Yeah I don't know why I am annoyed by this, but what is with the Hyrda.

It's been in the Cash Shop since May 16, 2016.

2016?! Over a year ago!
To be exact, it's been 570 days to today.

Like come on, I thought "Limited Edition" meant that a creature was only available for a short amount of time.

Even the cash shop says:
"These limited edition creatures won't be here for long! They are here for special events only and can retire indefinitely at any time."

The key phrase being "won't be here for long!"

Did the mods and @ian just forget?

I get that it's cool to have this suspense that the cc creature can retire "at any time", but seriously it gets a little weird and silly if a "limited edition" creature is out for a year+

If anything, don't call it an LE. Just say it's a normal CC creature that's available forever. Then retire it, a year or more later and it becomes an LE. Like all the commons in the cave that get retired years after their release.

Sure would like to see something new up there. Maybe a New Years creature? That would be cool!!

The Balrogipuwet and Rhinedorf where both available in the CSP for more than a year, nearly two years for the Balrog. Is it really such a bad thing to have a non-changing creature in the CSP again?

@Orderedchaos
Did you still call it "Limited Edition" back then?

If so, I still stick to my same point. It's silly to call something Limited Edition and say things like "won't be here for long!" when it's available for 2 years (in the case of the Balrog).

Just because it was done in the past doesn't invalidate my point.
If fact, both accounts would be silly. More so the previous cases since the Balrog availability was longer

It's not bad to have a non-changing CSP in my opinion, as long as you just don't call it Limited Edition if it's going to be out for so long.

@tikimaki

A little nit-picky, but I do agree that it is a little misleading to people, if you use a label like "Limited Edition"

I thought the Hydra would be the new version of the Balrog and Rhinedorf from a long time ago but yea "LE" was a bit weird
