Hi there!
Our decision to make Gnoobies a closed species was to create a specific background and community surrounding these lil plant babies! The reason they are closed is to maintain their design features, rarities, and lore. But, we are in no way trying to limit creativity! We are planning to hold MYO events in the future, but have put that on hold for the past year due to our schedules. You are also free to create your own plant species if you believe we are being unfair, we just ask that you don't copy the exact design/features of course (:
Happy plantin!
