perhaps paying for a random pound grab once a week or 4x for the month (so you can do them all at once or spread them out), so you’d get a random pet from the entirety of the pound’s collection!

Something like an additional Dec 18th box that contains a single randomized old store pet, but can only be opened by spending C$.


This gave me a thought, instead of re-releasing old store pets [or the box could include it], why not a rerelease box that's available year round? or potentially available for the month of the CS Birthday event that could be bought with c$. Not only would this help with more interest in c$ but it could also help with trading and being to achieve more pets without having to wait an entire year. it would be nice to maybe have some small HTML- based games where this could come into play too, maybe winning a rerelease or a whole new pet as a prize? I'm just typic out random thoughts so bear with me :D

Wow there is a lot to read through! You guys have so many ideas. I did not expect to see this many responses.

I just wanted to respond to this one real quick. I think a concern about having year around rereleases would be how it would impact rarity. If that many old rares+ were put into the game again on a regular basis pretty soon they wouldn’t have much value.
But I do like the idea of having an extra rerelease available for c$ on the CS birthday. I have no idea how something like that would be priced but it is a good idea.

Yep that makes sense and I figured that would happen. I just think it would be better if they were obtainable more than just once a year.

Maybe it could be a holiday based thing? So the box is available in the store during holidays (advent, CS birthday, etc) but with an adoption limit of 1? So people could potentially get a few throughout the year, but as you would have to pay C$ to open it and there's an adoption limit of 1 then it hopefully wouldn't make any massive impact?

Support !
I think itd be nice to have more items to buy for sure. Since new store pets are every other month, maybe new limited store items could be added every other month too?
So for example
Jan - item set a
Feb - pet set a (+ item set a)
Mar - item set b (+pet set a)
Etc
So there's something new each month, even if its only one or two items?

Maybe new user starter packs(older users could still get them too)? Limit one per person potentially contains items or pets, to trade and get you started

Oooh I like that idea! It's a tricky one though because I feel they have the Pound and let people run their own adoption centres and run giveaways for that reason. Plus with that, you might have people creating new accounts, sending a bit of C$ over and then sending the pets back to their main account. Maybe a Pound Pass would be a good solution? Have a pass you can purchase that cuts the wait time down from 3 hours to 1 hour for a week/month/however long. That way people can adopt older pets more frequently, but they can't just jump in and take more pets at the start and make it harder for everyone else to get what they want. New users could maybe get it for free for their first month?

the 3 hours to 1 hour wouldn’t really work unless the pound opened once each hour, so again, my thought is just a limited amount of randomized pound grabs
