Hi! Not sure I am in the correct place however, I wanted to know if we can have one more shop/gallery for a total of 7, please!? I'm just a little ocd with how I organize my stuff (and I am a hoarder, can't be helped) and one of my galleries is running out of space so I personally really really really need one more to separate stuff into :D Thank you for your consideration!
Yes please.
I'm still working on cramming 10 unlimited shops full of items into 6 limited shops/galleries. Its just not possible.

Yes please! I could definitely use another one, I've been sorting thru my vault this spring and there are... soooo many items haha. And that's just for organization: nevermind that I actually have fun gallery collections fighting for space too. :P
I am cautiously in favor of this, me being one of the hoarding piggies who owns the now forlorn and nearly empty monster-sized Legacy shop Ephemeral Concepts. If I can dump out EC into six shops, then all y'all can too. It was a big zarking PITA, but it was doable.
If we're adding more shops, they should be on a per-person basis to make sure that the servers aren't overloaded by running all teh shops all the time. Subeta is seriously item intensive.
I think this extra shop thingy should be a CS item, like the extra wardrobe slot item used to work that it gave you one more save for each one of them that you bought. Maybe even to start with limit it to one-year duration, just in case lots of people choose it and it turns out to be detrimental to the site? That way users who absolutely would like another shop and gallery and can't make do with the improved functionality of the Vault will compensate Subeta for this privilege.
In favor simply because i already have three shops but i have a few more thousand wearables to get rid of
Yes please, I just want to organize my galleries forever!
I guess this is one thing I just don't understand. afaik we can have an unlimited amount of items in our wardrobe and vault, so why not shops and galleries too? Or at least if we're only allowed a limited amount of unique items per shop which I can kind of understand then why not an unlimited amount of those? I'm a collector, I'm aiming for 1 of every item on the site to put on display and I realized recently it's impossible because even if I had 6 galleries and no shops there are still too many items so I wouldn't be able to do that and it kind of sucks ):
If it's possible and won't choke the site down, I'd rather see an increase in the number of items we're allowed to have in a shop/gallery instead of an increase in the number of shops, but that's just me.
We used to have unlimited shop/gallery size, but iirc unlimited shop/gallery size along with really outdated shop & gallery coding was apparently really messing the servers up and suffocating the site. Some people had gigantic galleries and shops with thousands of items.
I am not opposed to an extra shop/gallery but definitely a hard pass on unlimited again. Yes I know there are people out there who want one of everything. But how many essentially item directories do we need on site? Because they will all load the item hovers in a user gallery. That does have an impact on site speed.
Hiii I might be able to shed some light on the technical reasons behind this. It has to do with how often data is modified. Based on the hard statistics we've observed, shops are like THE most active part of the website, since there's constant buying and selling going on, and every transaction has to modify the data (adding or deleting items, along with other stuff like updating shop history, shop tills and stats, maybe alerting the shop owner etc). Vaults and wardrobe don't have a comparable amount of activity; people generally put things into the wardrobe and access the data (by viewing it) but don't remove things too often, same goes for the vault.

Thank you for shedding some light on that. I can understand that 100%, but then it begs the question of why a gallery that has no shop till or stats or alerting the shop owner cannot be unlimited if our vaults can? Like yes, there still needs to be an update in the data of the items getting moved about but (and correct me if I'm wrong) I imagine the vast amount of people who use a gallery use it for item display and are doing about the same amount of moving in and out as the vault in general.
Maybe a system where a gallery is unlimited but a shop is still limited? I took a poke and it doesn't look like we can currently convert a shop to a gallery and vice versa, you have to delete one and remake it if you want to convert so I feel like maybe that would work instead of trying to treat them the same when galleries take up less data and are more often used for display as opposed to all the data moving that has to go on with shops.
If only you'd been here in the early days! Not only where the shops and galleries unlimited in how many items, there was actually achievement tiers for hoarding as many items as you could into a gallery, I think up to 45,000 unique items. They removed all of that for the sake of the poor servers, rip.
I actually was, my original account would have been ~12 years old now if I hadn't left and I do distinctly remember that. And Bug explained, but once again if the galleries are basically just public versions of vaults that have item movements in and out with the same relative frequency why can't we at least still have unlimited galleries? Maybe having all of them be unlimited is a bad idea, but I wish we could nominate like maybe one gallery per account to be unlimited for the hoarders like me out there, you know?
Oh that sucks, woulda had a good number of loyalty boxes by now eh!
Those where peak hoarding days huh, the sheer thrill of gathering every item and seeing those numbers go up, very priceless ehehehe. I try to keep my hoarding in check now to keep more specific projects. But I'm learning to love the vault more, glad it got updated sorting and categories at least.
I want eight and I can't wait!
Why?
Thank you for reading my very convincing reasons :P
Disappointed your list didn't go to 8.
Side Note:
Galleries are still searchable from another user correct? Like I could see if someone has this item. But vaults are excluded from the search. Curious if that means it quickly just excludes galleries without the item, or actually Combs through them all.
Who's going to have time to read them all haha?
Yes, there's a search box just like the regular shops when you visit another user's gallery.
So then what if you could just make your vault public? Then you have your unlimited space and others can view it without really reworking thing. But again not opposed to some additional shops. Either way I just wouldn't want to see multiple ways to have unlimited storage.
The vault isn't intended to be publicly viewable. Sometimes people want to have a place to keep their items without others snooping around. I guess there could be the option to tag items as publicly viewable or not.
The inventory is another place with unlimited storage, if it isn't shared with the vault, I hope I can safely assume. I don't know how much impact on performance it has compared to the vault and galleries, but it's heavily used especially during events and the site is still able to deal with it (kind of).
Using the amount of data shops generate as an excuse for limiting the size of galleries has been a tactic of this site for several years now. :/
