It looks like a more complicated situation now that both sides of the story has come out.. I personally can't take sides with either parties. I can understand why TJ did what he did when the possibility of tracing came up, he probably didn't have all the time in the world to decide on the action to take since the hatchlings were due to grow up soon. If the original adults were revealed to the userbase there was a possibility of backlash (regarding the tracing, regardless of how small the chance may be) against the artists that would have resulted in drama either way. I don't know. While it was unfair to Tazzay and EEF when the sprites were replaced completely, I think what TJ did was justifiable enough in terms of keeping the drama down and not blemishing the artists' names. I don't think, at least to a growing artist who's only making art for themselves, that tracing/referencing or taking inspiration from something is a bad thing if they keep it to themselves or credit accordingly. (there is nothing shameful about crediting) While I don't know if tracing did actually occur or not and I'm not stating this towards this situation specifically; I don't agree with using traces, or partially traced things in "official" situations, submission, etc and whatever. Just out of respect for the thing you're submitting/using it for and out of respect for the original inspiration. This all turned to be quite a mess, I hope the heat settles down soon. ):

The original sprites are gorgeous. Now that I know Tazzay and edwardelricfreak wasn't aware of the change and was kept in the dark as much as we were I'm not really sure how to feel about the release anymore. I do hope that at least the artists get an explanation even if the userbase doesn't. edit: WHOA HUH WHAT HAPPENED

!! I love them! ;-; hnn dragons with antler like horns are the best

Mmm, I just checked out the Silver eggs and hatchies in the encyclopedia, they aren't really my thing.. The egg especially, but that's probably because I loved the old egg so much so my reasoning isn't really well founded haha. ;v; I'm loving everything about the Two Headed update though and the adult Silvers, even though the Silvers do drastically change a bunch of lineages. Ah well, there's always a silver lining, I'm sure there'll be more beautiful lineages to make with the new sprites. : D

I love both updates! 8D May take me awhile to get used to them though, and I'll definetly miss the old sprites, but I love the way the new sprites look. They have so much detail now. <3

I always thought those were Misfit pygmies, judging from the stripes on their body and wings.

Happy Halloween! : D

In the first 2~4 hours of release everyone will be scrambling to catch eggs so biomes being emptied out will be a frequent occurrence, but after most people locks their scrolls it won't be hard at all. c:

Yep! The collection of treats stay forever and you can view them at any time.

Was another set of treats released? o: I just woke up. Loving the pepe one. <3

I'm pretty sure it's from Hannibal. x3

My first egg hatched. :3 *runs back into the AP*

I-is that a Kiki treat? o: *is happy*

THE FLOOD IS HERE.

Love the trophy this year! 8D

AHHH

I loooove the shadings on the Hollies..!! 8D

omg CAN'T WAIT

I woke up just in time for the flood it seems. :'D Caught my 7.

Got bombed :3 my scroll's on all the clicksite lol. Don't worry whoever you are, I saw this coming. Thanks to you I can sleep peacefully now that I know I was definitely gonna get bombed and it's not gonna be when I'm asleep. Kudos to you, bomber of the year. Not gonna be able to stay awake to see LadyLyzar post the info ;-; I'll just wake up earlier to read it!! Thank you LadyLyzar!

Mm just caught my 7th bronze Lunar, they're pretty hard to catch now o~o I've been sitting in the desert for the past few hours. I'll give some of mine to my friends if they want them since they've been busy with schoolwork, otherwise I don't think I'll be hunting for any more bronze ones haha. ´ω｀;; Good luck to everyone else!

Caught a brown Lunar after one of my other eggs hatched a little while ago. The blue and silver adults are my favourites but I have a feeling they'll turn out to be the most rare out of the four, regardless of the official overall rarity. ;;

*scrambles to the cave* AHH I'M LOCKED.

Ahh such pretty adults ;o;

Such pretty eggs!! o: I caught 6 of the yellow ones, I wonder if these are dropped based on the time of day or the time of year.
