I am excited to let you know we will be doing a gradual roll-out of the new pets and the VIP program, starting today. Pets that are created will be new Pets and the Exchange Pets option on Social Networks and SPP.com will allow you to exchange your pet to the new designs. Understanding this big change, we decided to take some of your questions:
- What scale will our Pet be once the Pet changes happen?
The new Pet designs will be approximately between the former “baby” and “adult” sizes.
- Will my Pet have the same appearance it does now? Ie. Will my tiger still have the same shape or will it be more uniform and rounded to accommodate accessories?
Each new Pet will still have its own special style and look, but they will be more similar in size and shape to ensure all the new items, likely clothing, that we release will fit all of the Pets properly. We tried to minimize the number of changes, but some Pets (like the chicken and frog) required a few tweaks to be able to fit into the new clothing items.
- Will the accessories and apparel be in Coin as well as Gold?
We plan to keep releasing both Coin and Gold items for your Pet to wear. Once released, all of these items will be under a new Clothing category in the Pet Shop. In fact, for a *limited time*, we’re giving everyone your first outfit FREE when you switch over your Pet to the new system! We’re really excited to offer new apparel and accessory options on the new Pet system, so be sure to check back in the coming weeks for more fun items.
- If we do not switch to the new Pet style, will we still be able to adopt the original babies when our old Pets grow up?
Unfortunately not. To help cut down on bugs and improve the site stability, new adoptions will all be for the new style of Pets.
- If we pass on the changes to the new Pets, is it a one time offer and we can’t upgrade later? Or can we pass and wait a few months then change to the new Pets?
This is not a one-time opportunity, but the offer of a FREE outfit may only be available for a limited time. You can switch your Pet to the new system at any time by clicking on the ‘Exchange Pet’ link that we’ll be adding to the SPP settings page in the coming weeks. Once you make the change, you will be committed to the new Pet style and cannot go back to the old version.
- Is the change only available for Pets on the social networks or will Pets on spp.com be able to take advantage of it too?
This change will be available to all SuperPoke! Pets users, regardless of platform. We plan to start rolling out the new system soon and hope to have it available for all users by the end of the week!
We are really excited about the upcoming changes and we hope you are too. See you on SPP!
