Ask the Staff!

To any artist:

What is your least favorite pet you've created and why?

[ceese]

Hey does anyone know what UR means?

[myth;]

To anyone (sorry for asking so much!):

What did you guys get this year?

For the first time ever, we didn't break the record for number of users online on the 18th.. how does this make you feel?

Also, have the odds be altered this year? It seems there was a strange divide in what people got, some came away with very rares and older, and others with more recent rares. I'd love to chat about it over PM with anyone who knows. c:

To: anyone
Your the most favorite christmas movie? :)

There's so many good Christmas movies! It's hard to pick one. D: I do really like Polar Express or Christmas Carol.

To all staff:

Any plans for the holidays? I love hearing how everyone celebrates in their own way ^^

Going to open presents on Christmas Eve and then have a dinner on Christmas day! Right after we're celebrating my birthday lol.

To: Anyone

How many brothers and sisters do you have? (if any?)

To Swiftalu: Where did you get your username?

I made up my username! It originally comes from my warrior cats OC, Swiftstar leader of Lunaclan. The name got shortened/merged down. :'D

To staff with customs-
what was the most exciting thing about designing your custom?
and where are your customs from? (ex. childhood pets, ocs, random on-the-spot creation)

I was actually VERY nervous making my own custom and was almost tempted to have someone else do it for me so that a couple of years down the line I wouldn't think it was ugly due to art changes. I had probably drawn my custom a separate 4-5 times while still contemplating if I should make it. Ultimately, I decided it would hold a more special place in my heart if I made it, so I gave it another go and was much happier with it!



I'm pretty happy that I ended up making it myself now, a couple of people seemed to really like the look of it too! c:

Music originally comes from this cat I made a couple of years back. I wasn't a very good artist at the time but I really liked the creation I made and decided to keep it. I've had her since and though I know that I could easily change her design to be a lot nicer looking, I love her too much. Simplicity is everything, plus I want to encourage other to have whatever character they want.

To anyone~
If you could be a movie/TV Show/Videogame character, who would you be and why?

I wanna be a Pokemon trainer and go on my own 10 year old adventure catching creatures. 😎

anyone:
what's your favorite holiday tradition?

Probably just being together with my family and having fun, depending on where we're celebrating Christmas that year we even might have some friends over and just have a fun time doing whatever. The year I got a Wii U for Christmas we invited some childhood friends over and I kicked their butts in Smash Bros had a great time with them! :D

These are what I got! I already own the first 2 (All outcomes for the rat) but I'm glad I was able to get something I don't own! That's really all I hope for every year. o:

A little sad we didn't break the limit but always next year!

Instead of there being a hard limit (e.g. 20 sun jewels limit) it'll be a probability (so you might have a smaller chance of getting a sunjewel but you never lose the chance even if people have already adopted a bunch of them). We estimate how many people are likely to adopt and predict which pets will probably change in rarity as a result. We don't want pets to drop down in rarity too much. And for some extra rare pets we want more to be released so they're not impossible to collect. But about 95-99% of the pets in there have an equal probability of being adopted, we only have to tweak a few.

Usually the most probable outcomes are the brand new UR pets, since they would be SUPER rare if we didn't give out a bunch in their first year. It might not feel like it since URs are so rare, but when you adopt from the box you actually have about 4 - 8 times the chance of getting a new UR compared to any other outcome. That's why you sometimes see lucky people getting more than one UR at once

^ This should answer your last question.

To: anyone/everyone

Do you have any hoards with special personal meaning to you? If so, what are they, and, if you feel comfortable sharing, what makes them special to you? :0

Probably my Eli hoard, which is based on my previous IRL cat, Eli. At the time of hoarding we still had him, but about 2 years ago unfortunately while I was in college my parents lost him (My college doesn't allow pets). We're not sure what happened to him, but I miss him a lot, he was a very sweet cat! He would follow me around like a dog and was a big old gentle giant, just very frightened by anyone else that wasn't me.

To anyone I'm really curious to see custum pets and / or items could you show me some ^^ (sorry if this is asked before) (I seen someone got a rock pet from the pound at some point?) XD

To any staff:

What's your favorite part of the holidays? Mine's is giving gifts for others to enjoy! C:

[Wolf Storm]

To any staff:

How do you feel about a dog litter based on superheroes?

(like IronMan, Captain America, Black Panther, etc)

[ShadowOfTheBird]

To anyone willing to answer:

Have you ever had any interesting scar stories? I recently had to get a gastrostomy button and whenever it comes out I'll be left with a scar over my stomach, so I'm a bit curious.

[queenhoneybee]

to anyone that feels like answering;
when will you stop re-releasing uncommons on the 18th? it hasn't happened to me personally, but i have seen a few people get quite heartbroken when they see other people post about how many new URs and noncoons they've gotten. just a food for thought~
