AFLKJADFLKJ! T0T DURING SCHOOL? REALLY? ;-;

Maybe I can use my friend's phone during lunch... >3>

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I know someone... a friend of mine... who quit over a year ago. She has two pets with names I want. I'm armed with a Pet Slot Totem and Identity Star Shuriken for that day, because I know those two names are getting cleared, and I wants them ._.; .

FOR THAT DAY IS MY BIRTHDAY, AND I SHALL GET THOSE NAMES AS MY BIRTHDAY PRESENTS TO MYSELF. :3 ... Yeah. That's 9:00 my time, so I plan to wake up extra-early to make sure I'm all set.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Of course....I'm in school then grr.......

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well, time to warn all my friends that haven't been here in a while, heh.

Not true! I took a full year Hiatus (I got bored, and needed a break), and believe me, time flies. I had hardly even realized I'd been gone that long when it hit me that I should come back to delete my cult and participate in Morostide. Some of my friends have had similar hiatuses to mine and most of them have returned so far.

Of course, I also already knew about account clearing, so I was careful to prevent myself from losing my account by planning to come back before a certain date, at least for a visit.

So, your nice sweeping statement that ALL people who are gone for a year are alienated from the site is unfortunately overblown, to put it mildly. ...And yes, I have spent money on the CS, just not for a long, long time.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Of course money isn't the whole point. I think ANY rule-abiding player who'd come back hoping to enjoy Subeta after a year-long sabbatical would be disappointed to find his/her account cleared. And if that person did indeed spend money, it would most likely exacerbate things.

A year may seem like an eternity to some, but considering the site has been around five years, it really isn't. As many others have attested to, long absences DO happen.

"If their precious cash shop investment in pixels were so important they would be here playing with them. Simple as that." Heaven forbid someone has multiple interests and multiple priorities and possibly multiple other time commitments... Spare me.

Please do not put words in my mouth. I never warned others against spending money in the cash shop. The cash shop allows easy attainability to several fun items that enhance the Subeta experience, as well as help fund the site. I think it's a great feature. What I AM saying is very closely aligned to your warning: Simply that some part-time players who would otherwise donate to the cash shop, upon realizing the true transitory nature of their accounts, might not. And those who dedicated tons of time to Subeta, only to have their accounts cleared, might also stop. I was stating a likely thought process of one whose account was cleared; NOT telling regular players not to shop.

And money is part of it, because in the end, it is a business decision, because there are customers to take into consideration. But on the other side of things... It's Subeta's site and they have the right to do whatever they want. And I'm sure the team thought this through because there actually are several benefits to doing this, many of which are becoming very clear. I just like being chatty.

That being said, this is all I feel I need to say on the topic here, but feel free to take this to mail if you wish.

And Mittens, I believe it's the Identity Star Shuriken, but I've never needed one, so double check to be sure.

Can someone tell me how you can change your username? :3

I was just expressing my opinion that I think a year is an awfully short time to possibly alienate users who have spent money on the site and it would STRONGLY discourage them from doing so in the future. I know this turn of events is making me think twice about it now as well. Just my two cents. But as I said before, I'm excited for those who are excited about new names. Take the good with the bad I suppose.

Money has nothing to do with it. That's the point.

If their precious cash shop investment in pixels were so important they would be here playing with them. Simple as that.

And a year is a short time? Are you kidding? They have already alienated themselves from the site at that point. The fact that they may have purchased even a 50 point item is irrelevant. If that's your reason to strongly suggest that others don't buy from the cash shop then your logic is flawed. Maybe you should warn friends against spending if they don't really play regularly or may abandon their account.

"The only thing you are entitled to when purchasing from the cash shop are the pixels you purchased. No special treatment just because you kicked some money to the site. I don't understand why people don't get that."

The only thing you are entitled to when purchasing from the cash shop are the pixels you purchased. No special treatment just because you kicked some money to the site. I don't understand why people don't get that.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Crap.. I have to work from noon to seven that day. defeated Wish this could take place on a weekend day! xD Good luck to everyone else

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Gzrtz. That'll be 6pm here, and I'll be on my way back from school. Well, I'll see, though I don't believe I'll get lucky.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

pffff have to wonder if my friend will get cleared.

Good luck to everyone!

"Non-frozen accounts that haven't been active for a year? Oh dear... I've vanished for several months at a time before, so I know how easily done that is.

Kumos will always be mine though...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yaaay. I just hope the pet name I want is freed up, from the owner's comments they've sent/received as far as I can tell, they'll probably be cleared but...eh. =| Ah well, if not, then next time. Crosses fingers

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

yesyesyes... finally!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

AHAHAHA. I am going to start name hunting nowww

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

... That's my birthday! AND I STILL HAVE MY PET SLOT TOTEM FROM MY LOYALTY BOX!

That means... I can get a new pet and give it an awesome name... what a great birthday present!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you! =D -excited-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

KEITH, ILU. SERIOUSLY, BEST XMAS PRESENT EVER.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Awesome, thanks! I'm gonna be very busy that day, but I'll try to sneak on and snag a name. One question though, if I use the wand on my pet, but the name I want is already taken, do I still have to pick a new name or can I just keep the old one?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YES!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm glad I got my name in the last clearing. From dndrules3 to Furry!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

OMG YAYYYYY im so flippin excited [:

baw, the username i want will be shy of a few days to being a year old during the purge. :c

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Damn I need an ISS now >_>

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh yessss. The name I've been stalking's been inactive for just over a year! Dang school, though. Don't think the name's too popular, hopefully it'll be around when I come home.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

aww man, the name i want was taken during the last clearing i need to steal a good name this time around xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

aww man, the name i want was taken during the last clearing i need to steal a good name this time around xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This explains what happened to my friend Scotty and Eric Oh Well it keeps the website from being cluttered.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nifty guys! I'm liking my pet's names, so it's all good with me. Good luck to the rest of you

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i don't understand the obsession with getting words as usernames.

good thing i logged on when i did..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Since I've been asked for my pets/names before, and am on stealth mode, here's me dashing everyone's hopes. ;P

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

yess but I dont think the name I want will be avalible

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Do you know how long it took me to read this post? :- Chibi kumos are VERY distracting.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm in the same boat as SkitsoSquirrel. xD The one name I want I'm not sure will be cleared because I can't see how long they've been inactive. Thanks for the heads-up, though!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YAY. But but but that means i need a pet slot sobs

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

NICE~

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What would would an inactive pet name be? Can you even have inactive pets? o_O
