Pets
I didn't want to think about it, but it's really inevitable. We do it now, or we're going to do it later. Since we're in alpha, it's best to do it now.
We're getting everything recoded.
What does this mean to you? Not really anything, except that in three months (the new coder set this deadline--he's very, very experienced in optimized coding) everything will be recoded and fresh and ready to play on. He's going to import all the info so you won't lose anything. He even said he'd code the ability to put items and backgrounds on your pets =)
Everything will run as planned until we make the switch. There will be updates, new colors added, contests run, etc. We just have to make some do with the lag until the new site is coded then we can all migrate over there and be happy. I'm still gonna move this version of the site (v1) over to the new server so we should be experiencing some speed pick ups but nothing compared to what we'll have with fully, completely optimized coding from the ground up. =)
I needn't say this is expensive. Due to this I have put a shitton of cool items in the cash shop. Support the recode! (and the 200/month server bill)
I'm also going to have coded an item that will hatch your eggs immediately =) Upgrades will also be coming soon. If you have any suggestions for items that can go in the cash shop so we can raise the money for the recode (even if they're ideas and not in existence!), let me know!
I'm really looking forward to putting a Titbird on my pets!

Personally, I think that having pets like Oceandark and other rare/super rare pets in the cash shop even it out now. :/ Especially since the chance of catching pets has been reduced from 50% to 10%. And I've seen Gender Potions before in the Magic Shop, so I don't think that they're being made "GP only."
Also, I'm pretty much in the minority here but I actually liked the idea of being able to put backgrounds on pets. Idk.
I do have a question though -- how are the values for the items in the cash shop determined?

I think I'd rather have aywas up, so sacrificing the rarity of some pets seems like a worthy exchange. there is always new breeds in the future to be rare.
Like bone said, it's already super hard to catch a pet compared to before, so it does kinda even it out.

Hurrah for code rewrite. Don\'t care about backgrounds but I do enjoy putting some items on my pets, especially the ones I use often. I\'m so glad to hear we\'ll get to keep everything and sounds the rewrite is making the game even better.

Even though I can\'t afford to support the site until I can afford to support myself, I am all for this. I realize that this may devalue or inflate or ruin the pre-established prices of some items, but let\'s keep in mind this is Alpha and not public. None of our prices will be set in stone once it goes out free. If this helps aywas, I\'m all for it.

Omg, Slash. ;__;
You have to be the best site owner ever. I've never once seen or heard about a petsite owner EVER following the suggestions of its users.
It really makes me feel like I'm part of a community... ;___________;
Thank you for making me feel so special. xD
If I get the money, I'll be getting the titbird.
