Thank you for the Birthday Unicorn

[mucksterme]

I think if they are going to give us something totally free that we did absolutely nothing for
Then it should give at least 10000 population, 100000 culture, and throw in a million mana just to balance it out
No need to give seeds
That would just be greedy

Well, i guess i should follow the title of the thread. Thank you Inno for the uni.

 

[SoggyShorts]

For how special it is, I would have hoped they'd throw us a bone and make it slightly better.

I'm with you.
Thanks for the spell fragments though I guess.

From my main Beta city.

Thanks much.

I have a nice little herd going...need to craft me a Rainbow and then I'll have quite an assortment.

Thank you for the birthday unicorn, Inno. It's lovely. The rest of my unicorns will be happy to welcome her to the fold.. flock? ..herd?.... I just looked it up. A group of unicorns is called a blessing. I didn't know that.

As I look at the unicorn more in other people's pics, it is starting to look more like a unicorn cake and not a unicorn like the others. Either that or it is on steroids, since everything about it looks larger than the other unicorns. lol

Happy Birthday Elvenar! Thanks for the unicorn!

It does sort of...missing legs

Happy Birthday Elvenar and wanted to say also say Thank You for the Birthday Unicorn... it's really

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

I think the legs are folded under it, like it is sitting, which would also make sense if it were a giant unicorn cake.

That is the way a horse/unicorn lays down sillies, Head up and legs kind of tucked.
If it looked like a cake Soggy would be eating them all...don't be surprised to see a bite mark or two tomorrow morning. or maybe it will spit seeds for the muckster.

@SoggyShorts That's true, there's the spell fragments! That's probably what it'll end up turning into since it doesn't really compare to Rainbow Flower Cages or Rainbow Unicorns. I think there's a lesson here for me though. I tend to be the one getting on people for complaining about free stuff, and now here I am doing just that. I'm one of those annoying people who'd rather receive nothing at all than a gift that isn't helpful/useful to me in some way and that's kinda what this is, so it kinda rubbed me the wrong way even though it was a complete surprise.

Happy Birthday Inno and thanks for the unicorn!

 

[DeletedUser7738]

She is actually quite pretty - I like it. Something free, without strings attached, no matter how meager or pointless (iyo), is always welcome from the creator. It actually shows me that the Inno folks are looking after Elvenar and us. Thanks Deborah for posting.

That's just it though, I would rather pay 2 CC and some spell frags for a birthday unicorn with rainbow stats than to get one for free that I'll never place. The mechanic is already there in the chess set- just add the birthday unicorn to the crafting recipes. This has the added bonus of not pissing off players who accidentally log into the "wrong" city first and get the gift in an alt town.

I know it's hard (if not impossible) to cater to every type of player, but I think players who "care about numbers" are a big enough demographic that they should have been taken into consideration.

 

[Vergazi]

Is it only me or does that Birthday Unicorn have either no legs or is lying down? Plus she fat! =X

lol@shimmerfly

You laugh, but we all know it's true.

That's easy enough to fix. Don't use alternate towns on the same account. If you have a different account for every city you play, you can't log into the wrong town.
