Intrigued by the food in Emma's pack, it looks as though a few glade pets have followed her home. Reported sightings of glade kanises, antlephores and chais are quickly spreading throughout Subeta.
As talk spreads about the water of Peka Glade doing something fantastic to your pets, the folks at Home Appliances have released a stock of high quality glass bottles guaranteed to hold water without spilling or leaking!
This is Titania McGee with the Channel 5 News, your best source for up-to-date information. Today's top story: Emma Ramsden's expedition into the Peka Glade. Make sure you check out my exclusive interview with her for the full details!
Calvin Blackmoon has completed the newest batch of Cadogre and Endeavor robots, and they are ready for adoption!

Need something to put around your neck? Well, the Cash Shop has the perfect choice for you, in a wide array of colors.
Now instead of it being a random event, you will find flowers floating around the site. They should be a little more common now, but you've got to look out for them!
The flowers have begun blooming around Subeta, and so it is time for Vesnali to begin.
If you find a flower while exploring, it would be kind of you to give it to a friend, and you might even be rewarded with a Vesnali Coin to spend in Esther's Shop.
Event Notes: You find the flowers from random events while you wander around Subeta.
Make sure you have the options panel added to your profile, because that's where the send flower link is. ;) If you don't see it on your friends profile, ask them to add it!
A new trivia question has been added!
Because it's always cold in Arctic Frost, the folks at Icy Goods have started stocking in these new baggy turtleneck sweaters. Stay toasty!

Awoke to a wild chai bathing in the spring, appeared to be field colored - Possibly a lost or abandoned pet? Moving startled it away, but noticed that plants had started to take root in its fur. Sad.
__________________________
Many different species seem to call this area home. Spotted an antlephore, then shortly after, a kanis. Both field? Very odd. Both also had growth in their fur.
Side effect of local plant life? More investigation needed. Collected soil and water samples for further analysis.

Explorations this morning went well, found two samples of Blood Lily, both mature. Did not harvest. Decided to check into cave system for further samples.
__________________________
Following river through caves. Very dark and creepy, grateful for flashlight, must thank Nico. Found several more immature samples. Harvested a pair for cultivation trials back at the gardens.
Seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, literally. Will continue in that direction.
__________________________
Followed tunnel, came out into a beautiful hidden glade. Blood Lily everywhere. Also found Coral Thistle, and Stinging Aster - Both very rare! Collected samples of all.
Source of river seems to be a spring that bubbles up from the ground. Water is very crisp - Feel so much more in tune with nature after drinking from it.
Day is drawing to a close. So much more exploring to do tomorrow. Now, dinner and bed.
The Blackheart Hollow hasn't been nearly fashionable enough to satisfy the likes of the subeta population, so join in the upcoming protest with this new wig! :D
If you are looking for the perfect glob of gum then look no further! The Token Shop can fit all of your extreme gum needs! :o

Opening a business in Centropolis isn't easy. I mean, you never know what unsavory types are waiting to give you a hard time. That's why you need protection, you see? The kind of protection that only a Crime Boss can provide.
We wouldn't want anything to happen, would we?
The Crime Boss Costume Trunk can be found inside of the Mysterious Costume Trunk in the Cash Shop.
Ink on map bled, little lost. Still following the river, so going northwest, at least. Haven't explained journey - Maybe should:
Looking for Lilium Sanguinea, Blood Lily, believed to be extinct. Aside from beauty, has fantastic healing properties. Recent topographical study of the area lists possible sighting at headwaters of Peka River.
Must make more progress before nightfall, more later.
__________________________
Evening, now. Made it to the headwaters. river seems to come from a cave system. Poked in for a few minutes - Expansive caverns. No Blood Lily in sight, but will do more thorough search in morning.

Just left Riverside, journey in progress. Somewhere just Northwest. Light rain soaked map - Should have wrapped in plastic. Saw Galatonis Gandicans (Common Melix Flower), first of spring? Said to be a sign of good luck!
Sunset in 1 hour, should find place to setup camp. Next to river - Bath for me in the morning! Picked wild mint earlier, should go nicely with dinner.

You can't keep a vampire hunter down! Even when their lover is sucked into hell, spit back out, and then tries to kill them. Or when you're given an annoying whiny fake sister and have to put up with her for three seasons... er.
The Vampire Hunter Costume Trunk has returned to the Mysterious Costume Trunk in the Cash Shop.
A curious minion has found its way to the Free Gift center. It's like it's trying to speak to us or something.

Costume Trunk Note
If you just purchased the new Curious Lacquered Costume Trunk, and you got the wrong items when you opened it please Create a Ticket and have the items you received in your inventory. A UA will be able to replace them with the correct trunk as soon as possible.
This trunk seems to be giving us a lot of issues! The ninja's must be attacking :(. Anyway, if you opened the male version of the trunk and did not get any items, please Create a Ticket to have it fixed!
Two more old Costume Trunks have been revamped! You can find the Well-built Circus Trunk and Curious Lacquered Box in the Mysterious Costume Trunk, located in the Cash Shop.

