These are all valid points, but as someone who has tried to save, it is freaking hard. T-T

I don't support bringing them back, but I do question what will happen when all of the eggs are bought up. How will people aquire them then? What about when people get to the point where they don't even want to auction or sell those pets even? :(

Then people will have to concentrate on the newer/more recently retired pets. You can't have everything you know.
And by the way I have spared up many times on Res, and it is incredibly easy. I have bought names I liked (note the plural) for 50 mill pure, 40 mill pure several times, and then I just spare up again. And when Kir comes out I help someone completing the quests spending 200 mill pure to get an ivik egg. And then spare up again. And I buy an RSTU Frame for 45 mill, and spare up again. And I complete Kir's quest on my own account too with some 100+ mill. And spare up again. And then I just exchange 30 mill tu for credits to buy five morphing potions, and feed them all to my kayoki, so he ends up a zaphao and no Wyrae. And I just spare up again. Sparing up is that easy.

Compaired to that omnis are still only cost about 20 mill o_0.

I do agree mostly with keeping retired pets retired so they are rarer and worth more etc etc.

I am just also wondering what will happen when, as Shinrai said, all the eggs are bought... and every account with one of those pets on it is inactive or banned? As in, it is absolutley impossible to get that species of pet anymore? Now I know that this would take years to happen since there are a lot of each retired species around but one day it is inevitable that it will happen; no one is going to play this game forever. And so, what then? What is the point of the pets still existing on the website when no one has one? Just nice art to look at? Will they be un-retired then?

I'm not really suggesting anything here, just kinda wondering if retiring them forever will always be the best idea? I mean, it is a really good idea at the moment but will it be in so many years time?

Then again, pets suh as albino omnis are almost impossible to get now, maybe it doesn't matter if even the naturals turn out that way some day.

Yeah, again, just wondering what peoples ideas are on this matter.

If an item or pet entirely disappears from the game then it's gone, simple as that.

I doubt we will see none in existence though.

There is no need to compensate. If we wanted 3 more of a pet in the game each year, we would put 3 more in a year. q:

We want them completely retired.

When Gunmetal says 'we' he means the collective of staff and developers that make this game.

(Can't wait for the new forums system so staff are properly listed as staff!)

And he's right. When a pet or item retires it's retired forever, and if it disappears from the game, then it's gone.

dragon: I was here a little less than a year ago, when i started. I was still able to otbain a retited pet, actally 3. including a dyed one.It look a lot of effort for 2 of them, one of was a gift.  but 2 cs pets is though to earn, and they were naturals. Old players with black retired cs pets didnt just get handed those pets, like what xeeroh said. I really want a black kioka, but im strongly against this.

Honestly, I doubt that the Credit Shop pets were taken down primarily to spite users. If you look at it from a buisness angle, they must not have been selling as well as they used to. Whenever a new expensive item/pet is released in the Credit Shop there is a huge wave to get it, but after a while those waves die down. The rotating scheme combats that, in a way. But, at the time of the 'old CS pets' retirement, most of the people who wanted them had them. The rush had died down. (Really. Why would you waste your money on pets that you already had? You would hardly need 10 albino Omnis on your profile to sustain your CS cravings.) So, when the announcement of retirement came, people were not only buying for themselves, but buying for the future players that they could sell them to. Which meant, a lot of profit from the same pixels.

Also, we really don't need the 'old CS pets' returning, with the arrival of newer artists and a more defined style, the pixels are only getting better. Put down your idea of 'value' between these pets and compare the art of both the adult Kioka and the adult Cyid/Aerix/Ezahni etc. I remember getting a Black Kioka which I had saved up for. But, at that time the Cyid were also being released, it actually took me a while to get past the 'value' of it and realize that I liked the Cyid alot more. So I gave that kioka to somebody for several Cyid eggs, and I became poor again. (Yay! :D) The only old CS pet that blew me away was the Liyure, but that is besides the point.

What will happen when all the pets/eggs are forever lost?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. They are gone. Get over it. 

Maybe Omnis are your favourite pet? Well, in this case, I feel bad that you chose such a difficult creature to obtain but pleading to bring them back is not going to get you anyway. At all. Similar to what Yaizhbeen said, if a person has spent a lot of real money on the pets knowing that they were to be retired then they'd be pretty upset if they were just introduced into the credit shop again. What would have been the point to hoard them in the first place?

Items retire all the time and soar in value.

Pets barely ever retire, and that's part of the reason those retired too.

Ranchers need to have something which builds value over time.

Before Kir's Quest, pets dropped in value every month and showed no signs of stopping or even slowing down.

Those retired CS pets are the only real investment available to ranchers in the form of pets.

Hmmmmm, i dunno, right now there seems like there is no point in putting the retired CS pets (Liyure, Omni, Kioka)in Cs shop again, (although i desperately, desperately want a albino liyure.. XD) since the prices are actually really reasonable. XD they are the same price as albinos, and ive even seen a gold kioka go for 20 mil (-9 mil for the dk, if im correct... meaning the kioka itself was only 11 mil) they really are only 15 mil to 25mil, so there is no point in rotating the older CS back in just yet.

But i wonder in the future if the prices on these pets will go to unbelievable amounts.. like say  300mil o_o, or more... XD

Edit: now i see that people can easily get 300 mil! XD

well, on another site, Magistream, i understand they have 3 donation pets every month. So, you can imagine how hard and difficult it woudl be do collect all of the pets there! XD

I believe the fact that Res actually made credits obtainable by Tu also is very generous, as not all sites do this XD :)
