Mistic Pets

2008 has had its ups and downs. But together, we have weathered everything that has been thrown at us. We enter this new year, content that we will continue to build this wonderful site and community together.



Please head to the giveaway to round out this great and wonderful holiday season with another fun giveaway. Everyone will get one of the Ornamynts, and the 2009 commemorative glass will be stocking for the next week, but will not be stocking again.**

** Due to the very limited nature, this item will be a collectible only and will not count on any High Score list. It will however, be stocking in multiples amounts so get yours while you can!

"Come on down to my shop for some newly rotated stock! We've got albino...noir... riverside.. This list goes on for quite a bit! There may be some in here that haven't been seen before! And there seems to have been a misplaced Yuletide present in my shops for all of Mistica!"

From a forum posted previously:

Consider the matter closed. If references are made on ANY boards, warnings will be issued to all parties concerned. There will be a warning in the news post to make sure everyone is aware that the matter of Celtic20/Rose21/Pigeons is over.

presents to find!!

King Blithe sent out the following note to all of Mistica!



Can you unravel the riddle and find your chilling present?

First up, some announcements.

~Over 70 accounts have been found out to be multiples created to 'cheat' during the holiday giveaway. They have been banned, and the investigations continue.

~WinterGala and WinterGreen Pandoria Boxes are now available in the credit shop. And it has been decided that all boxes (and the Pet Slot Coin) will remain at $10!

~Tomorrow, there may be no news posted. Taking a break for a day, because we are all BEAT!

And now, we'd like to introduce the WinterGala Mericai!

We apologize for the short bout of down time we experienced this evening.

It was something on the server side of things, a variety of Impulse sites were affected, not just us.

We cannot predict these things, but I hope that it will not be happening again. If we do go down again, rest assured that Impulse will be working to get things back up and on track ASAP.

Thank you for your patience!

I think most of us could use one of those right about now, I know the admin team could!

King Blithe is overjoyed that we defeated Queen Boreal's evil plan to harbor the power of the Yuletide Spirit for her selfish schemes. He also is beyond thrilled at our usercount last night! We held well over 100 for close to 5 hours! At times, I believe we reached a bit above 140 members online. Simply amazing Mistica! Give yourselves a round of applause!


The Holiday Box giveaway is drawing to a close, so make sure that you have gotten yours before the giveaway is changed.

And finally, another couple of pets have joined in the festivities! Please welcome the WinterGreen Braenon and the WinterGala Eledon!

The shriek of annoyance fills the land of Mistica as Queen Boreal stamps her foot and disappears in a blinding flurry of ice and snow.

"You may have freed the spirit, but you have NOT seen the last of me Mistica!" Her voice echoes in the hearts and souls all over the land.



"Thank you Mistica for freeing my beloved Yuletide Spirit. She belongs flying free, giving cheer to the entire land. Please head over to the giveaway, where the staff and I have concocted a wonderful surprise for everyone. These will be available for a full 24 hours, so don't delay!"

Taking her leave, for she had a VERY long night... MeriKlaus motions you on in your adventures in the land of Mistica.

Thank you Mistica,

I have enjoyed watching you all pull together to help the Yuletide Spirit break free from the clutches of cruel Queen Boreal. Our community is the very best there is, and each of you play your part every single day in growing this wonderful, amazing world. A sincere thank you to each and every one of you, you have all touched my heart this past year and we could never have made it this far without you. I know I would be lost without you.
Merry Mistmas Mistica!

Queen Boreal's laughter fills the room.



"You won't reach your goal, and I will keep the Yuletide Spirit nice and safe and....contained," a smirk crosses her lips.

clear and bright. The air is filled with excitement as so many new and exciting pets are seen wandering the lands of Mistica. But the question remains... how can these themes be obtained?

The power needed to infuse the Pandoria Boxes with the magic needed to change our pets is tied in with the Yuletide Spirit. We have all worked together to meet half of the requirements to set her free, can we fulfill the other half??

