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 ~

Oh, boo. I really liked making like... 3GP every 3 months >_>; I'm poor, okay? But ah well. I'll eventually get more.

In my opinion good call for getting rid of the CDs. For the BP especially. The BP CD for a week was just bad news for the economy. But oh so delicious for the individual. I never really had enough GP for the GP CDs to be worth the investment. So to me this is a good good news post! xD Keep up the good work and thank you so much!

Lol, the BP CD was always a good option for hiding money from myself (and to think I started a new month long one yesterday >.< I almost did 90 days so really could be worst lol) Not to mention i'd make more exploring and playing then in interest so that really isn't an income loss. As for the GP CD- I liked earning the 1 or 2 GP a month I did but ehh if people seriously are getting back 200GP a month completely understand. Now will have to wait for the economy to settle.

I saw this coming, so I don't really miss it happening. If it didn't happen now it'd have to happen much later. It's unfortunate, but it needs to be done for the longevity of the site.

I was so excited to see if my HBC from the end of march had an artist assigned to it...but alas.. ;A;
All of the changes seem great. :) I never used CDs XD;; so I have no opinion there XD;;;;
