[center][b]Announcement: End date and prize tiers[/b]

Hi folk,
(Warning: rambling incoming! Just read the bolded parts if you are not interested)
First off all, I wanted to thank you all for your entries, support, bumps, advice and participation! :) Honestly, that is what makes raffles all worth it!
Now this raffle has been going on for about 3 months, and I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew! In my previous raffles ticket sales were pretty rapid, and therefore I underestimated the length of time it would take with this raffle to unlock all prizes (because that is my end goal!)
But given the speed of ticket sales in this raffle, it would take well over two years to unlock all prizes. Since I'm not looking to host a 2-year long raffle, nor do I want to keep you guys waiting so long, I've decided to do two things:
[LIST=1]
[*]I've set the [b]end date to 31st December 2017 23.59 FR time[/b].
This may still seem like a far way off, but given my personal life, that actually will be the first time I'll have the opportunity this year to properly wrap up a large raffle like this with this many prizes.
Plus I hope this still gives us all a chance to unlock as many prizes as possible before the end.
[*][b]I've lowered most of the threshold for unlocking prize tiers.[/b] Everything from the tier Breed: Uncommon and onwards has been reduced by 1500 to 7500 tickets.
Hopefully this will also help in unlocking all those prizes before the end of the year.
