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 ~

Love all the good news so much (of course) and hope the lack of CD's help the economy a bit~ Thanks for discussing it with the userbase a bit before making a decision~ x3

I think that descriptions HTML violently died O.o because suddenly the HTML doesn't work in my pets description anymore...

Come on, why do you get rid of all the things that I actually make any of my limited amounts of GP from T_T
Now, I have no way of getting any, and not from lack of trying...

I wish there was a way I could comment without mentioning my disappointment about the CD change. There isn't. Grats to all the breeders. I'll be admiring from afar.

Sad to see CDs go, even though I understand why it's a necessary measure :/

Regarding pet HTML in descriptions... it will be fixed when pet profiles get a back end update. There were some major issues that required that to be disabled for the time being.

The bad news may suck for some people... but it is actually great news in disguise. Really, that was a good call to make. As for the good news, I love it all!

What an awesome idea to do. That will definitely help cut down on some messages. ^_^
I love the breeding change that will make it really helpful to know when they set up.

.....can we have CDs that don't have any interest rate so I can still lock my GP away so I don't spend it? xD -Brianna
