Gold Account Changes!
Excellent news! The Pet Leash is now a bonus feature of Gold Accounts, instead of being a stand-alone CSC feature! So if you have a gold account, you can leash any one of your own pets and their headshot will show up under your human avatar on the forums. So you can keep an eye on them wherever you go! Just what I needed for Squidley, the little scamp.
Do you remember how to activate a leash? Simply go to your Pets page, click on the little drop-down menu of the pet you'd like to leash, and select 'leash'. From there on it's pretty straightforward! Don't forget to change your pet's headshot to be what you'd like it to be on the forums!
This has been added as a Gold Account feature because something else has been taken away...the 5 extra pet slots. But no fear, because you now have 10 BASE PET SLOTS!! This is huge! What it means is that when you get a new pet slot from say...a site-wide user quest, or a loyalty box maybe: you don't have to activate a Gold Account in order to use it. You can apply it straight to your account!
I'm told the people who made this happen thought this would make things way less confusing. I hope that's the case! NOW GO ADOPT SOME PETS. You know, if you haven't already maxed out.
Oh - and if you have any ideas for more Gold Account features to help take the place of the pet slots being taken away, please come suggest them!
For the confused! Petslots are no longer linked to gold accounts. Everybody now has 10 base pet slots. When you activate a loyalty totem you will get 1 additional pet slot, you do not need to have a gold account to do this anymore. If you participated in the quest-a-thon you will not need to buy a gold account in order to activate your pet slot.

I was talking a form of reimbursement for those of us who bought a GA account purely for the extra 5 pet slots since the base pet slot amount is now 10. I have essentially paid for something that is now free for new users, which i feel is unfair and should perhaps be compensated.

So what if we did buy a GA just to get an extra slot? I wish this had been announced at the beginning of the quest-a-thon :/

Should the leash expire at the start of a new day? I set mine up yesterday, then had "your pet leash has expired" this morning, and had to set it up again? o.O

So is there going to be a gift or something of five pet slots for those that bought a GA

So is there going to be a gift or something of five pet slots for those that bought a GA to get 5 more pet slots previously like a 5 pet slot item? Otherwise its not that fair for older users.

I feel stupid right now. I like not having to activate a GA to get another pet slot thing. I did some questing during the event but not much since my job kept changing my schedule and screwing me out of my free time. Do I still get the free pet slot? If so how? It says I'm using the 12 of my 12 slots. :/ Or since I didn't do many quest I don't get anything?

I'm really pumped to hear that I don't have to waste sP for a GA for this additional pet slot we'll be getting for the Quest-A-Thon (and future loyalty boxes). But at the same time, I only used GAs for the purpose of creating/adopting a new pet once I got the slot for it. The leash is a great addition but not enough for me to drop sP or CSC for a medal. Depends on potential new features :P

I like this change, though I think it would have been a better idea to keep the 5 added pet slot GA perk as well since I know a lot of users only bought GAs for the pet slots.
So glad the base pets were I increased, though.

WOW! That's amazing news, especially for the non-GA users. Still, I maxed out my 10 long ago, so I'm certainly looking forward to when we apply the reward petslot tonight :D

@Ferinsy back when many of us joined there wasnt a 1 week gold account or an autopricer. The main reason back then was pet slots and maybe lower time between the few games there were,(this was when Subeta was still new)so some of the 'old timers' might feel a little jilted that users are getting now what we paid for way back when.

This change makes me extremely happy. I was always annoyed that I needed to spend money to use my /Loyalty/ prize to the site. I like having a GA every so often when I can afford it for the autopricer but now I feel less pushed into it in a way <3 And I'll finally try out that leash feature next time I buy one.

I think this is a mistake on subetas part. Because the ONLY reason i even buy a GA is for the slots, and the autopricer and shorter training times are just an added bonus for me. So now that I don't need to buy it, I won't lol.

@Sopheroo
Well, i think its a bit ridiculous to take away a huge perk of PAYING for a gold account, and then not have anything lined up to replace it. Currently, I don't see the value in continuing to pay money for something that just lost the hugest perk.
I'm sure people will eventually come up with things to fill that void, but for now, there isn't.

