:star: September 17 is Subeta's 18th Anniversary! Wow, we're old. There will be new items to celebrate the day, and the birthday related items will return to the Quest Shops.
:star: To start our 18th year off right, we're going to be opening the Free Shop on September 18 and close September 24. Just a reminder, this shop is manually stocked and monitored (by a human, this human!) to make sure it doesn't overload or empty too frequently. I'll make sure there are some fun treats stocked, but remember, any free item is a good one!
:star: Assuming the seas stay favorable, Keel Hauliday will start on September 19 and last for 10 days.
:star: The first day of Autumn is September 22. This is when the Millionaire Center and Seasonal Quest Shop will switch from Summer to Autumn. I am very excited to say goodbye to Summer (sorry, all Summer lovers out there).

Tell us something you love about Subeta, such as your favorite species or holiday. Maybe there is an item you just can't look at without smiling. Or a plot that to this day you are still pleased with how well you did. Let us know in the comments!
Throughout the day we will be celebrating this in different ways. To start, the various quest shops have brought back their birthday/anniversary-themed items. These will stick around until the first day of Winter!

A few reminders:
:star: The Free Shop will be open until 11:59pm on September 24.
:star: The Free Shop restocks from a pool of items I manually restock, and I can't be here 24/7. There are times when it might be a few hours before that pool is full again. Be kind!
:star: Any free item is a good item. Just because you don't get cash shop items throughout the week does not mean the Free Shop wasn't worth it!

Arr what else to tell ye... Angrybeard be back in his galley, needin' help wit' the vermin, whilst Rathskellar Inn ain't only where us pirates be sleepin' but where ye can also pick up a fine meal to cure yer scurvy if ye wish. Don't ye be insulting the good wench Babette, either! She'll 'ave ye guts fer garters!
Translation: Hello again, people of the land! The Freyalise Trading Co. are back from our travels and we'll be docking in Port Plunder for the next 10 days while we have a little rest, meet our old friends, perform various business transactions and refuel for our next voyage. If you find our good friend Carl, tell him we're grateful for his continuing service in advertising our wares, and we definitely have only good feeling for him.
Now, what else to report... ah yes! Angrybeard is once again requiring your kindhearted assistance sprucing up his kitchen after the long journey, and his dear wife: the lovely Babette, is serving up a storm in her fine establishment, the Rathskellar Inn. Try the fish! It's delicious!
All quests have been reset.

One of the big draws this time of year is the Ocean Depths vending machine, since its rarity cap is different and it gives out items from Freyalise as part of its pool while the shop is open. (Something to keep in mind if you have those stockpiled wizard tokens. ^_~ )
But when you go to a page like the vending machine where it's modifying your inventory, it counts all of the items in your inventory to check against inventory limit. Which it does by looking at ALL inventory items in all accounts, figuring out which ones belong to you, and creating a count of that. If you add/remove any items, that cached token is removed, and it does the query again. It's intensive even during normal site traffic, but works overtime during holidays. As just mentioned Subeta's coding does has a caching system to manage the queries, but the more people online the faster the cache expires and the 504s start creeping in.
One of the ways we can reduce this load is by managing items in the inventories of people who haven't logged on for a while; their inventory items still get counted and it's a constant bottleneck we're going to keep running into especially during busier times of the year. So starting soon, if you have not logged on in six months, items in your inventory will be automatically moved to your vault.
Keith is going to add a message to the inventory page that will show up for anyone whose items got moved, but we also wanted to get the word out to people otherwise and have this in Announcements for future reference.
Thank you for reading! May the Omen Islands waters be warm for you (or cool, depending on your preferences) and don't forget to put ideas you really want to see for upcoming festivities in the Suggestions thread!
