Starting today, every pre-2014 legacy shop is being emptied into its owner's vault, a few shops at a time. You don't have to do anything, and you don't have to be online for it.
Legacy shops were retired years ago — you haven't been able to stock or manage one since. What we never got around to was actually taking the items back out. There are still 20,131,269 items sitting in 37,712 old shops belonging to 23,645 of you. Some of that has been in there for over a decade! This is a massive table in our database, just hanging around and taking up space without being useful, and I'd love to be able to finally retire it.
When your shop's turn comes up, you'll get an event telling you which shop it was and how many items moved. If you're not around, it'll be waiting for you whenever you next log in.
A few specifics:
- Items land in your vault's unsorted section. If you already had some of an item, the amounts are added together.
- Shops go oldest first. The whole run will take about a week.
- The old shop itself stays in your list. It'll just be empty.
‼️ Your shop's sP is staying where it is. If your legacy shop still has sP in it from sales, that money isn't part of this — it stays in the shop till, untouched. I'm working out that side separately and I'll say more once I have. Nothing is being taken away from you.
If something looks wrong with your items after your shop is emptied, file a ticket and I'll dig into it.
Had no idea, but that makes total sense - thanks for doing even more tedious work than we could ever imagine to make things better for Subeta! <3
