I think it's great. Forums will be active right now because many players will be in forums.
Well the update was a bad timing for me because I redeemed my coins last one day promo which was a ShadowGrimmer I think.
And yeah, I agree with grim about the con/pro thing.

Beginners might feel its unfair but Da Man does this to stop all those multiple promos from an IP

I think the whole thing is a bad idea, I spent all my credits on s. sewaddle and now have none for the shinyCress

I think to every idea there are pros and cons to it. I'm sure this is still being test as we go along to see if there any negative side effects that come from it. It is an interesting idea and it also made me more active in that sort of sense. But for me, and like GrimReaper, I also like to post to threads that I care about. So in essence, does encouraging people who may want contribute to the discussion who normally does or be more active with an incentive override the fact that there are going to be spams and ways to obtain massive forum credits?

Well i think its a good idea to get everyone on the forums because the community will actually become one but then it will also bring a lot of spam with it

Personally I think forum credits for the promo would be a great idea but not with every promo. Unless he makes a new way to get forum credits like 1 credit for a post in Market and Trades and maybe 5 credits for posting a valid idea in idea/suggestions. Or otherwise promos will require people to spam the forums making it unpleasant to look at and lots of bans and freezes. If he would do it like every 3 promos then we would be fine but for every promo= spamming the forums

I mean if you like to collect and stuff why do you have to be forced into being social to gain it? I mean hurrah for meeting new people and getting them active in the forums but I disagree with it.

its not all forced you could buy it from other people if you dont want to post on forums
is this forum credits thing for all promos now?

i think it is quite a good idea but like grimreaper said you should be able to but the promo for llike 10x the coins as alot of people i know do not post on forums.

I think it's alright, but I agree with what previous members have said before. A lot of people don't like to post and it may seem unfair to new players. But then again it's not that hard to post a couple times a day. I think they should give out more coins per post based on length, proper spelling, etc so it would help stop spamming and banning due to that.

Oh, and I don't know if anyone has noticed but they updated the link where you go to check on your current forum credits. They've added what forums give out credits and which ones do not.

I think its crazy but good idea this will make people more active on forums and promos more rare

Well, now I am curious, who was able to get that ShadowSewaddle last night?

there is more problems that good things about the update

I wasn't able to. I only have around 28 forum credits because I'm not one for posting.

I like the idea of the forum credits, but then don't like it at the same time. Only 34 shadow sewaddle were bought (According to the rarity list), because not a lot of people post in the forum. I agree with the idea of the 10x more coins to get it as an extra option, as it'll make sure that people who don't want to post in the forums, don't have to.
