Does anyone know how long the pet rock promotion "limited time only" will approx. last? I can't find it listed in any news releases.

The Pet Rock (which has had mixed reviews), will be available only until Monday April 4th.

Well, what do you expect, considering it is a new pet, cost crowns, and has such a low pedigree?

People want better pets with cards, like the sea dragon, but with useful cards!

And it will cost you 2900 crowns. It comes with a blue star shield that lasts 4 rounds. I was hoping that Greyrose was gonna give me some homework while awaiting Wintertusk like Balestrom did with Celestia, but that pipe dream never happened.

Maybe if the pet rock could be bought with gold too, more people would buy it.

I see a lot of people running around the Commons asking "can someone gift me a pet rock? I don't have any crowns." I think the interest might be there, but the Crowns aren't available to everybody.

I thought it was funny. Reminds me of the pet rock that came in a box. I now have 2. It gives you Fortify spell at Baby, Taunt at Teen, nothing for adult, but gives you +5 % ice defense at Ancient. Still working on Epic. The other one that I did a Hatching on, I'm still working on it, only a Teen, and has given a +5 defense on Myth. Plus of course the Fortify card at Baby.

I bought one and quickly got it to adult so I could hatch with my other accounts. I don't know if I was just lucky or what but almost every time it hatched, we both got the rock pet. Only once did I not get it. So now I have 6 rocks running around.

Oh that is so neat.

I have two pet rocks. Both came with the Fortify card (-15% incoming Power for 4 rounds). One got Taunt at teen, and Eager at adult. The other also got Taunt at teen, and Rugged at adult.

I think they're cute!

And for those of you who might be too young to remember this, but irl, once upon a time, pet rocks were a huge rage. So a lot of folks from that generation are loving their pet rocks :)

I was really looking forward to the "surprise".
Then I saw it was a pet rock.
Wanted it!!
Crowns only.. what a rip off.
I am a subscriber (yearly) and cannot afford to buy crowns all the time.
KI please. Next time, make the "surprise" available to everyone.

Stating the obvious here, but crowns cost money. Not everyone can afford to get crowns. SO why show "preferential treatment" to the Crowns players, they already have access to the best pets (without farming!), some pretty good gear and still crowns players get more.

*Stepping off of soapbox*

Sorry if I offend anyone, I am just sick of seeing new stuff and not being able to get it.

For $10 you can buy a gift card and use it for crowns. That doesn't cost very much.

I am fully aware of that. I've purchased a couple in the past.
The point is that not everyone has/had an extra $10 to get a gift card.
I know I didn't and it really stinks because I wanted the rock.

I'm sorry. Maybe if there's enough demand for it, they'll bring it back. Believe me, I know how it is when $10 is a lot of money.