100 users online is quite a feat.. but I have faith that Mistica can accomplish this.

Some new faces were seen sporting their new finery...







Let's activate those boxes so we can all enjoy some fantastic Yuletide Spirit!

Don't forget to check out the amazing SALE in the credit shop!

---

And... to sweeten the deal. When we reach our goal and release the Yuletide Spirit.. ALL LE pets will be available in batches throughout the rest of the day. Stignightus, Obsidians, Gurahdia, Jinxes... *winks*

Some very beautiful, but strange and fantastic creatures have been sighted all over Mistica!







Mistmas morning comes so very soon... what does tomorrow hold for us? Can the Yuletide Spirit be set free?

The bellow of the King fairly shook the walls. Blithe emerges from his study, almost frantic as he calls for the Royal scribe.



The scribe is a nervous sort, but he takes the notation from the King and rushes it off to be posted.**



Seems simple enough right Mistica? I know there is nothing that we can't do if our minds are put to the task!

The board is located in Mistic Chat. Please take heed of the first post and the rules for the board. It will be unlocked after 200 posts.

**Please excuse the hastiness of the scribe!

Seems that our Sylk has uncovered the land of Blizzard's Realm! Follow him to see for yourself the barren, frozen land!


http://www.misticpets.com/blizzardsrealm.php

There was a slight hiccup, which means that there is no shop 39, hence... follow the link to get to Cuddly Stuffies for now please!


There will be loads of stock arriving througout the day, so keep your eyes open!

~Admin Team

When the holidays are over, the flash map will be edited with the link to the new world. However at this point in time, please use the link provided above by our frienedly Sylk!

---

For now, it seems the issue is isolated to IE. Please use FF or Safari for the time being if you are able.

We apologize for this inconvenience. As SOON as we are able, we will get it worked out.

With that loud exclamation, King Blithe emerges to pace the halls, raving a bit like a madman, "I've almost got it, I know that I am so VERY close to figuring out how to foil Boreal once and for all..." He hands a proclamation to his steward and grabs a plate of food before returning to his chamber and slamming the door quite loudly!



Will he emerge again this evening? Will his plan work? Mistmas Eve day dawns tomorrow, bright and early... time is running out!




~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

Today's gift is sure to spread some Mistmas Cheer! A little bird gave word from the little Sylk that in order to find this next gift... you must journey the lands of Mistica. Take no heed of warnings you may find on your way. Despair not, though the outlook may be grim!



~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

There has been some talk of delayed shipments in regards to some last minute Mistmas stock. As soon as confirmation is in, another news note will be published!

There are a few too many clouds in the sky to consider this any kind of "Sun" day!

This next clue has me baffled.. that Sylk is too clever for his own good!



And I have a feeling there may be another step once you decipher the meaning of the above clue. Hope no one was getting lulled into complacency!

King Blithe is still holed up in his study! We've had some food delivered. I hope he takes a break to keep up his strength!



~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

Where has the time gone Mistica? Blithe has shuttered himself in his study, and hasn't even called for food since yesterday! I'm sure he'll come up with a plan soon.

Time is running short, and the poor Yuletide Spirit is still hidden away by Boreal.



"Ahem... that is Queen Boreal, " the regal woman declares as she appears seemingly out of nowhere. "And yes, Mistmas is only a few days away. I wouldn't count on dear old King Blithe... I'm sure something shiney will distract him before he comes up with any reasonable plan. The Yuletide Spirit is safe and sound... and it will sing only for me on Mistmas Eve." Cackling evilly, she takes her leave in a flurry of ice flakes.


Oh dear Mistica... what shall we do? With time running out, we musn't doubt. Seek your present today where new and old friends may gather, or where you may go to say goodbye.

~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

"Hellooo Mistica!" King Blithe's booming voice calls all to attention. "Mistmas is approaching rather fast, and that nasty Queen Boreal has gone deeper into hiding! I'm going to take my leave to put the final touches on a courageous plan to find her and set the Yuletide Spirit free!"



