End of Vesnali

Sadly, Vesnali has ended. Hope everyone enjoyed collecting flowers and coins! You can still stop by and buy things from Esther's!

Don't forget to keep helping Emma with the Centropolis Green Project!

Though I had fun, and I've always known this was not a long event, I do admit that I don't use Twitter and I rarely go no Facebook. I'd have to agree that something like an event ending on-site should be announced on-site over something like Facebook and Twitter. Even if it was just announced on that little yellow-ish bar that pops up at the top of the site every so often to alert me of things.

Luck @

I don't get why the staff prances around saying "Vesnali lasts only one week". Ok so what? Why act like EVERYONE is supposed to know that, but favor facebook and twitter users by giving them a warning about something they should have "already known?"

woot! that was super fun! 3k tokens and i still don't know what to do with them :0

KaidaFyre @

What do I do with all the left-over flowers? They're taking up inventory space...

Sex @

Disney do you think newbies are going to know about that link off the bat? No they wouldn't.
Do you even think most of the players on subeta are gonna look it up and read it? No not really.
Not everyone is going to look for the information. Sometimes if the staff have troubles with their updates like they have been having the past month they will extend things.
Plus it's more convenient to those whom don't have Facebook or Twitter and don't know the exact length.
You shouldn't have to scramble around for any answers. It should be given when asked nicely.
Not everyone is going to use Subeta Groups Jules and not many are going to go on the forums.
Its understandable for newer users not to know. I think the older users should haven't any excuse to say "Well thanks for the warning" if they have been in the event long enough.
But maybe an hour warning to finish off the flower sending would have been better before cutting it off randomly so people had the chance to send what they had while they had it.
Any ways whatever the chase it was nice of them to extend it for as long as they did so I thank them for it.

Vesnali has always been 1 week long, and they do have it on the site.

myshytta @

Im upset.. i have been so busy with real life i barely had time to find flowers.. a couple days warning would of helped :(

0

Godith @

Yeah, warning would have been very much appreciated. What do I do with these seedlings I have now? O.o

0

Rayen @

I'm kinda miffed about the off-site warning. I don't have twitter, I don't see the point and I rarely if -ever- check facebook. There should have been an on-site notice.

0

operationivy @

I do not use Facebook so I would never know about those things. Great event though.

0

SpringMoon @

Looks like the green project is finished, but there are still seeds & bulbs floating around. Clicking on them takes me to the news page instead of collecting them.

0

Julia @

@Jules
The point is, people shouldn't have to rely on things like that to get news that the staff could easily post on the site itself.

0

elfindreams @

Crap! I had all these flowers I was going to give people today, too.. D:

Oh well, guess I'll save 'em for next year...

bulleta @

*spent them
gee whiz sorry i'm awful with english

0

bulleta @

Well okay I guess. I haven't got most of this year's stuff but okay, I had a lot of coins anyway
I just spended them all getting the stuff that was going to be retired.
Well I'll have next year lol
Hope there aren't any retirements then

0

Kimmie_598 @

I agree with everyone. A warning would have been nice. The staff at Subeta need to realize that there are NEW PEOPLE signing up on here everyday, and NOT EVERYONE is going to know when everything is going to end. It is a great event, but a warning on site would have been nice, not a half-assed warning off site.

SarahWrightHere @

The event was wonderful. Thank you guys so much <3

Biohazard @

seeds still pop up but they don't go into inventory guess you can't collect them anymore

Cookie @

It was fun while it lasted!~ I'm glad to get a break from events now, my gallery needs some serious spring cleaning :)

moonstone @

just wanted to say thank you to all the staff involved in running this event...it was fun, tho i'm glad it ended when it did as i was beginning to feel a bit frazzled after two events following so closely on from one another...going to make the most of the down time now and prepare myself for the next event...once again, thank you... :heart:

Botanist @

Really enjoyed the event this year, and all its gorgeous items. I wish it was longer, because I've been really grafting at work and I found doing all the Vesnali stuff in the evening really relaxing and great for taking my mind off stress. And even though I was working long days I managed to get everything I needed from the shop, and had enough flowers left over to buy some lovely art, to boot.

