Custom Wearable Downtime and NEW SYSTEM LAUNCH!

December 9, 2020 12:29 pm

We would like to thank each and every one of you that have waited patiently for the revamp of the Custom Wearable system. It has been a long time coming, and at long last we are reaching the finish line! In preparation for the launch, the current Custom Wearables system will be unavailable starting Monday, December 14th. We are hoping for a downtime of no more than 24 hours.

This downtime will only be for Custom Wearable related pages and sections of the website. The rest of the website will still be online and running as usual.

When we come back, it will be with a completely new, revamped CW system! The new system will live on Subeta v2, and we are so excited for you to see the great updates and new features we have prepared, including but not limited to:

No more complicated batch system!
Lower prices across the board!
A new, easy-to-use submission process with simplified CW categories!
A brand new (and official) CW directory, where you can add public notes to your releases!
Upgraded CW shops to make organization and selling even easier! AND MUCH MORE!!

Feeling hyped yet? We recommend checking out this thread, which has a lot of the upcoming changes explained. There will also be two new guides when we relaunch: an introduction to CWs guide for CW newbies, and a transition guide for CW veterans to help introduce you to all the changes.

We look forward to you all seeing the new and improved CW System!

NOTE: Any custom wearables submitted after 3:00 PM EST (Subeta Time) on Sunday 12/13 will be automatically denied in preparation for the new system.

To the hype train! Choo choo!

So very excited to see this! 🎉

Totally, which is why I added the "unretire after a year" rule to my suggestion. Thanks for the support all the same. ^^ ❤

December 10, 2020, 8:43 am by

I wish so much that rule could be relaxed too but it’s in place because people abused the system and would sell slots for a “limited” item for say 1k per copy and say they’d only ever have 5 copies.... but a month or two later they’d do the same thing. Staffs hands were tied, they had to make it a rule.

December 10, 2020, 1:27 am by

Well I've seen it happen. I've also seen people do limited releases for a few years before retiring fully. It is a damn shame that this rule will (probably) never be subject to change because too many CW's are so rare, they're practically extinct.

December 10, 2020, 12:46 am by

I've never heard of that being a thing, but if an item was EVER stated as being permanently retired, it needs to stay retired, regardless of why.

sooo excited for this

December 9, 2020, 11:45 pm by

Oh, apologies for the second ping but I just thought of this: What about items that were retired due to inactivity; do those still count towards the rule?

December 9, 2020, 11:33 pm by

Shame but thank you for answering all the same.

December 9, 2020, 10:35 pm by

Oh :o Yei, im wishing to see the new <3

December 9, 2020, 10:00 pm by

Thank you :3

December 9, 2020, 7:07 pm by

So exciting! :D:D:D

Speaking of directories (both official and custom) is there a good resource for searching for Tribute/fandom categories?

December 9, 2020, 6:27 pm by

Does lower prices mean lower prices for people that buy them too? Because I hardly ever buy them because I can't justify spending 500+ CSC on one item

December 9, 2020, 6:00 pm by

yes!! im so excited, i cant wait for the new system! ive got some CW ideas ive been wanting to submit, this will be SO much easier sounding. thank you all for your hard work!! 💖

December 9, 2020, 5:25 pm by

December 9, 2020, 4:50 pm by

December 9, 2020, 4:03 pm by

Me and have been waiting for this moment! We have so much we want to submit. qwq

December 9, 2020, 3:26 pm by

I've always wanted to get into making CW's. After this revamp I think I'll be really tempted to give it a shot!

December 9, 2020, 3:16 pm by

AAAAA EXCITING!!! too bad I'm too broke for CSC atm lmao

December 9, 2020, 2:30 pm by

yes it does, thank you so much Jessi!

December 9, 2020, 2:28 pm by

Pardon my initial reply, I think I misunderstood! Under the new system, there will only be one way of distributing copies. That being said, the previous system worked just the same. Whether it was slotted or purchased yourself as a lumi gift, 10 copies (out of 10 copies available) have been used, and thus there would be no copies remaining. This is true for both the current and upcoming system.

BUT - if you release a background this year and say it will be unlimited (or will be seasonal), then it will be okay to re-release in the future. I hope this helps!

December 9, 2020, 2:25 pm by

I am so excited, can't wait! Thank you to everyone involved for your hard work! <3

December 9, 2020, 2:23 pm by

can I ask another question? Let's say I have a BG that has a limit of 10 copies and was NEVER slotted, because it was a lumi gift - all the copies have been sold - this items still stays locked and sold out - that's right?

