After the Cuo raffle thing; it made a lot of people realise.. its just so risky.

Anything can happen to the user, to the pet, etc.

I was thinking of a raffle house similar to the Auction house. (Although with filters so you can search for what you want or even a specific pet)

 

How this would work:

You put the pet and or item in the raffle house,  number of tickets you are going to sell; end date if you don't sell that many. (Max date?)

How much each ticket is.

If you want just tu or will take items or pets. (number that you want to sell for each)

The pets and the items would be averaged out form the prices in the shops. (for example each ticket was 10k. You gave a Natural Colored Jelly Bean;that would be about 350 tickets)

 Users select the number of tickets for tu and what number it'll be. 

It is randomly selected.

Lucky person gets the pet.

If the user gets frozen (the pet is removed and everything is refunded?) (The pet goes to the winner?)

 Basically its just like an auction house, just the turn out is random based on the ammount of tickets everyone buys.

 

And the something else; there is an item that freezes pets at an age, that changes colours and to rename pets.
Why not one that randomly changes species? It would remain the colour that the pet already is? Or go Natural? Based on the numbers of being able to find said pet? So Zennirix 20% and seasonals are 0.1%?of being able to change into said species.

This would be a cash shop item, of course. Maybe limited like the rray? Or a limit to 1 per person until the next time if limited? Or a random number? (Like say 100?)
That way it keeps pet prices balanced out and not go too hawire.And if limited.. maybe released once a yearor to every three years?

 

There are ... just ideas. :( *Dodges into a bunker for suggestiong the species thing*

I think the raffle thing is a good idea, but I think it would be really hard to set up pet and item values for it.  I think that it should only be tu, and if a person wants to buy tickets with items, they contact the owned of the raffle, and they trade how much tu the amount of tickets would be and the pet/item they offered for the raffle.

and as for the other idea, I support!  I think it should be a once use item though, like beans.  I don't think it would really make pets decrease in value though, beacuse (If there was an equal chance of getting each pet, despite it being seasonal or not)  That's still a 1/40 chance of getting the pet you want.  So, it could take over 40 of the item to get the pet that you want.  if they're priced the same as beans, that would be a LOT of tu.

I support both ideas.  ^^

I like the raffle house idea. I mean, it's not really necessary, we could go without it, but I like it. It would give the less funded users a chance- if they can't participate in demanding auctions since they don't have enough tu, they might be able to purchase a few tickets for a raffle.

The species-switching item is also an interesting thought. The only problem with it is that it would probably have to become a natural no matter what it was before; what if it turned into a CS pet, and it was silver? Or it becomes a Veram when it was originally Lime-coloured? It just wouldn't work.
It's actually a good idea, in my opinion, because the chances of it becoming a CS pet aren't high anyways. So it wouldn't completely devalue the CS pets. Not for a while, anyways.
Plus I just love randomizer items. x3

Support both.

Support for both <3 *inucling*

But Makah. xD CS creatu won't ever have all the colours. If this item doesn't turn pets into CS pets at all, it might work.
Unless of course you want a broken image pet. o3o It happened with MP's, lol.

I don't think that the item would make pets turn into CS pets, because that would be kind of... idk, weird in my opinion.  And, perhaps a user could only use it on the natural colors of pets?

Dust - We should not have to worry about the creatu being silver and turning CS. They could be sort of like beans. You can't use NC beans on CS, so maybe there should be 0% chance of the pet turning CS.

I agree with Dust and Chezz.

Or if it does CS, it goes natural.

Maybe uhm, it'll go natural if it that colour isn't available?
(though if its an albino zenn and changed into an iluvu, it might be a bit too simple.)

 

Maybemaybemaybe a .0000000000000000000000001% chance of getting a CS pet?

A raffle system is being considered.

At first I am put off at the idea of any kind of pet species switcher...but if it went random with pet and color there might be enough varability to seriously consider this feature.

"but if it went random with pet and color there might be enough varability to seriously consider this feature."

So for example; I morph a Cream Gondra and I got a blonde Iluvu?

Did I read that right?
Although, if the colour changes to something random wouldn't that be a bit like a "lab ray?"

 Be it random colour or no or CS pet or no (though the rare yet still possible but still incredibly rare would be kind of nice) I'd still love this possibility.

It should be random for species and colour 0: So there won't be a problem about getting a Sepia Omni or something. And it should only be natural colours. Seasonal pets should have a 0.9% possibility and CS a 0.1% or lower.

 

Edit: AND. It would be nice if it wasn't a one-use item, but an item with a limited amount of uses, or that expires after, I dunno, a month or so after you buy it. And you can only use it every certain amount of time. Every 12hs? Once a day?

If this feature was implemented it would be very hard to achive AND would never reward a CS pet.

CS pets are special in that they can only be achived by support of the site (even buying credits with tu show's you play the site a lot and that is support). CS pets need to maintain their rarity and status and should not ever be made a 'freebie' even by random chance. /my opinion and not neccesarily that of admin (but probably)

Well I'm not really sure what my opinion on that is. Because it would be nice to get a chance for a CS pet (maybe only the active ones and not the retired because they're... well, retired?). But that's true, CS pets are special :c

Though since this would be a CS item, then you are in some way showing support in there. Because you'd have to spend credits to get the item and a chance for a CS creatu, even if super ultra mega slim.

My thoughts exactly.

I don't see the problem with the super mega slim chance of getting a CS pet with a CS item.

I can see the problem with the NCJB ONLY because there are only two natural colours available.

But if it is a random colour than that wouldn't rule our a black kioka/albino omni, yeah?
(If the CS thing is made available.)

But for example:

Lets say for arguments sake; you morphed a natural Zennirix.
to avoid the evil broken image of doom, it would only turn into a species/colour combo that exists.
I'll take a reference from Neo; you zap a cybunny, it can't change into garlic or alien, right?

So in that sense it would be the same?

They can only get morphed into an already existing species-colour combo, yes yes.

I still don't think that it should have more than one use.  I do like the idea, but I can't support it being a more than one use item.  I'm sorry.

Chezz: I'd only support it if it was limited like the rray.
if its not limited, then well... one use.

I've never used the rray, but from what I've seen, the rray isn't limited.  Is it?