Looks like Emma made a good profit off me, though. I restocked quite a lot of seeds to throw at the Centropolis project just in the off chance there were going to be (gorgeous, botany-related) prizes after the achievements. Guess not? Ah well, you win this time, Emma. Just don't spend all that money I gave you on more awkwardly-placed tattoos.

0

Jenni @

why have I only now, once the event has finished, got a bad of seeds? :P

0

Otter @

Loved the event.I do have to agree with others about the need for a warning.In past one has always been given about the end of the event being near.While I do have and abuse err use my Facebook, I disagree that that is the proper place to post the ending of an event for this site.A extra tip yes but the actual ending for an event?Not every one has or uses Facebook or any other off site social media outlet.

Cacaro @

Ah, too quick, I bought more than I wanted but I still have lots of flowers =/

Sylvanas @

@mudiikip The next would be Fireside I think? Maybe we'll have another summer thing like last years, could be anything really. Probably a restock-war type of thing.

Gothique @

I was just wondering that since we have so many of these seeds do you think we could have the option to grow them in the gardens of Veta Lake?

@Kulo that is not how a business works they do not just say surprise sale is done we didnt tell you at the start how long it would be to bad for you

0

Kulo @

Lol, just like with the trash collecting event, I was 7-8 bulbs and plants away from the last achievement. XD Just my luck. And I still keep hoarding the ones floating around the site.

Also guys... Do your research. If you don't know how long the event is, then find out. That way you can prepare to get what you want WAY ahead of the warning that comes on the second last day.

Just popping in to say that only warning people off-site isn't right. Not everyone wants to subscribe to your Facebook and Twitter posts and there's people that don't even HAVE Facebook or Twitter. On-site warnings are needed.

Lyriel @

uh.. besides all the complaining

is there anything that will happening with the garden, since it seems to be - completed? o.o
we are able to find seeds after all

0

Iron_Maiden @

I agree with everyone else on the warning thing, I was actually saving the remainder of my flowers for just before the ending :/
The event was good though :) The planting thing was a nice side thing. Lots of achievements! :D

0

Lai @

Yeah, I agree with everyone- this was rude to just end without any REAL warning on the site. I am seriously sitting here hoarding a ton of flowers that I was going to mass give to someone for some art on the forums, and now I can't. All that work for nothing, but if I had warning it would have been sent right away.

0

Orchipea @

Not happy about the lack of warning. Offsite warnings don't apply in my opinion, how hard would it have really been to announce it here?

0

Alicia @

I guess I don't ever remember Vesnali *actually* lasting a week.

0

ARU @

While I am not at all upset about it ending, like many other users I would have appreciated a warning on-site. Facebook and Twitter - where it seems the warning was posted - is not Subeta, and I feel should not be used as a reliable bulletin board source. We play on Subeta, and such information should be established through Subeta, not other websites. :(

0

KennaAlana @

Well we finished the garden. What now? ^_^

0

Jai @

This is my first year, and I had no idea the event was supposed to last only a week. It was fun and I enjoyed it, but I cannot imagine why there wasn't a warning posted here. Not all of us check twitter/FB every day. In the future, please post site news ON THE SITE.

0

Avarice @

@Amber http://subeta.net/subetapedia/index.php?act=ventry&id=95

It's only a week long event guys. It's been that way.

you cant say its been that way because some of us never experienced it, ALOT of us.

0

dithoricki @

Just a heads up.

Seeing what people have been writing about subeta staff posting warnings on facebook and twitter. This might not be such a good idea if you're only doing it there and not on the site itself on the news page. I, myself, don't have either twitter or facebook and I bet some other people don't have those as well.

It kinda makes sense that you should post news/warnings on the site itself that it might be about :)

0

BlackCat @

I can understand wanting to post warnings on facebook/twitter but I think they should also be included on the site.

Perhaps as an incentive to use facebook & twitter. Warnings could be put on there "sooner" kind of like having a secret extra place to go you know what I mean? And then later the day posting it on the site.

