Ya know, the things I think the keep has, and being able to describe them would be really cool

And for others (heck, myself included) it would also be helpful to allow descriptions to be used to give information about tabs, linage tabs, project tabs, selling tabs, that sorta thing.

Also being able to describe creatures would be kinda neat to but i'd honestly take the tab describing if I had to make a choice between the two.
I'm so glad that I am not the only one who was thinking of this.

I think since we have a guild based around dark creatures maybe a guild themed for light based creatures would be kinda neat.

Or just more guilds in general.

Also, since the lore always talks about magi going out and hunting eggs I think adding a few more quests like the grass forest for other areas would be really cool.
Maybe with certain requirements like owning a hippocampus for aquatic exploration or owning an enox for forest exploration.

Here's one for organizing: Tabs inside tabs. You have a main tab let's say named Shop. You click on this tab and it's like an unsorted. You can move one of the creatures from inside this tab either back to your main room or to a sub tab inside this tab. Let's say inside this tab you have tabs named Dark, Herbal, and Water. You use this to sort out all the guild creatures you have. The sub tabs don't show up unless you click a tab, and then, a second row of tabs (the sub tabs) appear for you to go to. Visitors to your lair see it this way, too.

That's a pretty nifty idea and might eliminate the need to use frozen eggs as dividers. :lol:

We really, REALLY need a function on site, that searches all of our tabs at once. I hate losing a single egg or hatchling and having to look through TONS of tabs, using CTRL + F, just to find ONE lost creature. It's really time consuming and frustrating. XD

I find using the Mass Move feature to be really helpful for finding lost creatures, particularly if you organize your Keep in a particular way you can just look at the drop down menu of species (if you see a Kitsune is in your Dragons tab you can just move it without even scrolling through the entire tab). It's pretty efficient for finding anything that doesn't quite belong :3. And since you can move things by stage and gender and frozen/unfrozen you can specify exactly what you're looking for to move it into the whatever tab you want ^-^. You still have to go through each tab individually, but it's easier than using ctrl+F I think :3.
13/25 Presents, thank you!
You can click any unhidden/unprotected tab in my Keep ^-^~!

Yeah, I tried that, but it still leads back to the issue of having to search through tabs one by one, and especially if you have A LOT of tabs, it can take forever. :lol:

If we just had like a search bar on the main part of our keeps, where we could enter a creature's species name or even it's name (if it is named) and have it search through all of our tabs in one go, the search results could list each tab that has the specified criteria. Thus, you'd know exactly where that lost creature ended up. XD

What I suggest works out for other sites such as DC. Instead of having the very minimal allotment of just 4 eggs, raise it to 5 or 6 eggs that one can have from the stream. It wouldn't include those found from the Shops as those you have to get with gold or shards. It works for others, so why not here?
My Wish list?

^ This!

It was so nice having 6 eggs at a time during the Magiversary. I really don't understand what it would hurt if we could have 6 slots all the time. :orly: Especially when it comes to quests like the ones where you need to turn in 4 LIVE Koi Eggs or 4 LIVE Capricorn eggs; if you have 3 our of the 4 required eggs, you only have space for one more egg at a time. D:

I'd love to see this be implemented (if possible) at some point, but only if it doesn't end up being another gold sink. God knows we have way too many of those as it is. :sweat:

How about an "unname" feature? I know some people are bothered by named creatures, and renaming costs gold...so why not spend the gold to (un)name a creature rather than just changing a name.
