I can’t wait for the Piñata event! The companions are adorable! also, the Ferret Pet Horse might look better if it was a bit longer. It looks scrunched together like an accordion.

The Halloween and Trip events are shortened and these two together will be about the same length of a single event.

they posted on Facebook that new frames are coming out. including 5,10, 15, and 20 yrs

As someone that has been in the art community for 15 years at this point and has actively commissioned and been commissioned, I struggle to believe that all this art was produced within 3-4 weeks,

A commissioned artist will usually go through multiple concept sketches, wait for feedback, then start on the next step once they've been given the okay. They will then finish the next step and send it for feedback before continuing, doing any touch ups as required. It can be a very long process, so just imagine how long it would take for a minimum of 11 unique artworks. This also doesn't factor in all the other steps, like the coding and everything else they have to do to keep the site running.

This explains why events like the wandering horses are way more spaced out, as they have to do detailed drawings for each horse with a different theme. It may also explain why we get so many events with reused artworks, as 3 weeks between each one is a very short amount of time between each one.

In short, when we get reused artwork, it's likely the result of spreading themselves thin and having to cut corners somewhere to keep on schedule, even if that schedule is 1-2 years in advance. In that time, anything can come up, like with the server migration causing all those issues.

I get being frustrated, but these things do take time, and there are a lot of steps involved. Better communication would have been nice, of course, but I'm going to give them some leeway here after what we've recently been shown.
