Do you already have 15 pets and it's not enough for you? The Mystical Plushies have been upgraded to allow you to move to 20 pet slots :)

Nice idea for rich folks, but I'd rather eat and live <strong>in</strong>side...<br />

Ten's plenty, thank you. Awesome as the pets here are, there's no way I'm paying one <i>hundred</i> dollars for two more. They're pixels.

These are items that you can purchase to help Subeta with its servers. Sometimes other items are added (potions especially) and taken off a few days later. It'd be in your best interest to keep checking back if you are looking for a specific item.</blockquote><br />

I'm sorry but I fail to see how the Cash Shop is not for Donating. It's called Cash Shop because you use Cash. That and Donation Shop would be confused with Donation Center too easily.<br />

Thank you Allira for offering a great idea.

I'm sorry if I offended you, Nestly - I was addressing sp4de's comments, and did not even see your post until after I had submitted.<br />
You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that, however, it is my opinion that you are wrong concerning the technical title of 'donation' <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> We will have to agree to disagree, like MissXami ^^

That's pretty cool, but I'll never be able to afford one. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> Oh well. Good luck to those that are gonna try to get one. =)
Nestly, you opinion is that it's donation items and my opinion is that they are cash items.<br />

Let's just agree to disagree okay? <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" />

Oh, COME ON. Who seriously needs 20 pets? xDD 15 is bad enough as it is o.o and even 10... why would people want like 10+ pets? i pet about 20% of them actually care for ALL their pets :/ but, hey. slinks away
Oh dear! 0.o Must...squash...urge...to...add...pets! ^^<br />
<br />
Well, I have a goal to work towards now. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> I am really surprised, though, Keith. I remember the post about 15, ("Don't ask for any more...ever!") lolz....s'ok with me though.<br />
<br />
Are we getting more new pets to tempt us, perchance? ^^

So a donadak plushie allows you to have 2 extra pet slots - taking you to 12 - so you would have to buy 5 plushies to get to the total of 20 pets. This is $500US and around $600Au or 450million sp at current prices. This fairly well means that 20 pets is a nice idea but not something even worth thinking about for most people. You could reduce the cost of the plushies, you could increase the number of pets each one lets you have - donadak to 3 pets, montre to 2 or maybe have some kind of random number - buying a donadak will give you a random extra amount of pet slots 2-5, montre 1-3 (and the chances of each amount would have to be equal).<br />

As for it being unfair to users who already have bought the plushies, well it's happened before with the Christmas Presents. Perhaps if someone has bought one of the mystical plushies within the past, oh, month, they'll get either an extra one or cash shop items equal to the difference, depending on how much lower the plushies would be. I just see it as an overall improvement to lower the prices.</blockquote> Christmas presents changed functions, so the price change was understandbale.<br />
<br />
The plushies are the exacts ame, they should remain the same price.

Keith, the least you could do is find a way to circulate them a little more frequently in the game itself. Whether it be a VERY lucky vend or an extremely rare quest prize. Maybe even consider donating them like you did the shinigami and Crown. It's not right to have one of the most desired items only obtainable by real life money.
<strong>Nestly:</strong> I really dislike when people analyze everything you say like your point isn't valid. :/ <br />
<br />
They're still called <i>Donation</i> items. Even if it's called the Cash Shop, you're still donating to the site to help fund it and keep it going. That was my point.

The abundance of cash shop items being released lately makes me wonder if anyone's actually buying stuff nowadays, really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
People are buying - we just have a lot more to pay for now. And since we have other larger sites to go on now (since we were generally one of the first sites with a 'donation' or 'cash' shop.) to inspiration. For example, both Gaia and Neopets have over 30 items in their cash shops, and add more every day, or every other day.<br />
<br />
Another problem is the US economy right now. We're trying to put out things that we know people will want - so if they weren't interested in spending money, they would be at that point.

As if I didn't have enough things to be saving my money/sP for! >.< That's really great, though. ^^ Maybe in the far distant future I'll be able to get more pet slots.
All good and dandy, but if i got one already last week, how many pets do i get to have now? I have 12 for now, but can i adopt more?
Wow cool. But I can't even afford to get 11 let alone 20.<br />
<br />
I am to poor irl and I can't save worth a hoot on subeta.

