Site Update
Figured I would newspost this since it's important and I have something else to report to make a valid announcement.
Raised the price of Fertility Potions from 8 to 12 GP, because there's near 1/3 of LBC breedings assigned out with them used currently, and I feel that they need a price raise to compensate with the GP in the system. They seem very easy to get and are used really often, and artists are having a hard time keeping up.
Any future price changes will be announced, but please understand the change keeps up with demand and queue load.
Scratchcard coin wins no longer give out gold Breeding Coins, only Metal Breeding Coins now. This was not to give an unfair advantage to people or anything, it was simply because BCs were meant to be a donation/rare contest privilege... and we'd like to keep it that way.
If you want to comment on this newspost I'll leave it open, but please comment appropriately and don't be disrespectful. If you only intend to rant there are appropriate forums, but if you have constructive commentary you can voice it. Nothing we admins ever do is to directly hurt users or make the game impossible, it's always to balance it and make it fair with compromising and suggestions when needed.

I mentioned this in the forums earlier, but I felt it would have been appropriate to give a warning before (both of) these changes.
I agree with Darkness as well. Sure there may be more GP in the system, but that doesn't necessarily mean that that extra GP is distributed evenly across all users. I feel that that reason is not a very good reason to raise the price.
HOWEVER, I feel that the fact that the queue is suffering because of there usage is a fair reason to raise their price. It would help move the queue along quicker, with artists not needing to make that extra baby a fertility potion allows.
As for the second issue, I will echo my post on the forums. Why could you not allow the scratchcards to give out a random breeding coin as was originally intended, but leaving out BCs and PBCs? I feel that only making them give out MBCs was a bit unnecessary.

No, i am going to comment... ok, so here's the problem basically i see a disturbing pattern... I understand the site is in Beta and that means that you are still "working out the kinks" but it feels really disheartening that whenever you see a feature that the users are using to the fullest of it's ability, in a way that makes the game worthwhile to them and a goal becomes reasonably attainable to the majority o the players it is "tweaked"
LBPs, tweaked, Pendants of all varieties *tweaked*, MPTs in explore *tweaked*, gold star charms now that they work are gone from adventure, they were in the fields... fertility potions *tweaked* ... it seems like it isnt a problem when only a few users have the hang of things, but when any number of us catch up and are just learning/able to make use of it ... it is then deemed in need of tweaking.
I just feel that for a great many goals the closer one comes to being on target with them, then it will be *tweaked* again...

Well... there goes my chance to get any BC again... unless someway I'll have 'funds' to do so... as it is with so many others. :( Fert Potions... great, there goes price rises in buying customs now and cost for breeding... sounds like just trying to get more money out of an item that Breeding artist are being paid anyways for doing. Oh well...

Helmy, I thought Aywas was no longer in Beta?

If a huge amount of something is going into the system, obviously it means that people can easily afford it. If it becomes overwhelming, price hikes make it harder to obtain. And as for free things, I'm sorry you don't get a free thing that should be worked for as easily now. What happened to goals and hard work to achieve said goal?

"when any number of us catch up and are just learning/able to make use of it ... it is then deemed in need of tweaking." - the issue is that tons of people were already making use of it and there's a massive amount of fert breedings in queue. - tech

Would it be possible to make a different/cheaper fertility potion that is MBC compatible only?

Frey - Even so, a huge change is disheartening, and many newer players feel that getting 75 GP for a Breeding coin is nigh on impossible. I remember I felt that way when I first joined. In fact, I felt even getting 10 GP was impossible.

I do all my breedings pretty much with predicts so this makes me a little sad XD ~Ryu
