'''Ooohhh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.... not another update. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the breeding percentages have changed.'''

'''Now that we've been able to see a test run of how many hybrid offspring are being produced with the percent of active users vs population and taking into the fact the rarity that Slash wanted the hybrids in the first place we've been forced to change a few of the breeding percents. Lesser Breeding Coin pairings between the same species will remain the same, but both hybrid Breeding Coin and hybrid Lesser Breeding Coin offspring will now be determined by using their own set of numbers.'''

'''As you know... the number of offspring is determined by randomization with a MIN of 1 and a MAX of 50. Then, for each breeding, a random number is generated. Depending on the number the system gives me depends on the number of offspring you get. These are the values for the offspring.'''

Regular Species LBC Breedings

1-8 is one offspring, 9-32 is two offspring, 32-45 is three offspring, 46-50 is four offspring

Hybrid BC and LBC Breedings

1-30 is one offspring, 31-45 is two offspring, and 46-50 is three offspring

there is no chance for a fourth offspring

Xaoc and other Species BC Breedings

1-3 is one Xaoc, 4-30 is one offspring of the other species, 31-45 is two offspring, and 46-50 is three offspring

there is no chance for a fourth offspring

Basically for regular species you should mostly receive only two offspring where as for everything else you only receive one unless you're very lucky.

This applies to all breedings that have not already been assigned to artists which covers mostly only the newer breedings (the ones after Feburary 8th or so).
'''This is the most unfortunate to those who went half and half on the price of a breeding coin and were hoping for at least two offspring to split between yourselves. Producing hybrids was meant to be a rare thing that only those who were lucky enough to either win or could afford to purchase a Breeding Coin were able to get. However with the amount of hybrids being born from Breeding Coins, then the extras sold along with the amount of offspring being produced between hybrid x hybrid breedings, we became uncomfortable with the numbers and the value. Please remember this is the first time Breeding Coins have been publicly released in this volume and only now were we able to realize the damage that is being done. The uniqueness of this site comes with a price that we aren't always able to predict what can and will happen eventually. If this news upsets you we're really sorry but we're trying to stick with our original ideas and what we believe is in the best interest of the site. Slash originally only wanted one offspring to be produced from hybrids anyway with barely of chance of their ever being a second.'''

'''All that gloom and doom aside, I would like to introduce you to the STEEL LIGER ... another member of the limited lion series. However, because he's actually part tiger ;o he's only a super rare! Though, you still cannot find him in explore. If you'd like to get your hands on one of these pretty boys by entering in our News Contest (that we seem to be so fond of lol), choose a number between 1 and 100 and the first 15 people who guess correctly (or guess the closest if 15 aren't exact) will receive one. No the number isn't 69. :E'''
