Thoughts on Aquarium and Coocoon Update!
First thing first, I love the concept of the aquariums. As someone who adores their EI "pets" as well as their pet fishies IRL I think this is a great idea! They look so cute too! I just got two aquarium items in my DC. One was a background and the other was a pretty gem! Too bad it's been down so far, I haven't even been able to look at the set up, but I can wait.
I know everyone is upset about the Cash Shop only thing and I do and I don't agree.
I don't mind an all cash shop among the regular shops. I can make do with buying my EI's on the marketplace, I can make do with my aquarium trinkets. I also don't mind having items that have a "life span". Items that expire help keep the economy going.
What I don't like is having to pay real life money to buy something that will ultimately die. Apart these concepts are fine and do not bother me, good for Gaia. Together you have a lot of angry Gaians out for blood.
As I've said, I got two aquarium items today from Daily Chance, (which is much more useful to me than the flowers and trash I normally get rolleyes ) so I have no doubt that I'll be using the aquariums in the future, at least to try it out. But after I run out of fish? It's seeming rather doubtful. Even if I did get Gaia Cash, I'd rather spend it on EI's, thank you very much.
TL;DR
Cash Shop:Ok
Expiring Items: Ok
Both Together: Oh Gaia. *shakes head*
Oooh! I'd sell my soul for a loach, I might suggest it in the aquarium forum once the hype dies down. I love, love, love my sweet boy Moach, my dojo loach in real life. whee
Coocoon Update! I still have no name for it! It's a scarf right now, so I think that's okay... but once I choose to have it in a bug form, I'm going to have to call it something. *ponders*
Just your average humble gardener.
