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 think its sad,it just strikes me that it all gets more and more expensive and rarer and rarer...ESPECIALLY with breedings.i understand that the artists have an overload of work,but seriously,the past weeks the LBC was retired.the EBC is almost gone completely and now the MBC is upped in price...it just feels a bit unfair to those who really like breeding at the moment.just my opinion though.

I never even saw a MBC in the apples. Thankfully, I have 2, but that was just from winning them from turning in a museum collection and from a user giveaway. I couldn't afford one before, and definitely can't now. :/ Guess I'll just keep trying to save up. :)

The LBC isn't retired. XD It was the Half LBC that got taken out. That may come back depending.

No! Oh no! Oh no! T^T This just isn't fair! I've been saving all month to get a MBC from the BP shop and right as I am about to have enough to go get one, the staff double the price! I didn't get one MBC out of the apples and they were the only thing really helping me get close to getting one from the store and now that they are GONE you choose to up the price. I feel so unlucky T-T
Oh well... I guess I'll just keep saving for another two months.... Or maybe I'll just give up on my dreams of breeding and use the money I was saving to get BP store pets... *sigh*

MBCs were like what, 3-4 GP in user shops? Yes, that is ridiculous. I agree with this change.

Seems like a good change. MBCs were becoming way too common, one look at Breeding Post forums would tell you that.

This just.... I'm a newer user, am finding that BP is NOT readily available, and have yet to even get anywhere near enough for a breeding coin. What the heck is this madness?

I got 3 or 4 MBCs from the apples last month. :P Either they aren't so so rare (I never got an RBC, but MBCs were a-plenty, along with essences) or I'm just oh-so-lucky.
Either way, this doesn't affect me much because I seldom breed. xD
