Search Options ►The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Site Update
Actually I don't have any ugly to talk about. But we do have some good and some bad.
First, the bad:
- Creating new CDs has been disabled. After a lot of discussion, it seems that the income being yielded by CDs is causing a lot of detriment to the economy. You can still collect CDs that are maturing on the date that they mature as usual. It's a sad choice, but one we've had to make. We've been aware that the CDs are causing economy damage for a while, and while it will hurt to lose that income, the economy will be better as a result without GP and BP inflation.
Now, the good:
- You can now see when your breedings were assigned to a helper (breeding artist) by viewing them in the standing stones.
- You can now set your pet's breeding rules on the edit pet page, which will list them as searching for breeding mates
- You can now search for pets that are searching for breeding mates in the Search function (meaning, they have breeding rules). I think eventually we will expand this, but for now here's a simplified version of finding mates and viewing their rules.
- You can cancel your customs in your custom waiting queue if you see anything wrong with it/no longer want it, and resubmit as necessary.
- This isn't anything you can see, but two updates to the breeding panel make reviewing and handling predict submissions much less strenuous for the predicts team.
Coming up in the next hour or so:
- Being able to send people BP and GP anonymously from the Bank page. This is being worked on right now
That's all I got for you ~

Thank you! Glad to see breeding coding pages being worked on and while I'm sad to see CDs go, I understand why it's needed.

The amount of GP you'd have to invest to get any sort of sizable return... just makes me wonder how many people were even using it. I sure as heck don't have the patience for that, but you'd think 1 GP a month isn't too much to ask. ^_^;; I can't believe I won't be able to get my 50k every week though, that really sucks. :x CDs were a boon to anyone who can't spend all day, every day, playing here. But hey, on the bright side, maybe the value of BP-to-GP will go up?

With the Breeding info section, any chance coding will be enabled? i.e. so you can link to a species' thread?

The CD thing kinda makes me sad, but I can see how it could be damaging to the economy. Now the temptation for spending money will be there though, my BP is no longer safe. xD; The breeding stuff is neat. I really like how we can reject our own customs if we see a problem though. That is an excellent addition.

Oh goodness, these are all wondrous updates! I love the idea of being able to cancel a custom, since I know many of us make a ton of mistakes xD Thank you guys for your super hard work!! <3 -Angel
