Hello! So I had been wandering around looking at various lorekeepers I have accounts on because I frankly forgot that they exist. While I was checking them out, I was mentally rating them. So I thought....you know what, let's actually rate some species.
Disclaimer: Just because a species has a low rating in one area or another doesn't mean they're automatically bad. I am also not rating lore or art of the species, only purely mechanical aspects.
I am also rating them on a out of 5 rating scale. Un
What I am rating are as follows:
Affordability(adopts) - How affordable official adopts appear to be(0 being that you can expect to pay close to 4 digit sums, 5 being that the adopts hover around 2 digit sums in IRL currency)
Afordability(MYOS) - How affordable MYOs are(See above, however, this will also look at pecies currency, too)
Ease of entry - How easy it is to join in (0 being that you could take 6 or more months to get a character without buying an adopt, 5 being that you're able to get a MYO almost immediately)
Prompt payouts - How balanced the payouts for prompts are (0 being that there's no prompts at all, 5 being that prompts are balanced)
Art payouts - How decent art payouts are outside of prompt art(0 being that there' no art payout outside prompt art, 5 being that they're generous)
Ease of use - How easy it is to participate(0 being that onboarding is complex or confusing, 5 being that your grandma could figure it out)
Ease of voiding - How easy it is to get a character taken out of the species(0 being that you cannot void your characters at all, 5 being that you can easily take your characters out without doing much more than asking they get deleted from the species databanks)
Activities - If there's any activities outside of doing prompts or if there's events. (0 being no events or non-art activities, 5 being that there's frequent, balanced events or non art activities)
I may also evaluate a category at a 0/5 if there is no data at all in that category.
Any notes will be further thoughts on the above categories.
The sheet may change as I figure out better ways for it to be usable a a look-up.
What I need to rate your species is as follows
Species/group name: (If a multispecies group, please list group)
Species openness: (Open, closed, semi. use semi if there's a mix of open and closed species)
Link: (If multiple, please label what type.)
Age rating: (The minimum age someone needs to be to join)
Species type: (Feral/anthro/humanoid. Use mixed if there's multiple body plans or multipl types of species)
Tags: (Any short phrases/words that could describe your species, including TWs)
You must own the species you're posting for reveiw. I will not reveiw a species that is posted here by a third party.
If your species has anything that you need to be a member to see, let me know. In those cases, I may need to join in order to gather the needed data. Do not send me back end data, as the data gathered must be available to the average FTO.
To anyone hosting a species directory: Just shoot me a message if you want to use the data from my reveiwing
Note: Especially with a new species, feel free to ask for a reevaluation after a few months. Any species has room to grow and I'm evaluating only one the state of the species when started out.

I think you're misunderstanding me a bit, here. (I'm not upset, by the way. I think we're just having communication issues. And this is in no way to get you to change your mind or how you run things!) And I apologise for more writing here.
Basically, the point of this is moreso to have people b able to look at a glance at whether they can easily get into a species before they actually get into reading lore or end up having accounts on multiple different lorekeepers they let rot(like what inspired me to make this thread). I see no issue with putting a lore-heavy species on my lil spreadsheet, it's just that the focus would be showing the things that will make or break whether or not someone will see it worth sticking around. I've noticed that, at least with myself, when I would join species, I'd find myself going for lore and then finding out that the actual cost of onboarding or ease of actually understanding how the species work made the species not a good fit for me.
A couple of the species already on the sheet are actually run more on discord, though I try to ask before I join them because of the server limit and the fact tht I personally do not participate in closed species.
So, basically, when I was giving you word salad last night, I was just asking for basic terms that would hook people in(And for some, seeing a species tagged lore heavy is a huge holy grail because with closed species in particular there's a tendency to undercook the lore). Think of it this way: The basic terms are what draw interest, the lore and how easily they can get a character is what gets most people people in the door, and the mechanics is what keeps interest for most people.
Basically, berevity is your friend when advertising.
I can definitely clarify things more in the original post.
this should be fun ^^

A note, our species launch is still upcoming, so the adopts have not been released. As of now, I believe we’ve only done raffles and one OTA for designs.
Oh, this makes a lot more sense now than it did when I was sleep deprived lmao -
Thank you for clarifying, though! I’ll be sure to limit lore-dumping whenever I next advertise on Toyhouse, or similar threads like these (if I do)! For costs, as most interactions occur on Discord or Instagram; 99% of adoptables do not have monetary cost, and if they do, that is on the designer that set the cost of the adoptable! For instance, traits don’t have monetary value, as do MYOs of higher rarities. The species currency can’t be traded for money either. I hope that answers at least part of your inquiry!
Thank you for being patient with me, by the way, and I’m glad I’m (hopefully?) not advertising way off whack (false advertising). The tags are (I’ll probably resubmit the post): semi-open species, mammalian species, draconic species, ARPG, RPG, lore-heavy
So you want me to add your species? And is it okay if I hop into the discord server temporarily to scope it out to get a better idea of what to take note of?
And to be fair on you, part of the problem was probably cause my first response was written when I was half-asleep. XD
SpaceHyena I would appreciate that, now that I know I’m not doing something wrong nor self advertising! :D
Feel free to hop into the discord server to scope it out, take notes, complete your observations, ect!
I think we were both half asleep because I remember sending the response to you and slowly nodding off at the same time x’D
