It was recently brought to our attention in Toxic's Evelon activity topic that breeding is one of the biggest — if not the biggest — features here on Evelon. And how can we blame you guys for thinking that? We do already have 5 breedable species, with one of them having been freshly revamped just earlier this year.
The problem was that our breeding system was limited. If you couldn't be online for a Key release, or if you had no luck for the raffle, you were basically always scraping by the bottom of the barrel to try to breed. And if you couldn't tag along with someone who had a key, then you were with no opportunity. It was only a specific clique of members who usually had keys on hand, and over time, the mentality that breeding keys were a rarity became the norm. People bred less and less, and even worse, they refused to share. Why share when you couldn't tell when the next key release was going to be?
Not only that, but many users were nervous about the 2-week breeding limit, considering we're all grown up now, with our own lives, responsibilities, jobs, and school. If something unexpected happened, it became a problem to complete a breeding. Would you have enough times?
After discussing it with the staff and the community, we decided to bring to you a brand new breeding reform!
Please check the following topics for everything you need to know!
Breeding Rules
Breeding Records
Breeding FAQ
In a very, very brief nutshell, the changes are as follows:
- Main breeding is ruled by slots, three (3) slots per USER;
- Each slot is separated into three categories: initiative (pays fee), participation (does not pay fee), and variable (can or cannot be fee, as necessary)
- No more time limit! The minimum is now one (1) week BETWEEN POSTS; failure to post between one week of each other will result in you failing the room;
- Species are no longer bond to anything! Wanna breed Kuhnas? Start a room. Wanna breed Soveri? Start a room. As long as you have a breeding slot, the species (rental or otherwise) and the KS/potions you need, you can breed!
- Think you can handle three breedings at once? Go ahead. But mind you, we won't be more lenient with you if you can't meet the one week between posts time limit between all three rooms. Make sure you can make it and see your rooms to completion!
The topics should be telling you everything you need to know, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Also, let me put it very clearly right here:
We reserve the right, at ANY GIVEN TIME, to CLOSE DOWN BREEDING if the backlog becomes too much.
We also reserve the right to CHANGE THE RULES if things are being abused, or if something just isn't working in practice.
If we have to resort to either of the above, I do NOT want to hear any complaints. This system is currently in its beta stages, and if changes need to be made, then they will be made. Of course, we're crossing our fingers that the system will go smoothly, but we never know. Everything can change, in order to hopefully make it as smooth as possible.
With that said, I also heard the Mage's Brewery might be having a restock at some point, to celebrate the new system... Hmm... I'd keep my eyes peeled for that, guys. When will it happen? It'd ruin the surprise if I told you, now, wouldn't it?
Here you go, guys. You really wanted this system, from what we could tell, and the team also thought it was a good idea to finally give breeding more freedom while also giving us Mods a chance to breathe at the same time.
I'm very excited to release this! So please, if you have ANY QUESTIONS, ask them here! Or PM us! Or ask in the Help section! We will answer them!
Enjoy breeding! But don't overdo it... I'm watching all of you. Closely. And I know where you live don't you dare try me
Happy Holidays, guys! Consider it a little gift from me, and the staff, to you all.