I agree this is a great change for the better- even if it doesn't really affect me, because I already maxed out my pet slots. ;-) As for the GAs losing a major bonus- I bought my first GA years ago because of the extra pet slots, but kept on buying them ever since because I got so used to the autopricer. ;-p
0
SCIENCE
I'd always wondered why the extra pet slots were GA-only, cause it made it so expensive to buy (and actually make use of) any new slots. So this is a good thing for all the pet hoarders.
However, the GA has just lost a substantial bonus. For me, the leash would not be any incentive to buy a GA. The pet slots were. But, as we know that new perks of some form are coming to the GA, I'll reserve my overall judgement until then c:

My extra 7 slots actually mean something now! :o :o :o
Do like this very much. It was so confusing to new people before, and annoying for everyone.
I like never wanted to make/get/etc a pet because it was like 'is it -really- worth it'?
Even less sad about the two slots I lost to the ether (before loyalty totems got their own categories) because of this. Yay. Class act.

As a user who has spent hundreds of dollars on CSC and Gold Accounts alike(I have 24 pet slots!), I wholeheartedly approve of this change. I mean, the amount of CSC I wasted buying a Gold Account *just* so I could get a new pet is incredible - I never use any of the other features. I'm much happier to be able to spend that CSC on more pet slots or on Gift Cards to sell in my shop. I honestly think I'll be more likely to spend money on Pet Slots now that I don't have to worry about the hassle of buying a GA at the same time. So thank you very much SubetaTeam! The pet hoarder in me is very happy :3

So with ten base pet slots, does that mean the amount of pets I can have now goes up by the amount of slots I've earned through totems and loyalty boxes with the old base amount?
Though I am really happy I don't have to have a gold account in order to add a new pet.... If I would have known that, I wouldn't have activated the GA Ive been hoarding in my vault for the quest-a-thon x.x

I'm sure many people bought GA for the pets.
I still think this is one of the best decisions ever

This is a fantastic change! There have been plenty of times where I've had to activate a GA just to adopt another pet because I always choose the "extra pet slot" option with loyalty boxes. This way is a much more user-friendly than the old method and for any new users to join it will be a lot easier to understand how slots work.
A++ for implementing user suggestions!

Like some other users, I'm a little bummed right now since pet slots were part of why I bought a GA.
But at the end of the day, having pet slots unrelated to GA status makes a lot more sense for the site as a whole. It's not a disaster, we aren't being forgotten. We just need to come up with nice ideas for (a) new perk(s) to replace the pet slots. Most of us probably have things we want, and I'm sure we're capable of thinking of something that can make this work out for us.
It's also hard to be devastated over something that is clearly making the vast majority of users really, really happy. Even if I'm not thrilled for myself, I'm excited for everyone else :)
And it's always good seeing that Subeta is listening to their users. Pleasing everyone is impossible, but I feel like they make a genuine effort to hear us out and make us happy. Especially compared to similar websites. I appreciate that a lot.

GAs are worth it to me for the benefits of extra quests, random times, reflection, training times etc. I would still want a gold account even if I only had one pet.

I really appreciate this change, I have always been someone who has always wanted to use leash feature. The crux being that I am not really someone who posts a lot on the forum so merit purchasing this feature for myself. I am really glad to see this rolled into the GA feature, as that is something that I do try and utilizes when and if I can. Thank you so much :3

@Ferinsy,
I understand that, and I am very excited about that. However, we were told that we would get an extra pet slot beforehand. I am not upset, but I do not understand how this is a compromise for everyone. Does that make sense? I love that there can be ten base pets, and I love the lack of a GA for getting extra pets. This is really a great thing, however, I am just a bit confused as to whether the ten is the official compromise or if it is ten and the extra slot given Thursday night.

So does this mean that those who already had ten or more slots used don't get an extra pet slot? I don't see that as fair to all of those who worked at the quests when promised an extra pet slot. I, for example, have twelve pets and quested but am unable to get another pet. Is there a resolution to that or do we who were already over the limit simply unable to get the free pet slot and must pay or find extra ways to get more pets?

Definitely like this change! With me not being able to buy GA's all the time (except once every 21 days to get my pets in the resort and being able to autoprice that week, that is), I'm happy for this change! Like most people, I always hated each time I'd want to make a pet in the past that I had to get a GA to do so. With this, all I'll need to do is activate the pet slot and go for it. :D

@ShesUniique
Kilala is absolutely correct. Now you don't even have to have that GA to HAVE all those pets. They are now completely unrelated to the GA. What this means for you is no more having to pay $5 a month to keep the 5 extra GA slots and be able to use them and more. You don't even need that at all now to be able to adopt/abandon and gain more slots. There isn't a bad thing about this change.

So thanks for this, it makes things a lot simpler imo.
Also excited to see about future perks that might come to GAs. :)

Aw! Don't feel like that, lol. This is actually a good chance if you ask me. I mean, having to get GAs every time you wanted a pet slot was a pain in the rear end and in the neck XD. So to have 10 base pet slots is way better than having to purchase a GA for the extra 5. I mean, I don't see why you'd be unhappy about this change. It's a good change :heart: one of the best good changes haha.

