So the final results of the poll were unfortunately very close lol. The Static Option had ~48% while the Midnight Option had ~51%.

After some consideration, I am going to go with the Midnight Option. I think it will be the most effective for giving players a huge window per day to breed their pets where they will all retain the same cooldown time no matter if they breed some in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I feel that the Midnight Option will also be very easy for new players (and current players) to adapt to and understand as it will be very static. Lastly, after the initial change over, the time between breeding will remain exactly the same amount of time as it is now.

I will probably look to implement this change on this upcoming Saturday.

This is great Krin!!
Thanks for the hard work you do.. =)

Thanks so much, Krin!

can someone plz breed with my pets

Thank you Krin for all the hard work you have put into the site! *air hugs Krin*

This made my day, Krin! Thanks so very much! It will make my breeding projects much easier to breed on the weekends when I have a bit of time off of work! :)

I appreciate the poll but feel the need to ask this just to be sure it's brought into consideration~

I don't personally bother with nurturing competitions but wouldn't breeding cool downs resetting at midnight all at once give an advantage during nurturing competitions to those players who are available at midnight vs. those who have completely different timeframes (say those who are only able to nurture later in the day). Those midnight players will always be able to nurture the newest critters first at the earliest convenience of their making possibly allowing them more nurtures then those who can't.

(I don't know if this is a possibility, just a passing thought I had.)

This is a good point that i didnt even think of. As a breeder i would be perfectly fine with breeding being halted during contests to halt the players that will breed in the last 5 mins to get extra points to get ahead. with breeding turned off everyone would have the same opportunity to get the points as the eggling/hatchlings on site got smaller and smaller xD
