Before you start to "boo" at me, just let me explain :D
I'm bored, and it's just a wild idea that I don't want to lose.

Why?

Most of the players use a second account to freeze their lions and lionesses without immortalizing them. They simply want to avoid the lions' aging (selling, using them later, etc.) by moving them to an inactive account. However, owning an inactive account can cause several issues, such as:

-If you want to take down just one lion from trade or make some changes in your trades, you or your buyer have to wait days until your inactive account can be rolled, or you have to roll all your lions that you don't want to let age.
-Sometimes you want to play with your inactive account too - you want another cool male that you can rollover daily, you want to participate in events with two accounts, etc. - and you have to roll your lions that you don't want to roll.
-You have to consider what is worth more to you: taking another freezable lion to your side account and rolling the others, or letting the lion age, and you can move it when you can roll (that can be once a month for somebody).
And well, there is no point in making another account, taking another cool name from a potencial new active player just to not play with the account, right? :D

Then what, and how should this work?

In the Cave settings, we should have an option to "Freeze" and "Melt" the Cave. By doing this, the game will skip aging your lions that are part of this cave. If you want to roll them again, you just have to take them out of the frozen cave, and if you want to freeze one, you have to put it back into the Frozen Cave or Melt the full cave to use it as a normal 'storage'. Sounds cool to me. I know, I know, there might be some issues, but I'll discuss them with you guys. Let's continue.

To avoid the problem of freezing everything, even the potatoes, we can set another limit for the "Expand your frozen caves" and "Expand your frozen-in-time lions" options. Perhaps the best solution is to allow players to have a maximum of 1-3 Frozen Caves, and they would need to buy slots for the frozen-in-time lions from GB.



Issues and How to Avoid Them

What if players still use another account to freeze more lions?
Even with this new feature, if we make things easier and less time-consuming, there will be less incentive to use another account just for freezing lions. Players will be more inclined to use this feature within their main account. Having the option to freeze caves in your side account as well allows you to freely navigate between accounts without negatively impacting your game.

Newbies will freeze too many potatoes!
Newbies actually can't afford that many slots from GB to freeze so many potatoes that would cause problems in the game. "Advanced" and "Pro" players (I don't know how I should name them... Veterans?) won't freeze lions without reason. Hybrids and rare lions will be frozen like now until they can sell them or get items for breeding them or make changes on them [..etc], just not in an inactive account.

It's too much GB, frozen accounts are affordable!
Well... you can always find a free or cheap solution, but as I wrote 100 times now, that would not be flexible enough for everyday gaming because of the account switch and rollover problems. You have to invest a bit for your own comfort, like you can have free slots in the start of the game with PVP or beetles, but you need more space later, and you'll spend GB on them. You can feed your lions manually, but sometimes the Feeding tool is useful, so you have to buy it. [...]
But if it's better for you, you will still have the chance to use a frozen side account :D

Easy stat glitch!
No, ofc. Frozen lions can't be chased,killed or sent to natural reserve, they can't hunt or patrol, their breeding cooldown won't change, you don't have to feed or play with them, and they can't be broodmothers also. They're frozen-in-time. You have the time to get items to increase their stats, change their appearance, you can get breeding items until they'll be breedable again, you can save them to be kings later, but NOTHING ELSE.

We have 2 types of Frozen lions then!
..no and yes. We have immortal lions that are frozen-in-time forever [FITF] and Frozen-in-time lions are just temporary [FITT]. Or creative players can name them to something else.

After all.. if you have questions about my idea don't be shy and ask it. I'll update the post too. I THINK it's a good idea, but I wanna hear your thoughts about this, really. Negative and positive aswell. I'm not against inactive accounts, don't think I want to start a war against you, It's just a new feature idea to make the game flexible and more easier for all of us. :)



This suggestion has 10 supports and 8 NO supports.
