An auction house like in many mmos. You put up a creature for a certain amount, someone checks certain criteria, finds the creature and buys it instantly. No wait times. I totally haven't waited over a week for a trade to complete. Maybe also add a way of requesting certain creatures or items like in GW2.

The ability to add a description of your creature. A certain dragon website has this feature and to keep things from devolving your description must be read and either rejected or accepted by multiple people. Perhaps proofreading and voting could be a new way of earning gold or passing out new creatures.

More alts. Instead of just having a white direwolf as an alt there could be black or ginger; maybe even an incredibly rare grey variant.

Super far-fetched idea; mutations. A 1st gen+ creature born with a mutation that allows it to breed with a species it normally wouldn't be able to. That would be pretty sick to breed a manticore that mutated bird wings allowing it to breed with gryphons. I am a sucker for highly varied lineages.

Speaking of; the ability to limit what breeds go into your lineage. For example; it's kind of a bummer to make a purely manticore family, pass out 1st gens to people only to find out out of the people you trusted started breeding chimera into it.

I really don't think Doni eggs should count towards your egg total. Like we're paying actual money for them, just give us the extra slots for them. you shouldn't be limited to how many Doni you can buy.

I don’t know if this is in the works currently or not, but being able to sort creatures on mobile would be super helpful, as I have learned it does not work for me on Safari since I lost access to wifi for a while due to the winter storms.
Also, when I zoom in to see better when embedding creature codes it does not allow me to select a creature until I zoom back out again to the normal view if that makes any sense. This is a bit of an issue on mobile as the pixel art is already small and on a phone screen the resolution is even smaller so being able to zoom in while embedding would also be highly useful and appreciated. Thank you for reading.
Thank you for any gifts & clicks! :bounce:

Would love some better mobile support. Constantly zooming in and out gets tiresome after a while.
Using percentages in the margins and padding instead of fixed numbers would already keep a lot of the site proportional. I don't know how that would work with big signatures though.
Making it mobile-friendly also makes the site score better in the SEO, meaning more players and revenue.

@loviebeest, I agree more mobil support would be nice. I visit the site primarily mobile and have for the last 8 years or so. There have been some concessions made (the mobile version of the map).

Regarding signatures, I recommend turning them off in your profile settings. It makes reading posts much easier on mobile.

Better mobile support is something that's been on the planner for a while now and will most likely come at some point. Some other features are taking precedence over that, at the moment, though, as the site and almost all features do work with a mobile devices even if it's a bit more tedious, and we want to roll out a few other improvements first. :italian:

I like the current achievements, but they aren't very process-oriented. Most of them are just "get _ many of _ creature," or "do _ thing _ many times." Maybe more achievements that are focused on a collection? For example, "have all the Gemston Kirin," or "all the 20__ donation creatures," or "one m/f of each Artificer Shop creature?" Or based on place of origin (i.e. Arkene), alt forms (ex. frozen rotations), season's limited, etc.
Please help my children grow! I return clicks! :wave:

I would suggest more advanced custom sort options.
Currently there is "Default Sort" which appears to group creature types together, and the "Custom Sort" which allows you to drag creatures around. Personally, I drag eggs to the top of my main tab to make finding them easier, but it would be convenient to have a button that does this automatically.
Here are a few other potential sorting methods:

Alphabetical - Name: Sort creatures in a tab alphabetically by their given name, with ascending and descending options.
Alphabetical - Species: Sort creatures in a tab alphabetically by species name, with ascending and descending options.
Alphabetical - Species Group: Sort creatures in a tab alphabetically by grouped species name, with ascending and descending options. In this case, "Black Winged Cat" and "White Winged Cat" would both be in the W section based off of "Winged Cat".
Creature Type: Sort creatures in a tab based on species type metadata, such as dragon, cat, bird, dog, lizard, fish, etc.
Age: Sort creatures in a tab by birthday, with ascending and descending options.
Color: Sort creatures in a tab by primary color metadata, if any exists.
Stage: Sort creatures in a tab by their stage (egg, hatchling, adult), with ascending and descending options.
Progress: Sort creatures in a tab by their progress to the next stage, with ascending and descending options.
Stage and Progress: Sort creatures in a tab by their stage (egg, hatchling, adult) and further sort by progress within each stage, with ascending and descending options.
Acquisition Type: Sort creatures in a tab by whether the egg was acquired via quest, stream, shop, or donation shop.

More ways to sort creatures is already on the accepted suggestions list, and thus will be implemented at some point. ^_^

The upcoming additional ways to sort won't cover all of the cases which you mention, though, since not all of that kind of information exists for creatures.
