Announcement: Summer Breeding Season Limits
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2013 8:01:20 amGreetings.
With the Winter Breeding Season babies from last year still being worked on, and the Summer Season already delayed, we're unfortunately looking at doing a smaller season which we hope to open sometime in early August, but, as always, that depends on how much we get done in the meantime.
Due to the fact that this will be a smaller season, there are going to be some limits.
1. There will be ZERO Leviathan slots for the Summer Season. Zero. None. HMS needs a break from Leviathans.
2. There will be ZERO slots for Great Wyrms available for the Summer Season. HMS has expressed an interest in working on her commission queue instead.
3. There will be 10 Standard-Wyrm slots, with no more than one per person.
4. There will be 100 tea-cup slots, with no more than 3 per person. Please submit your requests in the order of preference.
If you are under the age of 18, please be aware that we will now ask for your parents' contact information. Your invoice and a copy of our terms of service will be sent to your parent/guardian to review prior to purchase. Anyone who is dishonest about their age to get around this restriction, will face a ban from the game.
Slot numbers will be assigned at the /end/ of the season, so you may submit as long as the season is open.
If, for some unknown reason, all 100 slots are not taken, then we may allow a fourth slot to be taken in a round-robin manner after the close of the breeding season, but we find this /very/ unlikely.
For the sake of fairness, if we have more requests than slots, HMS has requested that we handle it by doing a round-robin style where some people may only get two slots so that others have a chance at getting a Wyrm. Example: We can have 33 people all getting 3 tea-cups, or 50 people all getting 2, or 100 people all getting 1. We will try not to let clutchmates get left hanging if possible, but you may want to arrange with people getting clutchmates to make sure you set the same priority.
We understand that this will be a bit troublesome, but we want to make sure everyone gets a chance at Summer Babies. This will be our first season with new sculptors, so we need to see how much they can do and balance this out with a very heavy convention season coming up.
We expect to do a small 'farm' season sometime in September, with an additional 10-ish tea-cup slots for those who have specific breeding projects.
We expect a slightly larger season for Winter 2013, since we have two-three months convention free between December and February.