0

KennaAlana @

Awww :(
It ended so soon.
NEED TO SEND FLOWERS o.e

0

Swizzle @

The only reason I had an idea of when Vesnali was ending was through dumb luck while browsing the forums (there was a user who was asking why Vesnali hadn't ended yet, using evidence that it was supposed to be a "week-long celebration"). I think posting a warning for EVERYONE should have been a priority, though. Not everyone has social networking sites and you can't expect some people to go perusing the forums. A warning was posted for when the Masquerade was coming to a close...so why should Vesnali, a similar event, be any different?

0

Sex @

I think it's obvious that the Staff need to do more warnings on the actual site itself. They need to consider that not everyone has a Facebook account nor want one. Just because some people do have Facebook doesn't mean they are going to tell everyone something the that staff should be saying themselves.
A warning that it was going to end before hand would have been a lot better for the entire user base.
Vesnali was pleasant and fun but start doing warnings more often it'll help keep the complaints down.

0

DarkVixen28 @

Sooo.....How many of us hate that this was only announced on Facebook and Twitter?

Yeah....Pretty sure 98% of the users would have liked this actually announced /on the site/.

WIsh we got a warning.

I got everything I needed. I'm kind of glad that it's over because now I can get more seeds!

also, I would love to see a sandcastle competition this summer (I missed out on that event)

Kinda wish for a small warning, my internet was out most of last night 'cause a storm was coming.
oh well, hope the forums stay up so i can get all those art orders finished. <3
Amazing Vesnali subeta!

0

TrueRukiaFan @

I'm fine with it ending also, but I really wish they had given us a bit of warning first. This seems uncharacteristic of Subeta, since they're usually really good about keeping users in the loop....

CoconutJess @

Aw, that sucks. I thought we would have been given a day's warning, like we were with dancing, so we could send all the flowers we had left :(

Thank you for wonderful Vesnali. :))

Ramon @

My first Vesnali was total blast, I got all items I wanted :)

Kulo @

Phew! Just enough coins to get what I want. XD
What a wonderful first Vesnali for me. I love all of the items!
I wonder if the Bumbus RE is still on? I hope I didn't accidentally go over it at some point! >_<

0

dithoricki @

Aw this was sad.
Even if people knew it was only for one week it would've been nice to get a message the day before saying we got one day left or something along those lines. It's always nice to get a warning :3 people are having so much fun we forget how long it might be left.

0

SpringFire @

Okay so I'm one of the people who still had flowers in my inventory but I'm not going to complain because it was a really good vesnali and I got nearly all the items I wanted. If you still have flowers, throw them in your vault and save them for next year. Not to be mean but stop complaining, it's a nice little site and it's fun to get the items but it's nothing to worked up about if you don't.

Therpsychore @

A warning would have been appreciated. Some of us still have flowers they expected to give.

Great event though!

Vesnali is an annual festival that begins late April and lasts one week

a week is a week !!!! period !!

thanks for the new 2012 items - cool new flowers and very nice new seeds !!!

loved them all and had fun giving them to friends !!

and very glad we have a little break from clicking like mad now :)

masquerade and vesnali are close to eachother lol

A warning would have been nice. Facebook doesn't count for all of us. :(

This Vesnali was fun.
But I agree with the others, a warning that was going to end would have been nice ;3;

(But that bar for the Centropolis Green Project is moving agonizingly slow. It's so close, but so far. x__x; Come on!)

0

Silverfish @

Oooh, so it was told on FB too?
People started whinging on the boards how it's too long already because omg Vesnali u should only last a week and they were told it ends today/yesterday.

Thanks for fun celebration this year, I really enjoyed the art and items! :)

Aww, no new glade pets this year? :( Other than that, Vesnali was great, love all the new Esther shop items :)

0

Moonsie @

Regardless of what Subetapedia said and what was posted on FB, the expectation for a warning on the news page was inevitably there. Other events had warnings. Other sites always have warnings for their events. Heck even stores warn us when their sales are about to end. =P Now that my rage subsided a bit I just have a little request....

Please give us a warning next time. Thank you. (With sugar, whipped cream and a cherry on top! xD)

0

raPUNzel @

Yeah I don't check facebook like /ever/ so it did come as a shock it without a warning as I was expecting a warning onsite that there was a few days left or something. Oh well I got what I needed and made some sP on the flowers :D

manaphy87 @

Well, that was totally not warned of or anything. :(

0

Curiosity @

It was really fun...although warning would have been nice. I have more flowers than I need sitting in my inventory.