Hi everyone! For once I am not posting to forewarn you about some calamity about to befall Subeta. I thought I should explain some of the problems that we're currently having. If you're not interested, you will lose nothing by not reading, so don't worry about it :)
SQLs: There are actually 3 causes for SQLs, and you can tell them apart by the timing. The main cause for SQLs is when the database locks up because of too many queries at once. Those SQLs result in the site starting to time out, before our script realizes the problem and restarts the database, resulting in a SQL page for about 40-60 seconds before the site comes back up. This type of SQL will be made extinct (hehe) as we work to improve the efficiency of the site.
The other two are more worrying. One is a "quick" SQL, which shows up suddenly, without the site slowing down, and disappears within 15 seconds or so. This means that the database has crashed (and automatically restarted), which is usually a result of some part of the DB having become corrupted. Eventually, the server will crash immediately after it restarts itself, and this will cause a long SQL, which will persist until we're able to restore the database from a backup.
We're currently working on this problem and we think we are close to discovering what is actually going on here.
Images not showing: One of our three web servers was having problems, becoming unresponsive and having to be restarted every night. When this happened, the image server on it had to be started manually, and so images that were routed to that server would not load until this happened. We've since identified what was happening (runaway backup script) and fixed it, so this shouldn't be an issue any more.
Please-wait timeouts: A number of people are reporting getting "please wait 30 seconds" or such timeouts when it's they've waited minutes, hours, or days. We are still trying to figure out this one, so if you're having this problem and you're willing to work with me on debugging it, please let me know.
Anyway, just thought that might help explain some things that are going on.

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great Easter!
Subeta will be going down shortly (let's say 11:30 AM) for a quick database adjustment. We should be back up and running within 2-3 minutes.

All done! This is no longer an issue.
Hi everyone.
We'll be taking the site down momentarily (in 5-10) minutes to re-sync our slave database server, which seems to have become corrupted.
The procedure will take a bit longer than usual, since we need to save the corrupted database to analyze the corruption and hopefully find out what's causing it.
I'll keep everyone posted.

It has been quite a while since something new and fashionable has come out in the highly expensive Subeautique. The designer of the Rainyday line has been working extremely hard on this new Verdure set, for those with (a lot) of money to spend.
Remember! Fashion doesn't come cheap and Esmerelda doesn't let just anyone in her shop! ;)

Getting ready for spring cleaning? Better put your hair back so you don't accidentally bleach it and end up looking like a certain someone! ;) ;) ;)
The Blackheart Hollow is experiencing spring first hand, it seems. If you haven't been able to enjoy the first days of spring yet, perhaps you should take a stroll to the Blackheart Hollow. ;)
Do you think of yourself as royalty? Or maybe you just want to prance around with a crown on your head? If so, this new shipment of crowns in Accessory Bin might be for you!
Did that Subreze work better than you'd intended? Are you now missing a beloved feline companion in your home? Fear not! The Plushie Parlour has a substitute that's so convincing, you'll never notice the difference!
Except for the lack of smelly cat litter. And no more midnight pounce attacks when you're trying to sleep. Or begging to get out, only to want to come back in as soon as you open the door.
...Dude, these are so much better.
Thanks to your feedback, the hikei finally has a new look. It's also now available in nuclear!

Hi, I'm Carrie Nott, introducing the new Subreze!
Kumos smell lingering on your couch? Feli litter in your hallway? The aroma of old socks in your room? One spray from our range of Subreze products will eliminate those unpleasant smells and odors, leaving your home smelling clean and fresh!
SPRAY, and the smell is gone!
But don't just take my word for it! Try one of our extensive range of deliciously scented products at the Home Appliances store now!
Feel like your dancing wasn't up to scratch during the ball? Maybe this free Steam Dance Machine can help you improve for the future!
Feeling a bit down? Feeling a strong urge to cry a river and complain? This hair, from the Accessory Bin, is obviously perfect for you then. ;)
Angelic montre have a grand new look and would like to take this opportunity to remind you that being a guardian angel does not mean swooping down just when you need help. It means watching over you all the time.
So, that time at Masquerade when you had a little bit too much from the Libertine Lounge and decided to dance on the tables to see if anyone would toss you trinkets? Yeah, they saw that.

Shinwas Short Sword has been added to the Crystal Shop! It seems this "poor" weapon was forgotten, but why? :(
(NOTE: The Heated Short Sword has been reduced by 500 Crystals.)
It's getting warmer, and with the warmer weather comes an early bumper shipment of delicious and exotic fruits to the Food Market!
...Wow, that really is a lot of fruit. You might want to check them for bugs. :x
And that's it! I hope that you've enjoyed yourself, but the Atebus Revolution Masquerade has finally tapered off, and is finished for the year.
I hope you've got your umbrella ready, because April is just starting.
The Cash Shop has the new April 2009 Collection in stock!
