Site Update
The new (almost complete) PBC Panel is seeking existing and new artists to join the PBC team. The payment for PBC artists is a flat $20 for one offspring and $30 for two offspring (Life Seed).
If you are a PBC artist that had a higher rate negotiated with Vampi, don't worry, as we still have previous payment records intact. If you had a lower rate than the new flat rate, congratulations as you just got a raise. We will also be introducing new breeding add-ons that allow an artist a bonus, and the usual GCC/MDT tipping feature is available through PBC Panel.
Everyone is welcome to join the PBC team, so if you would like to apply then go ahead and do so. The new deadlines that we will be enforcing with the PBC panel is one breeding completed per two months minimum and when you claim a job, it must be completed within one month. We feel that these deadlines are fair as it allows an artist to take a month break in between breedings if desired.
We are in the process of integrating the panel with the queue. It will allow artists to claim the oldest job that they are listed as a preferred artist for. This upgrade will permit the users to select artists (and change them) whenever they want from their Standing Stones view of the breeding.
Here is the integration schedule:
1. Starting April 12 - Artists may start joining the team.
2. Starting April 16 - Players will be able to go to their PBC breedings in the Standing Stones and select their desired artists. Update your breedings as new artists are accepted throughout the week (or, you know, whenever).
2. Starting April 20 - Artists will be permitted to claim the oldest breeding that has them listed as a preferred artist. This means that no one loses their spot in the queue.
Re-working this queue over to the new PBC Panel will take a while and we expect there will be some bumps along the way, but ideally this will improve the PBC experience.

When I check my pending PBC's (I'm not an artist) I see that my notes are really old, and have requested wrong artists, since I later on changed them in the PBC changing thread. Will you add the queue after the thread? Or after notes? (Old breedings, not new requested ones)

On the 16th players will be instructed to update the artists on their PBC breedings.

J.A.K. (#15) Yes, but if you pick completely new artists, will you still be in the same queue position, so you don't have to wait many months more?

As stated in the news post, the artists will be able to claim the oldest breeding in the queue that has them listed as the artist. What matters is your submission date.

Will something similar to the GCC/MDT/PBC queue be implemented for SCC artists in the future? -Nevara

I am very excited for this new system! One question is, are you still choosing only three artists for your breeding? And what about the artist ticket I have on my current breeding, will I have to change it if the artist I chose doesn't join the new system (since it seems like she probably won't) ?

This is such a great change for the PBC team. Maybe it'll even inspire some artists to come back. -aros
