The source of the much rumoured pets has finally been revealed: starting in July to get them in North America you'll be buying Frito-Lay multipacks. How you'll get them in other parts of the world is currently unknown.

These "Skylanders Sidekicks" work in-game just like the Magic Items that you get with Adventure Packs and they'll follow your Skylanders around like a pet.

Their names are "Whisper Elf", "Trigger Snappy", "Gill Runt", and "Terrabite".

New Limits Activated
3:03 PM - 01/04/2012 - by dark52
Just to let you know, the new limits mentioned in the previous news post have now been activated. The PM Inbox is now limited to 500, the Sent folder only records the last 100 PMs sent, and Guestbooks are trimmed to the 500 newest posts.

And as a reminder, if your inbox is still over 500 messages on the 1st of May the oldest messages will be deleted to reduce you to 500.

New Limits Notice
7:37 PM - 01/03/2012 - by dark52
Early last year I mentioned that I was planning on adding in new limits to guestbook sizes and the number of Private Messages you can store, these will finally start to go into effect from April 1st. Here are the details:

Guestbooks will have a maximum number of posts, that number will be 500. This limit will function simply by new posts pushing out old ones when your guestbook reaches the maximum, there is no micro management required. Of course you will still be able to delete individual messages as well as wipe out the entire lot in one go if you want to.

The Private Messaging function will too be given a new limit, you will be able to store up to 500 PMs in your inbox and you will only be able to see your last 100 sent messages. If your inbox is full you will stop receiving new PMs until you reduce the number to below the limit again. A counter will appear in your inbox from today but the actual restrictions will not take effect until April 1st, meaning that for the moment you can still use the PM system as normal even if you are way over 500.

To help manage this a new feature for PMs goes live today that lets you "bookmark" a message which will then be viewable in the Bookmarks folder, these messages will still count towards your inbox limit but are protected from accidental deletion. To delete a bookmarked message you must first unbookmark it. This feature can also be used to protect individual sent messages from being removed, again these saved messages will still count as part of your 100 limit but will not be automatically deleted like the other sent messages. There is also a new delete button that can clear out your entire inbox (except bookmarked messages).

If you are at or above the 500 PM limit on April 1st you will simply be unable to receive new messages, but if you are still above it on the 1st of May your inbox will be reduced to the newest 500 messages. Sent messages will be truncated on April 1st. The process will of course take into account any bookmarks you've made when doing so.
