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!

so glad to see that there won't be 9 new colorations every week. it was jsut getting too much and bogging the servers and it was becoming near impossible to create comletely original pet colorations that didn't look way too similar to other pets.

I'd also like to see more Ara breeds go into these releases. I think Ay needs a break. ^_^;

Lol, I'm actually sad for both changes. There is never enough pets for me to catch now.

@Red_77: When I started, there weren't regular releases, and we did get a bit of GP per coloration, but nothing like what has been available recently. There weren't even monthly coloration contests yet, and certainly no site events for which they requested colorations. All in all, the art opportunities were far less lucrative, as far as site pets were concerned. But honestly, if you're really good, you can still earn a goodly amount of GP, if you keep submitting site colorations and throw in monthly contest entries regularly. And, if you're that good at colorations, then selling customs is also an option. Ultimately, the site doesn't owe anyone an EASY way to make "decent" (whatever your definition of decent is...) GP, which was intended to be a USD currency. I'm just delighted with everything about this announcement.

@Naon: Site pet submissions are not done by the breeding team, they are submitted by regular users; it has nothing to do with the scratchcards.
I like this change. It might even get me to actually attempt designs once in a while since there's not such a rush for pets now.
