I've made a few... fun changes to the Free Shop!
Now all the free items are hidden in boxes, so everyone has a chance to grab the good stuff :)!
The number of items that are being restocked have been increased as well.
Happy Luminaire everyone!

I love this idea <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" /> it's not about the item, it's about the fun. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
I adore the new change, and love the fact that everything's in boxes now. But...people still know generally which box contains which item. Is there any way you can make them completely random? Maybe stack some Billboards at the bottom, and the GA medals toward the middle...put some Blush or Melody items at the top, and just generally scatter everything? There are still people getting an unfair advantage because they know the order of the boxes. x.x;
But I adore the idea, and I'm SO thankful that you did it this way. =3 I love mystery presents!

I haven't got anything great, but I have got some stuff since the change <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> Thank you, it is so much more fair this way. And it's free stuff, so no matter what it's nice. Sure I would love a medal or a billboard, but who wouldn't. Also I do miss the dc, but oh well, I miss 1996 too. Neither one are coming back.
This was a great change. :3
Though I don't think they should be in alphabetic order. (This is NOT a complain, it's an opinion)
Rocks anyway. x3333

I LOVE the idea of the gift boxes, it gives everyone a chance and it's always a surprise. I hope the entire thing is done this way next year =) KUDOS on coming up with this idea!
I love this! Finally everyone has a chance for the good stuff, not just the folks who can type really fast.
Thankyou for doing this the Free Shop has been awesome especially now with them wrapped so much more fun and a lot more fair.
To those of you that have complained and some that are still complaining, it's FREE people.
If they gave you a million dollars cash you would probably complain about the color of the money! geesh!!

I think the 5min rule is cool,but not the box wrapping. There is like billboards in the shop,but you don't know which one it is <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
No, I'm not greedy, I've fun I'm for 1-2 hours at the free shop and got some nice things..
But if I read from some they got 6 Gift Cards or 9 Goldaccount medals I think how greedy...

I like the new system. My computer and internet are pretty speedy, but I took too long deciding what I wanted under the old system. I rarely got anything, lol! Now I get something on almost every restock. Whoot! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I can't believe you people! Its free stuff. Is everyone here greedy and spoiled brats? I understand complaining about clicking on the boxes and finding it sold out and not getting anything - that is very frustrating...but getting stuff and still being unhappy? If you don't like what's being given away, don't click on the boxes. And be happy I'm not on the subeta team, because if I were I wouldn't be doing this again EVER, no more giveaways on account of too much greedy complaints.

I think every time the free shop stocks they should be boxed or wrapped. I like it better this way.
Sorry, I know i've already posted but please get rid of the melody items <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" />
i've been at fs for around 2 hours and all i've gotten is meoldy items.
But yeah..

The box I choose is always "sold out" when I try to lay my hands on it.And then I have to wait 3-7(!) minutes until it restocks.And then everything repeats.And when I get something...it's a Melody item(( too bad for me.Please,please, pay attention to Silkwood's word.Please.
I like the idea for the gift boxes. I find the melody items though..everyone already has all of them since they were gifts to us before. Lots of people also have already stocked up. All I seem to get are the same melody items over and over again. That's if I have a chance to grab a gift. I haven't gotton anything really good yet other then melody items. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
I don't think I like the melody items.. I mean a couple were nice, but then it was like.. well there goes the worth of them XD but I really like the giftbox idea - it's so much better! thanks!
I agree with Pagel, I get a lot of those and they go in the donation center. But it must be difficult coming up with ideas, so...
The change is wonderful,
but the Melody items are seriously annoying. :c
Especially to people who keep getting them.

Why can't you take away melody items <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" />
that way people are more likely to get something good for once.
Other than that i really enjoy the free shop.
5 minute waiting sucks but is a excellent idea!
Right On!

I think it's good idea but when I'm coming to shop and there are items I can't see them and even click on them.. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> And if there is nothing in th shop it shows me normally that there is nothing in the shop <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> Please help

Its deffenitly much bette, but i defenitly see its alhabeticlay ordered :3 I think it randomly stocks now, i think...
i like the idea as well, but i think it needs to be improved a bit, as the items are still ordered alphabethicaly i think
so it's again the problem the gift cards, and the gold accout medal are infront of the other items, so only the fast people can get them because they know where they are
besides of that everything is fine.
i would have made better deals without it, but it's more fair for all others and absolutely the better solution

Thank you for all the free items <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
although I miss the fun frustration of refreshing for that perfect item and the challenge of going for it - the surprise in the opening of the boxes makes up for it!!! Great solution and thank you again <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I know it would make no difference, but I'd like to see ALL the wrapping papers being used. It would be a wave of color!
THANK YOU. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
I'm no dial-up, my Internet is pretty fast, still, I like it this way more. Because I fail at catching things xD

Awe.
It's harder to get nice things now. ;_;
At least it's fairer for the dial-up Subetans.

Is there any way for you guys to mix the items up so they don't show up alphabetically? Because those of us who used to restock the good stuff can pretty much guess the general area the good stuff will still be, so that's more of an advantage, and still less fair. Just a thought.
This is fair and all but sadly luck is never pn my side, i never get anything half decent, atleast other people like it!<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Heh. If you want to make the Free Shop <i>cruel</i>, have all the boxes be transparent during the 5-minute wait so you can see all the cool rare stuff that you can't buy. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />
(I'm kidding!)
(I'm kidding!)
I really love it.
Thanks for taking care of us and listen to the users, and for all the great items.
hugs to everyone

What a Luminescent idea!!! Definitely puts the happy back into Happy Holiday spirit. No matter what you get, this is a FUN and FAIR approach! Just proves that The Subeta Team listens to their community and acts accordingly...good on ya guys! Joyeux Noel and best wishes to all!
At last! Finally the first totally fair giveaway in over five years on Subeta! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> Very nice suggestion and solution, Crashy. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> I haven't been on much, so I only got three boxes: a Dawn Mahar Tome, a Melody item Fraustus sweater, and the pretty ballerina fairy costume. So it is very random, and it does work, because I have a hand injury slowing me down, but I still got one really nice item out of three. With the items actually showing I would never have had a chance at an item like that. So thank you. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Thank you so much for the change. Although my connection doesn't seem to be quite fast enough to get something much of the time, I'm still able to get something nice sometimes and I think this is MUCh fairer. I very much appreciate you listening and attempting to make it fair for everyone. This is a nice compromise.

It's still hard to get things, but it's more fun now, and that's the point. Thanks for listening, Keith! And happy holidays everyone!
