Id love to have more than one showroom.

One to store nice pets and maybe a few more to store..... other pets.

Im thinking you could purchase multiple showrooms for around 200 credits in the credit shop.

Please comment or bump for support!

No support.

You can already make separate categories for you 'nice' pets and 'other' pets and put them in them. A new showroom isn't needed.

Support. Categories are limiting and difficult to use at times, as well as a pain to manage. I don't even use them because they're such a pain. You can't select multiple categories to view/not view, so it becomes a tedious decision is to whether to look through everything, or have to go through each category individually.

I think a lot of people would benefit from the opportunity to have things like a super special showroom for favorite pets, a showroom for decent pets, a showroom for the crap pets you can't get rid of for one reason or another, and even a showroom to show off what you'd be willing to sell.

I'm at 710 pets at the moment. I can't even figure out what's making my showroom to big, and I have no idea how many character/potential characters I have and how many pets are just there being pointless. I'd love to separate them.
I know about 120 are Zaphaos from hoarding and that's it...

I'm sure Allychan would feel very accomplished having an actual Showroom for all her Iluvus, for which she could then organize them into categories further, while then having a normal showroom as well.

I'd really like to see this get done, just because I honestly believe a lot of people would benefit from this and it would give the site another form of income.
I would immediately buy one showroom, probably more as time went on and I decided what way I wanted to organize my pets.

This is a neat idea. If a user is like, a total addict to a certain creatu, they could make a whole showroom for them. (for a price, of course)  Not to mention the fact that people have way too many pets in their showroom, and have to pay for every five pets they put in.
Full support.

Thanks for the support.... and no thanks or the unsupport lol.

Grave did a great job of breaking down what I had in mind.

I dont know how this could hurt anyone or bother anyone.

Too many people hoard creatu and use ranchershops as storage. I do lol.

I barely even use my racnershop cause its so hard to find pets to price cause theres all these useless pets in it.

Anyway I hope this gets implemented in the future.

I only have 500 pets and my showroom is a total pain in the butt to go through X|
I can only imagine how hard it is for people who have thousands of pets.

Hmm just a few thoughts as a respond to Grave and others;

Maybe the problem with not been able to view several categories and so on, should rather be solved by upgrading and doing new coding on the showrooms, rather than entirely new showrooms.

I think if res where to make coding for 3 or more showrooms for each user, it would be quite the work (as well as taking space on the server I think). And Im VERY much against the idea of a showroom for "sales" pets. I think it's important not to cross the line between rancher and merchant. And if you really own that many "other" pets, maybe you should think about selling them or revising why you have them. 

For the sanctuary/adoption and hoarding ideas; I see a point in them, but I rather think people shoud be using the categories as ashdog suggested.

And with this is meant no offense; but this is a petsite after all, not a site of who can hoard the most pets. If you have so many pets that you do not know where they are and what they are, then are you really enjoying having them?

Of course, I only have some 200 pets, so maybe I just havent seen/felt the problem yet - but thinking of all the coding and work that would have to be done, (and it could be quite confusing for new or younger users) I will say no support :(

(please don't take this personally, I wasnt trying to offend or make critique of anyone c: ) 
 
EDIT: a little more constructive critisism c; what about creating something like subcategories? then hoarders could divide their pets into different and yet the same categories, and if you had like, many fiction names you could divide them into these subcategories, still under one category.
Also a name search bar like the one we have in our inventory would be really nice, and/or the possibility to view pets by a certain starting letter - making showroom search easier.

No support. :Y

Pretty much I'm in agreement with Ciller's post. Categories are there for a reason. There really is no need to completely separate your pets into different Showrooms when you can simply set up categories. They're just as effective.

Besides, this would make it a huge pain to try to look through all of a user's pets. Ohlook, you finally found a name on the ACS and it's in a Showroom. But.. wait. Gosh dang it this person has five different Showrooms. The search practically starts all over again.

Or heck, even if you were just curious and wanted to look through a person's pets for no reason at all. And suddenly they're all in different places. That'd put me off pretty fast.

I see how it may benefit, but here are some reason why I would not support

1. Addition of searching by pet species and colour in showrooms makes it MUCH easier to see if someone has something you'd like in their showroom.

2. Imagine all those people who decide to sell 90% of their pets. Or even if they're trying to offer you something in trade. It's already quite a task to look through ONE showroom and ONE rancher shop, what if you had to look through 5 showrooms ;o;

3. Categories are useful. I however don't use mine because I have the colour/pet search thing.

4. I used to have hundreds of zaphao (but sold/kir'd them off) so I know what it's like to hoard, now you can put them all in a category and I believe search within that category to find certain colours etc


And after reading ciller's post I agree with that too. Subcategories sound useful.
