hi nick

following up vegan's and kiki's suggestion, there should be more water based pets and mounts,like the giant seahorse mount for royality :) (i might already suggested this tho)

actually Q: i been getting alot sugarless drinks lately, i dont like my diet lol but there should be an option about to trade sugarless drinks for valuables stuff like a quester's satchel or for various tokens, other people were also suggested this as far as i know

patiently waiting for the underwater quest hub until then

I vote on the side off NO water-based pets. I would like more insects.

Another 'no' to water based pets. And a big 'NO' to an underwater hub. The underwater areas that exist are annoying enough.

1- seeing how a few players seem to want more aquatic pets, i did some research, and came up with these few critters

- bluecheek butterfly fish - it could have an alternate version that's bright pink

- Moorish idol

- flame angelfish - it could have an alternate version that's yellow

- Fairy Basslet

- banded butterflyfish

- Blue-spotted Fantail Ray

- Manta Ray - now this one could be botha pet and mount, for it being a mount, it could have its side
flaps flap up and down like you do with the wings but slower, if possible

- Bullrout

- Stonefish

- Lionfish

- Giant Moray eel



2- Unknown days - there is special days of the calendar, which is celebrated, i found a few that could fi into some
of our mainstream events, here is some:

- May 4th - World Naked Gardening day and May 12th it is International day of Plant health, both of these could be fit into the
Spring event, here's how i envsioned it

- For World naked gardening day, we could have 2 of the judges secretly meet us in a spot, and they say they like to garden naked, and have joined a club that does it
and they need our help to find some stuff, as a reward we could get naked skin with leaf over the male bits and coconuts over the female bits

- For International day of Plant health, something to commemorate it, or even signify it


- 16th September - International day for the preservation of the Ozone Layer - could work in with the Junior whacker event, where they get a badge perhaps, and
we get something too, not just a LEP lol


- November 19th World Toilet Day - could work into Thanksgiving day, or even a community event where we have to find toilet paper, bits of porcelain,




3- Insect pet ideas

- Praying mantis
- Centipede
- Giant Hercules Beetle
- Dung beetle that actual rolls some dung
- Pill bug, which rolls every now and then


4- Creatures of coppers ( for Mounts )


we used to be able to swap our mount levels for the event then you stopped that , but did nothing to stop us from just using pet treats on the pet part of the creatures of coppers,
i think if you want to make things fair just allow us to use ONLY level 5 pet treats , and make us work for the rest perhaps, and don't let using DNA work too on the events pets

5- i suggested twice now in Q/A about being able to downgrade unique DNA, but you Dev Nick seem to have some reservations about it, so i came up with 2 possible solutions

1 - allow us to downgrade Unique DNA but we can only do 1 at a time every 30 days, and it wont be affected by the timey whimey or the other trinket that resets quests etc

2 - allow us to downgrade Unique DNA only during the main stream events or the creature coppers events

Ahem, may I remind everyone of need the need for more snakes? :)

But I'm not adverse to more insects or water based pets. I should also mention the new dinosaur, Lokiceratops, would make a great looking mount.

An underwater hub is interesting/fun but I'd also like to go back to Pompeii and Port Blackwood for more adventures.

Here is a few snake species which would go good in the game

so we already have a brown snake from st pats event i think, and the cobra from Gen 2-3

here is some species to consider perhaps


- Bandy-bandy

- Anaconda

-Titanoboa - prehistoric snake

- Yellow-bellied sea snake

- Green Python

- Rainbow snake


this could be a good start perhaps

My question is what is the estimated time on when you will be allowing Wall Items to be placed on the Golf Course that I requested many many months ago?

Whacked, please be patient. Last I remember, Nick is the only main developer working on this game, and because of that and other priorities, he can't get to every suggestion that's made as soon as they're requested. I'm sure he'll get around to your suggestion when he gets an opportunity to. It might take a while, but please remember that he likely has a lot he needs to do.

Giant Seahorse mounts are on our suggestions list! We'll consider them for future water related content :)

Trading sugarless drinks has been suggested before, and I do like the idea of a recycling program :P

This is the first I've recalled hearing of this! I think it should work on Flux Flax. I'll add that to the bug list.

Skimming the code, it doesn't look like it has any exceptions like this. I'll have to look closer when I have time.

If anyone else has encountered this, please let me know.

We already have a Praying Mantis, Giant Rhinoceros Beetle, Ladybug, Butterflies, and Moth.

Any other specific insect mount suggestions?

1) Great aquatic creature suggestions! Noted.

2) Interesting suggestions for special calendar days to work into the events. I've noted them down.

3) Great insect pet ideas! We have some as mounts, but could use pet versions of those for sure. Noted.

4) Thanks for the feedback on the Creature Collector mini-event. I appreciate you considering the balance between pets and mounts.

5) Thanks for suggesting these compromises for downgrading Unique DNA. I'll take them into consideration.

Snakes are on the list!

The Loki Ceratops does look cool! Those horns!

Pompeii and Port Blackwood are great locations for more intrigue, certainly.
