Masquerade 2016!

March 22, 2016 4:21 pm

Are you ready to dance? The Annual Masquerade Ball has begun and will be an non-stop party until 11:59pm on April 3rd! The Masquerade Forum will be open until 11:59pm on the 4th, so you have a bit of time to work out any contests you might run!

Migrating Masks has reopened for the holiday season. Make sure to grab a mask and put it on before you start dancing. After all, it is a masquerade. ;)

Note: Any item with the word ‘mask’ in the title should work for dancing!

For those of you that are new to the holiday, when you dance with people you receive either lounge trinkets or steamworks trinkets, which can be spent in the Libertine Lounge or the Steamworks Menagerie!

This is only the first wave of items for the Menagerie! There will be more items added later in the event.

Make sure to grab everything you want from the Menagerie listed under the year 2012 tab! We will be retiring all of those items at the end of the event.

Keep alert while dancing, you never know when you’ll be challenged to a duel by Boudewijn! If you happen to best him, you’ll receive a bag of trinkets. Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you if you happen to lose.

do you think the 2012 sect can retire 24 hours AFTER the Masquerade ends? So that those of us who will be dancing up until the very last second will be able to get as many of the 2012 items as we possibly can?

Speak of the devil, the bad mannered cad has returned.

March 29, 2016, 12:23 am by

Did Boudewijn get kicked out by security? Haven't had him trying to cut in for a while. I was kinda hoping to take a few more bags off his hands.

March 25, 2016, 9:55 pm by

Here I was thinking "Oh shit, I need to buy everything," only to find out I bought nearly all the 2k12 items last year or the year before. XD

The CARS and the SCRAP. ❤️❤️

AT LONG LAST

March 24, 2016, 7:52 pm by

I've seen Boudewijn on my dance floor something like a dozen times at this point and I'm always like "Bring it!" but he has yet to challenge me this year. DID YOUR LOSS TO ME LAST YEAR MAKE YOU A CHICKEN?!! HUH, BOUDEWIJN, HUH?!!

March 24, 2016, 11:09 am by

somehow i can't put on a mask? it says i don't have the item (gold swirl mask) even though it's in my wardrobe :(

March 24, 2016, 3:12 am by

holy fdhsjkskj I am so late to the party but have to say is the best item ever lmao

March 24, 2016, 2:03 am by

You have invited the mysterious stranger to a dance, and have 14 minutes until you can dance again!

The wait time sneaks up on you. :0

March 24, 2016, 12:13 am by

I'm glad the Barkeeper has facial features. He must be happy to see and eat. ;)

March 23, 2016, 10:00 pm by

I love the dinosaur items!

March 23, 2016, 8:51 pm by

When does the Boudewijn page pop up again?

March 23, 2016, 6:21 pm by

Beautiful new items, thank you very much, Im sure it will all settle down.

March 23, 2016, 5:20 pm by

How come the Concierge has eyes and lips but the Barkeeper has no eyes and mouth? Just wondering...

March 23, 2016, 2:54 pm by

Buff still makes intervalls longer than normal! . . . or is it an intended negative buff ... ? ...

March 23, 2016, 12:46 pm by

Bought 2 masks and put them in wardrobe and they both dissapeared

March 23, 2016, 9:26 am by

**sbq invitation, or train my pets, or accept a dance from someone. I'm a little afraid that I'm going to lose the dances I've tried to accept.

March 23, 2016, 9:23 am by

Yeah, I'm getting errors everywhere. I can still dance with people, but I cant redeem my sb

March 23, 2016, 8:49 am by

Having the Fatal Error issue even trying to remove sP from my shop. </3

March 23, 2016, 8:29 am by

This is what it said=Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ElasticsearchCommonExceptionsTransportException' with message 'SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired' in /www/subeta.net/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Connections/AbstractConnection.php:327 Stack trace: /www/subeta.net/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Connections/GuzzleConnection.php(319): ElasticsearchConnectionsAbstractConnection->throwCurlException(60, 'SSL certificate...') /www/subeta.net/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Connections/GuzzleConnection.php(206): ElasticsearchConnectionsGuzzleConnection->processCurlError(Object(GuzzleHttpExceptionCurlException)) /www/subeta.net/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Connections/GuzzleConnection.php(104): ElasticsearchConnectionsGuzzleConnection->sendRequest(Object(GuzzleHttpMessageEntityEnclosingRequest), '{"points":15516...') /www/subeta.net/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Transport.php(166): Elasticsearc in /www/subeta.net/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Connections/Abs

March 23, 2016, 8:23 am by

I CAN NOT accept dance offers, or train my pet! Fatal error what is up!!!

