Qazim introduces the Neela!



Hello, friend. Tell me, have you ever traveled the vast Saherimos?



Picturesque as the rolling dunes and endless azure skies are, the unwary traveler may fall victim to any of many ends. The unlucky may stumble upon a sand spirit with a malevolent deal to be made, and others may become the victims of desert raiders; though they search for relics of the old empire, they may trade their shovels for swords if your pockets look rich enough.



It is true that savage beasts and venomous snakes lurk in the sand, but through it all, the true danger is the sand itself. The shifting dunes and dizzying sandstorms mean that even the most seasoned explorer may find themselves hopelessly lost, each glimmer of an oasis on the horizon vanishing in a shimmer of heat before it can be reached. The noktoa, the elegant birds of prey you met just today, rely on these tricks of the sands to remain unseen, both by men and by the wyllops that are their food.



How then, can an explorer be sure to survive? Why, with a guide of course, and I can think of no better guide than the neela. These beasts, once thought to be the stuff of legends, have a keen sense of direction and cannot be fooled by a mirage, and it just so happens that today we meet for the first time (but certainly not the last) - you, a prospective buyer, and myself, a humble breeder of neela and nothing more.




What is your life worth? Surely not less than the price for one of these majestic beasts. And for creating your first neela OR purchasing your first neela elixir from the cash shop, I will grant you this entire selection of special items:



*note: at first the welcome pack items were only being given for the creation of your first neela, but this has been corrected and will now be given alternatively on the purchase of your first neela elixir

So it looks like Subeta is now becoming Rescreatu? [with the cash shop beasties/pets] A little disappointed to be honest, as from my view, Subeta is already making quite a few bucks from CWs, and, to an extent, Custom Overlays. Now, it feels like the site is becoming more and more about money, especially with the introduction of "Cash Shop exclusive pets", rather than having fun for free. What I see is "you need to pay to have something you think is cool". I see people more concerned with the latest CWs rather than focusing on the pet aspect of the site (which is quite large), and the amount of money I see spent on the site daily simply astounds me.

Why not make the Neela Limited Edition, like the Endeavor, Sheeta, and Cadogre, instead of Cash Shop exclusive? At this rate we'll also have to make Limited Edition species (which haven't had any official releases for free creation in quite a while) Cash Shop exclusive, too. Meaning you can't get a Endeavor, Cadogre, etc...unless you buy an elixir or buy free creation of one from the Cash Shop. IMO it's either or, it makes no sense to have a "Limited Edition" pet and "Cash Shop exclusive" pets at the same time.

As for those saying "OMG you guys are so lazy, why not just make 8 mil sP" and mocking the other users, well, I'm sure inflation of the new Neela pet will make 250 Credit Gift Cards inflate to even higher prices, in the double digit range in terms of sP. Not everyone also earns buttloads of sP like other users, nor time to spend making millions upon millions of sP. Normally I would have no issue of paying CSC to get sP or to get a new pet, but I lost my job, and despite pounding the pavement, I haven't been able to find a job for over two months. I'm broke, and thus, I see it perfectly from the viewpoint of those without jobs or money. Looking back, I'm extremely glad I was never into the latest CWs, or else I might have spent a lot more money on Subeta than I should.

...sooo two epic new species, and a rather exotic and attractive npc to boot? Today is a good day on here. =3 ...also, love the little goodies that come with adopting one of these darlings. Almost worth it just for those. xD

It's a beautiful pets, but I have to agree with the others that having "premium" pets in the CS is... very do not want. It's just another step in the direction of Gaia and Neopets.

And yes, you can easily buy CSC for sP in the user shops, but you'd still be supporting this trend towards the pay-to-win mentality. I'm not really comfortable with that. I joined Subeta to get away from that kind of thing and the economy is already scewed enough against people who can't afford to pay real money.

First the noktoa now this? Holy crap you're killing me Subeta. See, this is me dying. Dying from love and adoration and pet ideas.

Also I see no problem with it being CSC, I think that's a pretty sweet idea and makes them a little more special, but not as frustrating as just having a limited number released.

