      Looks like there's been a minor update to LK according to the update thread:
      Quote:
      Release Feature

      We have just released a 'Release' feature for your Kin! If you'd like to get rid of a kin, simply go to your 'My Kins' page, click the kin you'd like to release into the wild, and click release! You'll get a warning, so don't release any kin you'd like to keep!

      Releasing kin is final and there is no way to get them back.

      So...
          yum_strawberry What are your overall thoughts about this update?
          yum_strawberry Is this a feature you plan on using?
          yum_strawberry Would you like to see other small updates like this? If so, of what type?

      Honestly? I'm not a fan. It just seems so... pointless, like a complete waste of the developers' time. There are already options to get rid of kin: sell them on MP, sell them on the exchange, donate them to the dumpster, donate them to a user-run thread for things like this, simply "trash" them straight from your inventory, etc. Why do we need an in-game feature when we already have so many other ways to "release" these kin?

      I mean, if this is something that someone will use, great! I won't be doing so myself but that doesn't mean others shouldn't enjoy it.

      I think I would have rather the team worked on something that people have requested like naming, PvP, mini-quests, or even just a simple in-game chatting feature. I'd love to see a small, minor update like that even if it means the game goes down for a few hours. (Not days, mind you, but a few hours.)

I don't like it. I feel like I'll accidentally delete a kin because it's right next to the equip with avatar button. Also like you said, we can already get rid of unwanted kin from the inventory page.

Why is this a needed feature? I don't remember ever hearing people asking for it before cat_emo

      Good point. I hadn't realized how close it was to the equip button. I've heard there's an "are you sure?" screen but I really don't want to test that. I'm rather attached to my kin. Doesn't seem worth risking. If they have to have this feature it seems like it would make more sense to have an entirely separate tab for it... for safety's sake if nothing else.

      There's actually a thank-you thread in Site Feedback... redface So someone, somewhere, wanted this feature. Why? Not a clue. I'm quite honestly baffled.
