    (My first post, hello! Interesting thread.)

    I just don't appreciate the load of lies TNT keeps telling users about how they can't ever bring back UC pets. I would much rather they just own up to how and why they won't, and then we can all maybe have an open discussion about it during which most of the remaining users admit we would spend hundreds of dollars on this hypothetical Unconverter tool. And then corporate JS sees the dollar signs and finally gives the green light. End of faerie tale! Back to beta reality.

    I think it's honestly because when you create a pet, you didn't have to complete the pet creation process so your pet will be "Not Yet Born" but classified as created. You could morph pets that were not yet born and paint/zap them. When you felt like completing the creation process, your pet age starts at 0 hours old.

    I think JS's continued adherence to the party line of "can't create new UCs!"/no UC paintbrush despite that being demonstrably not the case is another sign of their or higherups' misunderstanding of the brand-- one of Snarkie's (former staffer's) AMA answers recently on twitter was how the design focus of the mobile redesign site was targeting a young child audience rather than a "family" one.

    She contrasted it to the design of the new Battledome, which has all of Neopets' lore characters front and center to draw in that audience rather than the generic unclothed pets. It really struck me how just far more appealing I used to find the splash frontpage images that would cycle up randomly, especially Shoomlah's--not all of them had clothed pets/lore characters, but the way that she drew 'wild' pets made them look very appealing as well rather than the somewhat dumpy stock poses now do.

    Imo the only way for JS to bring back UCs without killing the market would basically be "NC, one use, no trade". You can still trade 'original' UC pets, but any pets reverted to UC are no-trade/no-abandon/auto-convert if traded. Either that or make the NC item like $200

    "No restrictions on trading?" RIP everyone who has an original UC, especially high tier, as they're now worthless.

    "One per account?" - hellloooo alternate accounts

    Regardless, if they introduce a new way to get UCs, no matter how well thought out, there will be a flood of users going "well XYZ pet ONLY has a converted (plushie/royal) look because the colour was released after UC.... Can you make alternate art for a UC of this colour/species?" etc

    This isn't something they should be doing behind closed doors, they should use the community to vote/suggest/consult. They won't. And imo we will hear about this for years to come
