Due to a recent discussion a large amout of people had on the SB regarding Res there were several suggestions floating around.  Below is a list that a lot of us feel will help Res to actually gain more members:

-Eggs need to be harder to obtain and possibly expire if not hatched once incubated.
-A better restocking system where rarer items do not stock so often.
-Creatu Colours be much more rare.
-Fix the imbalance of male/female creatu.
-Plots/Wars
-Weekly Contests (Book, Art, Puzzle etc)
-Random Events
-Give items more of a purpose.
-The return of 'Rotten Eggs'
-Incubation actually having a purpose.
-Fix forum layout so posts are not lost when large image is displayed.

If anyone has anymore please just post. I think if the suggestions are all on one thread it will be easier for the staff/Pat to address them.

Go nuts! =]

Comment on Imbalance of male/female creatu:

I don't think there's an imbalance at all. Eversince a lot of people have been complaining about such thing, I have kept track of the genders of my hatches. So far it has been 27 males and 21 females. (Yes, there are more male hatches for me) Still it is close to 50-50. There might be time where I hatch all females/males in a daybut still when you look at it at a larger scale, the hatching frequencies are close to equal. :)

Actually I think the gender imbalance thingo's been fixed because now I managed to large amount of males xD

And as much as I adore the idea of weekly trivia and puzzles, I think I'd prefer larger contests like art and writitng one's to still take place once a month :)

I'll probably add more suggestions later xD Once I collect my thoughts together and all.

I like most of the suggestions, but I don't think expiring eggs is necessary or is going to net in new members. I think about it especially if you have a huge hoard waiting to be hatched, I would honestly hate it if half of my hoard expired due to not hatching fast enough. It'd be very frustrating, in my opinion. What would be the time limit until it expires?

Also, what if someone has a CS (especially retired) or seasonal egg? Or a gallery of their egg collection?

This is probably the only suggestion that bothers me a bit.

Oh, okay then, that's no problem to me, I like that. So as long as the time limit's enough for the people who may have limited time on the computer and can't wait for the egg to incubate enough to hatch it safely.

There is a gender imbalance.

I addressed it to Patrick once in the shoutbox and he said there wasn't, but to be sure, he switched the gender ratios. This was a few days ago, on July 1st I think, so since then you should be hatching more males than females.

Before July 1 I hatched maybe two or three males in a week (of 21 hatches), and since July 1 I've only hatched two females. The rest have been males. The reason it seems somewhat even right now is because he switched the gender ratios.

In a few days you'll have people complaining about having too many male hatches - it's happening already.

Two things I don't really like are Creatu Colours more rare and Eggs possible expiring when not hatched. :/ The others I don't really care for. o.o

But I really don't want to see Creatu Colours more rare especially because it kinda won't be fair to others and be very very hard to complete a creatu collection because I am still having trouble to get an Ablino Meiko. This is my opinion on that. 

I forgot to say something about Eggs being harder to obtain, I don't want them to be hard to obtain because I have a hard time finding Meragon eggs and seasonal even with their current ratio of appearing.

About Eggs of expiring, I don't want them to expire either because I would loose alot of my Meiko eggs that I have to use to get an Albino and some of my rare ones like Myotis and Veram.

Here you go..You can add these to the list.

-Incubation actually having a purpose.

Which purpose could people suggest? Not many I think :/
