[*]Lucky Streak has seen some changes, too - the soft cap at 25,000 has been removed, and replaced with a hard cap at 75,000 Treasure. This means you'll earn full treasure up until 75,000, after which players will stop earning fairground treasure for the day. Lucky Streak was originally intended as a boon to players who don't have as much time to play, and we think it still fulfills this role as a hard cap while also preventing abuse.

Well drat. Would&#039;ve been nice to have those chances with my Wildclaw girl when I bred her a couple days ago, and only got one egg.

It&#039;s okay though... I enjoy imagining her being like a kiwi, and that one egg taking up most of her internal anatomy. >P

This was such a pleasant thing to wake up to! Thank you so much guys! :D
I agree that there were so many awesome entries. I honestly didn&#039;t think mine stood as much of a chance of being a winner.

Also yay for the games coming back. The changes you made are more than reasonable. It won&#039;t be a problem for me at least.

Am I the only one that can&#039;t actually see the winning skins? D&#039;: All I see is a bunch of ####.png where the images should be.

Edit: Oh yay I can finally see them. :D Congrats to the winners!
