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...

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!

Does this mean we won't be able to trade 3 pendants in for a PBP?

Mally: Frey posted that the 2 (not 3) LBPs for a PBP is pending (as in not yet decided).
Bottom of pg 3 is the most recent comment on it that I've seen: And I don't know yet if we'll actually put into effect the 2/1 LBP to PBP deal yet, just stay tuned!

I have a LPB, and of course it's upsetting that it's changed. However, I love this site and want what's best for it. So, if you need to change the regen rate is what's needed to keep things optimal, then I'm for it.

Eh, even with a couple of LBPs myself, I'm fine with this. I was kind of amazed how they were floating around the site like candy anyway.

Selling an LBP slot in advance is just like how people pay-in-advance for services IRL. :/ I just thought I would mention that as I know some people think preselling slots is ridiculous and shouldn't be done. It's like a promise. :c But we'll figure a way to manage I suppose. Though I still think more artist spots should open ;3

I totally get it, it does make sense to me BUT you people really should stop doing things like that out of the freaking nowhere!
I mean really, what about people who already sold/bought slots on LBPs? You could've given an one or two months warning so that everyone could fix their slot holdings but still be able to keep the exchanges already made...
Same goes for taking it down from the SP shop... a lot of people were working to get one, but taking their time since they thought they had it... if they knew it would be taken down, I know some people would go out of their way to get the last SP in time...
All I'm saying is a fair warning would be VERY much appreciated...
Thank you

All people who prepaid people for slots should be given a lbc. This could easily be provided from the lists of prepaid people from all the users selling. Then of course after gifting those people those coins the original users do not have to refund the people who payed for the breeding at that specific time can do it technically as soon as they get it. That fixes the pre-paid problem. :|
~Ria, now if you need me i'm gonna head over to suggestions and suggest this if it hasn't been already suggested.

I don't agree with a 60 day regen rate when there's a perfectly good plan to get rid of some of the LBP's with a 2/1 trade in. As long as a cap is done on the amount of PBP's avail that way, it will still severely cut down on the queue. I think this should be one step at a time and then look at the results for a month or two and then go on to the next step.
