12th December - Wocky Day!

*To start off thihs extra special day, Wockies can now be transformed into Invisible and Ice versions!

*Check out this rather snazzy new Background.

*Wockies will be able to collect their free training from Captain Threelegs all day long at his Swashbuckling Academy.

*Snow Wocky fans will want to get their hands on this new avatar.

*There are pages and pages of awesome Wocky Day pictures on display in the Art Gallery.

*What's this? A Wocky Blog?

*What better way to start Wocky Day than to send in your witty phrase for this Caption Contest?

*Check out all the new Wocky themed Poems!!!

*Stop by the Food Shop and you should be able to pick up some treats that will make your Wocky Day celebrations go with a bang.

*Yay! Some more Wocky Shopkeepers have been released.

*There are four new Wocky Buddy Icons for you to choose from.

*A new round of the Story Telling Competition has begun.
It was too late to turn back, though. The Xweetok took another breath and straightened out her coat. It was a little too large for her, but she didn't have time to be picky. Besides, it wasn't like these pirates were all that familiar with the height of fashion. Biting her lip with determination, Kyra began striding toward the doors...

*Give your webpage or shop a new look with one of these cute Wocky Fun Images.

Yay, Wocky Day!
Well, kind of. . .
A lab-only color and invisible are a little disappointing. At least the art gallery is good :3

I'm really disappointed, not angry, just really really disappointed. I'm biased of course as Wockies are my favourite pets and I've been looking forward to this pet day for ages. But really, we get <i>invisible</i> and ice, no proper redraws, not even a pretty colourfill and on top of that an avatar that apparently has nothing to do with wockies anyway but snow pets.

I was desperately hoping for maraquan, darigan, royal or tyrannian, and I was prepared to make do with a nice colourfill. It's silly I know but wockies are my favourite pets, my first pet was and is a wocky and this pet day just really bites. Perhaps they could have done with giving more attention to pets that already exist, especially on their pet day, rather than churning out new ones. Especially on the pet's day

Thing is, there's so many Wockies that are on their servers but not at the Rainbow Pool... there actually IS a Darigan on the servers, so why won't they release it?

Because they enjoy watching us suffer?

I agree Trick, I've been hoping beyond hope for a nifty Wocky redraw as well. It's one of the more popular pets (it beats out Zafara, at least), but gets less stuff released for it, it seems like. I was also kinda hoping for a not-ugly wocky plushie from the advent calendar, but maybe next year.

Edit: and what is with the Fantastic Four blog? o.x

Darigan Wocky? o_o Huh? *wishes Neocolors would come back*

Poor Wockys (Wockies?) - this hasn't been the best pet day for them

Remember the past years of the Advent Calendar on Wocky Day? Much better than this year's >_>

Hmm, now that I think about it, an actual Ginderbread Wocky would be cool

Yay! No one noticed this so I get the honor.

Notice something amiss? Three words into the day and we get a mispelled word.

Edit: I mean misspelled. (Not really an edit, just making a joke)

PS: I am wasting space here to wish my brother a happy 26th b-day once again. Contact him at mailto:electricaliengod@yahoo.com to share your wishes.

Huh... I SWEAR there was one on the nifty color-thingy that Neoitems.net has at least a few days ago... I was looking for possible colors for Wockies for their special day, but thought it maight have already been released since Maraquan wasn't available at the Rainbow Pool either... I had planned to show about 4 colors not at the Rainbow pool but then thought it might be a glitch at the pool...
*ponders*
Or maybe my head exploded?

Nope, no Darigan, Mutant, Tyrannian, Royal or Maraquan. Yet the colours they do have, redrawn, Robot and Halloween, are great. And their Faerie is nice too, though a redraw would have been great. They deserved more.

My favourite thing in the news is the Invisible Wocky. :roll:

Robot is great, Faerie is great, Halloween is. . . not great

I think Halloween should look like the skeleton wocky plushie. But instead it looks like poo :/

I created a pet long, long ago, named PrimaDonnaWilliams who I intended to make a Halloween wocky. Unfortunately I couldn't really stand the the thought of having that face greet me everyday.
