It's been quite a while now since the buyable pet slots were increased (last increase was September 11th 2014), and with the ever incredible new and redrawn pets, it's proving a nightmare to find another pet to morph to be able to get the new colours. (Those chibi experiments are an example of that - they look too cute to pass up, but I haven't a suitable pet to morph / zap!)

So, is there any chance that there could be a few more buyable slots added into the limit please? I'm not asking for them to be free, nor for them to be half price, nor for unlimited slots or anything crazy like that, just a few more slots that we can buy, to increase our pet total above the current maximum ;)

Yes I know I can use my loyalty box (I already have a pet in mind for that, even though that's not due to arrive until September :P), but allowing us to buy a couple more slots would be great too ;)

(pretty please with a cherry on top?!)

[edit] I suggested an increase in the "paid for" slots because that helps bring in revenue for the site (which helps pay towards the cost of the server space that the additional pets & treasure chests would take up), but the idea of bonus slots sounds equally good, if that would ever be possible to do!

Other suggestions (linked for ease of use):

• Bonus slot (counts under separate counter) available buy at certain points

• Bonus slots (a loyalty totem given out) for a site achievement (x people online / X quests in a timeframe) preferably in a way that doesn't disadvantage users in other time zones!)

• Bonus slots (a pet slot totem given out) for site users completing a total of 10,000 quests in x days, or spending a total of however many billion in the MC

[edit] Lazy Links Two (more) current threads about the same thing:

More Pet Slots Please Increase number of base pet slots

Yes...A million times yes. I've only got one more buyable slot before I run out. I don't see any reason that could justify this being shot down. More money for Subeta, it's not screwing anybody over, etc.

While I'd never say no to more pet slots, it's only been like seven months? And prior to that +5 we had another +5 in early 2014. Prior to that we only got the ability to buy more when prices changed or once in a blue moon.

Again, I'd never turn down more slots but historically speaking it was rare we got more (hell there were several boards begging to pay $100+ for slots that was turned down), and to be honest instead of another increase that most will max out and fill up within six months (again, historical pattern) (myself included) I'd kinda rather see the site toss out bonus slots in select times of the year.

A bonus slot could be different from the normal slots in that, they don't count towards your standard buyable pet slot count so even if you're not maxed you could still buy it and it wouldn't count towards those you can buy year round. These could be whatever price, and could be sold whenever staff seems fit-- like black friday, the site's anniversary, pet appreciation day/week/month assuming we actually had one -... crickets-, in memoratipn of something (like if Amy had been a pet petson, on the anniversary of y'know) or just when the site could use a bump in income.

That way, there'd alwayd be the potential for a + 1 slot increase and in the long run would net us more slots (assuming we go back to none for several years at a time) but in a manner that doesn't bumrush the site and bog it down.

Or more is cool too, I have one slot left but I would love to have another pony pet without using it up.

I know there are reasons against this suggestion but my hunger for more Pets is much bigger than my rationality so full support from my side. Subeta, if you want my money that's the way to get it. =D

I'd rather see more bonus slots, tbh.

They would encourage us into doing something other than throwing dollars. Have a common objective, like X users online, or X quests in Y time. Like, collectively doing 1 million quests in a pretty short time. Or something similar. And if it's achieved, give a loyalty totem to all of these who took part in them.

I'd rather have alternatives that actually get people to participate in the site, rather than just participate to inflate CSC further. And, keep in mind, I bought all of my slots but one with USD. I'd just rather see something more creative.

I thought the max was 40 anyways and therefore, I'm not really seeing the point of having more slots. I do like 's suggestion however.

Only if the time frame for let's say the quests is at least 24 hours to give everyone around the world at least a theoretical chance. If I miss out on a pet slot only because I'm on European time the air's going to burn here. =P

Max is definitely not 40 because I have 45 slots. And there are people with more than I have.

I think this is a much better idea that just throwing more money at the site to buy slots. I would love something like the "complete 100,000 quests in ___ days" because it would sink a ton of items off the site.

Or "spend ___ billion sP in the Millionaire Center as a group in ___ days" as a group goal, which would sink a ton of sP.

