[font=Verdana]I'm not sure if this is where I should post this or not. If not, feel free to move to the correct area? So I was going through the achievements, seeing what I needed vs what I had. And I saw that there's this achievement:[/font]

Quote
Super User!
Be online when there are 2,000 or more users!

[font=Verdana]I've been back for a while now from a super long, involuntary hiatus, and sadly, I've not seen 2,000 or more users online at a time. The most I've seen is like 500+ users when there's Holiday events going on. Is it possible to look into this and see about lowering the amount on the requirement? Thank you in advance! ❤️[/font]

First, your type is incredibly difficult for me to read. My background's gray for my own visual impairments, the purple isn't at all helping.

Secondly, the achievement is several years old and I'm not sure why it's still a thing and hasn't ultimately been retired. We haven't had 2,000 users on since around the time the achievement was introduced and the couple site crashes it caused.

[font=Verdana] Apologies for making it difficult for you to read. I have taken away the purple and changed the font type.

Also, I didn't realize it was several years old. I understand that it should (and could possibly) end up retired, but I wonder if maybe it can just be adjusted to a reasonable number (more like a median number, from the overall amount of people who get online during the Holidays/Events) so that those who enjoy grinding and going after achievements may get the Super User title that comes along with the achievement? As to the site crashes it caused, perhaps the lower amount would help prevent site crashes, but still allow users to be able to get the achievement for the forum title it brings? As I thought I saw an achievement for having x-amount of Forum Titles as well? ❤️[/font]

I truly appreciate that, thank you. <3

That would be something for the suggestion boards, I personally have no qualms with lowering the requirement since it would also get members back onto the site and new ones coming in. It doesn't seem to have many downsides even though I was around on here when the achievement first came out and the crashes were... something.

I don't think there's one for having X amount of titles, but here's the Subeta Wiki page with most of them, but it's six years out of date. Again, I'm not sure, but if you want to ask someone more versed in Subeta than I, go for it. XD

I think we could lower it 1000? We only see those kind of numbers during holidays but at least it's achievable.

I already have the achievement, but I also support lowering it to a more reasonable place, maybe 1000. I think it should still be "hard" to achieve, not something that happens frequently, but I would like to see it lowered so it's at least attainable by folks with the user counts we have these days.

There also IS an achievement for forum titles, it's called Title Collector, and the top tier is 150 titles.

I too already have the achievement, but would definitely support lowering it to 1000. Back in the day 2000 was barely achievable, it only happened a few times as it was. But its been years since I even saw 1000 users on all at once. I think 1000 is as achievable now as 2000 was back when this achievement was first introduced.

I also wouldn't mind having the requirement lowered. I already have the achievement myself, but yeah it has been a super long time since it's been anywhere close to 2,000. I have seen it get to around 900 during recent events I think, so at least that would be attainable if people are able to get some of their friends to come back online for a bit or something.

i agree with all the suggestions for 1000! already have the achievement myself but i think i only saw it happen once or twice overall. i think i've seen it get to like 800 during events, so 1000 seems more possible.

This seems like something that could still be possible with a coordinated effort. I think it was meant to be a social thing to begin with, so it would be in the spirit of the achievement to organize a player-run event and get everyone to log on at a predetermined time.

If that still isn't enough, then maybe consider lowering the requirement. But I don't see a reason to lower the requirement unless it's really proven to be impossible.

In the dawn of ages, shortly after the achievement first came out, I participated in a group effort to get 2K. We tried multiple times. Gathered up some pretty decent prizes, used billboards and such to advertise, talked to people all over. Redoubled our efforts when the first attempt failed and we could never make it work. If it wasn't possible then, when we regularly had 1-1.5K users online, I really don't see it being possible now.

I've got both Forum Title Collector and Super User. The Super User Achievement took some time to get though. I had to wait until something big was happening on Subeta to get it. I can't remember now what it was. I haven't seen 2,000 users online in a long time now. Maybe around Masquerade, Morostide, Subeta's Anniversary, Luminaire, there will be 2,000 users? New Years used to be a good day for the numbers but now that getting New Years Tokens has been made easier and a week long event users have slimmed out a bit then too.

I don't even remember getting this achievement but I have it. I fondly remember the old days of Club Penguin, where we'd run around advertising "COME TIP THE ICEBERG" during the anniversary celebration lmao. I'd support lowering it to 1000. During events we regularly get above 800 people on at a time. It'd be a great collaboration to get 200 more people to all pop online to attempt to hit 1000. Get a ping group going, people on Discord get something going over there; we can make a consistent effort to reach 1000 every event to give more people a chance. Especially since we've got users all across the globe, I think it'd be great to make it possible to complete without too much hassle.

I remember it was a massive coordinated effort to get the 2000 user title way back when I got it. Sadly, the user population has decayed over the last few years due to the lack of plot events, meet-ups, etc that could drive a user base to increase. There are user spikes during seasonal events, but I don't think I've even seen 1000 users online all at once in a very long time.

I don't mind the requirement being lowered, but we crash and burn with 500 users on. I think if the servers get improved and stress-testing is needed, reissue the achievement with lower tiers, e.g. 500, 750, 1000. But i'm still iffy on basically encouraging people to crash the site as long as it still does a fine job of that on its own haha

We crashed and burned hardcore on our way to get 2000. Like, it never was peachy to get to 2000.

I got this achievement a decade ago and I agree with lowering it to 1k. I know it's not a great look for the site to admit it's lost so many players, but be realistic for the new players who have joined since then.

I remember when this came out! It was definitely difficult to get to 2k users online at one time and that was at Subeta's peak. 2k definitely seems to be impossible. The site slows down way too much at even 600+ people; I can't imagine it could handle 2k active users at one time. Maybe I'm wrong but when we get errors and downtime with 500-600 people during events I don't think quadrupling the load on the servers would work.

Support for lowering it to 1k. That might be achievable.

I will love you forever if you trade me:

I have never seen the site breach 1500 much less 2000 so I agree that it might be good to lower the total. And I like the tiered idea people have floated!
