July is going to be very exciting. Our biggest event of the year, Aywas Scavenger Hunt, will be premiering for its second run. This hunt is different from the one we had in January because it is so large! Stay tuned for more information about the Hunt. It will run through July 8 - 15th.

Aside from our HUGE scav event, there is a smaller event that's coming up for you to enjoy. The Vampires vs. Zombies game is coming back for another run as Chimera/Epsilon and Zave go head to head with all of you to determine which is better: Vampires or Zombies? Start thinking of who you'll team up with! The V vs. Z game will run through July 3 - 7.

As for features we have coming out this month, we expect that Adventure and the Battledome will be coming out, because the staff has been beta-testing it. :D We also have the following features ready to be tested and released: Guilds and Library/Book Publishing feature.

July is a good month for development (no events coming out in August, in other words) of a lot of new features, so August will see the release of a lot more new stuff to play with.

The ultimate breeding package! This package costs 75 GP, the price of a Breeding Coin - but it not only comes with a Breeding Coin, but it comes with two Hybrid Genus Vouchers! Breed the perfect hybrid with your coin and vouchers :)

Here are some questions for you, and the prize for each to the first person to answer correctly is a Hybrid Package.

1. What was the Huitzil named after? 2. What was the Ennae named after?

Here are some breeding-related contests we have running:

All of them are free and easy to enter and have a Hybrid Package as the prize, so why not give them a shot?

Free Monthly Customs
We're giving away nine customs designed during the previous month under the theme REAPER.

To play the free custom game, please include the phrase "CUSTOM #__" in your news comment. For example, if you want Custom 1, please comment "CUSTOM #1."

You may only request one custom, may only request once, and only one person will randomly win each custom.

7..............................8..............................9

The random drawing will occur on July 2, giving you a little over 24 hours to make your choice. :)

''Now that we're at the end, please remember to contact Visark (#185) for your artist's payment if you won any of the July contests. Note that we did end up picking nine per contest instead of six - that's not a mistake, they're just too beautiful to leave behind!''
