Lori had a great idea about lineages and I wanted to know if it was possible with the future stats system. It still has some kinks but here it is:
You can assign a value called "generation" to each adopt as it is created. For bred adopts, it's +1 the higher of the parents. So if the father is a 7-gen and the mother is a 13-gen, it's a 14-gen.
The parents get assigned a second value called "parentGen." (This only happens if they don't already have one.) This value is written as the child's ID + D or M (or if not numbers, 0 for dads and 1 for moms).
Example: Child's ID is 102. The dad's parentGen stat is 102D or 1020.
When you go to the lineage page, the grid has slots up to 14 and places the dragons according to their IDs.

Am I making any sense? XD

Squiggler, would this maybe enable you to click on a button on your pets profiles (for example) and see the past generations? I would kinda like that implemented as well... It would be a nice add on to have, and it would definitely mean that people would enjoy the breeding aspect more as they could keep track of the past generations and, I don't know... breed 'pure blooded' pets. (Whatever that would entail on your site, either breeding with only that one colour or type... whatever )

I love the achievements and personality ideas. Not sure what the personality would do unless it affected how they grew stats.

The competition idea would be fun. It could be based on who has the best stats. I think it would be cool if it ran once a week, and members would pay an entrance fee for the chance of winning either money or an item or an adoptable.

Yup, that's exactly what I had in mind. For example, like DragCave: http://dragcave.net/lineage/r8uSR

And you can click each adoptable's image to go to their stats page.

This would probably only work if the adoptables have public stats pages though... otherwise it'd be kind of pointless. The personality would be displayed on the adoptable's stats page or box.

IntoRain was able to do that for me- you might want to ask them how they did it. Example.
