"Hey there! Ready to order? We serve breakfast all day!"

Ready to enjoy a seriously hot breakfast? Head on down to Keilly's Kafe! Keilly is now stocking several new breakfast items right at her "kafe" in Mistica's hottest desert. If you get there early enough you might be able to grab a seat in the shade. Wear thick shoes if you're left standing in the sun - the sand will burn your feet!




Stop in for some hot-off-the-skillet hash browns and omlettes or a piping hot cup of cocoa - all yours to enjoy under the Ravi-Sorin sun. Yay?

Misticpets and its staff do not condone members spamming other sites attempting to get referrals or activity on this site.

We are very proud of our userbase and the site we've all built together. But spamming another site and interrupting their normal flow of business is not okay and not the reflection of this site and its users.

ANY user found to be tied to attacks of any sort on other sites faces loss of pets, items and accounts here on Misticpets.

The Stignightus is available for creation/adoption!



Please enjoy, and don't hoarde the LE pets. Mistica is a wonderfully loving and kind community and we want as many people as possible to enjoy the LE pet release.

There will be several releases throughout the day/night. Do not fear if you miss one 'wave'.

The desert lands were not done revealing all that they have to offer yesterday.

Please welcome the newest pets of Mistica...

The Anya and the Comeil!

A strange, warm wind blows from the East… It seems that Pandoria has opened a path the desert lands! Undertake the journey and see what treasures await you! Some of the desert citizens have opened up shop in preparation for the expected new traffic heading their way.

Perhaps you should first make a stop at Keilly’s Kafe? You’re sure to pick up a tasty and refreshing treat to beat the desert heat. Just look for the yellow umbrellas!


With all of the new desert sights and sounds, your pet is sure to be pestering you for a new desert friend to play with. Perhaps you can visit Bakr at the new Desert Cohort shop? She has plenty of hardy, desert friends for your pet to play with.


There is plenty to see and lots to do at Ravi-Sorin. Be sure to thank Pandoria and enjoy your time there!

We were able to get the coding completed for more space on user and pet profiles!


-Now please remember the following:
-5500 character limit, including spaces and coding.
-5 graphics
-1 link on each profile for additional webpage setup for more information/space.

As always, keep the ToS (Terms of Service) and rules of the site in mind. Tonight, there will be a guide issued to help users understand profiles and their limits and rules.

More updates!

-New mail and replies should stand out a little bit better with the addition of the "red" unopened mail icon!

-You can now mass msg your buddy list! Take care in accepting friend requests! :)

We understand the frustration. We all feel it right now. There was no notice to anyone regarding the limit being set last night. IF there had been, we definitely would have informed everyone with a few days notice.

We apologize for the inconvenience and there will be a board to discuss further options in Bugs/Help located:

/forums.php?a=viewtopic&tid=12124

Please keep the site in mind and the reason that we asked for limits to be included in the first place.


~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

Well, coders are just moving along no? This is wonderful to see, all the changes and more to come.
The most recent update that needs to be announced is in reference to user and pet profiles. There is now a limit to characters allowed. The allowed limit of characters per pet page / profile is 2500. This has been done to help the loading of pages, as well as keep things neat and tidy.
Members will be mailed if their profiles are in need of repair and after one weeks time, if no updates are made, staff will step in to help out.

** As a small tip, it is always recommended to save your work to your computers notepad or another form of ref. for any possible future needs.

We know that user galleries have experienced some difficulties over the past day or so. Coding has been working on them for some updates, but please be assured that nothing has gone 'missing'. All items will be safe and in working order within the next couple of days.

Please relax and don't panic. As updates come to the staff, we will get them out to the userbase. The Coding team is working on a list for us so we know where we stand. But we have been assured that items will remain with accounts. It is the 'display' that is glitched at the moment.

~Admin Team

School is just around the corner, but you should set some time aside to dive into these fun treats that are now stocking at the Village Books!



Enjoy!

Last night, there was an unintended glitch that affected green party poppers. Several users received free pet slots by playing with the item.

We urge those that mistakenly took advantage of this glitch to step forward and send a mail onsite to:

Zarabeythe
RuthieRox

So we can get this straightened out. Coding will be doing account audits to see who was affected. If you fail to step forward, you are risking your account.


Thank you for your cooperation. On a happier note, the coding team continues to work hard to fix some bumps on the road as well as many other bugs/glitches around the site. We will update accordingly.

~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

Please do not use the stack feature at this time. The team in China is fast asleep and cannot correct a problem that was discovered. Please unstack any items you have and do not use this feature until we have cleared it with a news post.


We apologize for any inconvenience, we hope to have it corrected ASAP.


~Admin Team
Misticpets.com

Thank you!

Sitiophobia: The fear of eating or the fear of food.

This just in! Despite the previous news posts made on the 7th of August and 29th of July, eating the Widow or Recluse Spider Pops sold at Spooky Creations will not cure arachnophobia. Clayton's twelve step arachnophobia program is not curing anyone's fear of spiders and, instead, has put sitiophobia on the rise. The program has been canceled, but you are still welcome to purchase the spider pops for your own eating enjoyment.



In other news, Clayton is now selling some brain food that he guarantees might** make your pets smarter! Stop in Spooky Creations and pick up a few!


**Clayton recommends that you supplement your pet's mind with plenty of books and study sessions in addition to eating brain food for maximum results.

We see a beautiful, graceful little bird come down and grace us with its splendor!

Welcome the Zodiac Skillow!



I'm sure there are many out there ready to give one of these lovely pets a home, I hope you all enjoy!

The land of Mistica rings out with the fun of celebration today! In honor of Afterglow's birthday celebration, Rosebud is now stocking some funtastic items!



Tormic has found an unusual denizen of the forest lurking about recently, and you can approach him to buy one of these lovely little misticpals!


Not to be outdone, a familiar-faced plushie can be had at the Plushie Domain!


And for Misticans far and near whose birthday celebrations are coming up, don't forget to check your avatar list for this new default avatar!

Afterglow, from the admin team and the entire staff, we hope this day was filled with laughter, joy, and fun!

There have been plenty of new forest and camping theme items released throughout the summer, but the shop keepers of Mistica do realize that not everyone is the "outdoorsy" type. If camping just isn't your thing, you can grab a couple of these forest themed plushies and enjoy some friends that won't make odd sounds or pester you while you try to sleep.


Well, they try not to make odd sounds. They can't help it if you squeeze them!

Can you find this squeeky new avatar?

Everyone remembers the "Arachnophobes Bite Back" news update from July 29th, correct? Well, it's time to continue on with Clayton's twelve step program to curing arachnophobia! So you've conquered steps one through six? Now it's time to move on to seven through twelve.

The giveaway continues, but it is on its last legs. Remember to keep checking back, but we urge you to keep some perspective.

Please remember that the giveaway is fun. It is not meant to take up your time exclusively and make you ignore real life demands. We have attempted to be as fair as possible, staggering the events to run day and night for the many time zones and countries that enjoy the site. We did not do this in a ploy to make our users lose sleep, or ignore life. The times are limited to protect the rarity and value of the items we are giving away. And we did this to inject some fun and excitement. We hope you have and will continue to enjoy it.
