Bumbus Queen




Keep your eyes open for a new random event from Queen Bea that will let you morph your existing pets into bumbii!



NOTE: To clear up some confusion, this random event will not randomly turn any of your pets into a bumbus. You will be summoned to perform a quest for Queen Bea and upon completion, she will transform a pet of your choice into a bumbus. If the bumbus is available in the color of the pet you have transformed, your pet will retain that color. If not, it will be turned into a common bumbus.

Centropolis Green Project: All Clear!
Bundle of Buttercup Seeds
Bundle of Forget-Me-Not Seeds
Bundle of Zinnia Seeds




Wow, I know Subetans are generous, but I really didn\'t expect a turnout like this! The lot is all clear and ready for planting days ahead of schedule. You guys are amazing! The Centropolis Green Project is going to be a fantastic success!



If you\'re not too tired, I could really use more volunteers to turn this lot into a garden, but don\'t worry there\'s almost no heavy lifting involved. I am just going to need donations: seeds, bulbs, young plants-- I\'ll pretty much plant anything that won\'t grow into something edible or a minion. Oh, and no cut flowers either, because they won\'t survive. You\'re better off giving those to your friends! Otherwise, don\'t be too picky. Whatever you can find or purchase to donate, I\'ll make it work in this garden. It will be a reflection of everyone\'s excellent taste.



Oh, I\'m so excited. I can\'t wait to see people enjoying the results of all of this hard work and generosity.

Centropolis Green Project
Spring is in full bloom and it is finally time to celebrate Vesnali, but I hope that you can spare a minute so that I can talk to you about something that is really important to me!



I really love my garden. I know, what a surprise, right? But honestly, when I have had a rough day, it\'s a wonderful place to relax and let all my troubles melt away. That\'s why for Vesnali this year, I wanted to create a public garden in the heart of a Centropolis neighborhood. The Chancellor was kind enough to donate a vacant lot to the cause but... Well, it has been vacant for a while now and a lot of inconsiderate people have been dumping all kinds of trash there.



This is where you come in! I was hoping that I could scare up a few volunteers to help out. I will need all kinds of people to help clean up the lot and haul the garbage away to the Recycling Center. The position is unpaid, but the Recycle Beast has agreed to reimburse you with recycling points in return for whatever junk you bring.



What do you say? Are you in?
Gold Accounts!
1 Week Gold Account Medal




In an attempt to give everyone a few extra days, we managed to delete all of the gold accounts on the site. We\'ve sent instructions to everyone (and if you did not get those, please make a ticket!) who had their gold account deleted.



In a safer attempt to give free time, the Free Gift is now a 1 Week Gold Account Medal!

Vesnali!
Prettily Presented Black Flower
Pink Pinwheel Flower
Black Flame Rose
Orange Poppies




It's that time of year again! Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, and flowers are randomly floating around the site! Make sure to take the flowers you find to your friends' profiles, because you'll be given Vesnali Tokens to spend in Esther's Shop!



Vesnali Chick Sticker
Shamanic Face Guard
Rose Mystic Fairy Wings
Garden Party Bunny Plushie




Note: Esther will be retiring all items from 2009 and 2010 on Thursday so you should grab them first if there are any items you're missing!

Planned Maintenance




We will be taking Subeta down on Sunday April 22nd at 2AM Subeta time to make some changes to the database! These are changes needed to go forward with our future plans for clearing inactive accounts and pets :)!



Update: All done in 5 minutes!

Steamwork Pets






"Come on down to Yun Enterprises," he says! "We still have a few surprises left up our sleeves!"



We? Because I\'m pretty sure we closed almost two hours ago, and yet I\'m still here putting the finishing touches on our last surprises. I think I need a vacation. Maybe Darkside is nice this time of year. I\'ve never seen a red sand beach...



Oh, right! So, tomorrow morning, show up bright and early and you can pick up plans for either a steamwork chelon, feli, or montre. If you come tonight, no one will be there to open the door! I\'m sorry to tease you like this, but there have been so many requests for these designs that I wanted to make sure they were just perfect. I hope you love them!
Steamwork Chai and Pherret




Why should the Menagerie and Lounge get all the business? While you're in Ziara City, come on down to Yun Enterprises to purchase plans for your very own steamwork chai or pherret! I know it looks like we've all be so hard at work dancing and modeling Subeautique fashions, but our feet have been getting tired, and we're ready to go back to work! We may even have a few more tricks up our sleeve before the celebration ends.
Site Problems
Illumis Dawn Bug Zapper




If you're having problem with wearable previews, or the wardrobe logging you out, or any other part of the site we suggest logging out and logging back in with the enhanced security cookie option unchecked.
Custom Clothing: Tribute Protocol
Magical Feline Count Statue
Creepy Crawling Castle
Antique Bronze Cuirass




We just wanted to say how impressed we are daily with the quality of custom clothing submissions coming in on a regular basis and how much we appreciate not only the efforts you are going through to meet the guidelines set forth for them but also your patience with us. You're definitely all to be commended!



