Site Update
This is a short newspost, so please be sure to check the one under this for Holiday related goodies!
Yasu coded for me a 60-day regen, so I'm using it for the purpose of making Lesser Breeding Pendants 60 day regen. I know people will be rather upset by this, but with several hundreds in circulation and the price of pendant slots still horribly devalued, this needs to be done to cut back. I mean, look at the queue...
Lesser Breeding Coin (x311) | Lesser Breeding Pendant (x383)
This should not be as imbalanced. Pendants are supposed to be rare, so we're hoping this combats it. Think of it logically:
RBPS and MBPs are cheapest and pendants regen at 30 days.
LBPs are mid-grade in price and regen at 60 days.
BPs, EBPS, PBPs, and HBPs are the rarest, and are at a 90 day regen for this reason.
Please understand we do this to keep the balance in the system, and we really want to be fair on all accounts. This effectively means for the amount of LBCs people submit, a little over that amount comes around for free in the system. I hope this pans out eventually despite the obvious frustrations it will cause.
Now aside from this, spend those Candy Canes and Snowflakes and carry on merrily!

seems fair, however I feel you need to give people some notice before you do stuff like this, like people who have paid in advance for slots are now going to have to wait. And when you took them out of the sp shop, I could have gotten the amount of sp needed to get my own LBP and dumped a whole bunch of money into the site in order to do so. Just please warn us next time, give us 24 hours or something before you take away or change big things like LBPs ;3;

This is unfair because people bought the pendant under the premise that it would be there every month. But I guess it wont ever change so...

Sounds good to me Frey. Tin and I have 4 LBPs, so the 2 for 1 might tempt us bit.

Only reason I'm slightly upset with this is because this is the second time something has changed with the pendents without warning :c I understand how warning can cause a sudden shift in things, but I think giving us time to talk to those who prepaid (in my case months in advance) would have been nice. Cause now we have to scramble. It's not really fair at all to those who worked to get them, to have them be changed so ... drastically. The site is growing, perhaps the solution is hiring more people, or training more people to look over predicts, than to take things away from the users. Removing them from the SP shop is one thing, but changing something that has been every-single-month-regenerated. That's another. This pendent I have regens on my friends BIRTHDAY. She was looking forward to using it as a gift. But now with this, it looks that that wish will go ungranted. >:c

This is a little random, but two questions I'm wondering if you know - do you know the certain percentage of chance of getting the HBP from the Tiny Giftbox and are allowed to tell, and do you know when the Miniature Phoenix Trees are going back to r100 again? They've been at AD for over half a year if memory serves me right now...

Makes sense to me! :) Of course, I don't have a pendant - just desperately want one so I will say anything pro-pendant! LOL
It does seem odd to be unbalanced that way though, your solution is very logical! xox - Topi

Hmmm....I understand, but this is going to severely devalue the lbp since now instead of producing 12 essential lbc's a year it only does...6. Why not change the pendants to actually allow you to collect the respective coin if one is not going to use it and keep the lbp on a 1 month regen? I mean, I bought mine for 300 gp and got Sia's at full SP price. At 23 gp for 6 months that is only about 138 gp which makes it less then half that I paid on it.

I'd like to know what's going on with the ones already used. I totally agree with this, but my pendant was due back in 9 days... Does this mean I have to wait till February to use it again? Not that I mind, cause you guys are so swamped, just curious :)
