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.

Bcs were in scratch cards? Well, that's interesting to know. :c----- Fertility price was upped by 4 gp, which is about enough for predicts for the lbc/mbc coins. Makes sense, for the increase in queue, but waiting for babies is usually the most easiest part of breeding.. Anyway, but of course if we have more games that increases BP the GP would rise in price, because more people would want it, And t be back to 500k again. Its still fighting between the 350k-400k range. And as it is the only way to make a successful GP income these days is anything art related. Coding profiles and the like is ok, but it isn't as in demand. I am a fan of fert. potions, but if the price is gonna jump its gonna jump. Not like I can do anything about it. -derpy opinion, but whatever-

*laughs awkwardly* I've never won a breeding coin from the scratchcards and now my chance is gone.
Aren't MBCs really backed up too, though? Also Fert Potions cost around the same as a MBC now... :Ua

I got a BC from the scratchcards once, it was very exciting! I'm kind of bummed about the change to MBC for all cards, especially considering it's fairly rare to win even with MM cards. Would love to see some sort of variety--LBC? RBC? Metals are great and I love 'em, but it would be a lot more exciting if there was the chance of other things. I don't know much about it, but maybe it would spread out the queues instead of adding all scratchcard wins to the metal queue?

I just read the comments from others. I think the idea for random coin win from the scratchcards is good. So it won't be just MBCs and then the MBC queue get backed up badly and then have to adjust the price and all again. Plus random is always fun! :) (I swear it's not easy to win a BC from them as I've been trying for the past months and did not get any win.)

Frey, I am beginning to rather dislike seeing you post in the news. XD

Guess I should have bought that fertility potion I need sooner :/ I understand the price is being raised because of the increase of use and extra work load that puts on the breeding artists. But still, oh well. Just means I'll have to save longer. Tough to be the bearer of bad news, but thanks for the update Frey.

anything that might get the breeding que moving fast is good......
Random coins would be nice with a super low % on BC on scatchers lots of Derps etc.

The scratchcard did originally say random breeding coin, so instead of getting rid of entirely, maybe it could actually be random? Like maybe 75% chance for MBC, 1% for BC, and whatever else for other coins? Or any other numbers, I don't know what would work the best. Personally I don't mind this too much, but it is sad to see those who could never afford one have absolutely no chance now, so maybe instead they could have a teensy chance?

I never got a BC before and apparently I never will e.e
