The Free Shop has opened it's doors, and it is where all future giveaways will be held! Tonight we will be testing it out :)
You might want to watch for these two items, that can only be found in this giveaway!
Just so you know - this shop restocks just like any other shop. Meaning that all the items in the giveaway will be restocking over time ;) This means that one time zone is NOT favored over others :)
Also, if it's empty, make sure to stick around. This giveaway should last through to tomorrow :)

It normal missing stuff, guys. Almost all users online are trying to get the items...
I have a fast connection through roadrunner. It takes me 5min to load the shop once.

And you call that fair? I don't think it's a great trade off for different timezone, if that ever truly was a problem to begin with."
I truly believe the only real upset was due to the Hollow items rsing. Take those bigger items out and life would be wonderful.

Oi x.x I don't really like the codes, it's hard enough having to scroll down and search for an item, clicking it, clicking yes and all that x.x BUT I do appreciate the fact that you actually care to even do these things for us, so thanks a bunch keith!

I give up Good Luck to everyone else though I didn't really care for restocking much when I was doing it for the Restock war, would rather not even try that go through the frustration of RS after RS of not being fast enough for even the more common items. In all Sincerity though, Thank you Keith for trying something new.</blockquote>
Ditto.
smiles and closes the free shop window
Have fun everyone!

AWESOME! I snagged myself a feli hat a humming power crystal and a feild light bulb. This is awesome Keith thanks!
It sounds like an interesting idea but I can't help feeling it will seem even more 'uneven' (for lack of a better word) than the DC giveaways. I guess time will tell <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> ut it is none the less a lovely idea.
Gah! I mindlessly refreshed to check the time since the last restock, came here to read comments, went back and realized the shop actually had restocked. XD Interesting solution; I think I like it so far.
It's a great idea.... for people who can get those items at speeds faster than the blink of an eye. >___>;;;
Not exactly very fair for the rest of us who can only go so fast. :

I don't like this idea : Every item I've clicked so far [even with multiple in stock] end up being sold out after I type in the word! >< Ill keep trying though...
There should be a limit on how many items one person can get otherwise I think there will still be a lot of complaints
Put a limit on the amount of items you can grab then, if it's impossible to make everyone wait five minutes. And what's with the "last restock - 12 minutes ago" if it restocks every 4-8 minutes?
This is a great idea. Thanks to Keith and the staff <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
lol @ anyone complaining. Just be grateful.

Whoa! Just got a page with like 40 items on it at once. Still didn't get anything, but that makes me much more happy then being in tiny intervals. Who knows, maybe this'll work after all. <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
wow I've gotten myself a Feli Flop Hat, it feels nice to have a really fast connection, although I feel this puts people with modems at a disadvantage :/
Crashy: I have a fast connection and I'm losing out on everything anyways...x_x
Also...I don't really think using further apart stocks is fair to those who HAVEN'T managed to get anything. Why should we have to wait, and then probably end up with the people that grabbed stuff on last RS getting it again?

I saw someone who had gotten more then eight items already, and I've gotten nothing. Could we have a timelimit, please? Like in the DC? I really want a Feli Hat, but I simply can't compete with the professional restockers. :/
The items don't <strong>last</strong> five seconds. There is already that limit in place. Remember that there are 500 people in that shop, waiting.

I have a superfast connection and I got to the Captcha page... once.

Maybe instead of making it like a normal shop but with only free items, you could have a combination of a shop and the DC. Make the layout like the DC where only a few rows of items show up, but have it ''restock'' like the shops. At least have the rare items restock like that, and there could be a crap-load of common/normal items to sift through. If the codes were removed I suppose I would be more ok with it, but it's still making the site lag <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> Isn't the DC set up so that the databases don't go haywire with all the refreshing? Yeah, just a suggestion...
Keith & Subeta staff, this warrants the 2nd sincerest appreciation I have ever shown you.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Well, congrats to all of you who are good at restocking and have a fast connection. This should be really fun for you

Right now the shop is restocking more than it usually will - but it usually will restock every 4-8 minutes. Meaning put a 5 minute timer on the items would be moot
Maybe I'm just lazy but I'd rather be angry about missing out completely than being here and missing everything. Wouldn't it be easier to set a timer or something for the donation center that's like a shop restocker? Sorry, I just don't see how it's a giveaway when you have to rs the items. With so few items restocking and no limit now, it seems even more unfair than before.

Well, for every item missed, someone IS gaining an item.
I'm afraid it won't be me unless it's sheer dumb luck.. so.. yeah..
But, it is something, and as Keith said, the items are free.
If an item in there is something I really want, then I'll just have to shell out the points later for it.
shrugs
Simple as that.
Yes, I do like it though. There cannot be a happy medium here, as there will still be complaints, but given the options, Keith(and team?) made the best of the situation.

I agree with ciannwn. This seems really unfair because you can see all of the good stuff at once instead of just having a "chance" to see it, like at the donation corner.
Why can't someone just stick around for a bit and gradually drop items into the DC? That would be the most logical fix.

Please put in a time limit, like in the old Donation Center? I can get nothing, AND I have a fast connection.
Awesome feature, and wonderful concept. I think this is the best possible way any giveaway could ever be implemented. Beautiful work guys!

Its a really really nice idea, but it would be terrific if you could just click the item.
Why couldn't the donation corner be programmed to restock like a shop when there's a giveaway? As nobody sees all the items at once there's a chance for everyone to get something. Also, with the 5 minute wait it evens things out a bit.
Aww, I liked the old giveaways x(
The items here get snatched up in mere seconds...people with slow connections don't stand a chance. <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" /> Anyways, I guess I'll try later...I just sat through 4 restocks without managing to grab anything, only got to the haggle screen once. xD
