Note: Rules are subject to change at any time and without prior notification.
In general:
o1. Obey Gaia's ToS and the Breedables Forum rules and guidelines.
o2. Staff word is law. The staff has the final say in all matters regarding this shop, and it would be wise to respect it.
o3. Please direct shop-related questions/comments/concerns via PM to the mule, Dacaiana. Do not PM the staff directly unless you have been given permission to do so.
o4. Do not flame, troll, spam or try to play mod of the shop. That is what the staff is for, and they do their jobs well.
o5. Please be respectful and nice whenever possible. If you have a shop-related problem, PM the mule and we'll try to help you, answer your questions or give an explanation.
o6. Do not bring drama into the thread. If you have a problem with someone in the thread, please deal with it in PM.
o7. Have patience. With certs, growings, etc. Do not expect all of us to be around all of the time! We have lives outside of Gaia and do our best to devote our time to this shop, so bear with us! If you have a question that you must have answered immediately, try asking one of our shop-regulars – they might have an answer or can point you in the right direction.
o8. Do not beg or whine for a pet. you will be warned, and any further incidents will render you on the blacklist! Just look out for one of the many events and stay active and kind in the thread and you’re sure to get lucky!
o9. Do not steal, copy or alter any of the art work! Making journal banners, sigs, and post-flobs are fine, but drawing/coloring/editing over our bases is not.
1o. Do not direct-link. Save all of your images to your own server (just in case) and remember to resave them 'for web' if your going to stick them in your sig as our images are usually over Gaia's sig limit!
11. Please try to type as clearly as you can. You don't have to be perfect, but at least spell out your words to the best of your ability and use punctuation!
You'd do well to note:
o1. You can have as many wolves as you want. There is no restriction on the number you can own, however please give others a chance.
o2. Roleplaying is not required, but encouraged! Unless otherwise stated - we may, from time to time, give away a special pet that has an integral part in a plot or that has special abilities, etc. However, those who do roleplay will be able to breed their pets, possibly reach the elder stage, and gain other hidden perks.
o3. We will not PM you about growths or certings. It’s your job to keep up with the thread.
o4. Co-owning is not allowed. It just gets too complicated when it comes to RP-rights, breeding rights, etc.
o5. You may not sell or trade your pets, their offspring, or familiars. You can, however, gift them away to friends or hold a free event (flaffle, RP/Concept contest). To hold an event, send a PM to the mule labeled “User-run Event” with the details, and we’ll work something out.
o6. Rules vary from sale to sale - read! Make sure to read all the rules and requirements when participating in a sale. Note that in all events that require it, payments are due within 24 hours unless we've already talked about it. For specific information about other types of availabilities as well as customs and breedings, read further.
Things you might have been thinking:
Can my pet die?
The creatures of Dacaiana are blessed with a relatively long lifespan, however, you are the only one who can decide when your pet dies. It does add to the realism, however, if the pet ages or is injured, especially if it's got generations of children.
Can it have special powers, like blow fire or stop time?
At this time, no.
Can my wolf set up a pack or another such group?
Yes, feel free to set up a pack for rp, though please note, pack status will not be noted on the cert. If you would like a subforum for your pack in the guild, please PM the mule and send a trade of 2.5k and we'll get one set up for you.
Can pairings be malexmale or femalexfemale?
Yes, though they will not produce offspring.
Do you do cosplays? Can I get my OC or a Pokemon or Riku?
Yes, we do cosplays. We welcome your OCs and any natural/animal or creature cosplays. Humanoid and licensed cosplays will be taken on a case-by-case basis and will be based off the character in a way that makes the most sense. If a character has different 'forms', each form will be treated as a seperate cosplay and character. i.e, there can be a cosplay of Organization 13 Riku and KH2 Riku.
