Right now I will be doing a bit of a stylistic update, and removing some of the outdated information from the FAQ (of which there is a lot). XD I will of course consult everyone here before making any other changes.


Congrats deja!

I'll be lurking around |D

I just thought I'd suggest something here...
Since a lot of people are asking what the precise value of the 2010 UR pets are, should we have a little announcement on the first post explaining that it's too difficult to pin-point their value at this moment? It might help the confusion (and the questions) die down a bit.

Yes, definitely. I was thinking of doing this.

Okay, so there's a few things I want to address. First, the Blue and Purple Toxics. Blue Tox needs to be moved up - I would put it either just above the Pink/Yellow Sorbets or just below. And I'm not sure when the Purple Tox was moved up, but I personally don't think it belongs above the Green Sorbet. Maybe just under it. Thoughts?

Also, on the Advent '08s List: I'd like to make from the Grey Border Collie to the Pink Heart one chunk. It'd be easier to refer people to the list if all the "Common" Advents were grouped together. The split seems rather arbitrary anyway.

Lastly, I was thinking of making a note somewhere that the gap between pets above/below each other on the list may vary. i.e. Pets right under one another may be even swaps despite being on different lines, while others might have a significant difference in value.

Blue tox definitely above pink/yellow sorbet. As far as I know, you'll have to be super lucky
to get a blue tox with a blue sorbet these days.

Dunno on the Purple one though. Seems to me it is a little overrated, but people also
tend to overrate the green sorbet just because it is the most popular sorbet.

I'll agree on the advents though. Dunno if it is just me but what I've been watching the threads,
the 08 advents all seem to be forming "value groups" with certain ones being much more
valuable and then the forgotten rest lay in a heap and people swap them back and forth without
much hesitation.


And 110% agree on the 'differences may vary' thing. Mang. I feel like having a seizure every time I see
someone going "BUT THE NONJEWEL AND SUNBACK ARE RIGHT BELOW EACHOTHER ON THE RARES
LIST SO THEY ARE WORTH ALMOST THE SAME".

Sounds good Deja. I'll give more input when I'm at home but I like your ideas. c: And Dibs, you're so right with your last point. xD I'll give you guys a meatier response when I'm not sitting on the stairs in a lecture hall on campus.

No offence to anyone, but FINALLY...

Good that I got all the pets I wanted before the big changes like the blue tox >:D ...

I'm going to sit and watch how everything gets moved up and down.

edit: I always thought that the blue toxic needs to be higher... It's VERY hard to get one.
Not to mention four.

I agree with the last point especially. I'll admit, I'm not very good with the gaps between pets and I do get confused sometimes since there's so many to remember x3 I think it would really help everyone to have some notes on that ^^
And I agree with the Purple Tox. It may be the rarest of the Toxics (last I heard anyway) but I don't think it's going for Green Sorbets these days.

I would appreciate a more extensive list of rarities. Such as the October 08 pets that aren't very rares, to me it seems like people hardly value them as rare 08's. And along with that, different year pet comparisons. Dragons for example, they are worth September 08's. What about very rare 09's like grinners and the VR PPS pups and the woodwinged dog? I feel like since they are worth more, and well sought after, that they should be listed as well.

Just some thoughts on improvements.
Thanks :]
