Out of curiosity, how many "old pet" trophies did you guys end up with? I landed at 7. Between my main account and my sides, 9! On the topic of old pets, do you think they'll ever let us change the flavor text for our pets? I'm tired of everyone gathering food and acting very friendly. XD

I don't have a horse in this race as all of my pets are converted and I like them that way. xD But I'm super glad to see this intervention making an impact on the black market and making the culture of the game friendlier in general. Finally, whoever wants a nostalgic-looking pet can just buy it legitimately.
Here's hoping TNT will direct their attention next to other black-market stuff that's affecting their main game.

Out of curiosity, how many "old pet" trophies did you guys end up with? I landed at 7. Every last one of mine, including the temporary labrat because I like to dig through Lost and Pound to adopt pets who've been sitting unadopted for years on end. So 8+1. Thor is actually my youngest pet at 6550 days. ...man, all of this dreamies and trading business has 100% passed me by. I created my full entourage of lovable idiots nearly eighteen years ago and I've stuck with them ever since. That said, now that this whole-new-world-a-new-fantastic-point-of-view is opening up, I remembered that I was always really fond of the original Desert Uni and mmaaaaybe I could now do something about that. Meanwhile the pet trading scene is a whole new flavor of dumpster fire because people who don't mind stripping their newly converted UCs of tokens that aren't currently available in the Mall are sitting on a cash cow. I saw someone make such use of their UC tyrannian krawk token because they were fine with waiting until Tyrannian was available in the mall (you and me both, buddy) and traded it for like $140 worth of styling supplies with someone who wanted that krawk skin at once. Which is... actually kind of genius in a "lots of money can be made in the turbulent times following the collapse of a regime" sort of way.

I'm not sure if this was announced anywhere but I literally just noticed that petlookups are animated now. I... I almost cannot believe my eyes!! Been waiting so long for this update, I even forgot that I was waiting, omg.
Also, apparently there's a yellow question-mark button you can click now to see what other people's pets are wearing. O:
This update is really big, way more significant than just making nostalgic pets buyable.

Super stoked for the animated lookup! They had a few re-release nc items that I was just like "why... you can't even see it without the animation..." and now you can! I hope they fix the unconverted wearables though. I'm missing a key items in the animated versions Wound up with 4 old trophies on my main and 3 of the adopted pets on my side.

Also chiming in to say how EXCITED I am that animations are back! I finally get to see the little snow, light, and particle effects I love so much. But yes, very much agree I hope they go back and take another pass at all the items that have yet to be converted to the HTML5 customization system. Older items, including NC items, and even new(er) pet-color specific items are MIA... elderly pets seem to be hit hard, my elderly boy lupe (which was released in 2021!! not that old!) can't wear his clothing visibly which is sad.
I have a lot of old pets. 6 on main, and I think another 7-8 on sides. I hope we get more pet lookup trophies in the future, or maybe get some of the spotlights back... I'm a sucker for trophies.

i love this update too! does wearable music play or is that still broken, anyone know? I don't think Flash music is converted through the same process as Flash animations, alas.

One of my former UCs is now showing up as a cog on my user lookup. Sir please come back.
I tried taking the nostalgic wearable out of my styling chamber and put it back in and applied it again but it's still a no go.

I'm tired of everyone gathering food and acting very friendly. XD Out of context, this line is kinda hilarious to me. XDD On topic, I think the styles are such a cool thing to implement! I probably won't use it myself, but I'm really glad TNT set this up to be possible. (Also, all three of my pets get the Old Pet Trophy, no surprise. XP)

I didn't get any old pet trophies, which makes sense for all my created pets as my current account is from 2012 xD Best chance I had was with the pets I adopted from the pound, but none of them quite made it either. Closest I got was DreamFlier, who was created in October of 2007, so just a few months off xD
