i wish to suggest that time-limited event pets, like coppers creatures, will count towards the achievement. "level up x pets to level 40". the logic is:
if i buy a pet, and level it up to 40, and then i release it. game remembers, right?
what if i level that one up to 40, and game will take it in 2 days. why won't it remember, as if i released that pet?

Relative newbie here. Concerning eggs:
1. I have way more than I will ever be able to hatch. What can I do with them other than hatch?

2. I get that the color of the egg follows the white, green, up to purple scheme. But is there a way to know what effect the hatched critter will have (i.e., quest pieces, fruit, etc.)?

Specialty Pets and Mounts (from the Creature Collector and special events) are very hard to find again even during the Pet/Mount sales. Regular Event pets/Mounts are typically available during the events they're linked to. I can't help but feel that it would be nice if those Specialty Pets/Mounts could be offered on like Amicus Island or even somewhere in the Commons. But, this is just me sharing ideas that I don't remember if I already made mention of or not.

On another note, though, will the snow blocks from last Christmas Event be available for further purchase to stack on top of each other in "Ye Olde Furniture Shoppe" or something?

@ ikini: If you know what's inside the egg, you can look up what possible bonuses it has via PAGAS under the question of "I'd Like To Check My Pets Progress". You can also check how many unique pets you have in total and collect the rewards by clicking on the pictured item in the box. As you scroll through the pets, when you come across one that you haven't hatched yet, hover your cursor over that creature to see what it's possible bonuses (three possibilities per each available; it's kind of a roll of the dice as to what you'll get) are.

How do I "Favorite" items/pets/mounts, etc.? Right now everything shows up in the Favorites tab.

There should be a star that u can click beside pet/mount to make it a primary favorite.

@ikini: For favorites, look for the star next to the word Filter at the top of the pet, mount, mask, etc. screens, click the star and a blank star will appear beside all items, pets, mounts. Then select your favorites by click on the stars next to your desired items; this will turn the white stars yellow. When done, re-click the star at the top of the screen and all favorites will be show first.

A few more concepts/ideas: Generic Arches like those at the end of each area where you must solve a puzzle to get the key. I think a customization item like that would be a bit more useful than the Port Blackwood one.

Also, has Georgia ever considered, for a lack of a better description, cavepeople pets? I know there's a chef, a couple of elves, and a few developer pets, all of which, along with my island, inspired me of the idea.

Just more suggestions and ideas I thought to share.

I'm pretty sure Nick meant to say the Q & A is to be Monday January 16th, not Monday January 17th, because today is Monday, January 16th.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for the 100% Holiday Rubber Duckies reward set for 2023! Very cute!!!
However, you mentioned the duck pond, will be released later this year! Do you have a tentative date?

I for one, really hope that the pond will be released before too long so we have a place to put our beloved duckies as we earn them. I'm thinking back to the 2016 mosaic rewards, where we received the Mosaic Base along with our first Mosaic piece in January for Nate's Birthday Event.

The different here is in ownership. You own every pet you release, but you do not own the limited time pets.

That being said, I appreciate the feedback and will take it into consideration for future updates.

1) We're considering adding ways to use extra pet eggs in a future update.

2) Many of the generation pets will have a bonus the can change from day-to-day (it will stick when you hatch/buy one though). That being said, I can see the utility in being able to see what bonus a pet would have when looking through your eggs. I'll note it down to consider for a future update!

In the meantime, as TheCatWhispurrer mentions, you can look up the pet's name in the Pet Progress popup, accessibly by talking to the PAGAS rep in the Commons just below Misty.

I hear that. Adding more options to get your favourite pets/mounts is a feature we're considering for a future update, potentially the Zoo!

You should already be able to buy more than one Snow Block, but last I recall there is an issue with stacking them. I'll hopefully have that fixed in a future update.

Heyo Nick! Here's my suggestion: I'd love to see the Stone and Wood Bricks you can buy from Amicus Isle be made available to buy and use on the mini-golf courses! I have a castle area on mine and think the Stone Bricks would look wonderful for the walls!

On the topic of suggestions for more ways to deal with unwanted Pet eggs, while I know it likely might be a bit complicated to implement and I completely understand if it can't be done, maybe we could gift or trade unwanted eggs with other players? I think Pet eggs could make for great in-game gifts to give to other players!
