There have been a couple of significant changes to the weekly Adventure Pet system!
First of all, it's not weekly anymore. Adventure pets will be released every other week. In addition, only six pets will be released at a time. We've decided the site does not need 9 pets a week being added into Adventure. We have a lot of pets available on site, and while we want it to grow... we don't feel the need for it to grow that quickly.
Another rather large change is that the weekly bonus system is removed. There will be no more weekly "bonus" species. While the bonus species helped motivate users to submit designs of specific species, we were shelling out far too much GP overall. If we have a dire need for a specific species, we may offer a bonus for that species at that time. But it will not be a regular occurrence.
This does not effect the current Vyne, Rogr, and Lacer "bonus" incentive currently going on mentioned in this news post. If you submit a design for any of those 3 species, and have it accepted, you will get 10 GP per accepted design. On Friday August 10th at 11:59 PM AST , this bonus incentive will end, so submit your designs for these species before then!
The pet coloration submissions forum now has a sticky thread: Pet Colorations 101. This thread explains the Adventure Pet system along with answering some frequently asked questions. Please be sure to read it!
While the weekly bonus species incentive has been removed, don't forget that you can earn SP through the Pet Submissions Forum! You can also earn GP, and even earn Contributer Status. Hooray for purple posts!

I agree with everything about this post. The amount of pets being released, as well as the gp rewards, were both staggering to the point where I've thought it wasn't a very good idea for a while... so glad that you guys have also reached this conclusion, and have acted upon it. ^^ Thanks for the update! <3

I had a feeling this would be coming. I am glad to see the change. It should be much easier to keep ahead of the new additions to explore pets this way. And I always felt that 10gp was a bit steep for the bonus pets.

Glad for the slow down. I already have so many more pets I need to collect, haha. Thanks for the update.

FINALLY there is a restriction to it. I felt from the very beginningthat a weekly release was to much...

I'm very happy this was changed. I try to collect every site pet, but it's been so difficult to keep up with so many pets being released every week. It had become discouraging, so this is actually a relief. Thank you.

I am so happy to hear that the geyser of pets will slow down! 9 a week was just FAR too many!
Theres over 3k of them now, we really aren't lacking colorations to need that many shoved out to find at a time.

Ah, that's a nice update. :D Yeah, there's no more 10GP incentive, but it'll be easier for collectors to keep up with the new pets! -Semp

This should have been the change to reduce stress on the artist instead of hitting the scratchcards.