@Sopheroo I know this is a very good change, I'm just greedy! I did my fair share of explaining the GA/non-GA slots thing, too and I really do appreciate the change.
I mean, I don't abandon pets often and I mainly use my GA for the extra wardrobe slots + autopricer anyway (I mean, I filled those pet slots too but like I said, you spend maybe $5 one time for that and you're done) so like I really don't need the extra pet slots perk, I'm just going to miss it :P

Don't get me wrong, I love extra slots, but the mechanics on the GA slots were awful.
People getting confused about how many pets they were allowed to have before because HEY DOES A GA ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE MORE THAN FIVE PETS, OR DOES IT JUST GIVE FIVE EXTRA SLOTS. The way it was done was really bleh and confusing and not user-friendly.

@Ferinsy Well yes pets are a big thing for me. I don't abandon my pets like others! I make a pet to keep forever.. but now I am feeling very displeased with that.. and actually don't know what to do. I love this game because you can have more pets.. I found it when Neopets went to poop.. but now all that work I put into getting those except five have been dumped. But I guess why would one persons unhappiness in losing out matter right? I play everyday.. maybe missed a weeks worth since I joined. Now I'm thinking RL sounds better. Please no more pinging me, as I don't know if I can hold it in. Thanks. :'(

@ShesUniique actually, you ddidn't have to pay 5 dollars to have extra 5 slots, you could play 4 or 5 days and buy an 1 week GA medal with sP or take one of them in the free gift (it was already the free gift lots of times).
And the extra 5 pet slots were never the biggest thing for GA users, because you can still have 5 extra pets if you only had 1 week of GA (you just can't abandon them). The main reason for most people is autopricer and decreased time for training, because it's a daily, not a once-in-forver thing.

I really like this change! I love the leash feature and always forget/don't have spare CSC.
I am concerned for the future sale of GAs to newbies coming into the site though - they may not be as inclined to spend money without the promise of extra slots now.

@ShesUniique Sorry you no longer think your slots were worth paying for because someone else got a better deal on them.

Wait, since I have 19 pets, AM I still going to need a GA if I abandon someone and want to replace them?
0
ShesUniique
Pets is what I like.. everything is also a nice bonus, but $5 /pet is still money out of my pocket and I now wouldn't have had to spend it if I joined today. To me that isn't fair (I'm probably not the only one). The leash thing is neat but I can live without it as well as the forums which were already there for GA's.

@Thatshamefulhabit ~ We don't get those until the Quest-a-thon is officially over. People have until midnight to finish questing and the slots should be available tomorrow.

@thatshamefulhabit The Quest-a-Thon isn't over yet, so the slots haven't been awarded. There will likely be a news post when they do add it.

How do activate the eleventh pet slot? I don't see an option for it on the pets page, and I definitely participated in the Quest-a-Thon.

"Original GA owners" also got all the other perks that came with their GA and still do.Sasuke I agree. Original GA owners shouldn't be getting dinged for this.
You paid at most $5 to get 5 extra pets, and while yeah I'm also disappointed that GAs don't get additional pets (because I'm a greedy little shit that consistently uses a GA regardless), this change is better for everyone and in fact makes things easier for you as well, should you ever want to abandon a pet while you don't have a GA active.

@Sasuke - The base slots aren't an addition, they're a replacement. If you had 36 petslots before, you haven't got new slots now. But if you were to activate a new petslot, you would not need a GA to do so. If you only had 5 pets right now, you'd be able to go up to 10. We have taken the 5 pet slots off of the gold account, and made them into 5 base slots instead, so that everybody gets them for free.

I really like how this simplifies matters, and lets other users have more pets. However, I consistently get GAs anyway for the autopricer, so I'm kind of disappointed. Do I not get another pet slot? Not trying to sound greedy, it's just that I have the 10 slots anyway and have for a long time. :c

I'm confused. It says I have 36 of 36 but if you get a base of 10,wouldnt that mean I would have 36 of 41? I paid for the extra slots.