"But in the meantime, seek your next advent present near a large gathering of colors. I'm sure it's close at hand with all the chatterboxes on this world! Though it does get a little...chaotic at times."

It seems Zenk0 encountered some difficulties this week. We hope to see him soon and the donations and adoption glitches will be handled as soon as we are able. Thank you ALL for your patience. Together, we'll weather the storm. :)
Also Note: The Mysterious Mistic Event may not appear on this item, but please check your inventory. Thank you!

Time is flying by us, I really hope we find where Queen Boreal has stashed the Yuletide spirit before Mistmas morning...

It isn't keeping our shopkeepers from stocking the holiday goodies from last year. Be on the lookout!


And what is this? Another scroll from one of those wayward Sylks!



~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

"Greetings Mistica! It is I, King Blithe to grace you all with my presents... Ho Ho ho! I Mean presence. " The King winks and calls for a snack before continuing.

"Mistmas is a time to remember your friends, both old and new. Reach out and contact a friend, this is your clue!"

Distracted by the platter brought before him, the King dismisses you with a nod. Better hurry to find your gift!


~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

Is getting close! There are some items expected in the main shops tomorrow, so keep your eye out for an update.

We received another scroll from our little pal, the Sylk.



How sweet of him to reassure us! It goes to show how special friendship is.


And for those of you looking to expand your Mistic families, we'd like to introduce the Winter Cursed Stignightus** and the Frost Phelocan!




And a short note from Zenko!

I've been working on a script most of the day, and will be able to upload it and award the prizes by tomorrow morning. Thanks for all your patience Mistica!

~Admin Team

** Stig releases will happen throughout the night and tomorrow. Keep checking back!

I can do without." Queen Boreal surveys the festivities of Mistica.

"Yuletide draws near, and even the loss of the spirit seems to have put no damper on your joy. Though you all seem so eager in your quest. I doubt you will find it in time!" Boreal's throaty laughter fills her icy chambers.

"Fighting always brings a smile to my lips. Search out a gift from me this eve. My Shady Sylk hid it for me amongst the brave fighters of the battledome. Search it out, if you dare...."

A challenge has been issued Mistica. Will you search out her gift this day? I do hope our dear little pal the Sylk is okay in his adventure...

Zenk0 will hopefully update us sometime tonight. We all thank you for your patience and understanding. Thank you all for your generosity and donations to the pound pets. It will really make this season special!

It seems like the pound donation is giving out prizes to some people(not everyone).

I have tried several approaches but none of them work, I'm off to bed so I can rethink what's hapening to cause this bug.

In the meanwhile you can still donate! You may not get your prizes right now, but I'll make sure you will once everything is working!

I'm sorry for this, but keep having fun!

We are encountering a glitch,and Zenk0 is hard at work to fix this so that prizes are awarded correctly.

Please hold off on donating.

~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

This season is oftentimes used as a time to reflect. This is a great time of the year to remember those less fortunate than yourselves.

Please join me in welcoming a new feature for the pound, the Donation area! Charitee, a wonderful Gurahdi is pleased to welcome you and help distribute your donations to the pets that are left in the pound.

We have a proclamation from the King as well!



Search on for your prizes, and remember, it's almost always better to give than receive.

~Admin Team

There are several levels set for donations at this time. We do plan to add trophies, as well as monthly high score totals in the very near future.

---

"Greetings Mistica! It is so good to see such spirits, even with Queen Boreal attempting to stir up trouble. Well, have no fear, King Blithe is here to keep the good times coming! Search out your next winter gift by looking for a riot, or distrubance of sorts. I have a feeling that this sort wouldn't hesitate to join in the fracas!"

The jolly King calls for more feasting and fun, but we are pretty sure deep down, he's formulating a plan for Boreal's machinations.


Every day brings us closer to Mistmas, and the Yuletide Spirit remains in Boreal's clutches. Whatever will happen next?

