TIME TO PARTY: 21 YEARS!!!!

Raise your glass and pick up a treat or two, and join us in celebrating a true milestone for our little corner of the internet. We'd love to hear your favorite memories, how long you've been with us, and anything else to celebrate this crazy day!

New items added in this post will be available until the end of 2025.

This is not the end of the celebration. Old items will come back later in quest shops, token shop, etc.

Should you trust food from the Carnival Prize Tent? Probably not, but hey you only live once (unless you become undead).

You can totally trust Pete to give you a good cocktail treat, though.

You won't spill your drink with these pouches from the Bathhouse, so they are perfect for celebrating our anniversary!

These bonbons are perfect for an office party. You can enjoy them with friends or take them and run!

You can use your easy battle tokens to grab a drink from the battle shop. The Freyalise crew would totally approve you drinking and battling.

The Recycle Beast encourages you to recycle these glasses after you finish off the treat!

Last, but not least, you'll want to visit the Hustler in Pina Park. He thought it was funny to give out boxes in boxes (or as you make call them - presents).

Yes, please, please, please readjust the drop rates for these because this is insane. They retire in a month and some still haven't gotten below 45 million SP. this is insane

Would you maybe reconsider the frequency with which the hustler hands out those gifts? I've been visiting him every day (except for 3) since this post and got not a single one. Or is it by design that those celebratory gifts are made super rare?

The Hustler seems to be hoarding those presents.

The Hustler is not giving out any boxes, so we will have to make do with the other cute gifts.

I just found your gifts and don't know what to say.. It's not easy to leave me speechless... you are really sweet, thank you from the bottom of my heart, what a wonderful surprise.. that really wasn't what I had in mind and I didn't expect so many of you to read all the comments.. I'll keep that in mind in the future... please let me know if there's anything I can do for you, including you anonymous little helpers.. also a huge thank you to .. .. and .. honestly, so many beautiful things... and it's not even Lumi...

I think tying the hustler to those 7 presents was a bad idea.

Is there enough time left in 2025 for people to get all the Hustler presents?

I've only been here for a little over a year, but I adore this site and hope it sticks around for many more years to come. It's such a comfortable space in this chaotic and divisive world of ours. (:

On a side note, those presents are going to be pretty rare if the chance to get them is the same as all the other items. I think there are over 200 items in the pool of Hustler items and you only get one chance a day. That's less than .5% chance to get just one of the presents each day. A lot of users will want to collect all 7 though. Hopefully the chance to get them will be increased if there aren't many being given out. Maybe it's not as bad as it seems though, I dunno.

Happy 21st Birthday. I've been here since April 2008. I joined after finding Keith's name on a disgruntled with Neo forum. The staff interaction and community here was lovely and still is. Thank you for keeping it going all these years.

Wow those cocktails must be super scarce. I just did 30 Pete quests (15 before + 15 after the midnight reset) & didn't get 1 cocktail. Hope to have better luck tomorrow.

I have been a citizen of Subeta for 11 years and I cannot believe that the time has passed so quickly. The staff is wonderful, so attentive and helpful, and the players are the most accepting, amazing people ever. Subeta, I hope you will be around for another 21000 years!

I remember playing Subeta in 2009, while I was in college. It was the perfect decompress between classes, I would hang out in the library on my laptop and play. The events and the amazing community have kept the cozy feel all these years!!

I have been on here for 15 years as of yesterday (pet coming soon!). Subeta has been a safe little haven for me where I go when life is stressful. It helped me through the loss of my parents. I love that Subeta is whatever you want it to be. Keith, Amber, and all the staff over the years have been wonderful to this community. I really appreciate the chill approach they've taken to running a site.

Been here 18 years! I grew up playing Neopets with my best friend until she introduced me to Subeta. Her username on this site is Blondie, and last year she passed away from cancer. I miss her dearly and come back to this site for a bit of nostalgic comfort.

Happy birthday, Subeta! I've been here almost 14 years, which is so hard for me to believe! I'm not as active as I once was because life gets in the way, but I have always loved this place.

One of my favorite memories of Subeta is the drama people tried to start over a teenaged Keith buying himself a pair of designer sunglasses with money he’d made from Subeta. 😱

I still think about that sometimes when I buy myself something fun with money I made from my job.

just celebrated 19 years on subeta! it's been so insane to watch it grow from the days of having an oekaki, to the implementation of human avatars, new pets, interacting with keith on deviantart, and squiby (i miss you) etc. thank you so much amber, keith, and the rest of the team for making this a little spot of solitude on the internet for me (even if i don't interact with anyone lol) for 2/3rds of my life. subeta has seen me through countless relationships, losses, life changes, etc. i've now been married for 6 years, bought a family car, and bought a house in july. we've all really grown up together 💕

OH MY GOODNESS!! Happy 21st?? That's so exciting! I joined Subeta in 2011 when a school friend introduced me to it during Lumi and I was hooked. It was such a massively important part of my life and to still be active today is wildly special. I still play with my bestie from time to time haha. Subeta is also the first place (and for 7 years, the only place) I came out as ace. It wasn't really well-received by the person I told, but I still consider this to be my first step in self-discovery. I think one of my most special memories was checking frozen pet names to get my girly KiraKira when names were exclusive (which was my favourite hobby on subeta haha). I also remember the restocking war, which was my favourite event of all times next to Lumi!

It's been so special to be part of this community <3 Happy 21st Subeta!!
