Alright, so I haven't really made a fuss over it in recent times but I guess now's a good time as any to bring up a new rule/issue. I'm not pointing anyone out, of course, but lately there's been lots of trading going on, most of which involve real money instead of our forum currency. It should bother me that there's profit being made at all on customs and the like, but since you pay for them, I think it's a bit fair to say you can sell them to other people for the money back or what have you, since there are no refunds.
However, it does state on the website that all things are still property belonging to Evelon (you're paying for ownership rights and the creation of your imagined designs) but yes, they still fall under the copyright of Evelon. In saying that, I'm making too much of a deal about it now. But I'd like for only customs (breedable and non) to only be sold to other users for money. That means that pets that have been bred may not be sold for personal profit regarding real life currency. That is, unless you're planning to spend it on Evelon of course. As I see it, I've gone through the trouble and made you more 'customs' when you breed a litter, and I guess I feel a bit cheated since those aren't bought. So yes, I have have put down a rule against that, but like I said. I'm not pinpointing anyone nor am I terribly upset by anything like this that has gone on recently or so. Just wanted to cut the head off the snake before it bites, you could say.
EDIT: Since I kinda snuck up on people, and I understand some trades may have fallen through prior to this, I won't be putting this rule into action until Nov. 6th. So yeah, get through with your trades and if they were made before hand, I'll still go ahead and do anything custom-wise that was gotten from a deal like this. Cause I'm nice like that. Also, I guess I should define what is allowed so, the only things that can be sold for RL money for personal profit are:
*Custom Lucain
*Custom Paragon
*Regular Pet Customs
*Xmas Gift Pets (only the ones in the boxes that were sold on the main site.)
No, you can't trade retired pets. We don't really keep track of who pays for them, and who just adopted them back in the day.
But like I said, there's a small grace period for those who have done this before I smacked this rule into place, so don't fret too much.
