Keel Hauliday 2019

Ahoy, scallywags. We'd say forgive us fer us bein' a bit late but a pirate don't apologise so wha' can we say 'cept yer welcome we're 'ere. Brunhilde had a bonny first sail, only nigh-on ran th' ship into th' rocks twice over. She be one heck o' a sprog, that poppet! We did 'ave a wee papa-daughter trip t' th' rift, but as mighty as she be, the wee lass couldnae help but enjoy th' rift mermaids. That's prolly me fault bringin' 'er back all those mermaid plushies o'er th' years. We all got a wee softness in us somewhere! Apart from Dirty Matty. He be a real rat.

Anyhaps, th' crew are back fer our yearly trade, this time we're anchorin' 'til th' end o' th' month, so nigh 11 days! We 'ave a fresh bounty plundered from far 'n nigh ready t' tempt ye. Carl be prolly still lazin' around 'n piratin' from us pirates, jus' don't give 'im any caffeine, if he's goin' t' hand out our booty in his quests we'd at least prefer he did it slow, like.

Translation: Afternoon, friends! we'd really like to apologize for us being a day late with our little floating establishment, we do appreciate your patience! My daughter, Brunhilde, had an excellent first time out on the ship, I'm so proud of her! She's really something. We even went on a little father-daughter excursion to Atebus to visit the rift we'd heard so much about, and dear Brunhilde particularly enjoyed the rift mermaids! She always loved the mermaid plushies I brought her growing up. I suppose even the most daring of pirates have a soft spot!

Anyway, the crew are back for our yearly trade, this time we're anchoring until the end of the month, so nearer 11 days! We have a delightful new selection of goods collected completely legally from all over the world and ready for your perusal! Carl is again being helpful and giving out our items in his quests, we just ask that you refrain from giving him any caffeine as we're concerned for the poor man's health. We do like it when he gets his rest.

I know a lot of people don't like it, but I love the restocking holiday shop. We only get one holiday a year where this happens and maybe I'm just nostalgic but I miss the good ol' days of Subeta when restocking was practically a competitive sport. The excitement of getting a new item and the joy that comes from beating someone else to it!

I do enjoy that most of the holiday shops are just buy whatever, whenever but I do hope that keel stays the way it is.

Ocean Depths pulls from the Freyalise. Other machines might happen to pull Freyalise items based on keywords

I'm sure that the wait time between purchases is actually about killing lag and reducing server load, rather than making everyone's chances equal.

But I'm disappointed that yet again there's always someone who has to call people babies and whiners when they complain because Keelhauliday is a huge SP sink for anyone without a superfast connection, a lot of free time, and good reflexes, and they don't want to line the pockets of the users with the most free time and fastest internet.

Give it time. In a few days the prices will drop. They'll drop faster if people stop willingly paying over 1-10M SP for items that won't be worth 500K by the end of next week or 100K by next summer. A few items will remain over 1M, but most will not.

And don't let the name callers get you down.

I had not ... okay now I'm forever going to be wondering if Gamzee Makara's name was deliberate, too.


I like the new items but once more, as with this year's Steamworks lineup, I'm wondering where all the frills and obnoxious gaudy ornamentation I live for went. And it's not that I'm unsympathetic to the more masculine presentation styles, but rather that in the eras we think of when we think of pirates and steampunk, people presenting as masculine didn't HAVE to wear streamlined garments free of frills and gold braid. I like the skirts lots but every single one of those tops could be worn in an office without attracting undue attention. Some of the colours might be a bit much for a bank, a stockbroker's office or a corporate law office, but I've seen tops similar to these at Modcloth and even at Target?

"Ma kara" means "what happened" in Hebrew and the facial expression of the minion is like shockingly saying "what happened???" I find it so funny, I don't know if it's intentional, but if it's a coincidence, it's even more hilarious lol

is it a coincidence? xD

Can we ever have even just one event where people don’t bitch and moan about every little thing? Yes things sell out fast, yes people sell the items they restock, that’s always how it’s worked.

Can we just get over it already and be happy we can all still play subeta and that staff hasn’t given up on us even after all the incessant bitching every time they do anything?

Tip for anyone struggling with restocking (on pc, can't help you with mobile LOL): put the shop on your bookmarks toolbar so you can randomly click it as you're browsing other pages/doing other things. It helps keep the shop on your mind too, since it's very visible!

Can you fix the programming that has the Wizard asking for this year's Keelhauliday items? Twice. In a row. Costing me two quests. Three if you count that I'm there for Shinwa's bracelet quest.

It's sad for me- I just seem to have the worst luck! No matter how I refresh, I've literally never seen an item in the Freyalise. It's just always empty when I try to even see what's up. umu Maybe someday I'll actually get something ahaha

The problem remains that there's always that handful who think they need everything handed to them and don't want to work for it. Is it hard to rs stuff? Yes. Are there other ways given to get the items? Yes. I feel it is fair.

The problem remains that the site is usually about equity, not greed & profiting at the expense of others. It's about giving people a chance. If not, why is the free shop 5 min wait? There's a fundamental problem of the holiday shops not being equitable.

Will fix! It’s not a speciality shop, it works like any other restocking shop. It’s listed in that area because it’s related to a holiday, but not a special shop in the sense that it has /ss/ in the url!

I came around to liking the Mola Mola after watching a let's player who also loved them. He spotted one in a underwater diving game and excitedly said, "IT'S THE RIDICULOUS!" (his nickname for them) So after seeing the new item, I immediately thought of that and smiled XD

What is the time limit between buys for the specialty shops? Is it the same as reg, 5 sec. Seems a bit unfair if it is as it doesn't give many a chance to grab an item where others grab several. Free shop is 5 min, could it be the same for the specialty shops?
