News Archive: Week 49, 2021

Fireside Challenger Extension

Lord Wybert and his Fireside colleagues will stick around until 11:59pm on December 7. Get those last battles in while you can!

For those asking about Melody achievements, we will have more information this week. I don’t want to extend something by a day when it might need just another! Just know we will simply require less days for the achievement but still retire on the 25th and 31st, so instead of needing all 25 days you might only need 24 or 23. Again, we’ll have more information soon!

Server issues clearing up

You should be able to see your avatars now! Other wardrobe and New Subeta features should also be working, such as submitting CWs.

Autopricer has also been reset, so please give it another try if you already used it today. If you used the super autopricer and got errors today or within the last few days, please file a ticket for CSC reimbursement and include all dates you need handled.

Tree display may still be having issues, we are working on that still. We are also monitoring and investigating and will update as we get it, stay tuned for more news!

Update on Site Loading Issues

Hello, Subeta!

Last night Subeta's servers had a severe outage, bringing the site down for about two hours. Keith brought back-up servers online, but several features are still being impacted. The reason for the outage is still under investigation and, while a fix is being worked on, there may still be disruptions to features such as wardrobe, access to forums, and autopricing.

Subeta was one of the earlier pet sites and continues to provide fun and content, integrating old features and adding new ones, but this means that problem-solving for its unusual server load and output can take time. We will be posting more information on as we get it, and those posts can be read through the Staff Forum Posts on the sidebar even if you're unable to log into the forums. The status page is also being updated!

This was not put in as a news post earlier because we wanted to have more information for y'all if at all possible, but we're open to feedback on whether that works. Please let us know what you'd prefer in the comments!

Luminaire FAQ

It’s the jolliest time of the year, didn’t you know? Let’s unpack just what you can do during Luminaire.

Each day throughout the month, Melody will be giving out new treats. There are two achievements regarding Melody’s Cottage. If you visit every day through the 25th, you’ll receive an Essence of Melody, which is essential to making a nostalgic pet! If you make it every day of December, you’ll get the Melody Regular 2021 achievement. We haven’t added an item prize yet, but there will be one before the month finishes.

For those worried about old Melody items they still need, we will be re-releasing them sometime this holiday and not through the Free Shop. <3

What would Luminaire be without a tree? Choose your 2021 tree and have fun decorating it. You can even add a backdrop to your tree! If the tree or ornaments aren’t showing up, clear your browser cache and try again. You can mass add all ornaments from your inventory to your ornament inventory here.

How do you get ornaments? You can donate sP to Melody after visiting her cottage for the day and receive an Old Box of Ornaments. When you open the box, you’ll find a random selection of ornaments. [I]If you are missing ornaments, please file a ticket.[/i]

Only want friends to leave your gifts under your tree or maybe no gifts at all? You can adjust your Luminaire gift settings here.

Just a reminder that trees "open" on December 25th! We will have a news post when you are able to receive your gifts. <3

Mysterious Melody, as you may have noticed, is still closed even though Luminaire has started. There will be some fun changes this year and there will be a news post explaining it when it reopens in a few days!

Note: When the feature gets released, this section will be edited with the changes for quick reference for everyone!

Keep an eye out for the snow fairy minions, which you can give via random event. There’s an achievement, Fairy Catcher!, when you find one.

You can release snow fairies from your inventory for the Free all the Fairies achievement. There is also an achievement, Fairy Collector for having one of each color snow fairy in your inventory.

I know you are all itching to throw a snowball or two but the Snowtapult won’t be opening until Winter properly starts on December 21. When the feature reopens, we will have a post explaining how it works and items that may help you avoid getting hit in the face with snow.

Spread joy on the [url=https://subeta.net/forums.php/forum/208]Luminaire Forums[/b]. We’ll keep these forums open until January 5, so any contests can be finished up after Luminaire ends.

Luminaire ends at 11:59 pm on December 31.

The Free Shop will not be happening during Luminaire.

Cash Shop: December 2021 Collection

Be birds of a feather… or something like that with this new monthly collection. Maybe you'll see a new bird or two this month. ;)

You can also purchase one of our older December Donation Presents or Collections!

Note: We will be delaying the Luminaire Information post to tomorrow! <3 <3 <3

Luminaire is here!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Luminaire!

Make sure to visit Melody at her cottage every day this month for a daily treat. While we’re all excited for what Melody will give each day, please use spoiler tags on the forums or this news post when commenting directly about an item the day it’s released! <3

If you visit the cottage and receive your gift all 31 days, you’ll receive the Melody Regular 2021 achievement (prize to be added later in the month). If you visit the first 25 days, you’ll receive the Lumineve Regular 2021 achievement.

We will be having a more in-depth news post about Luminaire later today. It will discuss everything from tree decorating to how to get those pesky little Snow Fairies.

Quest Shop: Stripes

Even though she doesn’t wear stripes herself, Cinthia clearly understands stripes are great.