0

Joshua @

I don't think there was a need for a site warning.
The Subetapedia article Amber posted clearly states the event lasts for 1 week.
And that article has been there since last Vesnali.

If you've learned anything from this, it is that you need to do your research on the Subeta Holidays.

Kilala @

Sad it's ended, but I had a great time collecting flowers ^^. I was able to collect 302 flowers and this being my first Vesnali event woot woot haha. I don't have any flowers laying around as every flower I caught I sent it to a friend c: so yay for empty inventory ^^. Well, like I said it was fun, had a blast collecting them flowers (:

No warning? I totally would have given away the rest of my flowers... -stares at them- Zhaivde doesn't have any more treasure slots either for them...

It was really fun, as my first ever Vesnali - but a little warning would've been nice - I have so many flowers now, and no clue what to do with them (they are nice and all, and one of my pets collects them... but I have to have around 50 sitting in my inventory now unused :/)

I am fine with it ending tonight, and I am fine with having an update on social media sites... but when the site the EVENT IS HELD ON is NOT NOTIFIED that SAID EVENT IS ENDING, that's where I have the problem. Promote on Twitter and FB all you guys want, but AT LEAST make ONE TINY ANNOUNCEMENT on the site itself. Please? I'm not mad about the event ending, I'm mad that it seems so difficult to post on the site itself...

0

zoocreeper @

I get that it's only a week long and I guess that's my bad for not paying attention, but is there some reason why we can't continue to give people flowers when they're still floating around the site? I just picked one up like 20 seconds ago, and it would've been nice to empty out the rest of them sitting in my inventory :B

0

Pinocchio @

Extremely sudden... Did not know how long it lasted. Drat, I still have some flowers left. Ah, well. Maybe they will be usable next Vesnali. All my Vesnali coins got bought out(I had over 1000 of them) within minutes... Wow.

Cloves @

I'm sad it's over... but I'm already excited for the next Vesnali (:
Flowers are-eh, stockpiled, yes :P

0

Kaylene @

This was a lot of fun, I was actually very active over this celebration and got a tonne of stuff! Loving my wardrobe at the moment! I am glad I don't have too many flowers left over. I never saw the announcements either since I don't check my Twitter or Facebook all that often; I think a news post here the day before will cut down on a LOT of complaints regarding the sudden ending of things.

That said, it was a great Vesnali. I'm kind of relieved there are no events for a while, the constancy of them from February to now is a little overwhelming! (Though I imagine I'll probably be extremely bored after a month or so. We don't have a summer event/plot, do we? Delphi would be a great place to hold one if there ever were. Maybe a summer Illumis festival, summer nights and fireflies sound wonderful.)

0

Nova @

I can totally get with the fact it's only a week long event.. but honestly, with the way the events have been going lately, and EVERYTHING seemingly lasting hellatiously (yes, it's a word, because I said so) it's not really all that surprising for people to be surprised that it went quick (from the standpoint of "everyone else has been given extra time, so why not this" and super short compared to the length of the last couple of events). I'm pretty sure it would be a LOT quicker to just do one news post on here also, than "posting around" about it ending, so everyone would know.

Not bitching for my own purposes, as thankfully I saw the Facebook post, but.. just saying, I get it.

This was my first semi-active Vesnali, though I'm pretty sure this is one of the shortest Vesnali events, EVER. It was pretty fun though!
More surprising was the fact that there was no warning on the site - I thought I may have missed it due to my inactivity this week. (In the crowd of people without a Twitter account and a very inactive Facebook account. xD)

I still wish we could have gotten an actual warning. Not everyone knows that it only lasts a week. But it was fun and I got nearly all the items I wanted so I'm happy

Really wish we got a warning on the actual website. Not everyone uses Facebook.

All of the people on my friends list had it posted in their status that it was ending tonight. Maybe it was mentioned somewhere? I thought everyone knew :/ It's only supposed to be a week anyway, according to the Subetapedia. We got an extra day and a half!
