I've been gone a long, long (super long) time. Have there been any huge, life-changing changes that I should be made aware of? I'm going through back news posts and skimming for important things, but it's been years. Thanks! :)

Well, if it's been years there is probably too much to mention in one post, but some of the biggest changes somewhat recently have been these...

New shop system & legacy shop retirement: New Shop Guides https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=19791 https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=20126 https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=20156

A new version of the wardrobe that is still somewhat in development and doesn't always function 100% (but they're working hard on getting everything fixed).

A new subscription service for gold accounts/CSC if that's something that interests you: https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=20130 https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=20145

And possibly the biggest change we've had recently, pet names are no longer required to be unique to each individual pet: https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=20160 https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=20162 https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=20165 https://subeta.net/news.php?act=comments&newsid=20169

Sorry for the long post, but there are some of the major changes that I can think of off the top of my head along with sources to read more about them. :)

Thank you so so much, I appreciate the time you spent to also post the links!

No problem, welcome back to Subeta!

Also, if you want to read more about how to do things around the site in general (like as a refresher since you've been gone so long), you can check out this pet page. It's got a lot of useful info about various site features.

You can also take a look at the official FAQ - https://subeta.net/help/faq.php

You're a rock star! :D

So many good changes, I'm loving it!

You can't name your pet anything special anymore because Subeta hates creativity and wants everyone everywhere to have an equal chance at every name ever and doesn't want anyone ever left out. It's a fucking pet name. What's next - no creative usernames? I shouldn't give them ideas.

Also greed is out of control, the economy is the shitter, and lag is back because there's a big event and for some reason, no dressup site I've EVER been on has seemed competent enough to foresee that lag might happen with tons of people online at once, but what else is new?
