We've updated our pet rarity measurements!

[nickjr]

Yes, now they are! That is the point of it. Rare = how many of them are available, in theory. And same rarity = same availability, dates don't matter at all anymore. There is no "fewer of them exist." Never again.

Age matters not. And that's a very good thing.

I don't know what to say about the "dates matter" thing; however, let's say you've got two pets that are rare right now.

Next month, Pet1 turns VR.

The month after that, Pet2 turns VR.

So they're both VR, but Pet1 is worth more, right? It turned VR first, after all. ;P

This is incorrect. All rares are not equal..

The scale is not black and white, it is a gradient - just because two pets are rare does not mean there is the exact same number of them available. Some people hoard rares and very rares, and I know there are a few users who have multiple OMGSRs, which changes the value of the pets slightly. There is "fewer of them exist". Have the sunbacks, moonswirls and zebras suddenly been released and I am not missing it? There are no more of the rare pets now than there ever were before.

Jus sayin. If someone attempts to use that 'logic' with my sunback.....oh be scared of my wrath TnT

[shadows of stars]

Hmm...not so sure I like this new change.

I'm not sure if the answer to this has already been posted, but what's the 'threshold' for when you're considered not 'active' anymore? I've seen a couple of old users who were quitting, but didn't give out all their pets before they left, and they're just basically sitting there, when they could be of use getting dressed up or loved in an active user's account.

Just an idea/suggestion, but could you 'pull' pets from someone's account if they haven't been on for a year, and distribute them to users, on like a set day or something? That might possibly change the rarity of those pets if there are enough in active accounts afterward, yes? And if they're dreamies of someone, they'd get that pet from someone who no longer seemed to need it.

I'll get used to the new change, though.

Now I'm off to go start a trade with someone that I may or may not actually send, so that I can easily see my pets' rarities without clicking on them individually or looking through the archives.

but if pet 2 turns VR, would pet on turn OMGSR?

[Floboe]

Yes dates still matter I think the quote thing is glitching

[Im.]

... worst change ever /

No it isnt there is a more reason to overpay, yes, but now you have the TRUE raritys, as in you overpayed for your rares before.. Okay in that way it sort of is but its a great change ))

So now that none of us have any trade fodder, it's a great change -.-'

guys. this has been explained.
Just because both are rare doesnt mean its fair
the way rarity works is how many of the pets there are. so the range for a pet to be very rare could be 1000 pets available to 10000 pets, which is a huge gap for being very rare.
So say a butter wolf was very rare and so was a dog. your saying it would be fair. which could be very false
there could be 1000 of the butterwolf available and 9000 of the dog available, making the butterwolf more rare even though they are both labeled as very rare.
which means, dates, demand and other things are taken into account.