Ideally, a big site goal would be something spread out over 2-3 days so users without daily access to Subeta can participate. I currently spend 1-2 hours on the site daily, but I know there are a ton of users who have real life obligations (school, work, etc.) that mean getting on every day is not always possible.

I suggested more "paid for" slots simply because that then brings in revenue for the site (and that helps pay for the server space the pet takes up), but the idea of bonus slots sounds good too, if that would be possible in any way.

The "complete 100,000 quests in ___ days" idea sounds like a brilliant one (as that means everyone can participate - anything relating to x number of people online would automatically put people in various time zones at a disadvantage).

I don't want things like pet slots or loyalty totems to be given for something lasting 24 hours. I'd like something challenging, something that gives you a reason to go and log in daily.

Like, if we go for the 1 000 000 quests done challenge, I wouldn't see it as being doable if the deadline was under 45 days. It's mathematically possible within 30 days, but 45 days is more realistic.

I spent in the thousands of dollars here, yes, I could give more, but what I'd be interested into is a reason to actually do quests. I don't quest. Knowing I could get a loyalty trophy if I took part in the challenge, would motivate me into doing something else on Subeta, rather than just being cynical and complain.

Similar challenges could be involve restocking and even games. I love the MC idea, where we have a cumulative buyer. Maybe doubled with a MC-themed month, there could be a challenge to spend as much as possible in the MC? And again, loyalty totems for people.

I'd still like to see a way to fix the "missing" slots for people who used totems before maxing out on CSC slots (from back when totems and CSC slots both counted towards the current max).

We've been told that there's no way to tell who used which totems, and when, but isn't there any way we can deal with this through tickets? Say, I want to buy one of those missed slots, but it has to be approved first?

Looking at my stats I can see I've missed out of 5 CSC slots. 5 slots I would gladly pay for, if I could. Seriously, add an extra fee for the trouble of it needing approval, if you must!

I'm all for increasing the max, but I'll still always regret those slots I missed out on. :(

Yes, yes, YES !!! I'd kill to have 2 pet slots a month if I could o.o Or MORE!!! I NEED MORE AND MORE AND MORE PETS!!! I may not have stories for them, but I would love to own the pretties! Ther are so many pretties I want to have!

Pet slots have always been paid for, though, with the exception of a loyalty box (where you still need a GA to activate the slot anyway). I dunno if staff would go for unpaid slots :/

The idea of s community fueled thing sounds really interesting/promising and it sounds like one of those community things really wants (not to mention a time/sP sink lol). I really dig it.

End game prize could easily be a loyalty box so those who participated could pick whatever they wanted (and/or it could also be achievement teir related, which would prevent users from questing once and still getting a LB). Keeps people online and doing stuff and working together + achievements and a slot sounds like a bag of win. And something that'd keep people busy during a "boring" summer month.

Likewise though, pretty sure just achievements would drive half the site and the promise of any material prizes would drive the rest-- I dig the idea solo, regardless of a pet slot/lb is involved.

I'm also not very interested in pet slots, but I would 100% participate in something like this as well. :) This has my support.

Perhaps they're content with the pets they already have? IE, more pet slots will not interest them (hence why there is more than a pet slot totem inside of the loyalty box.) Though this is a pet site there are more things to do than amass pet after pet.

That being said there are people who are only interested in such thing, and thus I support getting more pet slots available to have.

I'm all for this. I'm thankfully nowhere near the limit yet (but considering the rate I've been going at since I decided, I'm not paying full price, I'm confident I'll hit it eventually) but more slots = <3

I also really support the bonus slots/event reward slot(s) idea above

Subeta is hardly a petsite lol! It's, at best, half fashion half pets.

But best I recall battling is pet related so I don't think it's fair to say isn't interested in pets at all-- just not necessarily having 40+ of them.

Regardless, there's no rule that says you have to care about pets to like subeta 8|? WAY TO MAKE THIS BOARD REALLY AWKWARD-- HEY LET'S DO THIS COOL COMMUNITY BUILDING THING... unless you don't like pet slots which in case piss off.... really really awkward -1 community.

PS: sometimes I wish I still had only ten pets. I'd be a rare richer woman irl okay.