~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

At the present time, if you have 9 slots filled, you will not be able to 'adopt' another pet. This is affecting staff and users alike.

As soon as Zenk0 is on, he will be able to quickly fix the issue. He was looking at the system yesterday, so he should be able to find the issue with no problem.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, this will be fixed ASAP.

** Update by zenk0
Everyone should be able to adopt pets again from the pound.

It's Friday!

Where could that Sylk be? We know everyone has kept an eye out for him, and he's been laying low.


Oh look! Another clue for today!



What gibberish is he spouting about now? Queen Boreal is laying low as well... it seems almost odd, doesn't it?

On to more exciting things, hurry over to get your Obsideon tonight!** And if their heart is icy and cold, perhaps this theme will suit them! And the Quari has joined the 'party' as well!



~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

---

**Obsideons will be released tonight and throughout most of the day tomorrow. Keep checking in for your chance! And, many thanks to Qesque and Charlie for today's Winter Cursed pets!

Mistmas! It's the best time of the year.
I don't know, if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer!


Or how about an avatar...? The Sylk has left another note!



I wonder where you could head to get the next clue in today's puzzle?

While we ponder that, please lend your attention to the newest members of the land of Mistica. The frost Belragoth (now available once more in the credit shop!), and the Winter Cursed Mericai!



~Admin Team

A hearty thank you to Charlie and LazyKat for today's pet contributions! And to the ever lovely Sparkles for her amazing graphics!

But not these fine new pets!




Now some gentlemen may prefer blondes, but I think for our hunt today, blue may do!




And the snowmen lollipops are now stocking in the holiday store! Get yours now, they are R5 to retain their gourmet status, but will be stocking 2 at a time for the holidays!



~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

Let's give a hand to Qesque and Captain Zebra for our lovely pet additions today!!

Well, first the shop updates, stock is starting to fill up the shelves of Mistica. The candycanes can now be found stocking at Rosebud's.



To maintain their gourmet status, they are R5, but since the demand for these culinary delights will be so high, they will be stocking in quantities of 2. (And this may go up depending on demand. It will not exceed 4 at a time.)

And, it appears the the skies of Mistica may be a little darker this evening...**



Enjoy Mistica! More items will be filling the shelves tomorrow, so be on the lookout!

~Admin Team

A great big thank you to Thanatoast and CaptainZebra for the additions to the Mistic family!

Where is this week going? So much is happening around the land of Mistica. Queen Boreal is nowhere to be seen, I wonder what she could be plotting next...?

The sweet Sylk has left us another clue:


Hurry up Mistica!* Your gift awaits. Remember to tune in later for some shop stock updates!

~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

*Gifts will now remain active for a period of two days each. So Sunday's gift is now down, but Monday's is still available. Best of luck!

Edited to add: The Mysterious Mistic event does not appear to be showing up in this location. However, the item is appearing in inventories. :)

Prizes have been awarded. :)

Of an old favorite. **


This gourmet food is available if you can decipher the trail of clues that the Sylk has left us. He's been terribly busy and all we have is this first note.

"To continue your journey, battle you must do.
Small arms, and big teeth, I bet you know who!"

Can you pick up the trail from here Mistca?



And to continue these Mistmas celebrations. You can now create the Frost Yehxil and the Winter Cursed Emperon!***

**- The snowflake cookie has retained its status as a Gourmet food item. It's R5 so that it may stock for a limited time in the bakery for the holiday season!

***-A big thank you to Lizcakes for her contribution of the Winter Cursed Emperon! And of course, a round of applause for Charlie for the Yehxil!

Misticpets is looking for some artists to join our team!

"Hope everyone is having fun searching out that avatar. It will only available for until tomorrow's clue is posted. So hop on it!"

The little Sylk continues.

"I've seen some mighty strange creatures out and about in the land today! Have you ever seen anything like it?"

****

"And Sebastion is stocking a very filling new item! A new gourmet food to add to your pets menu!"


