Mistic Pets

Suggest new pets to help celebrate 10,000 Misticans??

I think that is a fabulous idea!

I am very proud to introduce the newest two members of the Mistica Family.

The beautiful and shy Inarbu!



And the fearsome, credit shop Pet, Belragoth!



Braenons will be taking a break from the credit shop shortly. Belragoths will be available very soon.

(Small issue that I am working to solve at this very moment which involved releasing the colors as well!)

Both pets will be available in all 12 'normal' colors. Unfortunately at this point, credit shop pets need to visit Feron to receive a color change from 'normal'. We hope to remedy this soon.

Mistica Unite!

The Overgrown Obsideon has received a gorgeous revamp!




Please enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS MISTICA!

We have surrpassed 10,000 members of Mistica! This is a great accompmishment and we are all thrilled.

To celebrate, we are of course working on a shiney trophy for everyone's lookup, but there is also a returning friend in the giveaway! (To be followed tomorrow morning by a new companion!)

Congratulations to....

Rue!


Enjoy your Voodoo Pandoria Box!

This concludes the Voodoo Box weekend Giveaway. It was a lot of fun!

Enjoy your Voodoo Pandoria Box!

One more giveaway Voodoo Pandoria Box will be given out tomorrow night.

Mistica Unite!

~Zarabeythe
Site Manager

Not exactly!

After retiring to bed, my foot still throbbing in pain, it turns out that I was plagued with horrible dreams of pins and needles, button eyes... In a panic, I quickly woke up and summoned Pandoria to see if she had an explanation!

Luckily for me, she did. The box that I tripped on last night WAS a Pandoria Box! A Voodoo Pandoria Box to be exact!

These are now available in the credit shop. However, Pandoria has indicated that the supply of swamp magick for the Pandoria boxes is somewhat fickle. They may not last very long in there.

To celebrate the release of this new them, three boxes will be randomly given out in the same manner as the previous box giveaway. One for the next three days. (Fri, Sat, Sun.)

And without further ado, the first two pets to be touched by Pandoria's immense swamp power are.... The Voodoo Cheran and Voodoo Gourix!



Enjoy Mistica! All of the speculation was amazing and wonderful to read! Your enthusiasm and excitement are contagious!

Mistica Unite!

We all know the routine... picking up around the site after a long days work. Tidying up, making sure things are in order before going to bed.

And what happens? I tripped on this box someone left lying around! I've hurt my toe and it's a horrible "stabbing" pain!



Who could have left this lying around? I wonder what it does....?


~Zarabeythe
Site Manager

It's two Mistica pets in new themes!! Don't they look stunning?

It is my greatest pleasure to introduce the Inferno Mandoran and the Storm Ahbruis!



There are some great things just on the horizon for the site and users alike. Thank you for bearing with us. Great things are coming our way Mistica!

~Zarabeythe
Site Manager

It is a miraculous thing! I was beginning to doubt it had ever existed... Trapped in a deep dark dungeon, slaving away over a special surprise for Mistica, makes a girl think crazy things.

But it exists! And so does this surprise! *winks*

Thought I'd give you another teaser, as it's nearing completion... I'm getting more and more exited. And I know that you are all busting at the seams to see what we've been up to!

As I was walking up the stairs, towards the light as it were... I tripped over this strange egg..and its' cracked too! Near as I can figure, someone was boiling eggs too long for easter, but hey sure did color them pretty...


So pretty, it's a shame that it's cracked and somewhat 'broken'...

~Zarabeythe
Site Manager

Wander on over to User Preferences, and see the beautiful Spring Layout that Sparkles has made for us all!

Featuring many of the of the new, adorable items from our talented artsits, I'm sure it will be a big hit with everyone!

---

It's been great reading all the speculation and musings regarding that mysterious cracking egg... hopefully it won't be too much longer now! *winks*

Enjoy the layout!**

~Zarabeythe

**This layout is available to everyone for a limited time. When the seasons change, so too will this layout. So remember, summer is just around the corner...

Rosebud has decided to set up shop a bit more 'permanently' here in Mistica! I guess she couldn't bear to leave us all.

It seems she has been quite busy in gathering up Easter and Spring items for everyone! A very large assortment, I couldn't possibly show them all! (over 20 items!) Rosebud did ask that a special thank you go out to a very special crafter, I believe she said the name was LazyKat? Thank you LazyKat!!





