New Shops - Gold Account Testing

April 7, 2016 4:55 pm

Attention, Gold Account users! We have a new feature for you to test--revamped Shops and Galleries!

The user shops and galleries have been rewritten because they currently put a huge stress on our database, and it's affecting the ability of the site to function.

For the new shops and galleries, we’ve set limits for how many items you can have in each, which means we’ll be retiring the Super Shop! and Hoarder! achievements. Currently the limits are as follows: you can have 250 unique items in a shop, and 500 in a gallery. This limit doubles to 500 in a shop, 1000 in a gallery if you have a Gold Account. These limits are only for unique items, you'll be able to have as many duplicates as you'd like.

Your items won't disappear if your Gold Account expires while over the limit, you just won't be able to add any more until you have either sold/removed enough items or have an active Gold Account again. You can have up to 3 shops/galleries, or up to 6 with a Gold Account. We anticipate being able to raise these limits significantly, but we wanted to start off small and increase rather than starting off big and having to reduce it.

Gold Account testing for will be active until 11:59pm on April 16th. The new user shops/galleries will be released to everyone on the 17th. Once the new shops are live, you will not be able to add anything new to your old shops!

On April 24th, all old shops will be disabled. You’ll still be able to remove items from them, you just won’t be able to reprice items or have other users purchase from it.

The Super Shop! and Hoarder! achievements will be retired on the 17th once the shops/galleries go live for everyone.

Information and a link to the new shops can be found here if you're a Gold Account member. will start pushing changes/fixing bugs on the 13th, so keep that in mind as you submit feedback. We will continue to make any necessary changes once shops/galleries are live for everyone to make sure they’re working to their full potential!

We know this will be a big change for a lot of people, but it's a crucial step for the continued improvement and success of the site, and for your overall user experience.

Quickly can anyone lend me 30k items for the achievement?

April 7, 2016, 5:26 pm by

This sounds shitty, honestly. I don't even play here very often, and even I have considerably more than 250 unique items in several of my shops. That limit sounds way too low for most experienced users.

And no, I'm not going to buy a gold account to raise the limit, personally. I'm just going to feel less inclined to log on and play at all since you're making it more inconvenient and annoying for me to participate in the site's economy. Going from unlimited to 250 sounds like a desperate but misdirected attempt to deal with the server issue.

But, whatever. Nothing I can do about it. Your site, your choice.

April 7, 2016, 5:25 pm by

You can get a good 100+ items a day just from questing, and then if you vend...the limits seem super low. I haven't even actively quested in weeks thanks to school and I have over 2k items in my shop. This is just going to clutter vaults and make people hoard in different areas.

April 7, 2016, 5:25 pm by

I would like this idea quite a bit! I'll probably have to break down my minion galleries as well. Still not a fan of this change entirely, either.

April 7, 2016, 5:25 pm by

That's...actually kind of awful, especially for those of us who have large galleries. Personally, I'm not too happy about this. =/

April 7, 2016, 5:24 pm by

Waiting for the vault limit and wardrobe limit 2k16

April 7, 2016, 5:23 pm by

Okay, sorry might be a silly question, but If if the old galleries are to be lock, are we still able to go and look at them/each others? Also are they still going to be listed on our profiles?

April 7, 2016, 5:23 pm by

I'd also like a feature that transfers my profits and sales over to my new shop - I use it to keep track of spending etc.

Also, for all the people working up to that shop till achievement.

April 7, 2016, 5:22 pm by

I'm not even actively hoarding things, and I have a gallery with over 4k unique items in it... I guess that means back to being unable to find anything in my vault? While I absolutely understand needing to find ways to help an overtaxed system, this is unlikely to be a pleasant change for pretty much any user who actively plays.

April 7, 2016, 5:22 pm by

Ok, thank you. I won't remove anything for now, then. And will wait until the 13th before moving items, I guess, since it's when staff will be able to start working on this from what I understood. I just hope that they will add a mass remove feature to the old shops.

April 7, 2016, 5:21 pm by

Not entirely sure I'm for this change. :/ Guess we'll have to see how many shops we can have and the item limits change. My gallery and Minions gallery are the ones I'm mostly concerned with. I got sections in my gallery (like luminaire) that are sure to surpass the limits and I don't really want to have multiple galleries just for one type of item. Minions is cuz I'd like to try to collect all of them at some point. :/ Guess we got to wait and see what happens, so far not liking this.

April 7, 2016, 5:21 pm by

Finally about time we get size limits.

