Best of luck, Thornes!

I was once there myself with a massive wishlist. As awesome as it feels to knock out pages quickly, I think the stall is worse once you get to the valuable ones... I've been hovering at 11 pages for a while (until I added store pets! lol). I'm still trying to figure out the best way to trade for my WL but I've been dealing with some IRL things for almost two years now

I am not sure what will happen with a new list. There were a few peolle working on some, but all seem to have stopped doing it.
And a list should be a guide, and people always seem to consider it as a rulebook.
The list is retired and people on the ftt still give advice following the list, while it was seriously out of date. So they give advice on a list that is retired and out of date. Stop using it and start using common sense... i never got how 1 vr pet could be worth 100s of very rares. Its a game, keep it fun. Lists make it easier to see how rare something is, but its also killing the economy

My mind still explodes a little when some people try to argue that one VR pet is somehow worth thousands of other VR pets. A difference in rarity sure, but I've always found the "rarity math" to be a bunch of nonsense. :P

In other news, my obsession with rainbow malk pets has finally been completed... but I want more. Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of all the rainbow pets on CS?

Thank you! I do think it gets harder and harder the smaller your WL gets, but it wouldn't be such a challenge if it was easy! I hope you can find a way to trade for the pets you still need and I hope the things you are dealing with IRL will become better soon <3 Good luck!

Rechecking my numbers for the last time before school starts. Comparing numbers to other pet counters, sometimes I see that some people strictly go with the archives and some add little mini events, like the staff pets or the 2016 Leap Year. Or that two fish from February 2010 with Valentine colors and the release date of 2/14 are Valentine pets.

What are some pet groups or pets that you consider to be their own separate event?

Edit: With a small gift, April 2011 is complete!

I go by the archive numbers, because that's the easiest way to do when trying to check for what you have completed and what not! I think otherwise it's really easy to forget things, or put them in the wrong group, whatsoever. I haven't quite sorted my pets, yet, however, as I'm not sure if I want to do that for each species or for each month.

An update on my try for a complete collection; ever since I spoke about trying to go for this goal, a lot of my friends have stepped up and sent me some of their extras, helping me manage to cross off 1000 pets from my wishlist! It's insane that people on here can be so kind and helping and I honestly don't have enough words to thank them. Damn! I'm now at 2900 pets missing, excluding the 41 special releases pets I am also still missing (but not that much focussing on right now).

I found a nice auction for old store pets but I know I'm already beaten by a Plains Zebra lol. I did find out that I had a spare blue grinner, tho! I'm very amused

Only 4 more pps ponies to finish my collection! it's always the hardest when you're only a few away :,)

Thanks to many kind users I went from 2 spiders in my collection to 21 so far. <3 Not sure how many I have left, but the progress I've made in just one day is so uplifting. c:

Although I try to trade for true date pets, this little stinker made an exception. I payed 2.1k FR gems for her. Not sure if it was
overpay or if I got a really good deal, but I'm happy nonetheless. Gonna have to save up for another year to get the 2012 July Lioness.
