As I'm sure a lot of you have noticed over the past couple of days, we have been rolling out official Purebred Tags on various related-features. At this point, we're pretty much done with everything so it should all be available!

What is a Purebred Tag?
For those who may be wondering, a Purebred has been a very long-standing player-kept tag that denotes if an Offspring is the child of pure Themed parents. Probably easily described with an example:

If a female Reindeer Qitari and a male Reindeer Qitari mate, their Offspring will be a Purebred Reindeer Qitari. If that Purebred Reindeer Qitari mates with either another Purebred Reindeer Qitari or a Reindeer Qitari, its Offspring, too, will be a Purebred Reindeer Qitari. And so on.




Prior, this was not tracked by the game and was not officially recognized as a thing. However, due to a very high player demand and since I was finally able to figure out a good solution for implementing such a feature - it is now officially recognized, tracked, and displayed!

You can view such a status by viewing a pet's Lineage page, Profile Page, or by using the Advanced Search. It will be denoted with a blue star and by the name of the Themed in blue text. Full Themed are denoted with an orange star and their text in purple.




Through this process, the Advanced Search also got a decent overhaul on the backend. Search results are no longer capped until the requested search query takes too long for the server to find results... which really shouldn't happen unless the server is really overloaded or you're searching for something super obscure that just happens to take forever to figure out.

Some minor inconsistencies with the search were fixed during this process and some of the interface was shuffled around a bit.

There is now a "Include Purebred" option with the search that defaults to "No". If you search for Themed, you can then set the "Include Purebred" option to your preference. It doesn't do anything unless you are specifically searching for Themed though.

Also, the default sort has been changed to by Pet ID, Descending. This was due to performance issues. So if this causes any inconvenience, I apologize. It was unfortunately necessary.

Lastly, you can now only sort by Pet Name if you are searching for a specific players' pets. The sorting is way too demanding without that limitation and there really shouldn't be too much of a reason unless you are using it to look through a certain players' custom named pets for organizational purposes.


There may be some bugs/issues with the search as a lot was changed. So please report any issues you may encounter or suggestions to better improve it. Thanks!

This is phenomenal! Love it! Thanks Krin! <3

(search naturally defaulting to descending is a tat irritating, but I can live with it, especially with all the other improvements)
