Pet Spotlight Update!




The Pet Spotlight has undergone a revamp! The rules have been updated and clarified to be a little clearer and simpler, and we now are able to give denial reasons when we reject pets from the spotlight. We've also updated our Pet Spotlight forum thread where we will be able to continue clarifying if need be, as well as adding things like helpful guides and examples.



One of the main rule updates is to the 'Show us your pet' section. Some users felt prior guidelines implied that as a pet spotlight, we were looking to spotlight pets only and not humanoid-type characters. We having been accepting human characters for a while, but have reviewed and updated the rules to be clearer: It is now a requirement to include your actual Subeta pet, or Custom overlay equivalent, on your pet profile. We want to see the connection between Subeta's artwork and your character creation!



We look forward to seeing your spotlight entries, and to helping you achieve those spotlight trophies!



Note: There will be a two-week grandfathering-in period in which any pet currently in the queue to win could potentially still win with their human character. We will be messaging each user in the win queue that doesn't follow the rule update to give them a chance to change it, but after two weeks the new rules will be fully in motion for every user.

CW Change -- Allowing more limbs (and brows)!
Hello #officialcw and Subeta! I'm pleased to announce a new change to the Custom Wearable rules.



Up until now, we have allowed you to do custom limbs such as mermaid tails, elf ears, etc, but have required that items cannot be made that will 'move' the avatar's limbs. Per the rules:



Quote:
You may not submit any images that edit the avatar base or replace features in any way. This includes repositioning arms or legs, but also restricts drawing original facial features. You may submit clothing that enhances these features such as makeup that works with existing base eyes or lips.




Well -- I am pleased to announce that this will no longer be the case! You are now allowed to make items that can move the limbs! Here are some official items as examples:



Chill Remedy
Purple Ornate Fan
Delish Vir Skirt




These will be included in the 5000 CSC pricing category as part of "All base edits".



We are also going to start allowing eyebrows to be submitted! These will be included in the 4000 CSC pricing category as part of "Makeup".



At this time, we will still not be accepting user-made mouths/lips, noses, and eyes. The rules for base edits have been rewritten on the CW submission page to reflect that this is the only base edit no longer allowed (as long as the other CW rules are followed, of course).



Thank you so much for your continued support and awesome submissions -- we cannot wait to see what new, creative things you all come up with!

Cash Shop: Too Hot Porridge




This Sentient Porridge doesn’t look just right at all! In fact, it looks extremely angry.



Too Hot Porridge




You can unlock this (possibly) delicious challenger with the Too Hot Porridge item from the Cash Shop. Hopefully it doesn’t burn you too badly!

Cherry and Silver Chelon and Tutani!






The summer sun shines brightly and many of us would love to take to the water to cool off, just like the new cherry and silver chelon and tutani! If there's no water near by, maybe you can resort to a cool bath. Or throw a glass of water over your head. Whatever works.

Throwback Challengers!






It’s time for Throwback Challenger Thursday, which means rotating out which challengers are available to fight in the Throwback tab of the Battle Coliseum. You no longer need to feel bad for beating down the various Pylot challengers!



This month, you’ll have a chance to battle Large Mud Crab, Daemon (Servant of the Seas), and Moradon. Each of these opponents have had new loot added to them, so enjoy!



You have until August 11th to fight these three challengers.



The regular Daemon opponent will return next month when we rotate the throwback challengers.

Pet Transfer Update
Chibi Pet Rock
Best Pet Sticker
Kumos Party Animal Doll




Good news for pet people out there! Now when you transfer a pet, it must be accepted or rejected. This means you won’t have a random user sending you pets anymore.



When you go to transfer a pet, you can choose an expiration time. You can choose no expiration, 1 day, 7 days, and 30 days. After the time you selected, the transfer request will become invalid.



If you’re the pet owner, you can cancel the request before it’s expired or before the other person accepts if you’ve changed your mind.

Chase the Challenger




Do you ever feel like punching Chase in the face but missed out grabbing him as a challenger from Item Hunt? Well, today is your lucky day! Chase has graciously decided that anyone that’s finished level 100 can now pay to unlock him as a challenger.



If you’re still working on completing Item Hunt, you still have a chance to get him if you fail or quit after level 75. The sP option is just for those who weren’t able to unlock him before maxing out Item Hunt!

Storm Bumbus and Darkonite!




Oh dear, the storm bumbus seems to be having a little trouble in all this rain. It's hard to get to the flowers in weather like this! The storm darkonite doesn't seem impressed at all. Maybe you can give it a little hug? Although, the darkonite was never big for cuddles in the first place.
