Site Update
The main point of this newspost is to announce that MBCs have been upped in price in the BP Shop, to 3,000,000 BP each. I know some people might be disappointed in this, but I've seen that they are a bit too easy to get right now with how readily available BP is right now. Price hikes in order to combat a growing Aywas economy are to be expected, so I hope everyone can understand this change! Any items are subject to this within reason, and we consistently monitor the market to balance things out.
I also want to use this post to take people back a bit. Remember this proposition we made about making old x new lineart breedings predict-only? This came into effect March 22nd of this year. It includes Half LBC, LBC, and MBC, and I've realized that many people after that cutoff date continued to submit old x new lineart breedings that sit in the queue and clog it up.
So this is a warning to you all -- it was an unspoken rule in the past that we allowed a month to submit predicts in before you might risk not having them used due to the queue moving along. This is still a reminder for all other breedings to get predicts in quicker, but it pertains to these old x new breedings in particular. All people with an old x new breeding after the above cutoff date have until October 1 to submit predicts for it. After that, I will be going through and refunding all outstanding old x new breedings past March 22nd.
You would be surprised at how much this could potentially speed the queue along. There's still a lot left, and our dedicated artists have done well at cutting down the old x new prior to that date and getting out your offspring! Any before March 22nd will still be completed by artists, so don't fret there.
One last little thing -- please, please be sure to read the descriptions on the new breeding add-ons. There are rules for a reason! For example:
Edit Potion + Hybrid Embryo = Legit! 1 offspring, 50% edits, random hybrid species.
Edit Potion + Greater Fertility Potion = Not legit! Edit Potion = 1 Offspring, so you can't get two!
Artist Palette on a BC breeding = ...Doesn't work for this coin!
My policy is generally not to refund mistakes if I come across them in the queue. If a user contacts me, however, and explains their issue I do take more consideration on a case-by-case basis. If you submit and just neglect to read, though, I won't refund you! So heed this and happy breeding!

I got 3 MBCs from less than 30 apples. But I understand why the increase of price. However it won't stop me from doing this: -dramatic pose- NOOOOOOOOOOO JUST WHEN I STARTED LIKING MBCS

I think metal breedings are popular because they are a good value for the price, not because they are too easy to get. I've been saving for months to be able to afford one and still have a backing where I didn't have to worry about events. I'm sure others do the same.

._. I wasn't anywhere near being able to buy them before this price hike, so I guess it doesn't matter that I'm even farther from that now ._.

It seemed a little cheap, to be honest. I'm glad to see a better BP sink.

.... :C
I wasn't anywhere near being able to afford MBCs before this, and I'm definitely not anywhere near being able to afford them now. *sigh* Oh well...Just gonna have to add that to the constantly growing list of things I'll never be able to afford... :/

sadly no, but you get the same two random hybrids in that case.
Thats good to hear, after reading this news post I was worried you couldnt pair a great fertitliy potion with a hybrid embryo x-D

i got NO MBC at all and i opened over 30 apples. I'm hoping to see GP in the bp shop for a day and tht would take care of the inflation problem, and all the extra bp would go away overnight.

Yes they would. I have to agree with BD84 and Spade.

It sure sounded that way with all the talk of apples producing too much BP. I still just don't see it. They aren't exactly cheap on search. Then again a week ago Quil stones were only 2 GP so something wacky is happening. Meh.
