Artificial Rarity Change - Project

[Anayu]

Yeah, I'd love to know. Even just links to the thread, because that would help me edit my math. Thanks!

Rarity takes account activity into account. The update that brought us the OMGSC rarity also brought us our current rarity calculation system. Implemented August 2012. I can pull up more quotes and say more stuff about rarities this weekend if you're willing to wait (super busy this week) you can also search my posts if you can't wait haha

I knew inactive accounts don't effect the rarity, though I don't remember the cut off for "inactive". I would very much like to see the quotes and data though from August 2012 ^^

I did some quick digging and this is what I found:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1263606&hilit=rarity+accounts+active&start=160#p38706613

So I went to Nick's profile and searched for 'rarity'. And look what I found:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2417791&hilit=rarity&start=10#p76235466

The only real way for the rarity of pets to fall is for the number of "active players" to drop, since this is used to work out how many people are competing to collect pets. That's the number of accounts that have logged in within the last year.

And one more:

I believe this is what nickjr meant?

Yeah, thanks!

I was also thinking of this, though I didn't clearly refer to it;
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1253879&p=50740006#p50740006
and the post under that post, as well

The butterfly wolves mentioned are here, and the lions are here. (Lion numbers are from item numbers on a system account after the faire, because they were trade-in rewards, I think; I can pull up the post with that later if desired)

Those numbers are just raw numbers and we're missing the number of active users and the number of active pets, but I think the raw numbers are nice to have for comparison.

So it is possible, just it's going to be a very long project. xD;

[SabrinaB]

Yup.
And since some lock them away to prevent them being deleted it will take a very long time.
Perhaps we shold oretend this died down, lol.
Jk, we just keep looking
