The Bake Stop: More Baked Goods!
Hi, there!



I'm not sure if you recognize me, but it's Fantine! Quite a change, right!? Uhm, anyway, I just wanted to remind people that I have a lot of exciting new stock in The Bake Stop to help you celebrate the holiday. I just thought I should remind people, since I'm not seeing as much traffic this year!



So come on down, tell your friends! I have lots of new and interesting items like



Chocolate Chip Brain Stuffed Cookie Sandwich
Grape Filled Pie Slice
Cranberry Brain Bran Muffin
Delicate Lime Puff Pastry
Glacier Fester




What\'s that you say? Spring is right around the corner, and the weather is warming up? Really? Because glacier festers are telling a different story at Arctic Frost and don\'t seem too happy about it.

Graveyard Donadak and Xotl




Once again, Shadowglen citizens aren't the only ones looking like they just came back from the grave. Graveyard donadaks and xotls have been seen roaming topside. It should be easy to bring one into your home, should you so choose. (How fast can they possibly move?)
The Lost Skeleton
So, let's say that you undead, looking for a place to get festive and celebrate the holiday. What can you do? Where can you go that would have an exciting selection of food and beverages to fit your very refined and elegant undead palate? If only there were some kind of pub that one could find, maybe in the underground, that was now fully repaired and ready for discerning customers of taste and sophistication.



Fresh Brain Burger
Entrail Nasty Pasty
Finger Food
Blood Sauce with Fried Fingers
Zombie Beer




That would be really cool.

Fragmentizer Shop & Kissing!
Hi, everyone! I wanted to apologize for the late delivery of my flowers this year, but these frosts have been wreaking havoc, even with my green houses! There should now be enough flowers to go around. Hopefully everyone will be able to pay their respects at the memorial, now.



Don\'t forget to give your very special friends a peck on the cheek, either. It wouldn\'t be in the spirit of the season to forget something like that.
Glacier Cybill




They may not be Unliving, but you have to admit that glacier cybills do a good impersonation.

Site Preferences: Stealth Mode
Helpful Gull Plushie




We noticed that the Stealth Mode setting in User Preferences was set to on automatically when a new user registered, which was causing confusion (and users thinking their new friends were never online :().



This has been changed, and we suggest taking a look at your preferences to ensure you have them set up correctly.
Survival Celebration Update




This is Channel 5 News, your best source for up to date information.



It has been a quiet year so far. While a few new strains of the Zombie Virus have popped up, medical experts are saying they were prepared, and that a cure is already in the works. Is this the sign of good things to come? This reporter will continue to avoid Shadowglen all the same!



But that isn't true for many people, it seems! It appears that people are flocking to Shadowglen, probably to enjoy the thrill of the Zombie capital while the danger level remains low. Tourists are encouraged to stay safe, and to see their doctor for any relevent innoculations before their trip.



Thankfully, there have been no sightings of suspicious packages this year, but citizens are encouraged to keep an eye out for unusual activity and report it to the appropriate authorities.

Subeautique: Spring Cleaning


Giselle Rosebud Cameo Necklace
Argo Red Alert Cheek Piercings
Professor New Old-Skool Pants
Professor New Aviatricks Jacket
RoQ Candy Xtra Shoelaces






You know what they say darling, Fashion is made to become unfashionable. So I've taken it upon myself to retire the bulk of our merchandise in the Subeautique.



I have a duty to keep fashion fresh, though, and so we've got three new designer lines for you to pick apart! Bow-E Plumeria, Merryday Tumbling and Giselle Never Say Neverland!






Bow-E Plumeria Crumpled Slip
Bow-E Plumeria Stockings
Item not found: bow-e plumeria hairspray
Bow-E Plumeria Eyeliner


MerryDay Tumbling Toffee Lipstick
MerryDay Tumbling Toffee Eyeshadow
MerryDay Tumbling Toffee Wig
MerryDay Tumbling Toffee Bow


Giselle Never Say Neverland Lock Of Hair
Giselle Never Say Neverland Chunky Sneakers
Giselle Never Say Neverland Leather Jacket
Giselle Never Say Neverland Ragged Shirt




Also, a note, fashion lovers. I've noticed a pattern of designers elsewhere in Subeta encroaching on our amazing and standard-setting clothing, so I've raised the prices on all of our clothing and increased the rarity.

Multiple Infections
Just pushed a change to fix the multiple new infections thing. It won't take effect until the affected user actually loads a page, so you may still see some around for users that haven't logged in or whatever.



