What about adding pet's birthdays bellow their names? I know it might take a little bit of work, but it'd be nice, for example, it's someone's pet's birthday, they might want to celebrate. Or you forget your pet's birthday? I know it might seem a bit useless, but I think it would help.

You can check your pet thread for their birthday anytime, we won't delete it
It is a cute idea, but as the name section for cats only has limited capacity this would limit people in their name choices or make many have only half the pet name displayed on their profile card.

I have a suggestion concerning the heritage of magical half-breeds and the recent addition of Comprehend Languages as an ability that introduced a plethora of new magic languages, particularly Veela and Giant.

As is already known in the races topic, Parselmouths and Part-Goblins both have special magical languages that they learn as part and parcel of their race; Parselmouths learn Parseltongue so that they can speak to snakes, and Part-Goblins learn Gobbledegook (likely so that they have a proof towards being let into the special section in the Gringotts forum).

With the addition of Veela and Giant as learnable magical languages (per ability Comprehend Languages created in the past year), I offer the suggestion that the Part-Veela and Part-Giant race be minutely edited to enable the race to speak their half-race language (Part-Veelas learning Veela and Part-Giants learning Giant) starting their first year just like Goblins can. It would offer no statistical benefit as the addition does not modify stats (unlike Comprehend Languages' 10% Wisdom buff), and as we have seen in gameplay so far there have been precious few instances where knowing a magical language of any kind has been of particular help for the sake of moderated events or interaction with the corresponding magical creatures.

As an additional argument; according to current lore concerning the language as being part of the Part-Goblin player race, even Part-Goblins that do not know of their goblinoid heritage (or who are as little as 1/8th Goblin with no relation to their Goblin ancestors) can speak Gobbledegook with no issue. This is a situation unlike that of Parselmouths where being a Parselmouth is a genetic trait in which the talent is directly inherited, causing the speaking of Parselmouth to be more likely to be a trait that would be inherently uncovered simply by merit of the talent (much like how Seers would open their third eye as they age). By this example, surely Part-Veelas and Part-Giants would be the same as Part-Goblins; they would have that language somewhat incorporated into their nature even if they didn't know about their heritage until later in their lives by theory of nature over nurture. Even if the player did not want their character to in character know the language, at least they would have an opportunity for character growth when IC their character uncovers their heritage and then starts to embrace it. It would also offer an encouragement for individuals who want to be a PC linguist, as those who would be true Half-Breeds (and Parselmouth) would have the ability to cap out at knowing 3 magical languages instead of the usual 2 granted by a double dip into Comprehend Languages.

In conclusion, due to the fact that Part-Goblins inherently know their language without being genetically disposed to it like Parselmouths, I believe that Part-Veelas and Part-Giants should have the ability to naturally know their heritage tongue since they too are of that unusual origin and are in a similar situation as Part-Goblins insofar as somehow knowing the language inherently despite potentially being in conditions that would not have let them know about their culture or half-race until the moment they enter the magical world. It would make much more sense, particularly if the Half-Breed PC is a true Half-Race with a parent that is either a Giant or a Veela directly. Sociologically, their parent is more likely to inundate their child with the culture, which would include the language (much like bilinguals in real life).

You cannot deactivate iNPCs. Once you make them they are yours forever. Just like when you make your PC you can't make another PC without deactivating the current one.

On the other hand, if you really like your iNPC on your current account but then you deactivate your current account and make a new account, as long as you haven't made a new iNPC on the new account, you can request for your iNPC from your old account to be transferred over to your new account. But remember, if you deactivated an account that was a 2nd year or above and make a new account that account would be a first year. Which means you can't transfer your 2nd year iNPC over to your new account until that account reaches your 2nd year.

On the other hand, if you don't like your iNPC, you can't deactivate it and make a new one on the same account. Once you make it you can't make another one unless you deactivate your account and activate a new one, thus giving you the option of creating a brand new iNPC.

This is the same for abilities and stats too. Once you choose your abilities and stats and they are accepted, you can never change them again, even if you made a mistake at the time.