"Hurry on in to wait your turn for one today, perhaps he'll have a special treat for you!" the Sylk scampers away to continue on his hunt for advent presents and the Spirit of Yuletide.

** We'd like to offer a sincere thanks to Qesque and Thanatoast for today's pet art. Lets give them a round of applause!

The joyful season of giving seems to be flourishing despite the machinations of a certain icy Queen. Huzzah to the community of Mistica!



Today's gift is certain to delight citizens near and far throughout the land. You'll have to search it out, and the going may be tough. This present will be available until Monday, and will run concurrently with tomorrows clue when it is released.

The gift itself is the only clue you'll get. *winks*

It seems that we now have our answer for where the Yuletide Spirit could be. Whatever can we do to stand against this Queen Boreal?**

Well, we can continue with our holiday festivities while it's still warm enough to go outside for one!

This next gift can be found if you can muster the courage to challenge the right competitor to a fight. Are you game?

**Be sure to catch the previous newspost below!

"Well Mistica... isn't this a happy gathering of souls? My name is Queen Boreal, and I plan on turning the entire planet into a befitting kingdom for myself. And your Yuletide Spirit will sing for my amusement. You'll never find it!"


"And my winter curse is already spreading through the land. You will all be powerless to stop it!"



Oh no! This is far worse than any plague... Who is this Queen and where did she come from?

~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

Clue for today's advent gift to follow shortly, seems a Queen threw a wrench in our plans! Oh no!

"You were probably expecting someone else in today's newspost, weren't you?"

You spy a curious creature that looks at you with an air of disdain.


"My mistress has sent me to tell the citizens of Mistica that there is no hope left for your precious Yuletide Spirit. In a gilded cage it sits, and there it shall stay."

Who is this fiend's Mistress? What mayhem is she plotting? Journey to a most knowledgeable shopkeeper to see if she has any wisdom to impart. We may be in more trouble than we thought!!



~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

of Yuletide spirit still exists somewhere in Mistica!



"Seek the place where gifts are often sought. And the Yuletide spirit is sure to grow stronger and give us more direction in where to search!"



The small Sylk smiles shyly at the citizens of Mistica, and wanders off to continue his search for the wayward spirit of the season.

Off Topic chat now counts once again in your post count. There is a new board open for Forum Games and for exchanges dealing with other petsites, (within the rules of course). Take note of the new rules on the Hatchipal Chat board. Thank you!

"I'm sure that everyone had great fun finding their gift yesterday. I've been hunting high and low for this next gift, but I fear that finding the next clue is going to be like finding a Needle in a Haystack!"

Sadly, the small pal continues, "I"m starting to fear that the Yuletide spirit isn't lost, but has been stolen! Who could lay claim to such an evil deed?"


Who indeed Mistica? Is there a person in Mistica whose heart is two sizes too small?

The holiday season is upon us, and everyone is in full swing getting ready! Shopkeepers are breaking out the holiday lights, Mistica citizens near and far are writing up their wishlists for MeriKlaus. And somewhere in the bustle.. you come across this little fellow plaintively crying for help.

"Mistica! Something terrible has happened... the spirit of yuletide has gone missing from the Blizzard Realm! We just HAVE to band together and go in search of it. Without it... I'm afraid Yuletide just won't happen!"

He continues, "Things kept getting misplaced from the workshop. There are gifts all over Mistica for the citizens to find. Today's gift is... well it's not entirely clear. I can feel that it is near toys, in a place of celebration. Can you find it? Perhaps it will bring us a step closer to the spirit of Yuletide!"

Are you ready Mistica? Are you on the case?

Keep checking the news each day for another clue to finding a present! Sometimes there will be puzzles, and somedays.. the hunt may continue from one place to the next! All in the fun of the holiday season. Will we find the spirit of Yuletide in time? Did it wander away... or was it stolen? All these questions and more will be answered as the month continues. Chat about your theories and ideas on the newly opened PLOT Board in the forums!
