Subeta -

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hm this was disappointing to find out about, since for some bizarre reason many of the names I want are taken by lvl 1 common ruffies XD
But I just messaged an admin and they corrected the pets who had the glitch so meh it's taken care of at least.

Keith, I can understand that fixes don't happen overnight. But you know, if you would just let the users know what is going on, we would be a lot more understanding. If at the time the "glitch" happened you said, "hey guys, there's a naming glitch, please don't use spaces before or after your pet's name, we're working on fixing this problem" we would be a lot more understanding :/

It's when something has gone on for as long as this did, AND was sanctioned by staff, and then you come along and tell us "oh, so sorry, actually we're not going to allow that after all", that people get angry.

Okay. So I mailed an UA, but it's been a day and nothing's happened. I really hope I can get Taco's name fixed, because I'll seriously have murderous intent at Subeta if the script renames her, considering I /did/ ask nicely for her name to be fixed

"You are telling me that it took you well over a week to figure this out, when it was being talked about all over the site? I don't buy that. At all. How about giving us the opportunity to just be given back the potions we used on these pets, and delete them."

Yes - Bug fixes [and the way to handle them] doesn't come in an instant, or a minute. We have thousands of users, and have to think of the best way to approach a situation like this (as well as find out what in the coding is allowing this to happen)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

sighs I sMailed a UA immediately after the news came out last night, and of course they would've just gotten off. The UA I picked came on once for just a few minutes, and has been gone since. Almost 24 hours, and still no pet changes. I sincerely hope my new pet names aren't taken.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the UA, I'm complaining about my lousy luck of, of course, picking the busy one. The UA's here are awesome, I wish they were as friendly and prompt on other sites.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"Basically, it's a glitch that I've fixed. If someone told you it was allowed, it's because this wasn't discussed globally by the staff until tonight, when I decided that it isn't allowed, and to put a stop to it."

You are telling me that it took you well over a week to figure this out, when it was being talked about all over the site? I don't buy that. At all. How about giving us the opportunity to just be given back the potions we used on these pets, and delete them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Keith - "We are letting you know that it's not allowed."

What kind of BS is that? At the time we named them, we were told it WAS allowed. Now you are telling us AFTER THE FACT that it's not allowed, after we have spent huge amounts of sP on potions and pounded our original pets, some of which were expensive, in order to get one of these names?

Thank God I spent my $50 on another pet site this month, or I'd be even more seriously angry than I already am.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Kim Kim is fine. They mean pets like my Glacier Montre, " Hitsugaya". There's a space at the beginning of his name, and that isn't allowed.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I put kim kim, not kimkim...

Does that count? DX

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, everybody's acting like their pets are getting deleted altogether, or something.

Anyway, I was personally bugged by all those names in the pound. I found several names that I know Coffee has, with spaces before their names. It's probably a good thing you're doing this, and, as I said, I would be glad to be able to change the names.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What about double spaces within names?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sorry.
Nevermind. |D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

HOLD ON.
Does this apply to pets with a space in between?
For example a pet named Merry Christmas, or something?

I adopt pets with good names...

I don't think of my own.

So there goes... about 10k
It may not seem like a big deal but it is.
-throws pets out-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This really sucks. But, hopefully I'll be able to come up with some new names. Thanks for the warning.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

okay, I looked them up in the search with a % after their names and I found only them, does it mean I am safe? or maybe they were created with a space but there was no pet with the same name and without the space?

I am so confused...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

does this mean that almost all my pets are going to have ugly names

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

how can I see if my pets have spaces in their names? I adopted most of them...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What about all the pets in the pound with the space before or after the name? What shall be done with them? oxo; I don't want to look for well-named pets in the pound and come up with something like "h32jh23523j32" all the time.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Spaces IN the name are okay - as long as they aren't at the beginning or end.

I had created a pet with a space at the beginning - the new name I chose has a space in the middle Audrey II - it was accepted and changed without any problems.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks for letting us know I haven't adopted any pets from there so I'm ok. Good to hear there will be a fix soon for this too. Keep up the good work you guys do a good job around here

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hooray for staff working thier booties off, and for giving those with spaces in thier pet's names the chance to re-name...

Such a sticky mess... Then again, Subeta's still gettin' the kinks out, eh? ;D Yay Subeta! Keep it goin'!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

just done searching my pets name
im so glad i dont have to change their name ;D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So um. What about pets that you adopted from the pound because they have a cool name? And they don't realize there is a space. And then, next thing you know, its a jumbled up mess?

