So every year on this day we get coal based items from the Darkheart Phantom, why the break in tradition? (Not complaining about the essence tho)
too funny we posted about this at the same time. I will ask the Mini to lock mine.
I too want my coal. It's a Luminaire tradition!
The whole point was to not get coal this year. Instead we get the essence of melody to compensate for all the lag and downtimes.
I thought it was because 2016 was such a shit year. I guess this makes more sense haha

i want coal too! so will we get double essence this year, the point is not the essence but the lack of a third item and the second item being a pink plushie handed by DHP themself.
It's not the first time we've only gotten two items, I'm fairly certain. We're just not supposed to get a coal item this year.
Pretty sure that was a glitch. That should have been Havarr's image, not DHP.
Apparently the message didn't load for everyone, so here it is for anyone that may have missed it:
</p>I'm not about to complain about not getting coal. :P I love the scarf we got today.

I did see Havarr for a few minutes, but now the phantom is back for me.
</p>
<p>It&;s Havarr - Melody&;s guardian Anyu! Not quite what you were expecting? It seems he&;s chased off any phantoms looking to give you coal and spoil the holiday. I think we&;ve had quite enough coal for this year.</p>
<p>Havarr has a special gift for you! He has a little magic of his own, you see. We all do, really. It&;s good to spread the magic around if you can - whether it be to your fellow people or pets or even to yourself.
And now the anyu is back again... Okay, subeta, make up your mind!
I think the servers just didn't pull completely. I tested it on my dev earlier yesterday but wasnt' here at midnight to triple check. I've pushed a minor change that hopefully updates it right?
We basically didn't want to do coal this year. 2016 has been a trash fire garbage year and we wanted something sweet.
[edit]
That's not why at all. You guys already got a sweet bonus for that. This was purely because we wanted to not make 2016 even more horrible.
Thank you, Amber and everybody from the staff. I agree with you. Let's bury this year and forget about it. You guys have a great Lumi time. <3
Anyu the Care Bear is chasing DAARRKheart around in circles. The Anyu's a better runner so that twerp will be caught and gone by the end of the day :P
I was pleasantly surprised to see such a cute Anyu give such nice gifts. I like the coal wearables but these are definitely a good alternative in my mind. x]
Eh. Either way, it was because something crappy happened.
Whatever who cares about coal THAT SCARF IS GREAT. also Havarr is a cutie pie ❤
2016 has literally been a hell of a year (not in a good way) so I was very pleased about not getting coal today, haha! I adore the scarf! Thank you, Subeta Staff!
I love Havarr's art so much!
I don't even need an Essence but I am thankful for this gift and that we didn't get a coal. 2016 has been nothing but a huge pile of crap and I am glad that it will be over in a couple of days.
This year has probably gone down as one of my least favorite years in a while. 2016 has been a crap year, to say the least. I was wondering why I got DHP and then Harvarr when I collected at midnight, but that graphic mentioned above is great for explaining.
Anyway, I'm not going to complain about lack of coal, especially since the scarf is so pretty.
