Search Options:
*** I've noticed that max stat projects are fairly popular and I was wondering about having an Advanced Search option that helps find certain stat ranges.

Also since noticing since purebreds aren't labeled as their themed parents. Maybe add a purebred search function too? Themed pets seem to dwindle through time and I think people may appreciate a purebred just as much as they would enjoy the themed it was bred from in case they weren't able to participate at that certain season. And purebreds currently are hard to identify.

A forum search option to look for keywords or thread titles. Maybe also a "like" this thread option or a "follow" this thread option so players can bookmark threads to more easily re-look at them. ***

Surplus Pet Option:
(A bit of a meandering though here trying to explain best I can).
I see that there's been a lot of friction concerning the release of pets. I've liked the wildlife preserve ideas and such...
And since there's essence already implemented into sylestia (i'm thinking of a gaia kind of thing here). - I personally enjoy mass breeding (it's like Christmas opening presents when hatching eggs). - I was wondering if the surplus of pets could be turned into spirit fragments.
Ex: This pet was turned into this many species fragments for essence.
Ex: May also, this pet was also turned into this many species stat/trait fragments.
And x amount of essence fragments would be needed to complete a full essence. The Fragments would be their own item until you have enough to complete a full essence of your choosing.

And this could be thought of for when a spirit moves on it returns to nurture the mothering planets spirit to one day be reborn anew so that a part of every pet is always there. ^.^

I apologize if I've re-iterated things I tried reading through the forums as best I could. And I don't mean to insult or support strongly one groups preference on how to play, everything always needs balanced.

Your "spirit fragments" idea is actually pretty cool! I know Krin mentioned a crafting system for the game later on; perhaps this could be used to craft essences when that's implemented.