Or people that are away for the week or something. Will they have a chance to fix that?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Uhh, how can i change my Archmage Raistlin Majere? He has spaces in his name and i thought it was still okay

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Or perhaps, instead of deleting the name and making it instead an ugly row of numbers and letters, they could, I dunno, just add the number 1 to the end of all the names, making them slightly better, or end off the name with 'theSecond'. So my Rune, if he were in there, would become RunetheSecond.

Not great, but better then LKI29Jn3

I think the subeta staff should also go through the pound and create new names for those in the pound with the glitch. If not their names will be awful and they would remain in the pound for eternity. Poor, poor pets.

I wonder how many pets in the pound will have that ugly number/letter combination next week. Instead of the staff going through and naming them all, it might be easier to just delete the pets and send them to that great big pound in the sky.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

sighs When I restarted Subeta, I decided to adopt most of my pet and paint them myself. The first pet I adopted was Talon, and I was thrilled, as that was the name of my mage in an RP. Sadly, my first pet that I painted angelic and am training is a glitch pet, as are three other of my pets.

It'll be weird seeing her as something other then Talon.

I still dont see the difference between Strawberry Sundae and StrawberrySundae (sorry for the horrible example). It stays the same, the space it not really changing anything just make it look nicer if you ask me.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Guys, take a second to read the post. It's saying that you accidentally created a name that already existed by putting a space before or after the name. Pets created with spaces in their names should be fine, because they don't have the same name as any other pet. o.o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And I was so excited about my Pherret, Cocoa
.. and I just potioned Mint. cries

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

But how would we know if we used any names that were already used? Would they like send us a message if we did?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

My pets are renamed now.

Thank you to the staff for responding so quickly, even though I'm not happy about the whole situation.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Im glad they give us the chance to think of names we want them to change to but Id even prefered it if I knew befor I created the pets. But well, names have been changed and as long as they dont have numbers Im fine (and I even was able to come up with sorta matching names)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I so want a nitemare Feli....^.^;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Although I avoided adopting these kinds of pets, I'd personally be glad to be allowed to change the names. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well then the fish is doing its job!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think this is a really creative way to solve a problem. I appreciate you guys taking the time and hassle to go through changing every pets name that needs to be fixed.

Yay Staff!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh I saw the other comment now..I don't think any of my pets have spaces I hope not since it took me so long to find names I liked

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The pet name I was able to use hadn't been on for 6 months. Not really aware was a clitch.
I pick 3 others instead of getting random numbers and letters.(scary)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

That was a glitch?! Well there goes renaming my pet, I'm glad I didn't buy that wand yet. I always thought the spaces were allowed. The periods and quotation marks are aren't they? I have two pets with these in there name

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ken - the same thing happened with my boyfriend
He had 7/10 pets with spaces in their names - and to come up with 3 for each one...
I only have two, and I don't even want to bother coming up with new names. :/

I agree, they should just make it from now on. But.. I know that won't happen.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

There go ALL of my petnames.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to make 'spaces' a glitch, you should do it for everyone. There was no rule at the time I created my pets, and a lot of the names I chose, haven't been seen in 6 months or more.

You should have made it so those names could NO longer be created. Not punish people who did it in the past when it was 'ok'. Now I have to think up names on a whim or else you'll turn them into crap?

Shame.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Twixy: Here's the post warning you that it wasn't allowed. At least you get a chance to change things - they could easily have gone "Whoops, we just got together and realized as a group that this has been happening but it shouldn't have! Let's change all the pet names immediately without warning the owners in any way, that will be so much faster."
But yes, your pet should be fine. The issue is with spaces at the beginning and/or end, not in the middle.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've just had my pet renamed and the new name is better than the glitched one - so I'm happy about this now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well golly gee, what a great way to get greeted once my internet comes back up. :/

My boyfriend had made almost all his pets with spaces in them - he's just full out quitting I guess.

I'm just upset that this happened
If it wasn't allowed there should have been a post.

And I'm lucky I got my internet back - if it had been another week that would have been highly...
Well I'm just getting quite frankly a little irritated here.
So my 'Criss Angel' will be fine then?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think pets with ugly names and numbers that have no hope to be adopted should be put down ;_;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh.. I'm so happy you're doing this. When I never got a reply from the admin I mailed concerning this, I was worried maybe you were going to ignore it.
It would be one thing if it had been allowed from the start, but it was frustrating to suddenly see other people with two names that I had waited a while for or paid to have changed. And it made me sad that people couldn't respect the fact that someone else had gotten it before them.

Also, for those of you who adopted your pets, you can see if it has a space before it by going to Search and putting a % sign after the name. Example: Envy%
It will bring up all the results for that name. So if you see something like:
Envy
A.Envy

and the first one links to your pet, then you'll know it needs to be changed.
