Abandoning, Adopting, and Transferring

[B55B55]

Why has it even been down as long as it has? It shouldn't take this long to redo some coding, unless they're redoing the entire Pound system. :\

The thing is, I think that is exactly what they are doing...

Yeah. Figuring out what happens to the clothing on a pet is the hard part (remember, the pound went down right after the redesign with customization and such). What should happen if you try to abandon a pet without all its clothing? You don't want the clothing to magically regenerate (colors like robot, where the clothes cover the entire pet, will devalue like a rock), but you might not want to allow the painted pets to be abandoned "naked", or to force someone to have to rebuy all the original clothing if they gave it away / sold it off.

I'm worried that there are so many pets still being abandoned into the system, while it's still in a broken state...

I'm not sure it would be so bad to magically regenerate clothing since it's non-tradable. Although I can see why neopets wouldn't want to do that since it's potentially exploitable. Similarly you can't force someone to rebuy all the original clothing since paintbrush clothing cant be bought or sold. However I think the person abandoning the pet should be able to keep the clothing if they choose. If not it would be like penalizing a person for putting a painted pet up for adoption.

I do think that this is probably one of the aspects keeping the pound down though. I wish they'ed give us more information about the process.

Since the pound will be back Monday with the new, safe transfer feature, I'm looking for a new owner ASAP for a Faerie Lupe. Her current owner will hopefully heal her before she's transfered to a new user. Note that she does NOT come with the background or petpet.


Featherstep the Faerie Lupe
Female | Level 15
Hit Points: 10/37

If you're interested, please neomail illyandria.

Also, if you're interested in being put on the waitlist for certain pets, check out the BAA here: http://www.neopets.com/~brattprincelestat . Or, if you'd like to zap for our guild (and we'll hook you up with someone who wants your pet), shoot me a neomail and we'll work something out.

I have one pet that I would like to adopt/transfer out ASAP.


luciousflavour the Grey JubJub
Gender: Female
Level: 4
Health: 58 / 29
Strength: GREAT (24)
Defence: poor
Move: super fast
Intelligence: very clever

I took this little ones in early 2007, but since the pound went down, I hadn't been an active Neopian. Now, I don't have the time to do everything that I would like to with these two, so I'm hoping a couple of people will take them in.

EDIT:

Flowvibe is spoken for!

Would anyone like a Poogle? A blue one, to be more precise?

I zapped one of my pets into a Poogle, and even though I love it to death I have plans for my other pets and feel like I can't give this poor Poogle the attention it deserves. If interested, please PM me and I'll give you his name/stats/etc.

Picked him up on the pound. Someone who couldn't adopt him was trying to. Their account was too young. Would anyone like him?

[Matrinka]

I created a two cute kois back when they were available. One is red, one is blue. Let me know if you are interested in adopting one or the other!

I also have a male blue Hissi if anyone would like to adopt him!

[raylene]

I have a snow Jetsam which I'll be putting up for adoption at about 1-2am NST tomorrow(1st may), unless someone PMs me for a transfer before that. You can get 3 avatars with it (jetsam chomp, jetsam fight, and wocky snow). The name's Barilla351. The petpet is dust right now, so unless it gets changed tomorrow, I'll probably take it off.

Pretty sure your account has to be 4+ months to adopt a limited edition pet, even if you transfer.
I think.

[SpasmBear]

Really? It doesn't say on the limited edition faq page...or the pound page...I hope it isn't true! D=

Still looking, by the way.

[butterflygirl]

I think it is. Or at least, that's the way it was before.