I spent $260 on those plushies before, and I sure won't do it again. Not being negative or anything. I just can't afford it anymore. <br />
I will be saving all my SP for them now. If only my items would sell XD

I'd really love extra pet slots, but just can't move myself to spend a truckload of sP's for them. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Doesn't help much when they are so expensive it's ridicuous :/ But good work though <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

There is no way I'll be able to buy one of those plushies straight from the cash shop, I just don't have that money. Neither do I have the sP, from what I've understood the current price for a MDP is 90 mill, and if this is going to raise the price, well... <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> I'll just never get there. Good luck everyone. I still wish there was another way to increase the amount of pet you can have without having to drown in riches. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />

No, it's a cash shop. It used to be donations before money went to places besides the site. The fact that it's called a cash shop makes it better, because this place is a business, not a charity.<br />

Defined from google. People may say they are 'donating', but it's not really donating when they are getting something in return. You dont go to Mcdonalds and buy a burger, then say "I donated to keep McDonalds open!"<br />
<br />
Subeta is the same way. You are paying for something you want. Donating would be buying something you want, then deleting it from your inventory, you did it for the simple charity reason. Yes, sometimes you get something from donating, but for instance, my mother gathered 1000 dollars for breast cancer awareness and she got a t shirt worth 10 bucks. The value is not the same.<br />
<br />
Again, I dont care who does what with the money, but it's not donations anymore. Cash shop is a store. People like the shiney monthly presents and donadak plushies and Sweeny Evil wigs. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />

I think prices should go down. Mystical plushies were already very hard to come by before this, now they're going to be a lot harder. Maybe at first people will buy the plushies to sell for sP, but after the initial period, supply will go way down and now not only can people like me who have 15 pet slots get more, but the people who have only 10 can't get more unless they're willing to spend every cent of their birthday, extra (from work), Christmas, etc money (if they happen to get enough) on here, which most people aren't willing to do even. <br /><br />So why not help your loyal users out and lower the price a bit? Not only would you be helping your users, but you'll be helping yourselves. I can almost guarantee that you'll make more money off of selling them for a lower price (around half, maybe a bit above) than at the current prices. People will be much more inclined to buy them if they are affordable. I probably would be inclined to buy at least the montre plushie, and I have never spent more than $10 on the site at a time. So lowering prices helps you and it helps the users. The only ones who lose out are the pets who might not get fed (let's cry a river for them). <br /><br />As for it being unfair to users who already have bought the plushies, well it's happened before with the Christmas Presents. Perhaps if someone has bought one of the mystical plushies within the past, oh, month, they'll get either an extra one or cash shop items equal to the difference, depending on how much lower the plushies would be. I just see it as an overall improvement to lower the prices.
That's awesome. _ I'll have to think about this seriously. But first I want to rename some of my pets (I don't know what their new names will be yet xD), maybe change my username...Then I will save for plushies, but one day, I'll have 20 pets. because art is so awesome here. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
It's a Cash Shop. Users are /paying/ for something in return, in the case of the shop they are paying for an item, in return for their money. Where that money goes (paying wages, server upgrades, etc) does not equate into the immediate transaction between the consumer and subeta.<br />
<br />
When you buy a pair of expensive shoes from a place like MYER, you're not donating to MYER - you are purchasing one of their products.<br />
<br />
Now if only I had about 600 aussie dollars to cough up for +10 pet slots, I want them so bad xD

That'd equal at least $500 to get the extra pet slots by buying just the Donadak ones AND if you haven't purchased any of them before. loool<br />
<br />
But hey.. 20 pets. That'd be more than enough for me to get the pets I want. Too bad I'm not willing to spend that much IRL.. XD Well congrats and GL to everyone who wants them.

This is a wonderful idea as far as I'm concerned. Yes, it would be nice if they were a bit cheaper in the Cash Shop, but still....it's awesome with all the new species and art.
How exciting! Now I actually have room for all the pets I want. (If I can ever save enough to get the extra slots, that is.)
<strong>Nestly:</strong> The way I see it- The Donation Shop is what it says: To <i>Donate</i>. And to encourage donating, items are given as a gift to say thank you, basically. I wouldn't spend money on a petsite unless I liked it enough to contribute. X3<br />
<br />
And lowering the prices may increase more purchases, but it would also be extremely unfair to the people who previously spent more. I'm sure there're a lot of difficult decisioning with that stuff. o:<br />
You have to think about every angle of what is decided.<br />
<br />
(I still think the idea of a new account medal would be awesome though. xD coughcough)

As tempting as this is, I just can't afford it. Spend too much on DPs, GAs & other cash shop items already. Plus it's difficult enough feeding & training 10 pets. But it's great for those who can afford it & want or need those other colors or species. Wish I had a few more sometimes, but that will have to wait. Nice idea though.
AureateI'm content with just two (okay, maybe three if I can ever afford an Aeanoid Seed), but this is going to make a lot of people very happy.
The don gives you 2 pet slots the Mon gives you 1, before this you could only use either: 5 Mons, 2 dons and a mon, 3 mons and a don for a total of 5 extra pets total.<br />
5 for a normal account, 10 for a gold, 15 with the plushies but now it's 20.

it's not that I don't want to get one and I like to help support the site, I just can't afford to spend 100 on supporting anything saddly right now. That's more than I make in several days at work.
ARGH!! that's kind of evil if you think about it XP...I'm happy with the pets I've got now but now if you guys come out with other cool colors for my fave species, I'll be able to get them...*headdesk* but it's still a good idea!
