I’m so glad they upped the payout for the forest cleanup it’s such a chore, and this makes it almost worth it when Barclay asks me to do it again

I forgot to do Astra’s quests yesterday so I did Not get a birthday letter from him (I was only 20 points away from the 300 mark) but I did still get so many from everyone else. 

I still haven’t made it to the fifth town because I apparently cannot alchemize or hatch a tenacious pet for the LIFE of me.

I keep doing the dumbbitch thing of saving all my daily quest turn-ins for Cairn and then forgetting to go do Cairn’s affection quests FUCK

I had a spare rainbow forum border which I put up for sale at like 35k potatoes, didn’t expect it to be bought but here we are

[acornvolk]

My Spirit of Kindness is actually p low ID and I half-considered selling it, but then my grandfather died and at the same time this one person was harassing me over it so now I feel the need to spitefully cling to it while also kind of resenting it

The conspiracy theory of adventuring being a cryptocurrency miner is so hilarious to me

Like, here you have a team of people who have never created or run any sort of game/website/business before, and are clearly overwhelmed and making a lot of mistakes as they try to find their footing in a game that needs lots of bug fixes and improvements… 

Obviously the entire thing is a big scam to get people to run a masterfully-hidden cryptocurrency miner for them, rather than adventuring just being a poorly constructed/optimized game.

Why do people care so much about pet numbers? Can someone explain it bc it's been making me curious from the start

[acornvolk]

My hot theory is, this is part of the Flight Rising speculative market that has begun to bleed into other petsites. The same thing happened in Furvilla, there was a sudden explosive and immediate market for ‘low-id pets. 

This wasn’t originally the case in FR, early on in the game, the market for low-id dragons was so niche you could basically get them for nothing. When I started to collect them, I had people basically give their old dragons away to me because it offered them a fair balance between not really wanting their oldies anymore, but still being too sentimentally attached to exalt them. 

But, as time went on, interest grew. I can’t say for sure why, but eventually, it became a status symbol to have a dragon with 5ID or lower. So now, this is a thing, it’s mainstream Dragon Culture, a dragon can be valuable for its age alone.

So as new petsites open up, people who saw this happen in Flight Rising (Where birthdates and ID#s are prominently displayed on the site), assume that something similar will happen in the other sites, and there’s a rush to collect them quickly ‘before the price spikes’, effectively assuring that there will be a market for them, even on sites like Dappervolk where ID#s are so unnecessary and unrelated, they're only accessible through the URL. 

It’s kind of a funny ‘follow the leader’ type thing.

This is Rat.

They’re kinda stupid but got a good heart. Eventually they’ll get a haircut and new hair colour but for now they’re green.

[xigrif]

They’re my friend

[acornvolk]

This person keeps hassling me about the low-id pet I hatched and I wasn’t planning on selling but I might just go take offers to get them off my fucking back.

Equally tempting to just say “my grandfather just fucking died so how about you piss the fuck off” but there’s no need to make someone feel that bad about being Annoying

Iconic phrase of me playing Dappervolk and my plump turnip hatching: Why are you so fat and pissed, my lovely daughter??? You were juST BORN????
