Site Update
Just a quick update to let you all know that Half a Lesser Breeding Coins have been removed from all site shops until further notice. This is in response to the fact that they are overrunning the queue, and we think it's best if they're 'retired' for now.
If you still own one, you are welcome to use it but they will no longer be stocking as an item on the main site. Metal Breeding Coins are going to function as the 'BP-coin of choice' for those that want to spend BP, not GP, on coins regularly. If you need to breed normally otherwise, simply continue to use LBCs.
We're sorry for the frustration this causes, but we hope that in the long-run it'll stop the queue from building up as massively as it has.
-------
Also want to edit to say that from now on, if you have inquiries/questions about breeding stuff, or questions for me in general, send them to [email protected] instead of PMing me.
My private messages can be used for general discussion, but pertinent questions should go to the above email. Be sure to include your on-site username and user ID when emailing. The reasoning for this is that an email address will have more capability for organization and I won't lose important messages as easily (I get like 1 page of messages every 3 days). I didn't want to make a whole new news post for this, so just keep it in mind!

This is RIDICULOUS!
Now breeding is impossible for me.
That's for the warning.

(almost never ever used a fertility potion) I only used one twice and one of those was cause my partner wanted a breeding :( maybe the fertility potion should be ditched to then. x.x
I just like breeding...;.; maybe it can come back like..maybe every three or four months in the shop after things get caught up and make it .. maybe the fertility potion can't be used on it?

A warning would have been nice... I can't do any of the future breedings I had in mind now because they just won't work with MBCs .-.
Looks like I will have to start doing commissions on here .__. Here goes.
I understand that it probably caused a lot of strain on the breeding artists, but it's still a shame to see them gone so suddenly.

I agree with everyone. A warning would have only been fair to us. Also not our fault the whole breeding was not better organised.

Bye bye HLBCs! I will miss you!
I can understand why you didn't warn us xD If you had I would have like bought as many as I could carry and that would have defeated the purpose xP

I completely and whole heatedly agree with Frey on this one. It's nice to say 'oh but what about me' but if this Coin was going to bring the whole breeding system to a stop then I'd rather ditch the coin than the breeding system. I don�t have a lot of GP either, I usually exchange for mine and I just submitted my first breeding yesterday so� really.
Also, as #48 pointed out, you do not have to have real money to purchase GP. I've bought a bunch just recently by exchanging BP for GP and it usually only takes about 20 minutes worth of exploring with a Money Lighter to get enough BP for 1 GP.

Maybe you people should read the suggestion thread about WHY they were removed BEFORE getting up in arms about them being removed.
Frey put in there that there are OVER 400 HLBC BREEDINGS clogging up the system. When they were originally released, I don't think Slash and them imagined them being used as much as they were, especially coupled with the Fertility Potion(Which basically made LBCs obsolete unless you wanted to breed two hybrids).
Sure, it's an inconvenience, but I'd rather have the problem removed to clear the system then have MORE flood it. The artists work hard enough as it is, and you are all acting rather spoiled. They were removed for the good of the site.
And it's hard to integrate new breeding coins when originally they only had the BCs and LBCs, and that is what the artists were hired for. I don't think you people realize what the artists go through for YOU people, when they don't even KNOW you. They give their best to people they don't know(More than likely), and people complain about the wait. Well, with these gone, the wait will be less and hopefully the backlog worked out.
Please be considerate of the poor artists who work hard for YOU before getting up in arms.
Thank you breeding artists who spend you time making babies for us, even if we are inconsiderate of them. I appreciate the work you do even if other people don't.
If you wanna breed that bad, get GP with BP or use MBCs for now.

Yeah, I still got an offspring I haven't gotten from those coins.
But as long as I get it sometime, I do not care how long it takes. And I don't blame you either. My head would explode after a while.

I understand the need for this, as well as the fact that the fertility potions were often used with the HBLC to get two babies, so that the artists were doing the same amount of work as an LBC pairing. I'd also like to point out that it is possible to get GP without spending RL monies. ;\ It drives me crazy when I see so maybe people up in arms about having to spend RL monies to breed. .-. In my opinion, we were lucky to have the coin as a BP reduction; I just think it got out of hand.