I took the site down for a few minutes to take a backup of all of the hex data just in case something goes wrong with this code; if it does all hexes will be rolled back to then. But I'm confident it will be fine! :)



ALSO: Please note that HAs are cached for like five minutes or so, so your HA might look like it still has multiple infections but that doesn't mean it does.
Survival 2012: The Memorial
It has been three long years since The Great Pandemic rocked our way of life, and so it is time for us to show our respect and love for those who perished (or worse!). The Seedlings Shop is stocking flower arrangements, both new and old, to set at the memorial, and the Bake Stop is sure to have some special new treats to show your friends and family how much they mean to you.



No one can tell for sure what this year will hold, but this reporter is hoping for a peaceful holiday. Channel 5 will continue to report on the holiday festivities as they unfold! Please join our special pay-per-view coverage on channel 288 later for the Chancellor's speech and a moment of silence for the fallen.

Charms Have Shipped!




UPDATE! Subeta charms are on their way!



If you placed an order for charms for us back in December, we are thrilled to let you know that they have finally been shipped out and are on their way to you! Your order shipped from Chicago on Saturday, so keep your eye out for them! Here are some notes about the orders:



    * All orders were shipped USPS First Class mail. This means, unfortunately, that we do not have tracking information for each envelope.

    * All orders were shipped to the address exactly as it was written in your order. We cannot be responsible for orders lost in the mail due to incorrect addresses.

    * If any orders are returned to us, we will contact you directly to get corrected shipping information and attempt to resend them to you.




We'd like to thank everyone who ordered the charms, and especially for tolerating the long wait to get them to you. We know it was a frustrating process, and we really appreciate your patience! We have learned a lot about trying to facilitate our own retail sales, and if we decide to do something like this again, you can be assured that we will apply what we have learned to make the process easier and faster for you.



As a token of our appreciation for your patience and understanding, everyone who ordered charms from us has had their account credited with 500 Cash Shop Credits. Thanks again, and hopefully you'll see your charms in your mailbox very soon!

Job Agency is live!


The Job Agency in Centropolis is officially out of beta testing and live on the site to all members! Subeta would like to thank all of those Gold Account members for their support and extensive feedback.



A few new features were recently added during the beta and feedback stage such as random bonuses (strength, level, and intelligence), job histories, the pet's job title on its profile, wage increases, the return of the SAI industry, achievements and more.



As we've mentioned on its beta release, all game data has been truncated and all users are on the same playing field for its site-wide release.

Nostalgic Aeanoid and Devonti


Nostalgic Aeanoid Instructions
Nostalgic Aeanoid Toy
Nostalgic Devonti Instructions
Nostalgic Devonti Toy




Have you been looking for the latest nostalgic pet toys to add to your growing collection? Come on over to my shop, because we\'ve just received new instructions for an aeanoid and devonti! (I\'m told an old man in Arctic Frost will help you put it together if you\'d like.) And if you\'re too antsy to wait to get it from my shop, the good folks at the Token Shop bought some to resell, but you\'ll have to be quick! They go fast.

Cool Features Reminder!




Every once in awhile we like to remind you about cool features on Subeta that sometime get forgotten!



Today I'm going to remind you about the Suggestions page, that tells about friends, forum groups, and topics that you might want to take a look at, based on what your other friends are doing!



To get there in the future, you go to interact in the drop downs, and select suggestions!



If you don't have any suggestions, it means that you need to make a couple more friends! If you haven't already, introduce yourself, and browse the forums for topics that interest you ;)!

Back Up!
Welcome Back!




Welcome back Subeta! We're bringing everything back online, and we apologize for the extended downtime. We had some technical problems resulting in having to import all of our data instead of just being able to "upgrade" our data when we updated to the newest version of our database engine!



We're here now, and hopefully the upgrade results in a faster, more stable Subeta, especially for upcoming events ;).



Just a note, you may notice some slight hiccups or disruptions in the site for the next day while we tweak our configuration to match this version of MySQL and get the most out of our setup.



Again, thank you so much for your patience!

Server Maintenance




We will be taking the site down for maintenance at 1AM Subeta time tonight, to do database work. We will be doing a number of things, including exporting (making a backup) of the existing data, pruning and dropping data that is no longer used, and upgrading our version of MySQL. We will have a complete backup of all the data before any of these changes right from the start, as well!



We will have updates on Facebook and Twitter during the downtime, and we will be reblogging art and other fun things on our tumblr!
Item Change: Elixirs
Lilac Ontra Elixir
Dusk Tigrean Elixir
Golden Torrey Elixir




I'm sure you noticed, but today we changed the general pricing of all of the elixirs in The Magic Box. We did a couple of things:



1. Increased the prices on all elixirs about 7-10x the price they were, depending on rarity.

2. Removed all elixirs from vending machines.



Our goal is to make elixirs profitable for restockers, and something that new (and old!) users have to save for to get. Right now at a price of 1,000sP and just sitting in the magic box (or easily vendable, or purchase from a user for 50sP) there was no need to worry about getting an elixir.
