<center> </center> The Mysterious Costume Trunk has been retired from the cash shop! We have created a new <a href=/cashshop.php?act=trunk>Cash Shop</a> page that shows not only the current trunks that you can purchase, but you can click on them and browse the items (and hover for previews!) inside of the trunks. The Mysterious Costume Trunk will continue to work as it does now, but will not be updated with any future trunks from this point forward. All new trunks will be posted to <a href=/cashshop.php?act=trunk>this</a> page only. Update: For those of you who have been saving your Mysterious Costume Trunks for a rainy day, it can now be redeemed for 500 Cash Shop Credits. (Just use it like you normally would)

I don'T like the idea... in the past I was able to send a MTC as a gift and the User who got it could change what he want. Now I have to ask. I can't buy 10 Trunks and put it in my vault when I have the cash- I only can buy the one I want. Maybe you change your mind about this idea... it's like the donations. You don'T put the items in the donations in the shop without the package. For the users it's the better way to choose AFTER buying...

So if he decided to take and make the pretty ballerina a MCT you wouldn't get it from the MCT you'd have to buy it from the shop as is make sense? x:

^This. It's a special shop for costumes. I'm sure we'll get more, and it also seems like retired ones are brought back.

And maybe it'll be a long time before we get anything, but that's okay because there's a lot to get already! lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Okay why are there four of the same thing in there? A couple hours ago I saw three of each. Isn't one enough?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am not a fan of this change. The costumes I like are not in the shop, and I don't enjoy having to wait to buy the one I want. Not because I am impatient but because if i can't get them when I have the money, then my money gets spent elsewhere.

And why is the shop full of 4 copies each of the exact same things? Why not put all the available trunks in there with one picture each? Having four pictures of each one seems quite redundant to me, and cuts back on the variety you can offer.

If all the trunks were in there for purchase I'd be happy, but this way... Disappointing. Very disappointing. shakes head

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Aw. That's disappointing. I like to buy a few MCT's at a time so I can get a new trunk I like even if I don't have cash. It's going to be difficult for me to sink my money into the site now during the sales. I guess I'll just stock up on CSC now instead.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ugh. This is so annoying. And for all you people who say this hasn't changed anything, it has. Buying a certain Costume Trunk from user shops are always inflated compared to just buying the MCT with the trunk in it. Buying just the CSC for it are more expensive as well. I'm not trying to sound cheap but this change is consequently only making us spend more. As somone said above it is most likely a money ploy :|.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think that's a really good idea!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

LOL I shat a brick thinking they wouldn't do them anymore. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmmm, I wonder whats going to happen to the achievements for being a loyal user now since we wont have the MCT anymore :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Awesome. The costume trunk always sort of confused me anyway. "You mean you open a trunk... to get a box with a costume in it? And it doesn't tell you what those costumes are before you open the trunk? And sometimes they retire and aren't in there anymore even though they were when you bought it...?" It was just a... rather silly system from my perspective. I like this much more. ^-^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

yay!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I much prefer this, I was forever getting confused between the MCT and the keepsake box when i was tired xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I prefer having the items separately rather than them being hidden in the trunk - makes it easier to decide what to buy (especially with the preview thing)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well i really dont understand... xD was the last one that was uploaded the really last costume trunk and there will noe more costumes? XD ah i dont' udnerstand, but whatever.. i think its okay? confused

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And now I'll just gift CSC cards instead of MCTs... or individual trunks if I know what someone wants. -nods- I'm ok with that. -hugs Keith-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like the changes. I just need to see what it does to the Costume Trunk market over the long-term. -ponders- I got an A in Economics when I took it like 10 years ago, but I'm afraid that's not enough to predict the trend XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I know I aleady posted saying I was unhappy but I do want to make sure that people know that is because I stocked up when the exchange rate was good, so I saved money and subeta still got the same amount, not when sales came around

So even though I don't like that the MCT are gone, I do really like the preview option. I never needed it since I get them when I want them but it IS good for other people, so props on that

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love this! No more hunting off site to see what the items look like.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It seems like every time I log in the site gets better. Way to go Subeta Team!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't really like this, hopefully the price of the 500 csc won't be much higher than a trunk used to cost.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like this way better. The MCT looked way too much like the Keepsake box and I bought one of those instead when I wanted the MCT No I will be able to see which one I'll get for real

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like FINALLY being able to SEE what items I'm buying. I hated buying into a trunk blindly.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yawn

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Do not like.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I also would like to know what happens to the Wardrobe achievement, where you get a MCT for 5k clothes. Do you still get one? o.O