April 7, 2016, 5:21 pm by

If we have a gold account we can have 500 unique items in our shop? How in the name of god are we supposed to earn points if we can't sell items we've restocked? Where are we supposed to stash our quest prizes we want to sell? You do realize, I hope, our shops don't sell out every day, items build up. Just what do you suggest we do with leftovers? If we divide our items between multiple shops are we still only permitted ONE autoprice per day without it costing us CSC's? This option really should be one autoprice per shop per day. This is utterly insane.

April 7, 2016, 5:20 pm by

I am sad I will never get achievement. But this does help cus I wanted to organize my hoard and wanted multiple shops to do so. So helpful

April 7, 2016, 5:20 pm by

Begs the question, of whether or not someone is going to decide to put a limit on what is in your vault. If you desire to get rid of the hoarding, that is the next logical step. Need offshore banking for items, it seems.

April 7, 2016, 5:20 pm by

MASS CHAOS AND PANDEMONIUM. Though I am concerned for my minion gallery. :c I like them all together, not spread out over three. T.T

OH. This would be an excellent time to do more with the minion zoo! Make it like a mini gallery, where people can browse it, via a link on your profile! Kind of like the plushies and beanbags, but with the ability to remove them, if we so choose.

April 7, 2016, 5:20 pm by

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo, we won't be able to autoprice more than 500 items at a time. Since we can only autoprice in one shop, and we won't be able to have more than 500 different items in there at one time.

This makes autopricing (and a GA) WAY less attractive. To me anyways.

April 7, 2016, 5:20 pm by

Please tell me this is just a belated April folls prank... I have more than 1500 unique items in one shop alone (sometimes 1800+), plus somewhere between 700 and 900 in my second shop... Not to mention my main gallery with more than 3000 items. The galleries might not be the problem, though a real pain in the ass to organize again. What am I supposed to do about the shops though? I don't have the time to maintain five shops at once! Who has time for that? I only manage to maintain my current shops because I autoprice the 1500+ items every day. Seriously, this is going to cause so much inconvenience for many users. Also, do we STILL only get to autoprice one shop of the five I'm going to need?

April 7, 2016, 5:19 pm by

I have thousands of items in multiple shops. Yes, we need some kind of solution, but holy cats this is a bad idea.

April 7, 2016, 5:18 pm by

this honestly seems kind of a silly change, what with people that already have massive galleries(ie for minions, holiday, etc)..I mean I'm all for fixing the issues, but some of these changes seem sorta moot when others are needing to be finished. /shrug

April 7, 2016, 5:18 pm by

I am definitely not a fan of this.../:

April 7, 2016, 5:18 pm by

I know that the coding is flawed and is a strain on the servers. But I am a bit upset. Firstly, I don't think it's possible to autoprice multiple shops a day with the autopricer unless you pay for the privelage (though I might be wrong). That's a bit unfair to people that rely on selling a lot of vended or restocked items with autoprice to make SP. It's also unfair to people who don't often have a GA (like me), and who might accumulate thousands of items in between times when they can autoprice to sell most of them. Secondly, some people, myself included, have massive galleries. I have 30K+ items in my gallery, and nearly 8K unique items. Even with a GA, I couldn't make enough shops to hold them all, and the number is only going to grow. I love being able to collect and display them all. Is there any way to...I don't know. Make items per page smaller? I know that the search shop/search WL function needs all the items present to work, and the general shop search feature that we use for questing probably relies on it too, but I really don't think this is the right way to fix it, if that's the issue. Please, please, try to find a way for us to be able to have large galleries without overtaxing the servers. =/

April 7, 2016, 5:17 pm by

The items will be deleted with the current shop as it is now. I would love a feature that lets you remove all items from your shop, because currently I have over 1k minions in my minion gallery alone....

April 7, 2016, 5:17 pm by

Oh no!! I'm only at 25K unique items! D: I've been slowly but surely working on this for the past few years. Now I wish I'd tried harder, but there is no way I can to 40k uniques in the next ten days. Beyond that - having six shops, but only being able to autoprice one shop a day? Is this going to change? I understand why this has to happen, especially if it's gonna help the site - but still sadface.

April 7, 2016, 5:17 pm by

What about people who are currently working on shop till achievements? Will you be able to transfer current sP in tills to a new shop?

April 7, 2016, 5:16 pm by

Does anyone know if there is a limit on how much you can put in your vault without killing it?

April 7, 2016, 5:16 pm by

I'm not even a hoarder, I just have a minion gallery with 2,651 items. So that's already 3 new galleries. It's going to be a pain sorting these...

April 7, 2016, 5:16 pm by

It'll be worth it. Thanks staff!

April 7, 2016, 5:16 pm by

A move all to vault option would be a great idea for the old shops...

