I am so sad that the Firestorm Cats will not have the updates and be able to play with each other and dream and do all the other new things that kitty cats do. PLEASE, please, please reconsider not updating the Firestorm cats!?!?!

Wondering why they dont.

Dont see how there would be a tech issue,
its just a permapet with a fancy paintjob.

Unless the factory is saying...

" YOU WANT DREAMIN' CATS? GO BUY A REAL ONE!"

Hi !

I remember when the Firestorm cats were released, it was written on the info note card
that they would *not* be "updatable".
Probably a business agreement between the Firestorm and KittyCatS teams and I don't think
there is much that can be done about it.

Not sure why Firestorm would care if cats, that were made as a tribute to them, were able to be updated or not. Actually, I think KittyCats could update the Firestorm cats if they wanted to. They aren't really any different than the regular KittyCats or the ones that have been perma-petted. If enough people indicate that they want their Firestorm cats to be the same as all their other cats I think the KC team might be willing to consider updating them too.

I rezzed mine along with the other 40 in my inventory and I'm pretty sure it was updated as well.

No use to be pretty sure.

I would bet that it has something to do with how they are entered in the KC database and/or how they are scripted.

If you're giving away a bunch of free cats that won't ever need all the info tracking, you might do something different with them to save on resources. Anyone know?

Whatever the reason, they were obviously designed that way from the start, and it does make sense.

Something to remember is that Firestorm cats are both free AND permapetted. Other free cats never came permapetted before. So that makes the firestorms extra special. AND they come with a voucher to get a normal starter that can be updated. In my eyes that is really generous of Kittycats, and I don't mind them not being updated, because the package they give already give us so much. We never have to purchase a permapet vitamin for them, that's 1500-1800L that they just gave us, for free. Times two, for those that have both cats. And then the cost of a starter cat is at 199L I think it is, 1999L just given to us. Maybe that's just me though, thinking it's generous and feeling bad for asking for even more from them.

Exactly!

(Plus, the business-side of my mind says: Unlike with the other free kitties, they are never going to sell food or vitamins for them, so there is no income from them to offset the costs of maintaining space on the servers for them, etc. And with them being free, that could be a LOT of cats.)

They are a great advertising tool, and puuuurfect for letting people who are curious about KCs give them a test drive or for someone who just wants a pet, but I think that it is clear that they were never meant to have all the capabilities of a normal KC.
