View topic - Will spells cycle?

There are a finite amount of colors for spells. Will they cycle around eventually?

What do you mean by cycle excactly?


The spells change every month, and a new spell comes out every new month on the 5th.

So far since June, when the spells have been introduced, there have been:

Black
White
Cyan
Cherry

Spells realeased so far.

Ernya has said before that there are going to be 42 colours (I believe) which means that at the rate they are being released, all spells will be released in 38 months from now. So if they will cycle, it won't be for a long time. (I'm assuming you mean black being sold in another month and so on)

Clicking Togepi will send you to a happy place.
I don't think spells are going to cycle, unfortunately. That would ruin the prices they are at now, and the people who donated to get them a year ago would be SOL.

/on SEMI-hiatus :C
I never thought of that :o Maybe we'll get new colours in the 38 month's time, so I'm guessing we'll never run out?

I was Jenna a couple of minutes ago, but now I'm not.
Now I know it ain't easy, but it ain't hard trying.
Havoc! Fighter! Pilot to the stars!
yeah I don't see them cycling back through the colors

    Well, there is actually /no/ answer to this, though, there is a possibility they will cycle otherwise the spells will become basically unreachable in the long run (if we're looking into that far into the future - considering this site will grow); but there is the possibility it will not, but there is no, as of now, legit answer.
    If you'd like to say more of this idea, feel free to post your idea in the Feedback forum =)

Hate is easy; Love takes courage.

It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.
I'm sure Emy can give a definite answer, but I don't see why they would cycle back through if the coins will never be recycled and items will never be re-released. They're still items.

Nope, I don't think so. Spells are like another donation item. Hope they will not be released into the market again. If this dose happen like smacking the people in face who donated or quested for those items. D: And the value of those spells will drop making people very unhappy. Like Meli said Guess we have to wait and see what Ernya says.

I do not have any answer about this topic as of yet.
This is 4 years from now, who knows what can happen and how many active members we will have by then.
This will all depend on how many spells will circulate around, and how many people owning the spells will quit. The spells are quite different from the DIs, as the reasoning (you can only equip one at a time) is the same, but you can only equip so many poses in a donation item. For the spells you can equip 50 at a time if you wish to, which take so many spells out of circulation as someone would need that many in their inventory.
We have absolutely no clue how bad this will be in 4 years, as how many spells available vs how many active people, and we cannot predict how huge the price will be for one single spell.

I cannot give a definitive answer for the moment, 4 years it too far ahead and I don't have any statistic to base it on. However the members will be consulted before taking any definitive decision.

couldn't another option be making it so you need only one spell for all of your items.
im not saying doing this right now. maybe a year or four down the rode.

because if you only needed one spell for all the items the people that have ten or more spells like me will have no need for them and most likely be willing to sell to sell the extras.

No, such option would not be available.
Post by Emy » Tue Sep 07, 2010 9:14 pm
i see, thanks for the quick reply.

then i think the best option is to cycle them then. I am pretty sure the majority will agree with it in the next 2 years. noteing that the black spell sells for like 10k or so right now i would hate to see the price of them in 4 years.

anywho this is more feed back talk.

Well anyway, if this was going to happen, the members would get warned at least 6 months before.
So people questing for the spells, would just wait and not spend a considerable amount of money, and resellers/exchangers/sellers would just hold onto them, so they wouldn't lose that much of a profit.
I see it more as a restocking than anything else.

However this is just an opinion, and this does not mean that they will cycle.
As I said, I don't have any answer just yet.

Thanks Emy

It is a long ways away so we will see when it becomes more relevant
