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!

No, no, I understand /why/ they were removed perfectly well. I'm not really pissed off that this has happened, more... mildly annoyed? xD But I know it's a lot of work that they have to do, especially with Fert. Potions added into the mix. It's not like I could afford a HLBC right now anyway, so it just means I'll have to wait to get a lot more Gp/Bp before I can do any breedings with any of my customs. I'd rather the breedings be sped up, too, and the load on the artists be lessened, though...

*sigh* I wanted to buy a whole lot of them soon... but alas, at the same time I understand the reason behind that decision. If removing the HLBC is what it takes to remove some pressure from the breeding artists, then I'm glad you did it, because in the long run everyone will profit from a less clogged queue (and there's still the LBC for my future breeding plans after all).

Just do [w]GP [h]BP shops. It'll be hard /right now/ because it's BC season, but wait a week or two and you'll be fine. Just trade around and you'll have no issues, guys.
Also I support this, since I understand the reasoning.

-did not mean to sound rude. Did not think I was.. all I said was it was unfair/page 5/ but gave suggestions/page 6-
Its just I get up and what has become one of my fav things on the site is taken away from me.. :( I only recently started being able to get more then just a bit gp and I know a lot of people out there, from my premade post, have difficulty right now getting gp(they are glad I accept bp) Yes I know you can buy it.. but some people and newer people still have trouble. ;.; and breeding is such a major part of the site.
As I said, Fertility Potions cause to much extra work. I'm glad I only used them twice, kinda wish I had not one of those times(the other time its for someone else so I can't be sorry about that)
And a few of my matings? I never ever would of submitted, but at the time I did so I did not understand there was problems with old x new melos. I would of gladly revoked them (long as I got my coin back) if given the chance to ease up on things but that option of course never came up. It prob would be to hard to implement anyways. I also made a mistake with a coin thats gonna get rejected.. I did not mean to but no way to call that back either.
And yes waiting sucks, but its natural to wait for offspring. They do great getting metals back so you have something for the wait for half a lesswr and lesser and stuff like that.
And the Egg nog prob choked the system up as well a bit. (only has one of those) ^^'
And.. and I hope they think about selling the half a breedings back, just as I said, maybe make it quarterly like the breeding coins and maybe say since they cost 1.5mill (1,350,000 actually) you can't use fertility potions on them. That way people are not using them LIKE the Lessers.

I understand why the HLBC was pulled but I do think it would have been nice to have a little heads up about it being retired. :c

Thank you for the news post, this is good to know. :3 I think it's a good and needed move. I was always a little confused when the coin originally came out in the first place.

Thanks, Frey. Warning, like everyone said, would have been nice, but this should hopefully help!

Darn. D: Guess I'll have to make two more predicts and a lot more GP to do that breeding I was going to. :<
I can't honestly say I blame you, though; they were very, very popular. >.< Any idea on when they'll be coming back?
Posted on: Tue Apr 5, 2011 2:45pm
It's understandable. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do! <3 I think I prefer MBCs and LBCs anyhow.
