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 ~

Wow!! Wonderful news!! Particularly love the custom cancel, now we won't have to harass poor Skitty with our mistakes.

So happy about this. :3 CDs, well, I've been too poor to use them for a while, so whatever xD

No more CDs? A LOT of us (myself included), use our CD interest strictly to help fund games at other sites.
This detriment will be the nails in the coffin, I think. =(

that sounds awesome (breeding stuff); I can hardly wait.

Does this mean if we see a result we don't like in the breeding and cancel it, we get the coins, etc back? Or does it just mean it's gone? (Just curious). Thanks!

@Pixie- It applies to cancelling submitted customs, not breedings. So you can cancel one of your submitted customs, but you can't see your bred babies ahead of time and deny them if you don't like the result.

I don't see the bad in any of that. Other than having on pet's page coding broken for a bit anyway. :P

You have no idea how excited I am about this. Also- sad to see CD's go, but it does make sense.

I guess my question is why not limit the amount of GP CD's we can have along side capping how much we can invest in them like we did with the BP cd's?

I so agree with this.
