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!

Oh yay, I'm really happy about that. It seemed to be getting a little crowded :)

I do not like the pet update. The challenge was fun. Now I have no reason to get on as much, I'll have forever to get six pets. Why not release 6 pets every week? Or 9 every two weeks? It just seems to me like they're making the site less fun

Thrilled about the biweekly change! Not thrilled about the end of bonus payment! XD Looks like I'm gonna have to start charging a flat rate for my commissions, bwuuuu.

I'm really quite happy for this change. It was getting to be overwhelming having so many pets released that often lol

I like that,it was impossible to keep up with :) Its still far more than enough pets to chase after and I think thats a very understandable change :)

Aww man. I liked that GP bonus. I never got a pet accepted for it yet but, oh well :c.
The slow down of pets makes life easier. It was getting hard to keep up with all the new releases @_@;.
