HUGE DAY!!

Today is HUGE DAY in Pandanda! Visit Paige for her Dragon Tears potion, and drink it to turn yourself into a HUGE panda. If you have a companion, like a dragon, horse, or sled, it will be HUGE too. Huge dragons - that's kinda scary!

When you visit Paige for potions, you will see that all of her potions are available to everyone! Yes, you can buy the Snizzle Fizzle, Bunny, and Turbo potions now, even if you are not an Elite member.

The Snizzle Fizzle potion is so cool! It is the potion that lets you bounce around in a big bubble. Snizzle Fizzle parties are the best, which is why Wednesday is going to be Snizzle Fizzle Day. I will be popping in (hahaha - popping in - in a bubble!) to have some fun with you.

Since Wednesday is also the 3rd Anniversary of Pandanda's Launch Day, if you were lucky enough to be a part of Pandanda way back on October 24th, 2009, you could wear your Launch Day t-shirt!

Let's cover Pandanda with bunnies on Thursday! So much fuzzy cuteness! Then, on Friday it will be Halloween Costume Day.

Come and spend the last week of Pandanda having fun with all of your friends!

Ghost Potion Day!

Hello my friends!

This may be the last week of Pandanda, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop. Let's give each day a special theme this week!

Today is Ghost Potion Day. Visit Paige in Bear Hollow to buy up lots of her Haunted Potions, then drink one to turn yourself into a ghost. You can even drink a Dragon Tears potion to become a huge ghost, or a Mouse Hair potion to become a tiny ghost!

Then get all of your ghostly friends together and haunt Pandanda! Take a crowd of ghosts to Darby Field to catch Bunnies. And see if you can catch ghosts at Misty Hill while you are a ghost yourself. Just stay away from the Blue Ghosts, because if they trap you in ice, they will take away your potion!

For tomorrow, stock up on the Dragon Tears potion, because Tuesday will be HUGE DAY! Giant Pandanda citizens stomping all over Pandanda Land!

I'll let you know what the rest of the themes will be tomorrow. Enjoy spending time with your friends, and have fun!

Feeling ghostly,
Henry

Pandanda Says Farewell

My dear Panda Pals,

It is with great sadness that I must announce the suspension of  Pandanda, as of Sunday, October 28th 2012. Pandanda has been a labor of love for me and the Pandanda Team, and we are deeply saddened that due to financial reasons, we must put development on hold.

Over the past four years we have grown an amazing community and we will miss you all. Your enthusiasm and creativity has been such a joy to everyone on the Pandanda Team. Thank you to our loyal fans and members for all of your love and support over the years.

I know that many of you will be sad, disappointed, and even angry at this news. Those are normal and ok feelings to have. But I hope you all will use this final week of Pandanda to hang out with your friends and focus on the fun and excitement you've shared here. Talk and laugh about your favorite memories, take some pictures with your Pandanda friends in your favorite locations, and remember all of the good times!

I am going to set up some Pandanda Memories Pages here on my Blog. If you want to write down some of your favorite Pandanda memories and send them to me, I will add as many as I can to the Pandanda Memories pages. We will only be able to post memories in English, so if you write in another language, please translate to English before you send them. You can also send screenshots of you and your friends having a great time! Please send memories and pictures to screenshots@pandanda.com.

October 27th will still be Free Elite Member Day, so everyone will be able to decorate their treehouses and have friends over, and buy and wear Elite clothes for one last time.

In addition to Free Elite Member Day, we hope you will join us for one last party on Saturday, October 27th to celebrate how awesome it has been to be a panda and to say farewell one last time. I will let you know more details about the party later in the week, but you can expect to see me, Sheriff Steele, and maybe even some other Pandanda friends that haven't visited in a while!

With many happy memories,
Henry

It's Time for Pumpkin Festival!

Check out all the pandas in their Halloween costumes visiting the Cauldron of Prizes. Yes, the Pumpkin Festival is in full swing in Pandanda Land. There are so many cool things to see and do!

The Pandanda citizens had decorated with pumpkins and vines, and you can hear spooky music and sounds in many rooms as you travel around Pandanda. They have even somehow managed to make it always night time - not the darkest night, but just dark enough to be a little spookier!

A magic mirror has appeared in Bear Hollow. I wonder what happens if you walk up to it? And make sure to visit Draco the Ghost in the Parlour. He has some Quests for you to complete. You will also find that some of the other Quest givers have some special Halloween Quests for you.

You will want to pick up all of the Halloween Candy you see laying around Pandanda. Then you can visit the Cauldron of Prizes in West Market Street to trade your candy for its awesome prizes. Yes, Black Panda Paint is back this year, and it is available to everyone, Elite members and non-members alike!

The House and Tree Catalog has been updated, including a couple of mysterious wallpapers for your treehouse, and some spiderwebs, too. And Farmer Ned still has a collection of jack-o-lanterns for sale. So get in there and decorate your treehouse for Halloween!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! There is a secret prize hidden for you somewhere in Pandanda!  If you have trouble finding it, ask other players. You might even find some help by visiting the blogs in the Official Pandanda Blogroll!

Pumpkin on, Pandas!

It's almost time for the Pumpkin Festival to begin! In a couple of hours the Pandanda citizens will have Pandanda decorated for Halloween. Draco the Ghost will be back in the Parlour with extra Quests for you. And Halloween Candy will be scattered all over Pandanda for you to collect, then trade to the Cauldron of Prizes at West Market Street for cool Festival prizes! I can't wait!

Party on, Pandas!

Pumpkin Festival Begins Wednesday!

Hey there, Panda Pals!

I must say, Halloween is certainly in the air in Pandanda! The Moderators have been telling me about all of the costumes they are seeing on pandas, and I've even seen some for myself. There are lots of cool Halloween costumes and clothes at Clothing Co. for Elite members and non-members, too.

Pandanda's Annual Pumpkin Festival will begin on Wednesday. During the Pumpkin Festival, there will be Halloween candy scattered all over Pandanda (except in treehouses).  When you pick up the candy, it will be put in your trick-or-treat pumpkin basket, which will show how many pieces of candy you have. You will be able to trade your candy for spooktacular prizes from the Cauldron of Prizes at West Market Street.

There are all kinds of spooky and special things that happen during the Pumpkin Festival. I don't want to spoil it for you if this is your first Pumpkin Festival, so I'm not going to reveal any more details. You'll just have to wait until Wednesday to see for yourself!

I haven't forgotten about the Orange Color Day pictures! I've already made an album that you can visit, and I'll post some of the pictures here in my Blog tomorrow.

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

Don't Miss It!

Hi Friends!

Zing Ballyhoo has packed his suitcases, and is getting ready to travel away from Pandanda to look for more cool prizes. You still have a few more hours to get his final prize before he leaves, but you have to hurry!

Just collect 10 Golden Tickets that are scattered around Pandanda, then visit Zing at Treehouse Lobby to trade your tickets to him for his prize. Zing will be leaving by midnight Pandanda Time tonight (Sunday, October 14th), so don't wait!

Party on, Pandas!
Henry
