More pebble stuff would still be nice,but I agree with Jinoga-- I also don't believe that's going to work as the sole solution to the pebble/moonstone value flux anymore with how long it's gone on, as most profession upgrades & den pages remain tied to ever-increasing MS taxation. The content drought is intense, and of course exacerbating the issue. A single content update with even many sets of apparel and genes / a new pebble breed-- even all of the above at once-- will help temporarily... but if the droughts continue between them, and we don't start getting consistent updates, consistent, honest communication... it simply will not matter!

Off-site trading being one of the most active on the forums is not a good sign, as others have mentioned. :P

I'd love to see a firm backtracking of the initial "most of the apparel burden on site will be carried by CA artists paying us for the privilege" stance, and use those newly hired artists (or so I've been hearing?) to give the users a more regular set of content updates. The coloring contest is cute, but I hope they don't think that's going to replace actual content updates instead of supplement them as a fun side activity.
