Do another pound event

I think it needs to be stated that people online does not equal accounts. When the 200k event happened, there were 275 accounts. the "total members" at the bottom of the page likely does not include deleted accounts as we have over 1 million accounts with around 500k members. There hasn't been much of a change in non-deleted accounts in the past 5 years. I don't think a pound event will help activity.

I really liked the event and would love another one, but I agree that it would likely clear out the pets in the pound/items too quickly and be limited to a small amount of players who were prepared and fast.

In order to run this event you'd need to get a lot more pets/items in the pound. To do this you do need people to willingly donate their pets, which not everyone will want to do.

However, if you look in the free adoptions there are many players who have their own adoption center/pounds open, all of which run on donations. Clearly there is an influx of people willing to donate their pets, and people wishing to get them, it just appears that this is not always in the official pound. I don't know why people run these separate pounds as opposed to using the official pound, it would be very interesting to find out, as that may hold some answers for being able to set up another pound event.

An alternative could be a two-part event: some form of donation spree, followed by a larger pound opening. A lot of thinking would need to be done to ensure both that the event could feasibly run, and that people wouldn't abuse the system. I'm not entirely sure how it would work, but it may be worth putting the idea to the team to think on.

If we want another pound event then we should work on donating more pets to the pound imo. The numbers aren't nearly as high as they used to be. I like to donate to the pound when I can because it contributes to everyone getting to adopt a little more frequently. Anyone up for starting a donation spree? :P

I really like this idea! I think maybe we could have an event like this that kicks off some kind of new changes to the Pound in general. I know lots of people are discussing possible improvements.

CS is nearly at 395 millionth pet ID.
An event at 400 million would be cool.

i REALLY like the pound donation drive idea.

maybe special pets for the amount of pets / rarity of pets donated, like events with tokens? think of like neopets charity corner.
