Seasons greetings Volties, it’s your boy Spark here reporting in! I gotta say, at first this cold weather really ruffled my tail feathers…but honestly now… I don’t mind it so much! I have successfully acclimated and am enjoying this beautiful diamond dust we call snow! I tried keeping a pet snowball named Chilli (get it? Like chilly, but the hot pepper instead?! Brilliant, I know!) but unfortunately he had other plans! I kept him in the freezer but he still poofed on me! Now he’s gonna miss everyone’s favorite common surge!
Gah! Oh well, can’t be helped I guess.
Milestone Achieved Hotter than the fashion I’m about to drop here, we hit a new milestone this week! You know what that means…AN EXCLUSIVE ITEM FOR YOUR ACHIEVEMENT! Our head chef Fozzy has cooked up for you
The Enchanting Guardian!
Every user will receive one for free that can be found in the Misc tab of your inventory. If you would like to purchase extras head on over to OMG Imports by clicking the shop picture below. The Enchanting Guardian is listed at 1.5k volts or 75 ohms. It will leave shelves after New Years day! Congratulations guys! Warms my heart we can always talk to each other.
Oh, hold up! I have a call coming in…hello? Why, it's my darling little sister Frizz! How unlike you to call me mid show, is there something you need me to say? Put you on speaker phone? Well, okay! Why not?
Hiya! Just wanted to let you guys know that Static and I are officially implementing our store’s first Community Leveling Milestone Items (MIs) soon! Well, how soon depends on you guys of course.
Once we reach 550,000 community posts, an item will unlock in our shop. 
Each existing user when that occurs will receive a free copy. Extra’s and new users can purchase the item within our shop throughout the duration of the three milestones.This item will have two levels of community posting goals to reach before being fully evolved. It’s second stage will unlock when the community reaches 625,000 posts.Then the final form will unlock when we reach 750,000 posts and remain purchasable in our shop for one week after unlocking the final pose. Then switched out with a new Community Leveling MI!That might seem a ways a way, but with our events and upcoming secret projects, we trust that time will zip by. So stay tuned! Back to you Sparky! Oh by the way, sorry about your snowball. I didn’t know what it was so I tossed it back outside…..
(Stay tuned for exclusive sneak peaks at the unlock-able MI and it's poses.)
What?! How could you Frizz!
Alright folks, it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for!
