How Petiopia works with announcing new pets?

[Zeilla8]

Sorry this is being a bit lazy, I did look around for a while for info, but didn't find anything and instead of, you know working, and looking more. I'll just be lazy and ask a question. Hope ya'll don't mind!

I'm wondering, do the creators of Petopia get information from Blizz on the new pets that are available in Cata? Or is it us hunters who are on the Beta finding and taming the new beasts that give Petopia the information to post the new hunter pets?

Thanks,
Z

its all us we provide mania with the info and she adds what is needed to petopia its a joint effort of thousands of hunters that want others to know what is and is not tameable!

[Zeilla8]

That is so fantastic and amazing! OMG I'm so excited to help discover new pets! Screw questing, exploration here I come! ^^

I actually think if you found the Blue Scorpid in Cata (the one that is located in Southern Barrens on live) that you might be able to walk on water and turn water into wine. You would have people naming pets after you and stuff.

20 Helens agree, IMO. (Kids in the Hall reference)

Petopia is run and updated by Mania alone (along with Mania's Arcania, Warcraft Mounts, and Warcraft Tabards). ^^ I don't know how she does it, but she's an amazing woman that's for sure. We can help her out by forwarding along new pet info we find, so feel free to share any tantalizing new information you come across, it's always fun to discuss it here.

Ohoh, Z, have you seen Mania's spreadsheet yet?

That'll help a TON with tracking things.

Heh Kalli you beat me to it.
(OK, by a lot but... I didn't see this thread before and that was my first thought, so it still counts! ;P)

[Kalliope]

We mindvibe a lot, Sarayana; it counts!

*is absolutely squeeing at all this*

Now Z just has to meet Winny and the boards will completely explode! (You two remind me of each other with your style of exploration and penchant for screenies/videos. Plus, EU server! )

We do, that's true.

*snorts at Veph* It's not hard when I leave the hard work to my moderators.

Zeilla8: Let me know if you want access to the back end of the spreadsheet to fill in info as you find it. (I love free labor ...)

Vephriel and Safrienaer have also been trying to keep everyone up-to-date via stickies here with new info as forum members post it. You should definitely check those out.

And if I seem to be missing something important - which I often do because I'm scatter-brained and lazy and I can't keep up with the members here - you should always feel free to send me a PM here or e-mail me at mania@wow-petopia.com.

Oh I do love spreadsheets! (actually not kidding. HAHAHA) So much fun stuff to work on! Nice to have a proper project to work on!!!

*Rushes to print things out and start looking things over and takes notes*

I've sent you an invitation to get at the back end. Let me know if it gives you trouble or if you have any questions.
