All the rainbow manes that were once Very Rare have gone down to rare, except the actual rainbow mane of course. I was sure there was at least a couple left but I forgot which ones..




Im pretty sure this lion used to be common. Now it's Very Common.


This is all indeed very strange.


Edit; All these rats went from rare to uncommon




Also, these halloween pets:

For those of you who are curious/confused/frustrated, Nick was kind enough to explain why this is happening. Turns out those pets were never really that rare to begin with! The rarities were just inflated by a surge of spam accounts, and are now settling back into their true values.

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. In 2013, we had a huge number of accounts sign up and then not do anything in May, June and July (possibly caused by spambots, about 2-3x as many as normal). So when the rarities were updated in the last couple of months, the number of new people who had joined the site in those months this year was about 50% less than the number of accounts that had gone inactive in those months in the previous year, so the count of the number of "active players" over the past 12 months fell for three months in a row. This meant that the "rarity" displayed on all pets fell slightly in those months.

Could any of this be an error? The pound has been broken for hours.

[delani]

Alright, I searched and didn't come up with anything, so sorry if any of these are repeats >.<'
Dappled PPS went from rare --> uncommon, as well as this malk horse and '09 dog ;n;



Still searching through the groups and posts to try to get no repeats =P

[Shera]

I think no-one has pointed this yet

Rare -> Uncommon

[Hyrule]

D:

Oh no.
My first Omg So Rare pet went Very Rare. ;n;

Sad.
</3

There also goes a quarter of my trade fodder. /:
I also paid 400K for my White Feb via off-site FR.
Demand and rarity was included in that offer, plus a little extra since I didn't buy much on FR and was desperate for the White Feb.
At that time though, that amount of treasure was worth a Target Dog.
Kinda feel ripped off now, but I guess it's alright. xP


Anyone know why this is happening?
It just can't be old accounts re-activating.
The event is now over, and the amount of people that logged in during and after the event is a huge difference in numbers.