It's interesting to see how confusing this is for some people. Basically, we all became SO USED to things being the hard way, that making things more simple is just... like, "wow, Subeta finally did something to simplify my pet life? Really? No way, can't be that easy." XD
I mean, it is okay to be confused by this! Pet slots were always too complicated before. It is just sad that we aren't used to things being simple on Subeta!
CHANGES LIKE THIS ARE SO AMAZING. PLEASE SUBETA. I LOVE YOU. MAKE MORE PET THINGS STRAIGHT-FORWARD SO I CAN KEEP THROWING MONEY AT YOU FOR MORE PET SLOTS. ;A;

@ShesUniique Yes.
Basically, the slots that were previously GA slots now became free to everyone. If someone joins the site today, they can have 10 pets immediately. Your slots don't change because you already had the GA slots

like the leash feature, didn't actually know about it before!
however, the option underneath to add text doesn't seem to work :S i tried to put some text onto my leashed pet, and when i saved, it removed most of it (it was well under the character limit).
i tried to put: i didn't do it...i swear...
and it was replaced by: i didn/
i tried without the apostrophe and ellipses, but it still seems to delete it ^^;

@ShesUniique - Your 5 GA slots have turned into base slots. So now you have 10 base and 2 purchased. The only people who can get more pets today are those who only had 5 pets to begin with!

Omg...this is so wonderful. :') I was worried I wouldn't be able to get that free slot from the quest-a-thon because I needed a GA but now I'll be able to get that free slot I worked hard for without paying for a GA or waiting to get a gifted GA. This is amazing news :')
But just to make sure I don't get too excited and understand correctly, If i get an additional pet slot, for example through another site-wide user quest or a loyalty box, then I'll be able to use it without getting a GA? If so...that is so amazing :') I seriously shed a tear because I'm anxious for my new baby tomorrow...I get emotional okay?

GA pet slots always got filled last, because they're temporary. The temporary status was really confusing for people, and after ten years, it got awkward to tell "no, your extra pets won't get abandoned"
This way, there is only one priority of pet slot, they all work the same for the servers and it's way less complicated for everyone.

The way slots worked was extremely complicated, because there was two types of pet slots. Normal pet slots, and GA pet slots. A. I never saw the difficulty before. Procure a CSC medal if you used one before, they're not that expensive... you can buy them with sP. Maybe it's just because I'm a horrible pet owner and I ditch/recreate enough that this is... something I'm very familiar with. It's literally 75% of the reason I've ever bought a gold account medal. I worry that I won't have a need for one/others won't either now.

- you do not need a GA for ANYTHING CONCERNING PET SLOTS
- if you already have ten pets with a GA it only means you no longer need a GA to abandon and adopt another

I'm so conflicted about this.
A. I never saw the difficulty before. Procure a CSC medal if you used one before, they're not that expensive... you can buy them with sP.

I worry that I won't have a need for one/others won't either now.
B. Then once I freak out about lack of funds going to site, who knows, maybe having more pets will boost the economy, people buying for the new ones. Of course, if they weren't willing to get the gold to get them in the first place.. maybe not? My brain hurts... so much I'm going to go clean. See what evil you've done?!

So now I have ten base pets (5 of which used to be from GAs). And now I'll need a gold account just to use the free 11th slot from the quest-a-thon? As opposed to having 11 base pets slots with the new one?
Somehow this became more confusing than before.

For those confused----
If you NEVER used a GA and had only the base slots and any pet loyalty token slots- you just got FIVE MORE PET SLOTS.
If you HAVE used a GA to get the additional 5 pet slots, nothing changes. You still have the same number of pet slots. But now, you no longer have to activate a GA to get more!
Example:
I had the additional 5 GA slots filled, but did not have an active GA. So I had 24 slots of 19 filled (since the 5 slots vanish when the GA goes off, even though the pets remained).
As it was before, for me to activate the new slot we get tomorrow night, I would have had to PAY MONEY to activate a GA just to use a FREE slot. So, with the GA on, it would have read 24 out of 24 (and then out of 25 when the new slot was active).
With this change, I no longer have to buy a GA every time I want a new pet slot. :3 And this is the same for everyone with GA slots!
Hope that helps!

For those who bought the GA medal to get the extra pet: well, sh** happens, okay? But you didn't have to rush, because we know staff already gave us 1-day GA for server maintenance before. For Quest-a-thon they could use that (now that's no longer needed, obviously).
And you can always save GA medals for the future, you don't know when you'll need it ^^

So, I have 12 slots now. This means that even if I didn't have a GA I'd have 10 straight up. But since I already have 12 soon to be 13 pets, I'd still have to have a GA to activate those extra slots? I'm so dense sometimes.

For those asking about the Quest-a-Thon, last time for the super user achievement a pet slot totem was given which increased the max pets by 1. So don't worry about it.
Also, what happens for those who still have their pet leashed, just for curiosity?
