I just got an AoN from the hustler on 10/18 so they do still at least go out.
FCoD
Crap, I missed it again.

@Immortal

Invitation accepted. Tears flowing. Shop still refreshing.

I'm going to invite @Lolessa to the group crying party because that's just salty luck imo

@Immortal @jersey
GROUP CRYING!!
Lolessa
Are you kidding me! I missed the restock because I was . . . fragging . . . to make sure I had enough crystals in time for the next restock. Aah this sucks so badly. Restocking in tiny amounts is just frustrating because it means the purchase timer has reset and the same few people can gobble them all up each time. This ain't it.
ShayBaby
Yasss! Managed to snag one for the first time in over 11 years on Subeta. One down, at least 2 to go...
jersey
Same, went to dinner. Odds on restock after I've gone to bed is high.
Immortal
@Bliss - At least you aren't alone. We can commiserate together /sobs
Bliss
@Immortal
I'm currently making dinner as well. I leave and they restocked -_-
turbid
I got one.... holy moly that was intense
Immortal
I went to make dinner and I missed them. :/
Bliss
Seriously?? Gone in 3min
Immortal
@Disasters - Just going off of what Ajay said. I should have been a little more clear. My apologies ^^;

Bliss

Thespian

@AJAY @Ryuu
I've been playing for 14 years and NOT once, have I managed to get a remote.
Ariel
I can ask the BAs about that!
Immortal
Can I say that I think it's utter garbage that someone has to point out that it's been over 6 years since the last time the AON was released? I'm not trying to be mean or start a fight, but that's pretty crappy if you ask me. :P

when there's 90+ comments you know the replies get juicy

this is the type of rare item that is only rare so that you have a hard ass time finishing your collections and shit.
Julie
I don't need this to cap my pet, I just would like to read it to my pet. XD
Hope it comes back again.

@Ariel that’s comic considering not only the prices we see now are inflated due to having three large battle events in the past three months, but it’s almost as if it’s the amount people need to cap out and the number of people boosting at any given time that have more of an effect than releasing boosters into the market. Like, you know, all those tomes and amulets the challengers were giving out like candy without returning to pre-gelly war prices. You created a situation that fed an inflated market, but now you want to strangle item supplies under the claim that you’re protecting a market that’s already broken.

Because it’s a rare item and we don’t want that many going out.

Amulet of Neutrality

and just fyi... the last time ( little over 6 years ago ) the AoN's were put into Crystal shop, they were priced @ 25K crystals ! I bought atleast 1 !
Also, here is the news post:

The remotes get re-released about every 2 years, so dont get any this time, just wait another 2 yrs. :)

and why have the remote gone up 1k crystals ( from 2k to now 3k ), from 4 years ago? Have the stats gone up?

Oh and today is Nov. 4th, yesterday was the 3rd of Nov. just fyi
Lolessa
Dang I’m so disappointed I missed this! Sucks to be on the opposite timezone to the site :( But congrats to everyone who managed to pick one up!
Nova
A remote control that feels like it will be the final book my pet will be waiting to read.... what kind of life is this?
THESOVEREIGN
@Ariel

Your not even close to affecting the stat booster market if they are still selling on the secondary market at 150mil+

It's basically 5 tomes, so as long as long as you keep the price above 30mil on the secondary market you could release a ton of them.

If you stocked it at 20K crystals that would price it at a point where the booster market wouldn't even see it as a booster.

If you priced it at 10K crystals and released 200 of them, It would be like adding 500 tomes of value into the market something the market easily absorbs probably 5-15x of for any given plot. And thats before the fact that x number of them would probably be wasted on pets that don't need the stats just for the achievement.

If the reason is the stat booster aspect of it, your not even close to affecting it. And I say this as someone who already has the achievement and a maxed pet so it doesn't affect me one way or the other.

Your current pricing model only helped keep the achievement rare.

I don't have 3,000 Crystals ANY WAYS. >_< lololol
Sincere
While I understand the frustration of not being able to restock it I think the approach is correct.

Some items are meant to be rare, otherwise there is little to work towards. I like having to work hard towards an item.

Some items are not meant to be easily accessible to everyone.

Players who have been on the site for 10+ years, some have poured significant funds into rare items. Balance is needed to keep it fair for everyone.
Victoria
350 CSC not sp. sorry.
Victoria
I paid 100 mill sp and 350 sp. I have no idea if that is a good deal, bad deal or what but it was what I was willing to pay to get that achievement out the way LOL. Good luck everyone else on getting it the next restock :)
Johnny_673
glad I don't hoard crystals so I don't have to worry about trolling 0 : -)
Sekhmet
Subeta is apparently run by trolls.
Dandelion
@Victoria what did you pay? Looks like any subsequent restock is going to happen while I'm asleep, or at work, so I'm out of luck because this is a fair thing.
Victoria
Well spent all my money and bought one in trades but Yay got the achievement finally!

Colson gained:
2 level(s)
5 strength
17 defense
3 intelligence
15 health points
5 speed points
Not seeing how that would break battling. I get that in about 3-5 free mage tomes,lol.
Victoria
Can the stats just be lowered on it to make it not mess up battling? That way more could be put in circulation?
Immortal
Man, hopes dashed as soon as I searched the shop. :/ I get not releasing a ton of them but geez...
BoneCollector
pffrfttt and another year to wait to be able to restock a remote control this is ridiculous !!! why not being able to restock one like on the token shop you can only restock one in hours !!!!

in ten years i could read it once to one pet - so i still need 5 of them to read once to the five other pets and then i need one to feed it to my gourmand pet !!! and maybe then after all that i can use it

once as a booster in say ...............like a year of 10 or so ??????!!!!! rolls eyes oh well ......................
Saix
Dammnnn this is a rough one
Rogue
@Ariel
I never said or implied it was limited quantity because it was an achievement item. I was disagreeing with Silvy's comment that a higher quantity should be released at a much higher(x10+) price tag. I don't think achievement items should be released at such a high price tag as they suggested. I like the price tag it was released at.
pumpkins
I do appreciate re-releases of items so that there is still desirability but given there is a timer, It would be nice if a few more were released with fewer restocks - so that at least the 50 or whatever that is released in one stock won't be going to the same people?

(Compared to say if 15 were released every hour, technically the same 15 people could get them every time if they were.. stalking the shop avidly)
Ariel
@Rogue
Generally speaking, most goals are attainable on site. Albeit some takes more work and patience. This isn’t limited (on my end) because of the achievement, but because it’s a good stat booster. It’s a little precarious to get some out to make them attainable without totally messing up the battle population. It’s often hard to find the good balance of getting older items out without being super disruptive and also being as fair as we can, but it’s something we consider every time we do.
