Discontinuation of the Trivia



After careful consideration, Subeta has decided to discontinue the trivia. The Blue Building requirements have been changed to reflect this change. Instead of having to complete 10 trivias, you will now need to have at least 250 achievements. Also please note that you will NOT lose access to the Blue Building if you do not meet this new requirement. Once a member, always a member!

Old trivia prizes will also make a comeback at some point via the Crystal Shop. :)

wow, whoever said this is like neopets...Far from it. I have to say, it is not a huge deal. They should have asked for feedback, yes, but whats done is done. Lets just move on.

Well this is a disappointment... I only managed to get 138/600 Trivias correctly answered... I really liked the challenge of the Trivias and working on the tiers for the achievements :/

I wish they'd asked us first, or at least TELL US what that careful consideration consisted of.

So very saddened to hear this. I will miss the Trivia! Some of them were so dang hard... really made me work my brain! :P Sad that it just takes a few people to ruin it for everyone though- and since it has been around pretty much since inception (from what I hear since I haven't) it's like losing an old friend. It must have been a tough decision for the team to make! :(

I'm very disappointed with this decision as well.

I agree with the user that said they hardly recognize Subeta anymore. First, you change the battle system (with tiers). You've made major changes to many quests, and plan to change more of them. You've messed with the vault interest, and now you've eliminated the trivia?

I really don't know what to think anymore. I'm not angry, per se. More like dumbfounded.

As so many will miss it, what about keeping it, but just having a small prize, plus keeping the achievement part of it, and not having it as part of the blue building requirement, that way its more for the fun of it.

Pity that it had to go, it was actually one of the very few income sources I had (besides restocking). Ah well, perhaps something better will come to replace it. One can hope. ~Kai

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted... will miss it, but not sure about the minutes or days trying to find the answers though. But it's always awesome when it's right.

There were several factors to the discontinuation. Starting from the top, there was rampant cheating and limited measures that we could take to prevent it. There were also a slew of issues on our end with queue errors and coding errors. It required a lot more resources than we feel it was worth to continue.

That's too bad, Amber :( That really is...

I thought I saw a site dedicated to cheating somewhere on Google, but couldn't remember what it was...D: Why do people always have to go and spoil things for others?!? It's not fair :(

So instead of only needing only two last requisites for BB access, now I'm back to needing three, since I'm not crazy about achievements. :/

That sucks.

Careful consideration without asking the users' opinions? DX Would have at least been nice to have a poll or something.. This is a big surprise and is quite devastating. I've been answering trivia since I joined Subeta. I always look forward to seeing unique items for prizes and having to track down the answers. But I suppose it can't be helped, I'll miss it.

If anything, I wish you Subeta would keep Trivia open just as a way to get the achievements (no prizes, just the achievements).

wah. I understand, I really do. But I...wish it could have waited until Friday. Could it not have??

As fate would have it, though I was SURE I'd filled in the trivia earlier, I had the window open at the exact moment that it was taken away. It was one trivia answer I actually knew. And I missed the book which I wanted so badly. It is this that is the source of my weeping and wailing. :P Alas. Guess I'll just hope for lots of crystal making items to be mine so I can maybe someday grab one. :)

Aw, but i was finally starting to get into doing these and earning the achievements, and the prizes were usually really cool too. At least i made it to the achievement for getting 25 of them before you took it away. Making disappointing changes around the site seems to be a trend lately, i've noticed. :/

I'm surprised something like this was just pulled down in which your users enjoyed taking part in. It would of been nicer to have a feedback discussion regarding removing the trivia. I enjoyed doing the trivia if you needed feedback