However, we'd like to offer a few reminders for tribute items in particular. We would appreciate it if you would do the following to reduce wait times and your chances of unnecessary denial. Remember, the more information we get, the less we have to go looking up later!



    * sCode works in the section where you can provide us notes. This means you can use image tags, create clickable links, and/or use an item tag to reference an existing site item. This doesn't sound like much, but when there are 50 items in queue, not having to take an extra step to copy/paste several reference links saves a lot of time!

    * We need you to show us your exact reference image(s) rather than just citing the material. Remember, not everyone has heard of or seen whatever you are tributing, so we may not be able to recognize the differences without doing research, which takes time.

    * Similarly, we need you to list out each of your four changes, even if they seem really obvious to you.

    * If you have given your item a Subeta spin, you do not need to then also list all the changes involved in that separately. For example, the following list would be redundant:

    - I referenced the Subeta color glade.

    - I changed the eyes to magenta.

    - I added flowers and moss.

    - I made the body green.

    The last three on this list would all count as part of the Subeta spin. Depending on how similar the original source was to our glade pet color, this may or may not be enough. It's usually safe to err on the side of caution and list a few more changes too.




That's it! Thanks for helping us to help you, and we look forward to seeing many more great items!
Gold Account Users: Autopricer Update Testing
We've made some changes to the autopricer! Rather than having everything processed on one page (which can take a long time and cause the server to timeout), we've now got it processing incrementally and will show you a progress bar (and if something DOES happen to mess it up, you can reload the page to continue processing). We've also removed the long list of changes (since it doesn't add any new information than was on the page prior).



However, this hasn't been pushed live to the site yet because it needs more testing. That's where you come in!



So if you'd like to help test it, go to your autopricer page on my dev site and try it out and post your feedback here or if you run into any problems!



Keep in mind the once per day limit will still apply no matter if you use the current autopricer or this new one.

Profile Comments
Plain Sticky




For the past couple of days, some comments have been eaten. You might have been given an event saying that you had one, only to find you didn't (:(!).



This has been fixed, and you should now get all of the comments that your friends leave you. However, all of the comments during the last few days cannot be retrieved :(.
Cash Shop: New Bobbleheads
Fantine Bobblehead
Rumi Bobblehead
Wyrmgear Bobblehead




The Cash Shop is now giving out an entirely new set of Bobbleheads with a new set of prizes!



We think that the new system handing out bobbleheads is far more fair, and everyone should have a chance to complete it over time, so good luck!



Note: Bobbleheads will no longer be given by any item under 100CSC.

Steamwork Kora and Wyllop




It\'s been a very busy year for Yun Enterprises. Who am I kidding? It\'s been a busy year for me personally and professionally, but we\'re not finished with the surprises this Masquerade! We have two new schematics available to help you construct a steamwork kora or wyllop! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did designing them.



Darn it all. Is that a grease stain on my skirt? Roq Candy is going to kill me.

Bobblehead Change!
Emma Bobblehead
Matlal Bobblehead
Titania Bobblehead




The Cash Shop is starting with spring cleaning on April 10th, with an entirely new bobblehead collection!



All current bobbleheads will be retired, but you will still be able to complete this collection! We are also increasing the frequency of the bottom row bobbles over the next five days.



The new bobbleheads will be given out in a similar way, but you will have a much higher chance (from the start) of getting the \'rare\' bobbleheads.

Steamwork Dillema and Terracoon




Rumor has it that there's an old man in Arctic Frost who will bring toy pets to life for you. That's fun and all-- and I do believe some toys have their uses-- but wouldn't you rather have a pet that serves a real function? Our little magpie, Vic, has been working hard to develop new schematics to release for Masquerade this year. Check out the steamwork dillema and terracoon! If you're interested in having one of these to power your workshop or scope out the finest ladies (you can't argue with me and say that isn't useful!), head over to Yun Enterprises to purchase the proper schematics!

Free Gift: Woodrow
Has it really been a whole year since the last Elwood Day? Hopefully everyone has been keeping up with their wood maintenance. Nothing is as important for wood as being handled often and well.



What's that you say? You're not a wood expert? Don't worry, Elwood has the solution for you. Little Woodrow here is a wood master. He knows how to handle wood, and you can no doubt see that he has a little wood of his own. I bet you could even give him to a pet if they need their wood handled by an expert.
