Catherine,

Why do you and the team feel the need to retire some coats? Do they clog up the system? I cannot imagine what reason there could be to justify it.
How do new players complete there Tome? Or does this force them to buy from overpriced markets?
What about those of us that like the coats you are planning to retire? Does this force us to meepet more roos?
What about players trying to get multiple traits into a specific coat? Months of hard (and expensive) work breeding will be wasted.
When the nocurnals come out, how do we breed the non exixtant coats with the new roos? Again we have to spend more money to buy the retired coats.

Please could you let us know why coats need to be retired from the game, just as you seem to have got it working right?
