I know this has been suggested before, but unfortunately it got buried in suggestions a few years back, and the original user who posted it is no longer playing.
So that's why I'm resuggesting it.

Also please read before supporting if possible!

So essentially, my idea is:

People can give out studding 'tokens', 'vouchers', or 'tickets',(whatever name works best) to breed to their king, similar to how breeding straws work in real life. A studding token can be created for the same price as the stud fee by the owner of the stud, ( or maybe for 1GB ) uses up a studding slot for that week, and can be transferred to someone like an item. This studding token can be used even when the stud is offline, and works just like the normal breeding mechanic with tries and energy loss.
If the token is only spent the following week when stud requests are refilled, then it uses another studding slot upon use.
If the stud is retired or the account is suspended or banned etc, the token becomes invalid or expires.

This is just the basic concept. There are a few things that I'm not sure about, which I will make suggestions for below. These suggestions are just thoughts and may be scrapped or changed!
If you have any ideas or suggestions yourself, feel free to add them!

1: For applying items to the stud, and using a breeding token at the same time. Perhaps on the stud's page, you can select the token like you can Buffy balls and grain of paradise?

2: If the stud has closed studding requests, the user with the token could possibly still be able to use the stud's services, avoiding any scams maybe?

3: Only a certain amount of tokens can be actively available from a certain stud at a time. so for example, if you have 3 token slots, and you have three unused tokens floating around in the lioden world, you cannot make any more tokens until one of those three are used, freeing up a slot.

4: Maybe the tokens should have an expiry date? Like a week or two? To prevent people from hoarding tokens and keeping the stud from sending others out.

5: IF studding to an offline stud and the stud regaining energy as normal is a bit broken, perhaps the stud should regain energy slower until the user logs back in/rolls over or comes online? This would only apply to energy spent with stud Tokens!
Or perhaps the stud could lose hunger together with the breeding, effectively having the same outcome?

If you have any other suggestions or thoughts on how to improve this idea, please comment them! This is just a concept and probably still requires better refinement!
