Summer is Here!

June 21, 2015 3:04 pm

Have you been waiting for an item from a particular season from the Millionaire Center? Maybe a specific book two seasons away? Well now you can buy items from the off-seasons though for a higher price.

The Millionaire Center is now separated into five tabs, one for each season and one tab for year round items. You can buy items from the current season for the normal sP price tag or buy something from an off-season for 125% its normal price. For example buying a Balrog Sticker, which is a Fall item, will cost you 1,250,000 sP if you buy it outside of Fall. The year-round, such as the Darkmatter Potion or Lizard Minion Trap, have their own tab and are priced normally.

The Scale of Red Rreign has been taken out of the Millionaire Center for a short period of time until the Battle Admins get a chance to rework it. Itâ€™s been strongly advised to use any red rreign scales you have now. Keep an eye out for a news post bringing it back in the coming weeks!

Remember the time limit between purchases in the Millionaire Center is one hour now! :)

The Summer Sphinx Relief is a collection that lets you choose one summer sphinx themed item from within! Just like last season, if you can figure out the riddle regarding the trinket you will get a cool item. In this case, if you can figure out the riddle and fulfill the requirements of the Summer Sphinx Trinket, youâ€™ll receive a Summer Sphinx Pauldron!

The scrollâ€™s riddle is part of a larger riddle that will involve every season. :)

The Quest Givers are in the summer spirit, are you?

Haha I knew there was a reason I was saving my sp, time to go drop like 20mil. Is the ability to put an alert gone? I just bought something but I wasn't given the text to set an alert to buy again. Is it possible for that to come back?

June 21, 2015, 3:37 pm by

I'm happy that all the items are in there now. That's a really good step, considering how scarce some of them were. I think 25% is a pretty small penalty, though. I was expecting more like 50 - 100% extra. Guess I can't complain too much, though!

The price for off season items should at least be a lot more than a mere 25%. This was done for a reason, so not everything is available all the time and there&;s a little incentive to to the game - just a wee bit of waiting is necessary for the seasons to spin. While I approve of the antique shop, providing everything sells at a really high price, I don&;t condone the give everybody all they want within the wink of an eye policy. At the same time I guess you&;re ruining people&;s shop profits more and more every day with actions like this. There is no free market any longer, Subeta dictates prices.

^^^ this

It's one thing to offer them for a slightly increased price, but 25% is nothing for an item from the Millionaire Center in an off-season. This kills free market, and all the users who (quite intelligently!) bought extras during the actual season to resell during the off-season.

This site would be a disaster if staff gave users everything they wanted. And yes, you can get off-season foods irl for more money, but they're also cheaply manufactured versions of the real thing. Have you had strawberries out of season? They're disgusting and full of preservatives, which would be a HILARIOUS thing for Subeta to incorporate (hinthint maybe with the Hustler) to provide bad knockoffs of the real items during the off-season instead of the actual items. Besides that, you can't compare the irl economy to subeta's economy to make an analogy anymore, because this one is super broken and REAL economy is not a seller's market alone. For the subetan economy to be similar to the real -somewhat working- economy, they would have to factor in a buyer's market. The buyer is not factored into the subetan economy at all, when buying from user shops. tl;dr subetan economy is broken and configured differently from the real economy so you can't really make exact analaogies

HAhaha.

I do love so much stuff this time. The stinker beanbag is my favourite though!

June 21, 2015, 3:34 pm by

I find it ridiculous that people here argue with "this is ruining prices for sellers"... Millionaire Center Items aren't everyday business anyway and there are thousands of other high-price items you can sell. Also, selling something off-season for 300% of the original price and up (way, way up in some cases) is not really a business that needs to be held up.

Furthermore, presenting the whole thing above as "ruining the economy" is just plain wrong. It may be ruining your personal prices for some items, but now way more money will be going into the sp sink that is the MC, and we're always looking out for sp sinks, aren't we?

I think this is best to be seen not as a higher price off-season, but a seasonal discount that you get when you buy in the right season, and I can absolutely live with that.

Soooo many things I want/need for pet TCs â™¥ I am a very happy Lofty!

June 21, 2015, 3:32 pm by

Been waiting for the Avarice to come back! :D And the little toucan minion is adorable.

June 21, 2015, 3:31 pm by

Must start saving for some of these.

June 21, 2015, 3:29 pm by

That skull ! ❤️ I love you.

June 21, 2015, 3:27 pm by

yey! i see it now! thanks!

June 21, 2015, 3:26 pm by

Thank you so much for pleasing the masses! ;) There are so many nice things to buy I'm getting overwhelmed!

June 21, 2015, 3:25 pm by

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS Was waiting for the Phoeniw Quill too, good good !

June 21, 2015, 3:24 pm by

They're gone for me now as well, maybe was just a cache thing :)

(unless you sneakily removed them just now and want me to believe I have indeed lost my mind)

June 21, 2015, 3:24 pm by

Ohhh!! I just found the Florence and the machines description reference:D

Sweet. ; 3; Now I don't have to wait another year to get more of the weapon stickers.

