The Veta Bonfire is open once more in celebration of this year’s harvest! Gather up Red Rreign items floating around and offer them up to the bonfire - you might come away with something special! Be careful about throwing in the wrong items though, you could end up seeing a little bit of the Red Rreign's less pleased side!

As a special treat this year, the bonfire seems to be giving out some old Fireside restockables. Magic, am I right?

If you can spare some food for Charity, she might just reward you with a gift!

The Charitable achievement has three new tiers! We’ve added a new book to both the 3,000 and 4,000 tier (Happy Kitchen Photo Album) so you can get a copy! We’ve added a previous book (Antique Family Recipes) to the 3,500 tier. Enjoy!

Fantine is once again accepting pumpkins from Morostide!

Don’t forget that while the Bonfire is up, you can make harvest potions!

Fireside will end at 11:59pm on November 30.

We are very excited to announce we will be having two Custom Wearable sales events this year during December!

The weekend of December 10th through the 12th, all custom wearables in shops will be 25% off! Shop owners, don't worry - you won't have to do anything for this, as the site will adjust the prices for you. Custom wearable sellers will still earn their original profit on CWs (not a reduced amount). It's the perfect time to stock up on CWs to gift to friends (or to yourself - we don't judge)!

Are you more interested in an older CW that you're hoping you can get your hands on? You may have your chance the following weekend! From December 19th through the 21st, the CW Pawn Shop will be open for buying! Take the time to browse all the great CWs that Jeremy has been hoarding for the past several months and get those dream pieces for your collection! Please note you will not be able to sell to the pawn shop during the time it is open.

Be sure to mark your calendars and get ready for the custom wearable fun!

Are you ready to cozy up next to the Veta bonfire and throw many things in for the hope of a blessing from the Red Rregin? You'll have to wait a bit longer because Fireside will be starting this Sunday and last the rest of the month!

Another Crystal Shop restock? What am I, made of crystals???

The human avatar system is a major part of the site; while our pets are precious, fashion and HA options have also kept people with Subeta through the evolution of the Wardrobe and features such as toggles to display limbs or not, skins to add a bit of extra flair, and saved outfits to preserve favorite combinations or try out new items.

Saved outfits in particular have been one of the most used, er, threads through several versions, and understandably so given the sheer fun of them, with 250 avatars on average saved per day and 360,000+ (and counting) total in the system. But given the amount of bandwidth, limits on how many total per user had been previously discussed; in fact, when you currently click over Outfits in the Wardrobe, there is a notification that eventually a limit of 500 saved outfits will be enforced.

There were various reasons why the timeframe on when to apply that limit was still being worked out but, with the ">tagging system going live, we're ready with the timeline and details.

Starting 2022 January 1st 12:01am Subeta time, the limit of 500 outfits will be put into effect. HOWEVER, your old outfits will not be deleted and you will be able to load, modify, and wear those outfits Nor will they count against your limit. So for example, If you have 520 outfits today, on January 1st, those 520 outfits are grandfathered in and you will have 0 against the limit of 500 outfits.

We understand that it's going to be an adjustment, but we also know that this is a caring and generous community that wants to look out for each other and this measure is to improve the site experience overall. This helps future Wardrobe usage and stability, reducing lag not just for avatar enthusiasts but for the fabric of the site overall. Working with twenty million rows in the database versus twenty billion makes a big difference in the amount of time and processing, and forums, quests, and battling along with general process spooling time will benefit from this.

We look forward to being able to improve existing features and delight with new ones for everyone!

We’ve changed the special item for our Subscription Quester, Councilor, and Goddess plans. We will be changing this special item slot every month.

Let this old free gift guide you this Winter.

It’s a devonti revamp kind of day, don’t you agree?