April 7, 2016, 5:16 pm by

D: but the achievements ;_;

April 7, 2016, 5:16 pm by

OH, and, yes - please give us a quick, one-click "REMOVE ALL" option. Like I said I have thousands of things sitting in my shop and I am not going to go through all of those deciding what stays and what goes, whether I support the change or not. :x

April 7, 2016, 5:15 pm by

I put stuff in galleries because it is easier to organize and view than the vault. I don't like putting stuff in my vault because of this, but now apparently I have to, or make a bunch of galleries that I don't actually need or want. Dear me.

April 7, 2016, 5:15 pm by

I have 7,940 items in my shop..you expect me to remove them one at a time????????

April 7, 2016, 5:15 pm by

I have 1011 items in total.But before losing everything I'd highly prefer waiting for a staff reply! xD Thank you for trying to help!

April 7, 2016, 5:14 pm by

Can we have a way to move items from the old shops to the new shops?

April 7, 2016, 5:14 pm by

I mean I am excited that new stuff is happening...but being as I have friends with amazing galleries with 3k + items and others working at the achievements its sort of meh about those aspects.

For me though my issue is the having three total shops. I know itll be increased, but I dont plan to be a GA. Currently I have 3 galleries and 2 shops and dont exactly care for that to change. It it will though could we at least get a way to remove more than one item at a time? For those with a bajillion items in galleries it could take forever to even get the new ones set up.

April 7, 2016, 5:13 pm by

I was cringing while reading this. I haven't autopriced my shop since 10th grade..... i'm 22 now.... x_x

April 7, 2016, 5:13 pm by

I knew this day was coming. Staff have talked about getting rid of those achievements and working over shops for a while now, or at least I can remember conversations about this happening at least a year or two ago. I have nothing super negative to say about this. But this still feels out of nowhere, haha. It'll take some getting used to for sure... Hope I'll get to autoprice the thousands of items in my shop a bit before I have to start worrying about removing them. :x No clue what I'll be doing with quest junk now, though...

April 7, 2016, 5:13 pm by

Aww, my food gallery has over 1000 items in it D: Do I have to take everything out? Ugh..

April 7, 2016, 5:13 pm by

I also agree with . There really needs to be a quick removal option available especaially since there are those with thousands of items to remove because one at a time will be a nightmare. I never had thousands at any one time and removing items one by one is still a nightmare. I can't imagine the pain for those with thousands. >.<

April 7, 2016, 5:12 pm by

You will need to get a GA set aside 4/6 your possible shops to hold 1000 minions each, then your remaining two shops can have 1000 items worth of things you want to sell, but you won't be able to add anything to sell unless you permanently have a GA… Anyone let me know if that's wrong.

April 7, 2016, 5:11 pm by

What about the Shop Till Saver and Making a Living achievements? We have to start over again? :|

April 7, 2016, 5:11 pm by

You have a total of 1399 items in your shop.

Uhh. I didn't think I had all that much but if I'm going to be limited to 250 items why even bother trying to make sP at all? Also, I have 3 galleries and 2 shops. Will these be taken away from me since we will only be allowed to have 3 total?

April 7, 2016, 5:10 pm by

Oh, so then the wardrobe is finished? Ah, no... wait. But the achievements are done? Ah... no, wait... The script desaster (pusher etc.) has been handled. Oh, wait... Sorry if this sounds rude (it is not meant to!), but it seems to me like one of those never finished jobs. Must be, now, no time to lose, most important thing ever - and then left rotting in an half finished state. Unless you have been working on that for the past months without telling anyone this cannot be a thorough solution. It is just another quick and dirty hot fix. But maybe I am wrong.

I am sure there will be a solution to transfer all the precious items to the new shops. I am sure there will be a solution for those who have more items than allowed, even for GA holders. I am sure there is a reason why information on such a huge change is only available to GA holders.

April 7, 2016, 5:10 pm by

But.. but I've been working on the hoarder achievement... sob.

April 7, 2016, 5:10 pm by

Free 1 week GA would help a ton with gallery remaking.

April 7, 2016, 5:09 pm by

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UPSETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! I have been working on hoarder trying to get the unique item one for a few years now and am soooooooooooooo close..... I am really really upset at this news.

April 7, 2016, 5:09 pm by

I have a Minion gallery with 3000+ minions in it... so... what will I do when this limit comes into effect? I'm just so confused. >_>

April 7, 2016, 5:08 pm by

I think you can delete a shop and have the items go to your inventory, but if you have thousands of items in there that's not going to work.

April 7, 2016, 5:08 pm by

What about the Making a Living achievements? I'm so close to getting the Billionaire title... Does this mean I'll have to start over when I make a new shop? Or will there be a way to carry over the profits that my old shop made?