June 21, 2015, 3:22 pm by

the only scales I see in the shop are Enchanted Rreign Scales (which are just wearable and not the booster)

June 21, 2015, 3:21 pm by

"Just because a lot of people want something though, doesn't mean it should be given." uhm except that's how you kinda please the masses? this is a business, first and foremost. If your customers aren't happy, then you're not going to have any customers.

Or you know, if you want an item out of season, like watermelon in the spring instead of summer, you pay more for it from the store. Oh look, 125% for the off-season items in the MC? That makes TOTAL SENSE. (Like why would I buy watermelon from a shady dealer in the ally for $6 when I can get it for $2.50 from the grocers?)

June 21, 2015, 3:21 pm by

I LOVE YOU. I LOVE THIS. I LOVE THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR TO GET AN ITEM IF YOU MISSED IT I LOVE THE ENTIRE SPHINX THEMED ITEMS LINE (is there going to be a fall and winter collection as well? i hope! :D ) I LOVE THE QUEST ITEMS I LOVE YOU.

June 21, 2015, 3:20 pm by

Yeah I agree a bit, I don't like that the items aren't actually "seasonal" now. There was a fun sort of excitement in the rotation of items and seeing the shop switch out and now that's kind of been killed and for me takes a lot of fun out of the MC.

June 21, 2015, 3:19 pm by

maybe it's a glitch? I can't see it in any of the four tabs.

June 21, 2015, 3:19 pm by

This is also something and I were planning to do for some time. For users that aren't patient enough to wait until the season to get items they need (books, minions, whatever), then they can pay a bit of extra sP for it. I think it's a little silly that items that were like 1mil were going for like 20mil in user shops :p

June 21, 2015, 3:19 pm by

I 👏 FREAKIN 👏 LOVE 👏 SUMMER 👏

June 21, 2015, 3:18 pm by

I just wish the new items in quests shops were marked somehow, either at the top or bottom or highlighted the 1st day they're added. It's hard trying to figure out what's new and what isn't. Thanks for the new items! Feeling summery now. :)

June 21, 2015, 3:15 pm by

...either I have lost my mind or I am pretty sure that this is the one that is a booster and meant to not be there? 3,750,000 sP

June 21, 2015, 3:15 pm by

Refresh! It was set to inactive for some reason :|

Hot sausage, that's a sexy piece of armour!

June 21, 2015, 3:15 pm by

I am really happy to see Millionaire Center items back in there year round, though I'll be waiting until fall to get my Millionaire Center trading card.

June 21, 2015, 3:15 pm by

Just because a lot of people want something though, doesn't mean it should be given. :/ More of a singular item on-site will drop the value. That's what I'm saying.

Yes, it's smart to wait for it to come in-season, but that's how seasonal items work. If you want them out-of-season, you're either going to buy them from someone who purposely held onto them because they were supposed to be a "limited" item. That's kind of the point of being a shop owner.

June 21, 2015, 3:14 pm by

The scales in there are the wearable ones! The ones that got removed were a booster

June 21, 2015, 3:14 pm by

i may just be totally missing it, but i can't find the 'beneath the waves' book under the summer tab... is it missing? or do i have to buy another item and transform it into this one?

June 21, 2015, 3:14 pm by

omgosh look at carl beanbagxD

June 21, 2015, 3:13 pm by

Um I still see the Scale in there just fyi :)

June 21, 2015, 3:13 pm by

FREEZIES!!

June 21, 2015, 3:11 pm by

You can still do the spring riddle! :)

June 21, 2015, 3:11 pm by

CARL STOLE THAT SHIRT.

June 21, 2015, 3:10 pm by

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! Love to the artist who made it!

June 21, 2015, 3:10 pm by

So people actually sinking the sP out of the system is hurting the economy? I don't get it?

Also, if you're buying off-season items for double or triple the price from resellers, you're economy-ing wrong.

June 21, 2015, 3:10 pm by

question: I bought a spring sphinx relief but I didn't open it and take the item that allows you to solve for the wearable bow item. Is it too late to do that? From what I read the riddle had something to do "with the season" so I'm not sure.

June 21, 2015, 3:10 pm by

I love the new Mil Center update, but I agree with the statement about seasonal items being hurt by this change.

June 21, 2015, 3:10 pm by

I personally think the seasonal discount (which it now effectively is) is an okay way to do it - why not?

June 21, 2015, 3:09 pm by

Lol no it won't - it'll help the economy because people will buy it from the MC and sink sP if user prices are too high. People still have the option to wait and for the more expensive items 25% extra is a bit increase, users can still sell for a profit if they've hoarded something.

June 21, 2015, 3:09 pm by

and by lantern, I mean

June 21, 2015, 3:09 pm by

I will never, ever stop laughing at the

epic

June 21, 2015, 3:07 pm by

A lot of people have been asking for a lot of things to become constant items, it was just easier to do it this way. You can get things from other seasons but you'll be paying more.

June 21, 2015, 3:07 pm by

Not to mention, this will drive down the prices of the out-of-season items, which will hurt the economy even more.

June 21, 2015, 3:07 pm by

I didn't understand the riddle thing so guess I won't be bothering with those items. But this is great, having the different seasons available. Thanks.

June 21, 2015, 3:06 pm by

This kills the whole point of seasonal items. -.-

June 21, 2015, 3:05 pm by

excuse you they are chilly willies
