And I think the fairies are a little too rare. For all we know the probability could be accidentily rounded to zero somewhere. And do you really want the fairy items to be worth more than the treasure sets?
xD I don't have the source code but I can still view it..
Yeah, they are.. >.<; I doubt I can find one this year.. *headdesk*

XD;; With this year being less than a month til it ends, I'm not sure if I can find one either. I want to be optimistic and say that I can though. XD;

If no one has seen one by the end of the year, we may never see them. =/

So , Firn , are you saying there is a fairy a day , but it's possible the fairy appeared on a shop link where it would be null and void and not show up at all?

If they appear one a day, even with the fact that they could happen on a page that they would not appear, you would think we would have seen one by now. =/
Or we have all just had really really really bad luck. X_x;
Edit:
Actually I wonder, doses this happen for the people that are not a member of Knuffel? Like random people clicking on our knuffles. Now that I think about it. It depends are what part of the site is being used more. If we get more views on the Knuffles then views in the forums. Then also it can happen for someone not logged in. With all that. I can see how they may have not appeared by now.

Hmm... I do wonder if it shows up for those who aren't logged in...but I don't think that they get canceled out on the Knuffel feeding pages. I think she just means that the average overall amount of clicks on the KofK site per day will equal 1 fairy showing up in the forum. @__@

What's whit all that "A fairy a day stuff"!? No one ever said they would appear once per day or many people would have meet them by now, which was never the intention.

I didn't think they were appearing once a day, it didn't add up. but I know some where its been said. ether buy a mod, starked, I don't know. someone said it I remeber. But I have been wrong before. =_=; I didn't mean to upset you, Firn. I was just trying to fegure it out because it didn't seem right.
EDIT: Found it! This is what made us think this:
starkad wrote:... I'm a bit worried, since by the probability I set, and the pageviews we have, I had expected to have at least one appearance of the fairies per day. Please report if you see one, since I'm also eager to see it's working the way it's supposed to.

The fairies are a permanent feature, they give out one item each time they appear, and we're planning to add more items for them to give out.

Now that I reread it. He must be worried that they might appear one a day, but didn't intend them to be one a day. People must have looked at this thinking they would appear one a day.

What we said was something different.
Maybe my explanation was just too confusing, because I cannot explain it any better so people got it wrong. I am sorry for that.
To clarify it once and for all: Percental one fairy appears once every X clicks.
X was the number of clicks generated on ALL of the Kingdom Of Knuffel per day (that seems to be the "per day" people seemed to have misinterpreted) , but we have already changed that to a much smaller number because people are so impatient.
The fairy only appears in the forum though, hence, not once per day as the number of clicks generated in the forum alone is much smaller than the number generated all over the site.
In addition to this the system works quite differently: It's actually not fairy every X clicks, but a % chance of getting one within these clicks, so it depends on luck. You might encounter one earlier, or much later, or, not at all.
So, to end this: Many people seemed to expect that they would meet a fairy once every few days, or even that they would pop up as often as the Halloween candy etc.
I've read comments like "I've been on KOfK 4 hours today, but I haven't meat one yet!".
The fairy items were designed as super rare items. I will start worrying about the whole concept if no one gets one for the next 3 months. Not earlier.
I understand that people are excited about these items, that they want to meet a fairy and get the items. But if anyone would get these items easily there wouldn't be anything special about them anymore.
Edit:
So, it's starkad I have to kick for this misinformation...
At least I know it doesn't come from my poor explanations now.
