I missed a lot of the cool site/plot events during a hiatus... I know they took a lot of work! It seems a shame they are relegated to history! New users also miss out on a lot of fun lore!
I think it would be fun if we periodically had a 'time travel' event to allow us to revisit old site events, plots, etc. Sometimes it could even be small things like subeautique selling a retired set every once in a while- they dont always have to be huge events!
Just an idea to leverage lots of legacy content!
Do you have a wyllop? Befriend my pet Poopie!
I want all the rat/rodent things.
I would LOVE to do plots again. They were all so much fun and I have such fond memories of so many of them. Totally support this idea.
I love this idea
I believe this was suggested in the past and that it wasn't possible since a lot of the older event coding just isn't compatible with the current website code. I was there for a lot of those older events and they would make the site crash. I'm sure some of them could potentially be rerun, but it would require finding the old codes and probably updating it minimally so it could run on the current site.
What I feel could be doable is maybe having a Subetapedia page where we could read and look at the art for older events, without playing the mini games or anything. I could see that working, granted the images and text for those events still exist.
Back in the day when they released plots I was frequently busy and would just skip it so I would really like to experience some of the plots I missed. Especially the one that gave out the Ice skin. But one of the reasons they were so fun is because they were something we were doing together. I don't think they would be as fun alone.
What if we had one long time traveling plot revival year. Like how DC and Marvel are always creating alternate realities as an excuse to change things. Warn everyone in advance so they can prepare to not miss anything. Start it at new years as some time travel plot and then revive all or many of the old plots throughout that year. You could even use it as an opportunity to make changes to plots like Gunter's. And they wouldn't need to be in the same order they happened the first time because your time traveling so you have an excuse to go back and forth.
Even if the coding from back then won't work they should still have the graphic and text assets that could be reused. Just that much would save on time.
Which plots would you like to see most? My top requests would be changes to Gunter's plot, the return of the plot with the Ice skin, and the pirate/islander plot.
The Gunter plot doesn't make sense. His brother, Burkhard, became the Unliving Bubbles who runs The Lost Skeleton in the Underground. How could Burkhard become an Unliving if he was already dead because Subeta lore says the change is caused by a virus,
If Bubbles is an Unliving, how can Gunter be guilty of murder? He is, of course, guilty of attempted murder.
After all these years and the living now being able to visit the Underground, surely somebody from Veta Lake would have recognised him by now.