March 23, 2016, 7:22 am by

There's a fix for that, check my post here for more info. :)

March 23, 2016, 7:03 am by

The wearables are awesome <3 <3 <3

March 23, 2016, 4:18 am by

Cant say im a fan of most of the wears but the item images are absolutely stunning! Such gorgeous detail!

March 23, 2016, 3:28 am by

This makes me so happy. You guys rock, seroiusly. I would not know what to do with myself, if my favourite holiday of all got cancelled.

March 23, 2016, 1:56 am by

!!!!! YAY AVIATOR KIWI!!! (ALL THE EXCLAMATION MARKS) This kiwi is super stoked with this bb :)

March 23, 2016, 1:32 am by

Omg yes! I thought I was the only one who felt that. Its like a mix of the guard bot and gir xD

March 23, 2016, 12:33 am by

new fur coats? :3 Id love that

March 23, 2016, 12:12 am by

With seasonal stores like Avalanche and Masks, wouldn't it make sense for them to not be restocking shops so people have a chance to buy from them?

March 22, 2016, 11:46 pm by

A lot of times new items don't show up in the wardrobe right away! They should appear after a few minutes. :)

March 22, 2016, 11:06 pm by

is anyone having issues with the items from the store? i bought a few things (two plumes, phonographs, the car chest things) i checked everwhere but they're not in my vault :(, pretty sure i quickstocked them in to my wardrobe but they arent showing up at all.

March 22, 2016, 10:58 pm by

it is not flavor text, you can get rejected. Most people are really into the Trinkets, so if you're in a "dance with the user above" thread it's kinda impolite to say no, but if you get invites from elsewhere or in a "reject for the Achievement" thread rejection is okay or even expected. Back when zombies were a new thing (and pretty gross, even in ball gowns) there was a lot of rejection happening.

March 22, 2016, 10:43 pm by

complain bot reminds me of Machinarium :)

March 22, 2016, 10:42 pm by

I hope it is alright to tag you to ask this, lots of people including myself were wondering in the SB... are the Migrating Masks vending, at OD, like they used to? Thank you!

March 22, 2016, 10:32 pm by

I have to have all the octopus stuff.

Also, when I saw I immediately thought of Gir from Invader Zim.

March 22, 2016, 10:27 pm by

SCREAMING OVER THE CLASSY DINO WEARABLES!! Subeta you know me so well.

March 22, 2016, 10:26 pm by

i cant figure outt how to accept a dance

March 22, 2016, 10:26 pm by

Wardrobe is so strange now, and there is base hair sticking out behind my HA that i really cant figure how to remove.

March 22, 2016, 10:15 pm by

Is anyone else having wardrobe troubles? My base is a broken image--IE, the base of my HA doesn't exist, half of my items don't display, and I can't see previews. :c My only option right now is putting a mask on underneath a backdrop, otherwise it's just floating...

March 22, 2016, 10:07 pm by

Glad I put on my skull mask last night! :O Usually events like these don't start until the weekend but wow! Don't really have a whole lot of time to dance, though! Thanks for the update on the retiring items. I'll be sure to get anything from 2012 I don't have!

March 22, 2016, 9:38 pm by

I am super happy Masquerade is starting today. I was on hiatus and missed 2 years of Masquerade. So, happy to be back and dancing. <3

March 22, 2016, 9:31 pm by

Geez another error to the pile of errors. Sometimes my mask allows me to dance, and sometime not.

March 22, 2016, 9:21 pm by

Ahh, okay! Thank you for that! I just always have "eyes" and "mouth" dragged behind the base since I use whatever's in my wardrobe, haha.

March 22, 2016, 9:18 pm by

Now anything with the word mask in it works, so you can probably find one that goes with your outfit!

March 22, 2016, 9:05 pm by

Barkeep still has no eyes. Maybe he doesn't need them. Do I smell a plot? :D

March 22, 2016, 9:03 pm by

i've been on this site for years but this is the first masquerade i haven't missed!

March 22, 2016, 9:00 pm by

I found a mask that works. Doesn't go with my outfit, but oh well!

March 22, 2016, 8:36 pm by

Need to work on the mask. I went thru 4 just to get the dance to work

March 22, 2016, 8:32 pm by

You should all be able to dance now, we pushed a change that took a few minutes for the cache to catch up. Now any item with the word ‘mask’ in the name counts as a mask for the forums. :)
