In the news it says that the 2012 Menagerie items will be retiring in a couple weeks, but is that just for the Menagerie, or the Lounge as well?

News says just the menagerie but will clarify if it is the lounge too :)

pretty sure it's the menagerie, as there lounge has far less items (without wearable hovers ;) which I believe has been causing lag, hence the retirements ) IIRC my first year here there were retirements too, and it only affected the menagerie :)

Given that the Lounge items for 2010 and 2011 are still available, I'm assuming it's just the Menagerie items.

It always used to be just the Menagerie items

Thanks, I was just wondering the same thing about the 2010 steamworks trinkets in the lounge. That's a relief to know.
