Free Shop: GO WILD YALL

September 8, 2021 12:19 pm

The Free Shop is open from now until 11:59pm on September 14. We will be keeping an eye on the shop to do our best to keep it from overcrowding and freezing up. If the shop does get to this point and hasn't been cleared in some time, please ping me here in the comments! <3 There may be times when nothing restocks and that’s just because the pool of items it grabs from is empty. I’ll be periodically adding more to it, but I am human and need sleep sometimes!

Remember that any free item is a good item. I’m adding items from all over the place (Melody, free gifts, restockables, retired items, cash shop, etc). Some things may not be worth as much as others, but it’s still free.

So fun! Thanks for this Subeta Team :)

No, there will be no time extension . I actually already planned for issues (because it wouldn't be subeta without something going wrong ugh). It was originally going to be just through the weekend, but I figured a buffer day or two after would be better in the long run. It's still a lot of days of free items. :)

that is likely what it was, but also, I did catch up this morning and saw your statement about it being empty until 10am today! i had a derp moment, thank you so much for all of your hard work, and please dont lose anymore sleep over free items!! take care of you <3 we love you!

thank you to the other staff members who make this all possible too <3 cant imagine the coding it must take to run the free shop!

September 9, 2021, 9:04 am by

Imagine going to the shop and seeing communication :o a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I hope you got some rest Amber!

Yes, EST is the same as Subeta time

September 9, 2021, 8:12 am by

Thanks for the notice in the free shop (I'm assuming EST is the same as Subeta time?)

Hopefully it won't be too complicated to fix the problem so you don't need to keep babysitting the free shop to make sure it's working like it should!

September 9, 2021, 7:50 am by

Thank you for the notification about the shop not restocking. It would be even more helpful if you refered to Subeta time :)

Sleep tight, ! You have done so much!

It’s usually not bad! Like yesterday from the time we opened the shop until I went to bed around 1am PST, I only had to manually clear the shop maybe twice? I set an alarm for a few hours just in case to wake up and check the site and I’m glad I did, the shop had a ridiculous amount of items (I think 1600?) I cleared out and the site was error city. I’m setting an alarm to be up in a few hours so I can throw in items in the pool again and work while keeping an eye on it all.

SORRY GUYS

If it was during our peak hours, when there were 700+ people online, that's because the items just go super fast at that point and isn't a coding issue.

i got one (1) item, it was a nice item and i am thankful, but not that exciting over here :( i hope the issues get resolved soon, the shop has been constantly out of items since yesterday, at least for me.

September 9, 2021, 7:19 am by

thank you very much for the update and the note in the shop itself! and also for manually clearing things for the last SO MANY hours, that is ridiculous - hoping the code issue is resolved so no one is stuck doing that again. good to know you'll get some sleep! and i'll take this as my cue that i should ALSO be going to bed haha

September 9, 2021, 7:07 am by

thanks for the update!

honestly I wouldn't have been surprised if i had jinxed it 😂

September 9, 2021, 7:05 am by

thanks for the update! I was just about to blame [user=Kyocera ] for jinxing it. :)

Quoting this from a recent post I just did:

Quote

The Free Shop is a finicky thing.
How it works: I add in a bunch of items from various places to this one pool of items, generally in the thousands. The shop pulls from that to stock. During peak hours, when there are a lot of users online, the shop sells out quickly because everyone is grabbing something and even if things don&;t sell out right when it restocks it likely will once everyone&;s timer ends. During the dead hours like now, unfortunately, the shop doesn&;t have enough users grabbing things with the timer. This is when I manually have to clear the shop&;s stock you see when you go to click a box; so if you saw the shop with LOTS of boxes and then all the sudden nothing but it&;s been like 10 minutes and not many on, it was likely me.
Because I&;m human and need sleep, I&;ve cleared the pool the shop is pulling from so for the next few hours nothing will restock until I can get Keith or Bug to see why it&;s not automatically clearing out the extras in the shop when it hits a certain threshold like I technically shouldn&;t have to clear it manually but because it&;s not working correctly at the moment, it lags the site/freezes the shop. I thought we fixed this last year and everything looked fine during my quick glance at the code before opening the shop yesterday.
I&;ll do a news post later basically describing this again once a programmer has had the chance to fix it to work correctly!

ah thank you. I was about to kick my router 😂

September 9, 2021, 6:48 am by

I've gotten 7 errors in the past 5 minutes, so it's definitely not just you.

September 9, 2021, 6:32 am by

Multipass! Haha yay!

September 9, 2021, 6:30 am by

Is anyone else getting lots of 504 errors or is it my internet?

September 9, 2021, 6:27 am by

I accept 0 sP! Tormirgard Tapestry Cloak has been put in your items.

Oh my, this even exceeds my wildest dreams. I hoped for quest shop items but instead got a big wishlist item.

September 9, 2021, 6:19 am by

I just got . faints again Thank you so much!

September 9, 2021, 5:16 am by

I lucked out on thank you! <3 :)

September 9, 2021, 5:10 am by

I normally keep refreshing after it says restocked 12 minutes ago, but today it never seems to go out of stock. Everyone must be asleep. 😁

September 9, 2021, 5:04 am by

So cute =^.^=

Thank you so much for doing this. Got some nice stuff already ❤

September 9, 2021, 4:16 am by

It's been a lot of fun so far but the only item to make me laugh has been the Faintly Orange Mandible. It's so GOOFY, I LOVE IT.

September 9, 2021, 3:54 am by

I haven't been incredibly lucky so far...only 2 items worth over 1 mil so far, but I do love free items! Everything will be going into my shop once this is all done. It's only the first day...things are gonna get better! Congrats to everyone who has gotten wishlist items so far!

September 9, 2021, 2:54 am by

September 9, 2021, 1:42 am by

I found stuff I didn't have in my wardrobe in the freeshop, also new foods to feed to my pet and stuff to sell as well. I have loved everything.

September 9, 2021, 12:59 am by

Thank you! Started right off with amazing stuff yesterday :-)

September 8, 2021, 11:36 pm by

Love the Free Shop! My best find so far is

September 8, 2021, 8:52 pm by

thank you so much!! i love the free shop, it's fun to try and see like, little personal patterns in items you get (wven if it's just 100% rng haha)

September 8, 2021, 8:50 pm by

Got a Nice!~

September 8, 2021, 8:34 pm by

Don't feel bad, the RNG hates me, too. I can count the number of 1mil+ sP items I've managed to get from the Free Shop on one hand, and still have fingers left over lol

I still keep trying, though
