<center> </center> The Mysterious Costume Trunk has been retired from the cash shop! We have created a new <a href=/cashshop.php?act=trunk>Cash Shop</a> page that shows not only the current trunks that you can purchase, but you can click on them and browse the items (and hover for previews!) inside of the trunks. The Mysterious Costume Trunk will continue to work as it does now, but will not be updated with any future trunks from this point forward. All new trunks will be posted to <a href=/cashshop.php?act=trunk>this</a> page only. Update: For those of you who have been saving your Mysterious Costume Trunks for a rainy day, it can now be redeemed for 500 Cash Shop Credits. (Just use it like you normally would)

love the update; especially the previews. just wondering though if the achievements for the MCTs are going to be retired, or if you will still be able to get them somehow, like by maybe just opening a regular trunk?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love the previews! That is a really good idea. The redeemable credits is also a nice fair option for anyone who still has MCTs.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

WAIT NOW I LIKE IT.

I can see previews I love you guys!

Get them 500 CSC, then.

mmm not really happy with the new news..T-T since greedy people would end up making the costume trunks expensive..good luck to that..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was just about to buy one. This makes it easier.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I DON'T BE LIKING THIS.

Wait I don't even understand it This is needless.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank goodness for the update. Whew. I've been hanging on to 3 of those just waiting for something really cool to come along.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I see no difference except inflation, now it will be harder for me to get the costume trunks I need

KYS.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

At first I was a little put off since I liked the way MCTs worked, then I saw the new preview section. With actual names of the items. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you for the update Keith. Seems like a very fair solution to me.

I meant the 5k pieces Wardrobe achievement, of course. Seems like we're still going to get MCTs, though. It would be good to redeem the 1k credits and stuff.

Also, will the retired old trunks eventually unretire and be in this new page, or will they be forever in the retired limbo?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

KEITH What is going to be the prize for reaching the 5k mark for your wardrobe now?

Okay, now I am happy. XD goes to do that

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually, I guess the 500 csc will be the equivalent of buying an MCT now. Hmm, that's not too bad. I still hope it doesn't cause some weird inflation -- the MCTs tended to be a little bit cheaper than the credits, too, but I guess not by too much.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Subeta. I love you. You rock my world (And make it easier!)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Keith, can you let us know about the MCT Achievement...

some people think its a tiered achievement? Is it? I didnt see it listed on the tiered achievement forum
will we still get the MCT as a wardrobe achievement prize? If so, I guess it will be redeemable for the 500 credits as are the ones currently in peoples vaults?

I hope you answer these questions, and thanks

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

sorta makes me sad that we won't get any more.....every time we got any new ones, i would be all happy and be "OH YAAAAAAAAY! NEW COSTUMES!! GIME GIME GIMMMMEEEE DAMMIT PAGE LOAD FASTER"...and then be told by someone to shut up. but still XD it was what made my day here on Subeta most of the time. i'll miss the updates.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Read the update.

You made it as I was writing my comment. I saw it after I'd made my post but we don't have the options to edit or delete comments here. Thanks for sorting this out for us.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the previews, and I like how we can see what's in them (even though we can always google them and see). But I liked the surprise of opening it. Also that the Trunks would be relatively inexpensive compare to an actual trunk. I think the trunks in general might go down in price, which CAN be good, but can also be bad for some people who usually use these to sell big.

I guess it's okay..I'm still deciding whether or not I really like it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love the change. I think it's way more practical and the information about each item is easier to find too. Great improvement for the cash shop area. It's come a long way since it was first opened! ^__^

I'm very glad that I only paid sP for Credit Gift Cards to spend in the Cash Shop - I'd be more than spitting mad if I'd paid real money for them.

People, nothing is retired, pictures of trunks featured on this news post are just examples of specific trunks that still sell individually in CS. The only thing retired if you like to view it that way is the "shell", the packaging that trunks come in (MCT).

The problem here is inflation...it's been cheaper to buy the MCT and open it for the specific trunk you wanted. MCTs were generally 8-9 million, whereas the trunks within them were often 10-12 million (or higher!). I like the idea of being able to see trunks and their items individually, but there are other sites that allow us to do that. This seems like a bad idea from an inflation standpoint, which is ALWAYS an issue with Subeta. Not everyone can actually afford to use real money to buy from the cash shop, so now we have to rely on enough people buying extras of specific trunks, rather than buying MCTs in bulk to sell.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Kita I dont see that achievement either

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's kind of sad. Now, you must purchase the trunks when they are newly out. I heard the MCTs inflate D= I'd also like to buy a Trunk that's a little bit older (not due to being retired yet, but still), I'm pretty sure now it will be darn impossible to get, considering how hard it is to get Credit Gift Cards (I mean buying them in the Trades with other items, not from the user shops) and that like nobody would buy those "old" Trunks like the Shaman one, the Sorcerer one or the Mermaid one (I wanted them all, the shaman in female, the others in male). Now I'm really, really, really happy that I have bought 1 trunk just yesterday and 3 the day before ^^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And what about the Achievement one? Will it be exchanged for 1000 Cash Points, or will it still be the MCT?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I will miss the MCT

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

While I understand why this was done, it feels kind of sad. Like something that's been a staple of Subeta has just been taken away. I think that's sad. Or maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah, can't say I'm terribly happy about this change either.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

3 words.

What. The. Fuck.

I see no point in this what-so-ever. Seems like extra work to me. But whatevs.. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

=/ where is the "open so many trunks" achievement? am i blind?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm happy as long as I can get my mitts on the different costume trunks. I like that you can see all the individual items before you buy.

I have one question though. Does this mean that if the costume trunks are retired from the cash shop they will disappear as a choice from any MCT's we have saved up, and that eventually, if all the costume trunks are retired, the MCTs will be empty?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YOU GUYS I JUST OPENED AN MCT AND GOT A 1K GIFT CARD JUST FYI

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And if i'm right, those who had purchased MCTs before this news post, they can still sell them as people might buy them for the "open-so-many-trunks" achievement...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm not sure how I feel about this, I liked the MCT idea, but I can see that many will appreciate the new layout, so I'm willing to give it a chance.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I would be pretty pissed though if I still had my hoard of stashed MCTs (I opened them all already). I do think this sorta screws everyone who bought a lot to have for later during the last sale.

Maybe the MCT could still be updated, but no more produced so when the last MCT is used they're gone. Sort of a granfathering if you will. /is union worker IRL forgive me

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

darn

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

haha nevermind about the order now then, if its alphabetical ;o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the preview option

Get out of my head!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

thanks

and i agree with facemeetpavement. The spooky costume trunk version may have been before blob kitty but the version where you get separate pieces and not one whole costume came after.. so.. it's after.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

hmm, interesting

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I felt the same way as

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

@#$%.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

These are all about 30 seconds apart:-

1st reaction - WHAT?! 2nd reaction - What the hell's the point in that? 3rd reaction - Actually that's pretty cool that we can preview the entire trunk before we buy it.
