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.

Will there be a page for us to see who the new PBC artists are? I don't currently have a PBC, but I will likely buy another one next December and I appreciate being able to check the GCC/MDT/PBC teams before deciding whether or not to purchase the appropriate item.

What happens to the breedings that are in queue already but only have one or two active artists.
I have one breeding in queue with only two active artists because one quit or went on hiatus between submitting the breeding and now. I specifically chose to leave only those two, because I much rather have them than any other artist on the list at the time Vampi pinged us to notify we could pick a different artist :S Will we be forced to choose a third artist this way?
Also, will there still be some indication of waiting times/how many breedings are in queue before yours with the artists you picked, like with the pbc status thread now? For some breeding I'd just like to have them back within some 3 months and then it would be nice to be able to check whether that would be possible with the artists I chose or if they still hav 40+ breedings to finish or so :P

J.A.K. (#15) I do have a question though about the queue and termination. Say for example me, I don't have huge lists so if i go through my entire queue of breedings and don't have one for a while and the deadline passes will i be removed from the team? (like on GCC or MDT)

So by "Everyone is welcome to join," does this mean we can join even if we're not up to the regular quality standards? Because I'd love to just do jokey scribble pet babies for everyone with 90+ gp to blow on jokey scribble pet babies.

Thanks for listening to the userbase about PBCs. I have some sitting around, but wasn't really sure what to do with them due to the long waits. Now I've definitely got a renewed interest since it sounds like it's going to be much easier.
