Welcome back to Subeta! I can't say I recall much of what exactly happened in the last 4 months - Currently there is an item drive to determine Babette's cub's color (based on the color of the items you donate) - the link to participate is in the OP and you can get a forum title out of it when the event ends, recently shops changed over to a new system to help reduce strain on the servers :)

That's probably all that comes to mind right this second - I think you probably missed Vesnali, Masquerade and the Great Pandemic events too, so there will be new items for you to try get? :)
