That's true. I mean like, I donated this month because the Bone Dragons looked seriously epic and its my birthday. Then I used a bit more money for the Red Pandas, because they looked cute.Umalia wrote:But we need the donation creature to encourage users to donate. It's either that or we have ads. And no one wants ads.
From what I've noticed, we do get at least one regular release for the month.
Another thing to consider is that school is starting up soon. This is the last of the summer and I'm sure the staff would like to spend it doing more than sitting in front of a computer screen making sprites the whole time (assuming they are high school or college students).
Enough of only donation creatures!

Re: Enough of only donation creatures!
We have stuff planned, but they don't always happen on the dates we want them to. Chill out. >->' And yes, our artists have been busy lately. Various reasons. As far as I know, I've been the only one that's been active-ish daily.
So, to quote both myself and my friend, "Quit ya bitchin'". It's not nice. >:

Wyrms and minicorns were quite a while ago. At least a month. I remember when we had at least two non-DC creatures released every month. Good times. Gooood times.
yes but we should be thankful that the new creatures we are getting are much more regular than say.. Dragon cave, where you are lucky to get a mass release every couple of months or more.
I say don't bite the hand thats feeding you - it bites back sometimes...

I agree. I am so busy right now, a new major release may keel me!Rijolt wrote:We have stuff planned, but they don't always happen on the dates we want them to.

Re: Enough of only donation creatures!
I'm actually OK with it…I was offsite for quite a while and need some catching up to do in my collection. But a new egg or two in the stream would be nice…
Forgotten Unicorn Hoard: 984/1000. Fun fact, I currently own 4.48% of all Forgotten Unicorns on Magistream. Almost there!

Re: Enough of only donation creatures!
I personally think that we're perfectly fine with the amount of creatures that we already have. The artist have to make at least three creatures a month, each having three sprites (3x3=9 sprites total), just for donation pets. So they're already working pretty hard. So what if we don't have a new creature EVERY SINGLE TIME SOMEBODY WANTS A NEW ONE?
As someone once said, "you'll never be content with what you have in the future if you're not content with what you have at the moment."