And if it would not stay locked and sold out - could I then get a few more copies? I will have to think about numbers of my releases, sicne I usually do a lumi BG for my friends and I always buy all the copies myself and gift them. But now after 3 years, those are on a buch of WLs and I wish I could sort of get a few more copies for new friends of mine.

So let's say I would set this year BG as unlimited - I could then get more copies in a few years? Since they are never slotted or anything - just a special release.

I do not want to get warned XD

December 9, 2020, 2:12 pm by

YAY I can't wait! This is awesome! Thanks for all you're hard work!!

December 9, 2020, 1:41 pm by

Eeeep! How exciting! I hope everything goes off without a hitch!

December 9, 2020, 1:32 pm by

hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyype

I've said it all a thousand times before, but thank you thank you thank you!

December 9, 2020, 1:32 pm by

Oh wow I thought it was right now and was thinking "Ok I didn't expect it to start THIS early."

And the 14th is STILL early. Wow!

December 9, 2020, 1:28 pm by

Super hyped! Thanks for your hard work always <3

December 9, 2020, 1:22 pm by

- Remember that say, a wig you paid 700 CSC for previously had a base price of 500 CSC. It's true that some things purchased previously will likely have a lower sell price now, but that will be determined by the individual seller as it always has been. CWs are always only worth what people are willing to pay for them :)

December 9, 2020, 1:22 pm by

Excitement overload!!! ♥ Thank you!

December 9, 2020, 1:18 pm by

YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! So excited! I am prepped and ready to submit all the things!!!!

Jessi, I hope you have lots of coffee and any kind of wrist support ready for next week....cuz seriously..you gonna be slammmmed with submissions! lol

December 9, 2020, 1:18 pm by

- Rules regarding previously-stated permanent retirements and batch limits will not be changed! I have said for a very, very long time - if you aren't sure if an item will be popular, don't put a permanent batch number on it! If before this system you said it was retired and would not be coming back, and it comes back, you can still get a warning. The only difference now is since there aren't batches, it will be based off total number of items (so if you say "This will have 20 copies on site" and you try to sell 25, you can get a warning).

December 9, 2020, 1:13 pm by

The only thing I was thinking about are all the retired CWs people paid 700 CSC for are now worth 350 CSC! Is that correct?

December 9, 2020, 1:12 pm by

thank you for all your hard work!

December 9, 2020, 1:11 pm by

Question: Will the rule about retired items be reduced in it's severity as well? I don't think unretiring popular items should be a bannable offense but I also understand people buying a limited edition item maybe perturbed to find out it's been unretired within a month or two of them buying it, so why not make the limit for unretirement only a year instead? This way, people get to bask in the exclusivity and have a chance to sell it for profit while potentials have the option to either pay now or wait til it's available next year and heck, it can even be at an automatic mark up due to it being a re-release of a retired item and we can limit it even further by making rereleases a one to three time thing. Just a thought.

This is absolutely amazing!

December 9, 2020, 1:05 pm by

Might be worried about the pawn prices but then again I guess I will see what happens

December 9, 2020, 1:04 pm by

December 9, 2020, 1:04 pm by

I am hyped for the directory. Like very, very hyped.

December 9, 2020, 1:03 pm by

Thank you ! If possible I am now even more excited!

December 9, 2020, 1:02 pm by

I'm a beginner in CWs at best, only got one on site. But with those new prices I feel like I'll be drawing a lot of things...

December 9, 2020, 12:58 pm by

Thank you for the detailed update.

December 9, 2020, 12:57 pm by

I am at work and cannot properly discuss with friends but I am so excited. Thank you to Jessi and Bug and the Council for prioritizing the heck out of this and working so hard! I shall keep my fingers crossed for a smooth and speedy launch next week.

December 9, 2020, 12:52 pm by

Wahhh I am so excited!!!!

Super big thank you and massive appreciation to every single person who worked on getting this up and running! I am seriously stunned by the amount of progress made in just the last few months, it's so impressive and you should all be proud of yourselves :)

I will try to contain my patience for just a few more days :)

December 9, 2020, 12:47 pm by

Wooooot woot!

December 9, 2020, 12:46 pm by

- Yes, everything will be changed to the new prices. In the thread linked above, you can actually find a price chart that will show you where things will go :)

- Yes, the pawn shop will be changing prices to reflect the new system prices, both for selling and buying (when it's open)

- The entire site will not be down, just the CW system. We have to take it down in order to properly migrate everything over. The rest of the site will be functional!