The shop will start stocking very soon, and I know that many of you will be camped out. But please take time to step outside tomorrow and enjoy the springtime air!!

At some point tomorrow.. (today??) there will be a special little pal put up in the giveaway. But don't fret, he will remain up for at least 24 hours once he's put up for 'grabs'.

And there is also something a bit special brewing for the citizens of Mistica. We are hoping to indulge your curiousity tomorrow, and will be working a lot of overtime to see if we can pull it off...


Hmm....I wonder what this could be.... ??


~Zarabeythe
Site Manager

So I didn't miss out on the news post for the day!

Whew!

Well, staff have been very busy gearing up for the fun holiday weekend. So today is just the first taste of what we have in store for you all!

Please line up in an orderly 'fashion' for these adorable accessories. They are sure to liven up any easter weekend ensemble!

Bunny Hats!





Enjoy your weekend Mistica!

You want to label us the 'bad' guys, and you want to be upset because we are enforcing the rules of the Terms of Service that you agreed to when you made your account.
We can take being called the 'bad guys', though you have never seen that face from us. The staff here at Misticpets has always tried to be kind, courteous and fair to our members. However, using this site to advertise or grow membership on another site is not okay. We work hard, and will continue to work hard to improve the site, make fun activities and a warm and welcoming place to all who wish to be a part of the Mistica Community.

X. Users linking to other sites

No linking to commercial sites or competitive sites are allowed. Fan sites and non-commercial sites are allowed unless they hold the purpose to steal information from users or hack accounts. Then they are strictly prohibited.

Unless you want us to prohibit everyone from exchanging username information and general talk of other sites, please help us out by abiding by our few simple rules.

linking to your deviant art, (allowing for the PG rating that we ask offsite links to follow), and things along those lines are quite fine and we welcome them. However, linking to commercial sites and other places that are membership based is a low blow to the hard work of a staff that has always tried their best for the site and its members.

Let's all work together towards growing the Mistica community and stop expounding so much energy fighting to use the site as a platform for other games.

Mistica Unite!

In good news, it seems that the first of the Spring Holiday items are out. Call it what you will, Easter or Ostara, it's only a few days way!



Go get your yummy cookie in the giveaway today!

We have a couple new beautiful Znakes for the users of Mistica to enjoy!

They are very strange creatures these Znakes... I don't know how they came up with these arrangements!



Now to clear up some confusion out there. The whacked snakes will eventually 'retire' for the year. I"m sure everyone's arm will get a bit tired after a few weeks of 'whacking' those poor creatures.

Soon though, the RE system will be 'fixed' and functional and we will have more 'regulated' holidays. We hope to have the function to attach avatars to items fixed up again soon. And when that happens, we have some great goodies in store.

We understand that the lag issues have been very frustrating. It was even more so for us, and poor Nick... he wasn't able to connect to get ANY progress on this stuff for all of us. Bear with us just a bit longer, and you will see so many great improvements around the site. It will be well worth the agony and suffering that we've all endured.

Mistica Unite!

The "adoptables" on the site have gotten out of control.

It started with a simple Egg, and now has blossomed into Digimons, Poke-Plushie items, Wajas, Evelons, and more. Unfortunately, all of these things put strain on the site servers, as
well as supporting and advertising sites of competitors.

This is against our Terms of Service as excerpted below:

X. Users linking to other sites

No linking to commercial sites or competitive sites are allowed. Fan sites and non-commercial sites are allowed unless they hold the purpose to steal information from users or hack accounts. Then they are strictly prohibited.

And again the issues at hand are addressed here:

VIII. Modification of Misticpets.

We hold the right to modify update and edit Misticpets in any way we wish. We reserve the right to alter any content whether it is Misticpets added content or User added content. Any and all images, writings, art, or ideas you submit to Misticpets becomes the property of Misticpets to use as Misticpets wishes and you forfeit all rights to it. If you are under age 18, please remember to check with your parents before sending or posting anything. By sending it you have agreed to the above paragraph.

By posting these eggs and adoptable to our website, you are entering very murky waters concerning their copyright. It is for their sake, as well as our users that we wish to avoid all problems that could ensue.

At this point we are asking for the co-operation of our members to show support to OUR site and compliance with the Terms of Service. We are asking that all links and adopt-ables for competitive sites be removed from profiles, signatures and forum discussions.

