The monkey looks cute, sort of like something that fell out of the Chinese "Journey to the West" story. :)

A new Realm Runes producing creature? More runes to add to the 1000+ sitting in storage.

Sorry, but it's pretty hard for me to get excited about this. Where do you expect us to put these animals in our forest? I don't have the space for four animal habitats, much less two animal habitats. And why would I want to purchase another rune producing animal if I can't use the runes I already have? I've essentially stopped playing this game two months ago, I don't do anything except send and collect gems. I have neither earned any runes through events nor collected any from my rune habitat, yet I still have about 800 runes in storage.

Three-toed? Flat-faced? Probably a Sloth. Its arms are a little short though.

That being said, if they can put antlers on a Doe, this might just be their idea of a Runic Pig.

As much as I enjoy this game and the events I’m about done wasting my time and money since I can’t do anything with the hundreds of runes, animals, and habitats I’ve been collecting. I don’t understand what the point is of constantly creating events that require certain animals in order to succeed when they aren’t providing room to put them, not to mention adding new animals. Could they at least let us put animals in storage? Only upside is that I’m not spending any money!

LOL, I didn't even notice until now that they stopped featuring it in the popup! So they think if they don't bring up anything that has to do with expansions, we'll stop talking about it too? Nice.

They did. :) They increased the habitat cap for these habitats so members can buy the upcoming sale creatures. Btw the CMs and I are still working on land request for those who are land locked. I have not forgotten about you guys. This is the busy crunch period for Storm8 so I have no definite date yet.

Would be great if they would also increase the capacity of food and runes: my single bunny at level 11 needs its full basket emptied every 5 hours, so harvest is lost during the night and definitely no use for a second animal however cute, and with 2 animals per habitat 8 runes per 24 hours would make sense...

Does that mean my harvest hollow will get to hold 3 creatures? And it would be great if the habitat could hold more than 300 apples.

I would love the birthstone ponies to come back, think I only have 3 or 4.

I missed the Sagittarius on its first pass through my forest because I nodded off to sleep before completing the last collection; had to wait an entire year before I was able to complete it on its second pass and win the Ophiuchus.

You are reading my mind is't not?!;) I'm waiting for the same thing about a year now. And still need 1 creature for completing the collection for the same long time.

I'm more than willing to forget the lack of expansion issues if this and the new Gem Producer are real, cause at 1 gem per hour, I would get back the cost of my purchase in 46 hours and all that I've spent in FFS in less than a year!

Is this real? Can someone from S8 verify this?

If I buy it now and S8 realizes it was wrong, will it still produce 1 gem per hour for me and the actual 1 per day for players who buy after it gets corrected?

They reward you with a special offer i think lol.....

I know it's a mistake, (it would be wonderful if I were wrong), this isn't the first time that S8 has made a mistake of this nature, but that mistake was of a smaller magnitude. What they did to "solve" the blunder was to apologize for the error and offer players who where unhappy with their purchase a full refund.

I hear the thunderous pounding on keyboards and maniacal tappings on screens coming from the future (Monday) of angry players flooding support with questions and requests for refunds.

But I still hope I'm wrong :)

It'll be 4 Gems/2days in other words, 2 Gems/day.

It's the same as the Money Badger.

It's actually quite a ripoff considering that the Gold Producing dragons in DS give five per day and that the cost of non-coin habitats, creatures and Ultimate moves for battles are the same in both games.

Not an issue Elsa, I knew it was a typo and was waiting for an official word before making a decision to purchase it. I'm not buying it because it's a Gem Producer, but because I love the story of "The Journey to the West" and the Jewelape reminds me of the main character in the Chinese epic.

I didnt bought anything from the sale.. I see some great animals, but the 30% is not making me crazy. I doubt buying the matripony, but with all the redesigning I expect her to be there again in februari.
The birthstone ponys are still too expensive while it was cheaper to get them earlier..

Im not sure if I still have this game on my phone in februari. The game is getting slow and Im feeling more and more disfunctioned playing it..
Well see. Hopefully christmass brings a better sale

Until I can afford a Food animal, I am really determined not to spend a lot of gems. It would have to be an amazing sale - or an Owlbear LOL - to convince me to deplete my gem hoard. They got me a few months ago with the Steamtrunk, but it is in the same category as the Owlbear for me so I was super happy to get it.

Y'all are talking about two different things. Rynetory is referring to the number of habitats. Previously we could only have 1 Harvest Hollow and 1 Runic Retreat; now we can have 2 of each.
Mutley is referring to the number of animals each habitat can hold, which is 2. When these habitats were released, they each only held 1 animal, but they upgraded them a while back to hold 2. Mutley is also lamenting that the habitats can't hold more food and runes so that he/she doesn't have to collect as often.
