I dunno if anyone else does this, but I really like having creatures of the same species arranged in order of age (more specifically, the ID numbers in the URLs, from low to high), but the default sort option seems to arrange them however it darn well pleases, which creates a bit of a headache for me. I'd love it if we had an extra sorting option that arranges creatures by the order in which they were obtained--or perhaps the default sort itself could use tweaking, since it seems to already try arranging creatures by age, albeit inconsistently (and with the most recent at the top, rather than the bottom like I usually arrange them :t-shrug: ). Though having said that, I can't imagine why it would ever put two April 2nd creatures in between two April 1st creatures (the latter of which were females while one of the former was male, so gender doesn't seem to have been a factor).

Edit: Aaand it turns out I should have checked the second post before making a suggestion, not after.

The current default sort sorts the creatures by their growth, i. e. roughly by how many clicks they have obtained. it's a bit more complicated than just counting clicks, but close enough. Since you can't see the amount of clicks, that can appear to be in a seemingly random order. Clicks still get counted after creatures have grown up, so the order of adults can even change if you keep clicking some and not others.

Hi!

New person here. Thank you so much for the detailed information in the FAQs.

Just looked up this one:

"What is releasing?
Releasing is done using the 'release' button on a creature. This will permanently remove the creature from your keep. There is no way for anyone to get that creature again."

Would it be possible to add information as to how long it takes before an egg can be released?

Thanks,
Bantymom

I think it would be awesome there was some sort of feed or notifications system where we can see which users have thrown ribboned eggs, tricks or treats at you, and how many eggs they've thrown, etc. Something of the like, so users can return eggs to all the users who have thrown stuff at them while they were offline or afk. Sort of like a history :D

This has been in place for some of the throwing events and most likely will be in place for some that are yet to come, but won't be put in place for the current one. (:

You know what would actually be really helpful? One more click thread where all the creatures must be posted in spoilers. The reason why is because I find myself clicking the same people over and over and only making a few coins on a whole page... if we hid the people we have already clicked it will save bandwidth.
Haven't been on Magistream in several months. Any gifts of recent creatures would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps a region-based filter for the bestiary? More for the 'geek factor' than anything else, I just think it'd be neat to be able to search up in the bestiary based off the descriptions of creatures, lists of all the creatures that for example live in Silva, or Taggelisk, or the Keep and other countries/mapped locations, or lists of which creatures are found in multiple places or roam between lands or which ones are unknown in origin.
Or if there's a fansite somewhere where someone's already taken the time to make such lists, I'd love a link.

Another thought, maybe a scroll or checkbox or something so that you can set certain tabs to not show up when breeding animals of different tabs?
Like if you want to breed two of your main animals and could block the 50 or so creatures in your trade tab that they're also compatible with from showing up.

One thing I wish we could do is describe tabs, for example I keep all my creatures in area based tabs like pastures, the rooftops, fire caves, living quarters, etc.
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.
