Site Update
First up, some good news, I am still alive~ Woohoo. I was without power for almost a solid week, in sub zero temperatures, it was horrible.
But I am back and trying to catch up! My first order of business however is not so great news.
As many of you are aware of, Xaocs cannot be bred to eachother with any coin, however this was ignored for some time with Sketch Breeding Coins. After working with several artists and discussing it with staff, Xaoc x Xaoc can no longer be bred with Sketch Breeding Coins and I will be refunding any beedings that do so.
There is a strict rule that you cannot have a clone of rare genus', and breeding two of them together creates a clone in 99% of these situations.
Sorry for any inconvenience this poses!
Note: Sorry guys, I'm gonna talk to you through the news post cause there is far too many of you to ping directly. First up, thankyou everyone for your well wishes. The cats and my family are all alright now and bracing for the blizzard that is gonna shut my whole state down. Hoping to finish my work today before the brunt of it hits, if I vanish again just assume I don't have power.
Regarding the Xaoc, this is not a new rule. Xaocs have never been allowed to breed eachother with any coin unless there is an addon to change the species of the baby.
For more information you can visit This KB Article and in the bottom you will see the footnote: " Ultra Rares can only be breed together using a breeding coin IF an add-on which results in a different genus for the offspring is attached. Such add-ons include Mutagenic Ooze, Hybrid Embryo, Hybrid Genetics Kit, Unidentified Embryo, and Genus in a Bottle."
Several got through the queue beforehand, so I tried to continue this but after causing quite a bit of strife for my artists as well as myself it has been decided it isn't workable. I have had to send back Xaoc x Xaoc babies repeatedly because they were just too close to looking like a Xaoc. Several that did manage to pass before I took over end up having to go through fixes because they were still to close to being a Xaoc so they couldn't actually be created as a species.
Anybody who has their breeding refunded is welcome to contact me so we can try to resolve this situation with as little unpleasantness as possible. Upsetting people is *not* my goal, it never is.

@🎁❄Kaiyo❄⛄ (#489) - having spent quite a few days this winter under a pile of blankets with the cats, their chow, a gallon of water and a jar of peanut butter, you have my utter and total sympathy and my delight that you are in better shape.
in order to stay in business for those who do NOT (for whatever reasons) spend RL money here, the site needs income. High-ticket rares are a significant part of that. if they are devalued, and major spending falls off, we ALL suffer as the site is able to do less. from what I have seen in my years here - and they are quite a few - they also do their best to periodically make rare pets available to everyone willing to make an effort, as in the LL event. I empathise with those who tried to get Xaocs, though as it was already against the site rules and got through on a technicality, it should not have happened to begin with. some people lucked out...call it a win and move on, folks.

Lady Evelon (#58780) An example of that is right here: https://www.aywas.com/pp/view/9076111/
This pet was only bred with 1 xaoc, but the pet itself looks like a Xaoc. So it can never be made breedable.

There was never a way to breed a xaoc X xaoc together to get a xaoc "clone". Any other types of breedings that allowed the two together forced you to upload a breeding add on to choose another type of pet. Honestly surprised this wasn't a rule to begin with. o;

I don't think you should've been upset hearing this in the first place if you were deliberately trying to get a cheap Xaoc. That's a loophole and you knew it.
