I was wondering if a few questions could be answered?

First to clear this up, in and earlier post I thought someone said you can only adopt and one older knuffel...at all...i didnt think this was true from my understanding of the post, and also i have seen someone with more than one new knuffel of older generation...can someone please clear this up for me?

also every single time i check knufftropolis it is only the new knuffels...is it just really rare to find a donated one or am i not in the right place...please help!

Thank you!!

1) You can adopt as many as you manage to snatch.
2) Knufftropolis is the right place, but it's hard to be there in time to get any older Knuffel.

Question: When a Knuffle is put up for adoption, is it immidiately sent to Knufftropolis, or is it sort of "stored" and put in the store at a certin time (say, the shop is updated with adoptables every five minutes or something)?

I believe it's immediate. Only problem then is that they're also adopted almost immediately too, so if you're looking for any you need to be really quick.

I know Firn was still on vacation when I originally posted and I can only assume with the current updates that she's back. So I'm quoting myself from page 7 because I'm pretty sure this hasn't been answered yet and since I've seen quite a few people forming trade alliances and setting up drop times I'd really like an official answer to this.

Let me be clear, I don't care if it's something that people do so long as it's officially recognized that it's AT THEIR OWN RISK and that the user/users who have lost out can't go harassing or bad mouthing the person who innocently and legitimately adopted it. I've seen it done on other sites which is why I'm concerned.

That being said however I do have one concern. This now gives people the possibility of selling, or trading to a specific person. While yes there is a HUGE risk by pounding then adopting it's still possible. I know of at least one other site that worked that way until they gave the ability to send pets to a specific user.

What happens if I end up adopting a Knuffle that may have been meant for someone else? I don't want to be receiving PMs asking me to re-pound a Knufflel nor do I care that someone else may have paid for it. Call me rude, but that's the chance you take if you're going to be doing it that way and too bad for you.

I'd like official word on who would be right in this situation because I'm not willingly going to give up a Knuffle I've been dying to own and that I legitimately acquired through the pound.

As stated in the first post: :mcwink:
announcement wrote:This new system is for giving up Knuffel and adopting them - it is NO trading system as Knuffel should not be traded. Admins and moderators will not interfere if anyone decides to try to "trade" Knuffel through this system (either to trade them for food or transfer them between accounts) and looses food and/or Knuffel.


So, if you adopted an Knuffel that was "meant" for someone else you are completely on the save side, because you are the one who used the system the way it was intended to be used, while other people try to abuse it for something it isn't.

:mcsad: I have tried and tried to get an older Knuffel...I guess I'm not fast enough. Is this something that will continue or is it going to end at a certain time? I am still going to try and catch one...wish me luck! :qh:

The feature is a permanent one. Whether the difficulty of getting a retired Knuffel will continue or not is another question. I'm sure the hype will die down eventually... but that could also mean that putting Knuffel up for readoption would die down, too.
