BLOBLINS INTRODUCTION & FAQ
So you want to adopt a Bloblin...
GENERAL
What are Bloblins?
They're a forums adoptable. In these kinds of games the focus is generally on interacting with your pet and seeing how they can grow and change while you chat/RP/whatever with your forum friends.
So it was an old PC game?
No, not really. But I think it's fun to use that as a framing device for official announcements and events. Up to you if you want to commit to the bit with me.
How do I get one?
Just head on over to the Adoption Centre and follow the instructions there. Once an admin has processed your application, they'll deliver you your Bloblin. Once that's done, make a thread in the Profiles subforum with your Bloblin in the first post. The Profiles subforum serves as a directory. Feel free to use the thread however you'd like, for instance by keeping a log of your Bloblin's life so far.
GOLD AND SPENDING
What's this about gold...?
There is a one time fee to get your Bloblin. This is paid in forums gold. This is a fake currency, no real money is exchanged! Forums gold is earned simply by participating in conversations around the forums. You can see how much you have under your avatar. The reason for this is that Bloblins are a pretty interactive pet that requires a bit of effort on my part, so it's more fun if everyone participates! Don't worry though, it doesn't take long to collect enough for a Bloblin. Please don't spam just to get the required amount - we'll just take away the gold and delete the spam. Do note also that the Profiles forum does not generate any gold as it's just for tracking your own stuff.
Can I use gold for anything else?
Yes! The Shop has a number of things you can buy for your Bloblin. Think the starter containers are too boring? Purchase a different colour, a background, or even a bigger container for your little friend. Want to make sure everyone knows your Bloblin's name? Get some nametags. Want to dress your Bloblin up or give them something to play with? You better believe the shop has you covered.
BLOBLIN LIFE
How long does it take for eggs to hatch?
Usually, anywhere from 24-72 hours from you receiving the egg and your profile being created. If it's been longer, contact a member of staff and we'll see what's going on there. Kuup probably forgot.
Are all Bloblins just boring white blobs...?
To begin with, yes. But I found something in the instruction manual that seems to indicate that can change... For real though there will be a number of variations available but all that will be revealed later. Don't worry about missing out on cool exclusives right now, you won't be locked into the default white blob forever.
Bloblins also have a natural growth cycle in which they get bigger over time. We don't have enough data to indicate when that occurs, however.
Can I have more than one Bloblin?
Right now, it's one per customer I'm afraid. Once things get more set up and established that will change.
