I know you all want to get apples - but doing so in an illegal way will not be tolerated. Users have been holding down f5/spamming the site right tons of tabs and as such, has caused the site to act as if it were being attacked. I just got the server guys to look at it and they provided me with a list of IPs which were spamming the site. I linked those IPs with accounts on Ichumon and if this keeps happening, I will ban all those accounts associated with the IP addresses. Play the site fairly, do not use programs, addons or anything like that otherwise you will get banned. Its unfair to regular users who are trying to play the site in the normal way. This is the only warning I'm giving you. Thank you

~ Posted by Ole on 2009-08-02 20:14:15

You no longer need apples to throw at the Ole's Ban Hammer Pinata or SuperTurtle's Turtle Pinata Now stop spamming f5

The Job Centre has opened up and is looking for Ichuans who want to stack shelves at the local Tesco! - no, just kidding! The Job Centre is looking for users to be Clerics, Craftsmen, Blessers and Trainers. You may have noticed Locked Treasures chests being obtainable by playing games on Ichumon. Well, the craftsmen can create special keys to unlock these chests! Remember those pesky diseases? Well Clerics can create a wide range of curing items which will instantly remove the disease from your Ichumon. We have updated the heal centre (healing diseases costs 10K and has a very low chance of actually trying to cure your Ichumon). If your Ichumon has a disease, you won't be able to restock or use the RPG Trainers can create stat-boosting items for your Ichumon AND your Ichumon's Ichie! Blessers can create weather effects which will override the current weather. These weather effects last for a certain amount of time only though. Whenever you buy a Premium Star from the CashShop you will have a random chance of getting a Locked Premium Chest! We will be adding a few more things to the site over the weeks- more ways of getting diseases, more ways of obtaining treasure chests and changing a few items and effects and other things