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah, I got mixed feelings about this - but I understand from the 'hoarding trunk' point of view, this is a bit of an issue. However, just turn the CS credits in when you want to buy a new trunk. You can still hoard the MCTs - you just can't open them like before. It's somethin' we all have to deal with. It's nice to see which trunks are available all in one place as well as all the previews. :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I Knew That Will Happen, But I Wasnt Ready For That Yet. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

im not sure why people are freaking out xD and buying a ton of cts when there was a sale xD i went nuts and bought like $20 of stuff but i didnt set out to buy now so i wouldnt later xD i just bought cause there was a sale. As it is i buy every little thing that comes out that i like with real money cause for some reason i would rather do that than spend my sp o.O weird huh xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Mmm, I see your point as well. Buying in that great a bulk really would be detrimental to Subeta funds. joins Arya in sighing Like she said, it is what it is.

I'm just glad that the concept of MCTs have not been disbanded.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I get the 50 thing, but I personally was talking about two to three tops

Ah well. It is what it is.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry to say to those of you who are talking about stocking up during a sale -- but that was never the intention of these sales (for you to stock up on 50 costume trunks to last you through the year) and it's a problem that we've had to face (much like when we put gold accounts in the MC and have people stock up on them for a year+).

The best you'll be able to do is buy items that are around that price point and hold onto them to sell later, for sP and then buy costume trunks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Lovely! Thanks Keith

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Finally!!

Those trunks won't be inflated anymore ;DD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Gah, I re-read my comments before I post and I still manage to screw words up. Apologies for looking like an idiot x_x

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The only problem I have with this is one that was mentioned earlier: what happens when a sale roles around in the Cash Shop and there aren't any trunks I particularly like out of the ones that I haven't already bought? Before I could grab a few trunks and wait for a new release that a liked, and wind up saving some CSC. Now I'll either have to buy stuff I don't particularly want or miss out altogether.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't understand what the problem is or why anyone would possibly be angry.

To my understanding, if you have an MCT and you open, you get a 500 credit gift card. Which is the worth of the original MCT and the cost of any of the trunks in the Cash Shop. So you don't lose money. Any costume trunk available costs 500 credits. So I don't see how money is lost in any way. Besides, this way you don't have to wonder what trunks are still available.

I personally like this new feature because I enjoy seeing my options and not having to pick right then and there, whereas the minute I would open an MCT, I HAD to pick asap.

I'd like to this is easier and more beneficial to someone.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Whoa...weird. Kinda nice though Less hassle this way. Thanks

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

To be honest, I actually like this better. Although, I loved the trunk and will miss it, I can finally see all of them at once. It is easier.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Huge improvement, nothing was lost and I don't honestly understand why people are complaining. I turned in my MCT for the 500 credits and will keep it until I have enough to get a couple of the sets that just came out! Thanks so much!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What will this do to the achievement for opening an MCT then? Are the people who haven't gotten that yet just SOL then?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm honestly a bit annoyed, mainly because I was looking forwards to stocking up on MCTs during the Black Friday sale. And there is now NO equivalent for that, because 500 CSC will STILL cost five dollars, whereas an MCT, worth 500 CSC, would have been brought down in price.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

calmtears has a good point. However, I don't think I'd complain if someone chose to gift me 500 CSC instead of an MCT. And it's possible, but unlikely, that the receiver wouldn't want any of the MCT trunks, or would prefer to spend the CSC on two monthly collections.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I had to read this over five times before I understood it. I was so freaked! This is much more organized, though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it's just so it's easier to retire/provide limited edition sets. :3 Having seasonal sets makes more sense to me.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmm...Now it is more time efficient just to buy the trunks from the cash shop rather than wasting millions more sp on the individual trunks since the MCT will become obsolete soon. The 500 CSC have always usually been more expensive than the MCT in user shops. This seems like a money ploy to me.

On the plus side, the rollover previews rock!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I totally got scared you'd retired the trunks altogether! XD I really think this is a great change; it makes it so much easier to examine things before deciding. And the hover feature is GREAT!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I know a lot of people liked to gift trunks to people in the generic form so that the receiver of the gift could choose which trunk they wanted. 500csc seems a lot less appealing to give as a gift as it's pretty much just handing over the $.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't understand why all the complaints? People need to lighten up and quit bitching about change. Btw, I LOVE the hover/preview feature. Geniuusssss!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

nehhhhh :/

So much for getting trunks that I want. At least with the MCT it stayed at one price but the trunks were all different prices.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

...What's given out with the filled wardrobe achievement, then?

Other then that, I don't see much of the point of this change, but that's alright. Doesn't bother me much at all.
