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....might come back later to comment more on this. When I'm a little less irked. Instead of raising the price - DOUBLING it, for flip's sake! - without any notice doesn't seem like a good way to deal with an overloaded queue. Taking them out of the shop would be better, wouldn't it? And then putting them back in shop when the queue is caught up.
Now I really wish I was one of the lucky few to get a coin from an apple, with the prices gone up. I hope this is temporary - or will this stay even when the queue is caught up?

it just means people are making OR hoarding too much bp ... so this creates a sinkhole where the bp will be reabsorbed into the system. this isnt the first time we've seen this. and the only ones it'll really affect are the casual players the diehards that are on all day and have amassed a fortune in bp / gp wont be so slowed by it.

It's sad, but I expected this to happen XD I already have 3 MBCs without much effort, two from apples, and one from something I can't remember. Plus it has seemed really easy to get a few mil quickly lately, even though I've been buying up BP and GP pets (although of course those were much easier to get this month too).

I guessed this would happen. Sooner or later. I understand why so many are angry about this, but I also understand the nessecerity (is this a word?) of this.
The only thing that I would like to complain about is: you showed us new neat custom/breeding/predicts tutorials and still didnt replace them with the old ones in the menu. Pleeeeeeeeease change that! Q A Q Please?

Is there a list of all these breeding rules somewhere? I'm afraid that if I actually get into breeding I'll have no idea what all the rules are (and I won't go digging through millions of news posts, haha) and I'll screw things up and lose items because I had no idea. :x
