Minion Zoos!








Have you been looking for a nice (and humane) place to put all of your lovely minions when they aren’t helping keep your pet happy? Luckily for you, Minion Zoos are now live! You can find your minion zoo by visiting the games page under Collection.
You can send your minions to your zoo by choosing your minion in your inventory and hitting the “Send Minion to Zoo” option. The option to move all from your inventory has been removed! It was tied to minions that had stats for battling, which was not released with this, so it was not moving all minions to your collection.
You are more than welcome to have multiples of the same minion in your zoo, and unlike other collections, you can actually remove your minions if you want! No one will judge you if you have an entire zoo full of chickens or adorable food related cuties like the I-Love-You Rainbow.
You can even show off your impressive zoo to anyone you want! They’ll be listed under the “Extra Userinfo” widget on profiles if you want a quick link to give to friends. On the public view page, your minions will be sorted alphabetically. However on your homepage, you can view them by item name or time in zoo.
If you had minions in the zoo previously during the Gold Account testing, you'll be happy to find them already settling into their new home!
And if you don't have any minions for your zoo, you could always stop by my shop. I have plenty of minions in need of a good home!

Can confirm: moving 168 minions from my vault to the zoo was a pain the ass


Yesssss.
It's not the battle minions, but I'll take this, I looooove minions and haven't been sure what to do with my rather large (and still growing since I can't bring myself to frag the poor ones too cheap to sell, THEY'RE LIVING BEINGS, I CAN'T DO IT) collection.
Now I have the perfect place and don't have to feel like I'm horrible person for shoving them in my vault.

Since I can take them out again, I might use it - but not if I have to put them in one by one by hand. ... oh, and as someone else mentioned, I also have some minion-like not minions in my gallery. Hm, I guess, they'll stay in the old gallery then after all. Just don't know, what to do, once I stumble upon ones I'd like to add.
Arrrrg, that whole sh.. is freaking me out.

I wish we could quick stock our minions. LOL.
Since we can take them out, it might be a good idea... pretty please.

DAMNIT, I missed my chance to move all of my minions at once. D:
Aw well. Good opportunity to pick up lots of flowers, I guess. xD

Firstly, thanQ! ~ Mmmm can we have a stacking option? & can there be categories or a way to move them around like stickers & can there be a search bar in there? I'm so greedy, I know. I'm sorry. But this has the potential to be a great feature; a showcase instead of just a holding locker ~
I just want to thank the staff a billion times for releasing this during Vesnali. I have so many things that involve loading pages to do this week!


Are the minions going to stack like they do in galleries? Won't this get a bit image heavy with, say, 250 pictures of the same minion over and over? You know, not that I have 250 of any one minion or anything... 0:)

AAAAAAH! Finally! Finally I know what the heck I was doing when I was plunking minions into! And something to do with all the minions I couldn't pass up because they had cute names... Count von Fluffington anyone? Everything except my thirty comatose lizard minions.
Could we get it so that Minion Zoo has its own widget and shows our minions by the names we named them, similar to how we can show off our pets in our profile, PLEASE?
So no one will judge me for my thousands strong snow fairies collection? Can I just judge myself instead? lmao


Interesting, I can see that some of my minions retained their names, but only from the public view, from my editing page they have their minion names. For example, where I can edit I see my Lino just called Lino, but using the link on my profile I go to the public view and his name is Othello.

@StarShadow Go to the games page, it's listed under collections! (The image is a dancing chicken, if that helps :D)

@Amber
Thanks. That's odd, it wouldn't let me add it so it must have done so automatically somehow. But I don't see it listed on my account any place. Where do we find it without having to go to our profile every time.

I miss the naming option too, that was awesome. Probably my favorite part of the minion zoo tbh.

@StarShadow I see it listed on your profile! It’s right under bobbleheads and above trades. You have 17 minions, currently!

I tried editing my profile to add the minion zoo to it but it won't let me. Guess that's OK because I don't really have any interest in this anyway, I just keep them in my gallery. Thanks.

My hoarding minions payed off! Although manually moving 1000+ minions is going to take a while..

Moved over my minions! Pretty excited about this! I'm waiting on the mass add to move over my 10,000 snow fairies. ;)
Never make this a battle thing! Never!! xD

I'm actually okay with manually moving minions, even if only because each click is another chance for a flower
...I tried. 220, and I'm already like 'nope.' Nopenopenope. DO MORE LATER. /tenderly cradles hand, weep...

I was wondering if there is a minion limit for the Zoo?? Also my move all button is missing. Is this because i have reached some limit?

There used to be an option to name your minions; will that be added back? You know, so I can have nine cats and name them Jasmine, Dexter, Angie, Loki, Bad Leeroy, Fluffy, Fluffy Junior, Fluffy Senior, and Jeff.


On the whole, I like it. But there is a major shortcoming. Right now I have a lot of my minions sorted into categories such as Birds, Bats, Equines, etc. Without categories I really don't want to make such a major move.
Well I got my minions moved over the other day so... maybe I should put them in the Zoos. >.> Dunno yet. Dx



@Amber That would be great! I'm sure I'm not the only one who has tones of minions to move and really don't want to do it by hand (been there and done that with other items and it's a real pain)

Any chance of getting customize-able categories? (Such as being able to separate by color/species like in a gallery)
