I just wanted to say how much I'm really enjoying the giant crystal shop drop, the old battle challengers, etc.

It's such a fun way to keep things interesting without having new art, new plots, etc.

And the battlers especially.. it's so much fun to see the ones that my pet couldn't beat way back when and finally having a chance again!

Anyway. What a fun way to get more items back into the economy, a great way to get to make progress on our collections again, and just a way to keep (me, at least!) interested in DOING things on the site!

Sometimes, at least for me, it seems like there's no point currently because the site is so in-between, and I'm never going to get that last beanbag (hint hint?), and that if I'm stuck at a beanbag, there's probably a ton of plushies that I won't be able to get too.. but this is such a nice way to get a kick in the pants again. I'm questing and vending up a storm for the crystal shop (still!), and I've got new excitement for the collections.

So please, keep it up! I'm really loving all the old stuff being new again.

I agree! Some of the other threads on here make me worried for the site's future, so I think repurposing long-unused assets is good for the site's longevity [AND economy]. I don't collect beanbags or plushies, but a lot of the gourmand food is SO expensive and is also a consumable so there are so many items I don't have a snowball's chance of accessing/

What are you talking about? I just returned playing after years and I'm a little lost, never was into collecting before but I'm starting to do it, should I be aware of something that's happening right now so I don't miss it?