You've purchased a Cream Neela Elixir for 250Cash Shop Credits!

Oh... my god. This was such a hard decision. Sakooro has been a spectrum fester for so long, years... this was such a hard decision. But she is now a Neela. This species is beautiful, and the price is very good for everything you get!

"Most people moved here from other sites to escape the "all the best things need real money" trend"

That's what I did, to see it starting here disappoints me I have to admit. Granted I assume you'll be able to get it with site currency eventually, but it's still disappointing. Selling avatar items and elixirs and such for real money is one thing, because yeah you have to get paid, but actual pets is a whole new can of worms. Pets are the foundation of the entire site.

250 csc amounts to a little over 6 million sp, which honestly isn't that much.

I don't know what you people are talking about. I bought the elixir. And I got all the items that goes along with it. Pretty good deal for 250 CSC. You know it costs 8 mill for a 250 gift card. I just spent 5 bucks, and I got 5 items, plus my amazing new pet, in the color Dawn. I just recently came to find Pink a nice color, so thats what I had to do. Real men can pull off pink and so can my little boy pet, flashing the pink! I love this pet, its BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to get the other pet as well. Beautiful creations, you guys. Doing good! <3

I love it!

I have to agree with those saying a pet shouldn't be in the CS though... I completely understand that Keith and staff need to make money somehow, but as I also hardly ever have my hands on CSC, it will probably be a long time coming before I'm able to own one of these pretties, and by then the welcome items probably won't be given out with the adoption or purchase of an elixir. It's kind of a bummer.

On a positive note though, I am very much looking forward to exotic colors for the Neela and the Noktoa. :D

Honestly, I've seen sites whore the items 700x worse than Subeta does. I like the pet a lot, but i cant spend the money to buy it. That is my problem. and Subeta gives me way more to play with than say, TinierMe? (doesn't exist anymore. Don't look it up.)

This pet is beautiful! <3 thanks for the opportunity to adopt it!

I'm gonna pick up a plushie because cuteness, but I have to wait and see redraw colors before I decide if I'll adopt one. Question, is the five item giveaway going to be around indefinitely or is it for a limited time? If I want a Neela in six months because a color comes out, will I still get the book and all?

Very pretty, love it! I think the Cash Shop venture into pets might turn some interesting results - I have to say that 250CSC seems like a good price in my eyes. I really think I'm going to adopt one!

Two in a row that I love? Double yay! Grabbed me one and got the goodies. Thanks. And to those who don't want Subeta releasing CSC items - running the site isn't free. I'm happy to support Subeta if I get one of these pets. :) And that is why I should get some goodies that aren't available elsewhere.

It's a pretty cool pet... Until I saw that it costs CSC. Here's my two cents: I do not like the idea of spending real money on a pet, seeing as I very rarely obtain CSC. No offense to anyone, but I feel like Subeta has been depending on the Cash Shop too much lately, and frankly it's a little annoying for people like me. Sigh

Like many others I truly love this pet so much -strokes it softly and whispers- you'll be mine soon...

Ahem. sorry. I do not feel comfortable with the new pet being in the CS, even at the very low price. Lovely as it may be and all the items, it kinda feels...i don't know...weird. I just feel subeta pets should not have to cost CSC. Even with the items you get. The items you get normally are also sp only. Beanbags and plushies especially.

I Have to say i totally love the pet, but i wish it didnt cost CSC is all.

I'd be SO down with this if it wasn't for the fact that the sticker and other collectables were "given" with it's "adoption" and not sold alongside the other collectibles.

Got REALLY excited until I saw it was a CS pet :( This is a pet site, in essence. It seems messed up to charge REAL money to have a certain pet. The HA is one thing...I can KINDA understand charging for that...but pets? What's next?

I'll get these...with time through earning sp, NOT through the purchase of CSC. Good try though, Subeta. Yeah, 250 CSC isn't terrible, but it's not good either. And if you want the plushies and beanbags too it really REALLY adds up.