We have tried to be flexible but concerns have been raised, and there are quite a few valid points. It seems the boundaries are endless, and there is no way to draw lines that allow for compromise at this point.

After three days time, the accounts/signatures found to have not been changed voluntarily will be staff altered and considered a site violation.

Good morning Mistica!

I apologize for not posting last evening, it seems the flu has hit my family... yet again. The box giveaway for the time being has ended. But be on the lookout for some great activities and fun coming your way soon!

---

I know that we are all painfully aware of the server issues we are experiencing. We are not alone, and Impulse is wracking their brains to try and get us back on track. I stress that this is temporary and will relay information as I receive it.

---

On the 'good' news front... it seems that there will be limited quantities of the LE pets** throughout the day! Best of luck to all of you that have been waiting for that special companion!


~Zarabeythe
Site Manager

Facing the week might seem a bit more festive this week, as it's headed off by this fun holiday!



But wait! It seems that when St. Paddy drove the snakes from that far off, 'mythical' land of Ireland... they decided to move to Mistica!**



If I were you, I'd head over to the giveaway and pick up your free 'whacking stick' for defense!



~Zarabeythe
Site Manager

Pssst! It appears that in addition to the snakes that overan the Creepy Critters Shop.... there seems to be an elusive rare pet...Rock?! (stocking in the forest shop!)

---

** Snake misticpals will be added at various points today to the shop, so be on the lookout! The Blarney and Whacking Stick are available now. *winks*

A few things to go over before we get to the box winner for this evening..

---

Ever felt that you could come up with a totally awesome Trivia question? Well, we are giving the citizens of Mistica the opportunity to submit their trivia suggestions to:

mistic.trivia.suggestions@gmail.com

Please make sure to include your question as well as the answer and how it was derived.

Your name will appear with the trivia in question as Submitted by: and you will also have a jump start on the answer and subsequent prize. *winks*

---

Many names have been released from Banned accounts, so if you had looked at one point, a name could very well be available once more... Good Luck!

And finally... tonight's Great Box Giveaway Winner is:

Liz4!


I hope you enjoy your Terror Pandoria Box! Congratulations!


~Zarabeythe
Site Manager

While we have a great community here, and we appreciate each and every one of you, we are afraid that there are still rules to go by.

Each member is only allowed to create one account. Recently, however, we have been running into a lot of multiple accounts. Because of this, we are being forced to investigate and sort through them.

Because of this, approximately once a month our staff will be making random checks to be sure our members are all playing fairly and are in ownership of only one account, per player. There are many varying ways to find multiple accounts.

Please, if you have a side account that needs to be deleted contact RuthieRox or Melissa, via site mail.

---

We also must take this opportunity to remind you all to periodically review our Terms of Service. In addition to this, Misticpets.com and its staff urge each of you to comply with the ToS and rules of other sites when trying to recruit, or display Mistica Pride on those other sites. We do not wish to infringe upon the order and regulations concerning the other sites in question.

---

The Mod Trainees have been selected. We thank all of you that chose to submit applications. The decisions were tough, but had to be made. Those who have been selected have been notified, and you will see them on the staff list shortly.

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well. First off let me apologize for the time it has taken for societies, It is taking a bit longer to work out all the kinks and fine tune everything to be exceptional and really take us a step ahead of the competition. The upside to this? The upside is I have created a lot of re-usable code that will make new features in the future MUCH easier, and faster to develop. Thanks for the great patience,
~Nick

Sometimes...

It's good to reiterate the rules.

We have a great community here onsite, and I'd like to take the opportunity to reiterate a couple rules from the Terms of Service that you all agreed to when you signed up.



--No sexual content, sexual images, sexual gestures.
--No flirting, romance or dating for yourself, your pets or your role-playing and/or writing.
--DO NOT post any personal information that could be used to identify you or find out other personal identity information.

These are just a few rules that seem to be lost in the fun of the site lately. I encourage everyone to take a few mins from their day to read over the ToS and rules regarding the use and play of Misticpets.com

Tomorrow, profiles will start being cleaed with warnings issued to those who continue to break the ToS.

Enjoy your day! Light hearted news will follow this afternoon as an addendum to this post. (So that it will not be pushed down.) Please continue to check back!
