We've been going over some ideas for the Bazaar and have decided to get some feedback from members before proceeding. Any new changes would not effect the sets, Ancients or Glassworks that we periodically release.

These ideas are to help us raise money to better the site with new interactive locations, art and features.

The Poll will remain open until 11:59 EST August 31st.

Please vote on the listed option that you would rather see implemented. You may choose up to 2 options each.
___________
Option 1: Release a brand new special pet that can only be found in the Bazaar. This pet would cost 200-250 Baubles but be available for 6 months. This will allow for members to save up while keeping the rarity high.

Option 2: Release a brand new special pet species with several colorations that can only be found in the Bazaar. They would cost 30 Baubles each and would most likely cycle out every 2-3 months.

Option 3: We release the Stone of Random ('Random' is a picky Ancient that loves chaos and trouble, more on him later). This stone would be a permanent addition to the Bazaar. For a flat 50 Bauble fee you can touch the stone to have a chance at owning a retired Bazaar/retired special release pet (ex: birthday pets, Galaxy Ancient). But this stone has a catch for being able to gain such a pet at a low cost; While you may be able capture an elusive retired Bazaar/Special Release, you may also capture a common monthly release. This release could be current or from past months.

We understand that many may not like any of these and that's ok. We wanted to open up some new options to donators and supporters of this site.

Please no arguing. We only want to gauge interest in the options listed.

While chatting with a few others, I came up with an interesting idea. Not sure if you would like to consider it or not, but I figured I would post it regardless. This concerns the last option.

Three different levels of stones. First one costs ~20 baubles and has an incredibly, incredibly low chance of a rare pet, and high chance of monthly commons and uncommons. Second stone costs ~45 baubles and has a slightly higher chance of a rare/ultra rare pet from 2013, still with a moderate to high chance of commons and uncommons. Lastly one that costs ~70 baubles and has a somewhat decent chance of a rare/ultra rare 2013.

Prices would of course be adjusted as you saw fit.

Thank you for the feedback!

Yes, anything else we add to the Bazaar would be extra. We will still release Bazaar pets like we always do regardless of what we decide to implement.

Option 2 would be introducing a new species only available in the Bazaar that would release bi-monthly.

This is a really good idea! I'll talk to Benathorn about it. If we get positive feedback on the stone then we will certainly consider it. (:

Adding on to the suggestions... Also from chatting with others. As far as the stone item idea, maybe have it as an on/off thing? Silver also mentioned it as a limited amount every day or available a short time once a week. Sort of a stocking item? Have everyone fight for the supply, ;D and if it's just permanent we may not rush to get them right away or the excitement to get one will die off too soon? ^^;

It's a good idea! How we will release it and when are still up for debate. For now, we're just trying to figure out if there are a good amount of members who would want something like that to have a shot at retired pets.
