OMG. Tell me, were knuffel always a thing right from the beginning? I mean, did you get to feed and play and dig with them like we do now?
Well... the Knuffel is what it all started with, but they were different! Back in the beginning, Firn sold images on Gaia which you could feed and play with, but all that happened was that the image changed. If it was hungry it looked terribly sad and meager, if it was fed a bit it looked normal and if they were full they looked bloated, if I remember correctly. Wait, I think still got some lying around.
Eventually some were given out on the site itself, and after that Knufftropolis finally came. I bought the first one on Gaia, the second one was a free Knuffel from the site and the third one was from Knufftropolis (with my old account). What feels like an eternity later, but is actually, like, 8 years ago, the Knuffel as we knew them with the digging system was released ^_^
For some strange reason, the digging system still feels rather new to me, though...
Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention that the Knufftropolis Knuffel actually give you food every time you feed or play with them! I guess that's why the links of the free Knuffel don't work anymore, but the Knufftropolis one does.
