Adoption Forum Update
Some of you may have noticed our Adoption forum rules were a bit outdated. We've removed some of these rules from the Adoption forum to bring it more in line with the rest of the forums. Good lucks and the like are no longer considered spam. We also realize that what makes a pet special is not limited to color. All pets are now able to be listed in the main Adoption forum, regardless of the pet's color.

Summer in Centropolis Doll Gift Set


Angela Summer Fashion Doll
Avery Summer Fashion Doll
Daniel Summer Fashion Doll
Kit Summer Fashion Doll




Now introducing a new reality series on the Channel 5 Network, Summer in Centropolis. Follow the lives of Angela, Avery, Daniel and Kit as they make or break their careers in the cutthroat business culture of Centropolis.



Esmerelda says, "Two thumbs up. Their sense of fashion is killer!"

Saggitarius says, "I have four televisions, one for each character. I can't stop watching! That Avery is a go-getter."

Nathaniel says, "The hair! This is why I work in Centropolis. You can't find style like this just anywhere."



I'm told the Cash Shop is selling these high quality fashion dolls in commemoration of the series premier. Buy them individually, or purchase a gift set at a slight discount.

Book Glitch


Some of you may have noticed that your Reading Drive points have decreased a bit. About 325 books were accidentally duplicated. We ran a script that removed all duplicates, updated points accordingly, and placed the duplicates in users' inventories.
CS: Most Popular


The Most Popular list of the Cash Shop is now based on sales within the past month as opposed to all time sales, as it was previously. You can now see which items are hot and trending!

Reading Drive Book List


The Reading Drive has been updated to only show the images if the user has turned in less than 250 books. Users who have turned in more than 250 books will have to click the link provided to see them. Book lists have also been switched to alphabetical order.
June 9, 2011
Read Book Glitch


We purged about 300 non-book items from the books read list for pets. From time to time, an item either glitches or a setting is accidentally changed and it becomes readable or collectible. We regularly run scripts to remove such items from collections, but we overlooked books read.



So about 300 Apples, Blob Kitties, and even Poo Hats, were removed from books read list and were placed back into the users' inventories.
Aggregated Forum News


We update Subeta dozens of times a day, but only the large and substantial features make it to the news. We're going to start utilizing the Announcements Forum in conjunction with the news to update you about our minor changes. These changes are typically not large enough to be posted to the news, but not small enough to be ignored. By default, your News feed now aggregates information from both the Announcements Forum and the News.



Of course, we acknowledge that not everyone wants to receive multiple notifications a day about minor changes. You can revert back to the old system and ignore the aggregated news from the Announcements by updating your preferences.



Feel free to ask a question or share your thoughts about the system in a forum reply!

Magic Box: Xotl Elixirs
Twilight Xotl Elixir
Item not found: xotl elixir
Dusk Xotl Elixir
Golden Xotl Elixir




We\'ve just gotten word that an unannounced shipment of exotic bottles filled with bright and colorful liquids has just arrived on the mainland. Closer research has shown they are from the Omen Islands, and are elixirs to turn existing pets into xotls! They are presently being doled out to the appropriate merchandisers and are available anywhere elixirs are sold!



(That\'s the Magic Box, by the way. They have a planet-wide monopoly).



New Pet: Xotl






HELLO, PIGS.



MATLAL WORKING HARD IN ISLANDS, MAKING POISON FROM XOTL SLIME. HE MAKE CAGE, AND XOTLS MAKE BABIES. SO MANY BABIES.



TOO MANY CAGES NOW, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR MATLAL AND BARON. THEY EAT ALL FOOD, AND BARON CANNOT EVEN BITE THEIR FINGERS (TOO MANY POISON). PLEASE TAKE AWAY XOTLS, BUT DO NOT LICK XOTLS - YOU WILL DIE.



ACTUALLY, DO LICK.

It looks like the waters of Peka Glade can bring life to even the most unlively of pets. Take the glade harvester, for instance. Fascinating!
