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.

Oh, fuck.

Can you please add a feature to remove all the items from a shop, without having to selecting them one by one? ;_; Or, if we delete a shop, will the items go back into our inventory? I'm confused. =/

This is a horrible idea. I can't find anything good to say. Ugh :/

250 and 500 seem quite low, especially for galleries, sad...

I understand that, it just feels like not a whole lot of time for people to rearrange the possibly thousands of items they may have unless they start doing it now because of this news post.

3000 = new maximum shop size (500 items in 6 shops) 6000 = new maximum gallery size (1000 items in 6 shops)

Woah wait I'm confused. So you're redoing the shops so that we can only have 250 unique items in it at a time, and non GA users can only have 3 shops? So non GA users can have a total of 750 unique items in all of their shops? That's... kinda awful.

April 7, 2016, 5:05 pm by

I'm a regular user who usually keeps under 100 items in each shop, and no gallery. Will I have to move and reprice everything when the time comes? What about the inactive users who sell rare items?

If this improves the site, so be it! Thank you for putting in the effort!

April 7, 2016, 5:04 pm by

So to reiterate, we'll be retaining our old shops but have to open new ones in order to sell anything?

April 7, 2016, 5:04 pm by

I hate you subeta.

April 7, 2016, 5:04 pm by

Oh man please don't let this inflate GA prices more I have a need

April 7, 2016, 5:04 pm by

errr......

April 7, 2016, 5:04 pm by

We’re starting off with a small limit that we can easily increase, rather than having to decrease in the future after starting large!

PANIC!!! PANIC NOW!!!! lol I'm only halfway to the hoarder ach! D: No, but I'm glad this is here, it's been a long time coming and I'm sure once we all get our GINORMOUS shops cleared, it will help the system a lot. ^_^ I just wish I could finish this hoard before then. v_v

April 7, 2016, 5:03 pm by

I think it's going to be a difficult change because the site so heavily revolves around items.

April 7, 2016, 5:03 pm by

RIP hoarders RIP collectors

But seriously, if I have 1000 unique items, and split it into two shops, how does that help anything? Will we still only be able to autoprice one shop?

April 7, 2016, 5:02 pm by

Shame, I only reached the 30k tier of Hoarder. But I was probably never gonna get the last two, and it's just two achievements. Now I have a LOT of sorting and selling to do. >_<

April 7, 2016, 5:02 pm by

I'm glad something is being done to resolve the strain onsite but 10 days is not a lot of time for big shops to try and clear their inventory, or for people who have been working for hoarder achievements for months/years n_n;
