both Terrestrial and a Monster by transforming between the two. A result of this transformation is that the Axomaur's size and strength increases by quite a bit! In this state, Axomaurs will chase anything that moves ¢ often resulting in them getting lost chasing birds or bugs ¢ and are prone to losing control.

Use a Moonsbane Potion from the Ringleader's stall to change your Axomaur into this subspecies.
(Monster Axomaurs concepted and designed by CakeBird!)

Not only are Axomaurs behaving strangely, but a new species has started appearing... dubbed the Djiminni, this new species is now available as a companion!

Djiminnis are spirits who are often associated with dark magic, as they are believed to be side effects from conjuring its spells. However, they are neither innately evil nor innately good; they come into being and then simply exist within the realms. They are made of a gaseous material that allows them to float silently about and even phase through solid objects. And, in reality, these creatures are quite shy! Most of the time, Djiminnis are covered by a solid exterior of their own making that consists of three parts: a mask, an outer shell, and other decorative pieces.

Read more about them here!

Collect materials to make their lure and build up your familiarity with the Lost Realm to capture these unique companions!
(Original concept for the Djiminni created by Traumlaterne and adapted by Raishiteru!)

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

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

@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!
