meg • 6 Dec 2011, 1:03 PM

I saw it on Twitter xD

silverserpent • 6 Dec 2011, 2:09 PM

Cool, must check it out. 😊

silverserpent • 6 Dec 2011, 2:13 PM

Tenalps are more rare than I thought. Interesting.

himitsutenshin • 6 Dec 2011, 2:14 PM

Mo's are less rare than I thought xd

deu • 6 Dec 2011, 2:18 PM

NICE! Thank you Ian for this great update 😃

smilies • 6 Dec 2011, 2:28 PM

Are my eyes deceiving me? Or are onnys as rare as raskoons? XD

miomar • 6 Dec 2011, 2:29 PM

Gobbler's are more rare then Onnies =^P

miomar • 6 Dec 2011, 2:29 PM

Even Clous are =^o

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2011, 2:30 PM

It's funny, kujaks were only around for a month but are more common than most commons that have been around forever.

cubexline • 6 Dec 2011, 2:31 PM

I somehow dont like this, sorry Ian, I just dont.

smilies • 6 Dec 2011, 2:38 PM

LOL. This is going to be funny for the TC XD

libra • 6 Dec 2011, 2:39 PM

Huh. Interesting.

miomar • 6 Dec 2011, 2:42 PM

The whole island is going crazy! =^D

qwaszx • 6 Dec 2011, 2:42 PM

This kinda brings down rareity... =^/ Huh.

cubexline • 6 Dec 2011, 2:50 PM

I have a bad feeling people will abuse this in some way. :l

libra • 6 Dec 2011, 2:53 PM

@cubexline - People always do. *sigh*

miomar • 6 Dec 2011, 2:54 PM

@Qwaszx But this is the actial rarity. He had it wrong all the time =^P

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2011, 2:55 PM

@cubexline Not seeing where the possibility for abuse is in this system. It's just a numerical value of rarity.

ping • 6 Dec 2011, 2:56 PM

Yea people always abuse new features on EC. ._.

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2011, 2:56 PM

If anything it will make trades more fair, less people asking for CC's in exchange for common creatures (for example).

cubexline • 6 Dec 2011, 2:56 PM

Yup, Ie with the kujaks and magmish's, trying to get rares with just one x_x that annoyed me lol

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2011, 2:57 PM

Perhaps people will find a way to abuse it, but at this moment I can't find a way they can.

cubexline • 6 Dec 2011, 2:58 PM

I already kinda witnessing a trade, not going to call the person out.

qwaszx • 6 Dec 2011, 3:00 PM

Hmmm... It's gonna be harder for me to find a Macbot now. D^=

anori • 6 Dec 2011, 3:03 PM

Love this update although in the future It would be amazing If we cloud have different rarity per stage as well 😊

harrypotter123698 • 6 Dec 2011, 3:04 PM

So cool! 😃 And woah! Raicorns and Squearths are rarer than onnies?! 😃

sky • 6 Dec 2011, 3:08 PM

Meh. It's gonna be a long time for me to achieve a Macbot...I already has a perfect name for one, too! D:

sky • 6 Dec 2011, 3:10 PM

A Clous is rarer then an Onny? O.O /Hugs Addison/

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2011, 3:12 PM

Hehe, all these revelations about what creatures are rarer than we thought. So much fun. 😊

deu • 6 Dec 2011, 3:14 PM

There are 20 creatures which are rarer than Onnies 😃 (I made a list of all the creature below the 50 😸)

wolfmilk • 6 Dec 2011, 3:26 PM

But does this include dead creatures?

lady_kassandra • 6 Dec 2011, 3:27 PM

whoa, interesting..)

nanami • 6 Dec 2011, 3:28 PM

will Ian make every year a update to this rarity stuff?If not then we can not trust this numbers after 1 or 2 years,because eggs can die xD

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2011, 3:28 PM

@wolfmilk No, this is only counting creatures that are alive right now. So the rarity of creatures will change over time as...
