Love to see the Free Shop open up for a end of the year giveaway. It's a treat.
The free shop is always a treat. Now that Keith has teased us with a "possibility" I am on the edge of my seat!
You made my holiday time, thank you for listening :)
I'm choosing to reply here rather than make my own topic. Would it be possible to "label" the items in the free shop? I'm not talking about telling people exactly what it is, but to simply put if it is a "wearable" of a "battle item" or a "book" or a "collectable card." If it had multi-uses, it could have its own category. I mean, if you get something you don't want, you obviously sell it and make a profit toward buying what you want, but it's a lot nicer to get things that you're interested in getting or maybe something you've never seen before.
For example, I never got into the sticker thing. I get the whole teamwork thing of sticking stickers on a friend, but sending them the stickers I have for them to stick them to me seems silly...but how else do you get them all? At any rate, I don't want to be pulling stickers from the free store, take the time to put them in my store, price them, and wait for them to sell to buy stuff I don't want. I'd rather they stay there in the free store for someone who wants them while I get wearables and books.
I think that's a pretty poor idea, tbh. The entire purpose of random giveaways is that they are random - if you get something you don't want, and can't be buggered to sell it, then donate it or delete it. I myself keep getting stickers and books - neither of which I really use - but generally the best option for these seasonal, especially retired items, is to chuck them in your vault and see when their value raises a bit.
I feel like this is looking a gift horse in the mouth. If you don't get the items you want out of a totally generous and high-interval giveaway and it's not good enough that the price of items you DO want is temporarily dropping because of their consistent release, I don't think further capitulating from the staff is the road to take.
I only suggested it because I don't think it would take a lot of extra effort. I don't collect food either, but I don't get anywhere near as bummed out about getting it as I do about stickers. It doesn't matter if my pets have or haven't eaten X; they can eat it again and benefit from it. Stickers, on the other hand, I can randomly stick to the albums of others, but I don't want to waste a high-priced sticker on someone who already has it in their album as, I believe, sticker counts are for unique stickers. Nor do I want to go searching for someone, anyone who doesn't have that sticker.
I guess my other suggestion would be to get rid of the stickers or let people stick them in their own album. Less hassle.
on what just was mentioned above: I'll fucking kill the person who makes a suggestion on "get rid of all stickers" I didn't just spend between 500mil and 1bil on completing my damn collection to have someone suggest to get rid of stickers. Don't like stickers? don't collect them. But don't ruin it for people who do collect them.

And on the actual topic of the free shop: from the bhh in there please? _ (Or put it back in the bhh, all fine by me)

It's in the queue for the BHH shop (and I think I put a few in the free shop) :)
ohh i wasn't too sure if it was still in there because I hadn't seen one in ages. (But apparently 2 restocked in the past week)
Anyway, thanks for throwing a few in the free shop. It's a pretty hard to find card so lets hope some surface in shops now :D

Idk how many 's got tossed into the free shop, but I'd love to see a lot more in there. I don't mind so much if I don't personally grab one, but one hasn't popped up in trades yet and it'd be nice to actually have that damn thing see the light of day since it was released.
(I don'y buy "keeping it rare" either, you don't get to toss things out for free for a few people to get mega rich off of then claim well we want to retain it's value-- it's already diminished for anyone who didn't get it for free and that item is ridiculously rare, a pair of eyes shouldn't rival the price of a good weapon okay)
Edit to add: I mean grabbing one for free, obviously-- I would love the chance to actually buy one off someone for less than 75m which is just silly.
I'm also not saying baw more expensive free things, I was really happy with just Melody items and whatnot but then staff started this game so really why put 5 in there and call it quits? Either bring down the price of the ridiculously inflated BHH items or don't even bother :T
Ariel and I are looking into messing with how often the BHH restocks again soon. We've taken out items below 1mil restocking, so that the other items go out first now.
Also the post didn't say we put every single BHH item into the free shop. :x
That's really good to hear about the items under 1m if nothing else! Not only are the obtainable but I know one of the few items I've caught stocking was super cheap and if I had it in my hand irl I'd have thrown it into on coming traffic XD
Also then your mean. That sucker needs to be token shopped for like a buttton of tokens/crystal shopped (or Hustled!) because that sucker is too rare 8(
