Search Options ►Teo Adoption Drops
Site Update
Teos in the adoption center can drop either in their actual genus, or in a random genus to offset the enormous advantage that Goggle users have in finding them. They are still dropped in both ways, but there is no telling which way any particular egg or batch will be dropped.

._. I don't think they'd suspend them all because some people are grumpy about it... would they? They could've suspended to allow artists time to create some more? Or until they have a decent amount for over a period of time... Could be several reasons. But yeah. I agree with the one's who are saying... goggle users still have an advantage. Some will still show up under Teo, just... not all of 'em. Seems fair enough to me.

Apparently Teo releases are suspended due to the suspicion some people might be using bots to snatch up Teos.

Oh wow, bots? If that's the case... I am surprised I managed to get a couple of them whilst possibly going up against a computer! xD But anyway, I originally was gonna post this little explanation for some people saying that the Goggles weren't that big of an advantage: I have Goggles, and managed to get 2 Teos. They go -fast-. To get the ones I got, I literally sat and refreshed constantly, hoping there would be a release. When one showed up, if I accidentally refreshed one more time, it was gone. If I clicked to adopt, half the time they were still already adopted by someone else. And I have pretty fast internet. A page will fully load for me within a couple of seconds normally (not counting occasional lag). So, if you look at my experience - it would have been practically impossible for anyone without Goggles to adopt a Teo. It would have to like... show up front and center on the first possible refresh after having been added, and the user be quick enough to spot it, maneuver the mouse to the button and click. Meanwhile someone -with- Goggles only would see the one Teo on their page immediately without the possibility of 2000+ other pets showing instead. So, yes, the Goggles were a HUGE advantage. So I think it is completely fair that they will sometimes be released under random genuses, which gives everyone a fair chance at finding one. And they will sometimes still be released as Teos, which means Goggle users still have that huge advantage some of the time. Seems like it's good for both sides. :)

I agree with inkrealm. Goggles don't just give you an advantage with Teo eggs - there's something like 12 gazillion genuses, and Goggles let you search through all of them. It's not that big a deal.

Eh, I hope they're not suspended over a bunch of people tantruming..... :/
Honestly guys, they don't HAVE to give us in Teos at all.
Or they could have made ALL of them different species listings instead of leaving some of them as 'Teo'.
Also, the Goggles were not marketed as 'buy these for Teos', they're for all species and as said before, existed long before this special release and had a totally different purpose. Besides, since some are still marked as Teo you still have some advantage, and as said, those who can't use the goggles need a fair chance too. :/ Nobody likes a site where it's impossible to enjoy things without being premium.... which is what would happen with the goggles and the Teos....
Plus, bottom-line, it's just rude to take pitchforks to the staff, I mean, geeze guys....... they're people too.
