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!

This is like the best idea ever <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
Now no one can sit their and whine when they can't get something, because all there is to getting something is luck <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" />

i htink that it's fair so anyone can have a chance to get something so the really rich people don't only get the rare or special stuff<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
I totally love this! This is best thing to do to keep everyone happy. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Lol

This is ridiculous. We have to wait 5 minutes after trying to buy an item we can't even see?
User not found:
Ohman. SWEET. 8D Thanks for listening!

MELODY! You're a darling. <3
I think its a good way to solve the problems about some people getting all the good stuff and some getting none at all. Its way more fair now - and its fun <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
I LOVE the changes! It's SO much easier for me to grab something now, and I've gotten better items too! Thank you for this!!

I don't like it. Those with a slow connection will still have trouble getting something, even with more items stocking. And now the odds are that people won't get an item that they want. When people could see what the items were, we could try for an item that we wanted, even if it wasn't worth much. It's nothing but pot luck now <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
Hours of ... 1. wait 2. click on box 3. click purchase 4. too late! 5. Repeat ... has dampened my holiday spirit.

Hmm... I guess I missed it. Hasn't seen anything restock Darn.
Thank you so much for making this fun for me again. I love the not knowing...makes it much more exciting.. the anticipation of knowing what's inside, like a gift should be. the staff rocks

I love this. Now slow people like me have a better chance. xD
Very nice solution <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
slightly better, but still not as good as the donation center. Everythings always sold out in the first five seconds.

Thank you Keith and the Subeta staff. This has greatly improved the fairness of the Free Shop. I appreciate that you listened to the complaints and made changes. Just what has always been awesome about Subeta. Please continue to keep it up. And Happy Luminaire!
I accept 0 - Vampire Slayer Plushie has been put in your items <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
I FINALLY got one NICE thing from the FS, a Daisy Summerdress and the boxes so apropos for Christmas Day!! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
i got my first thing from the freeshop <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> yey, thanks keith for listening =D merry christmas everyone
I love the boxes!!! It makes it easier to just grab something instead of trying to figure out what to go for!
I wish the site wasn't lagging so much though <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
and I have a fast connection
I hope it is something that can be improved <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Thanks for all the hard work!!!!!!

I think the delay in between being able to select an item should be increased so it doesn't coincide with when new items are being added, because at the moment the delay is only long enough to prevent people getting two items per restock, which is virtually impossible anyway as it's hard enough getting one.
additionally it seems people closest to the server (and being able to refresh the fastest) are getting the items way faster than everyone else.
A longer delay of, say, 15 minutes with the restock staying at 5 minutes would tripple the ammount of people who will successfully get an item, rather than the people who have the lowest ammount of lag getting three items every 15 minutes.

While I do think the Mysterious Boxes are a huge improvement, I still thought the Donation Center worked a lot beter. Masking items hasn't really made it easier for people with lag. :'C
I love the boxes. At least this way I don't have to see all the fantastic stuff I've missing out on. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" /> Plus I might actually get something really nice before the end. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
i think the best part is not having to endure the pain of missing out on some super expensive item cuz there was a lag or like your 5 minutes wasn't up yet or something
Merry Xmas everyone! XD
Merry Xmas everyone! XD
I'm actually able to get an item! Thanks <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
I'm actually able to get stuff now, alright! And it's nice stuff. ^^ Not superamazingexpensiveomg but you know what? It doesn't have to be. I've gotten advent presents from this year and I love having extras for my frosty gallery. And I think some of us who are not so good at restocking will have a shot to get something truly nice now. And wouldn't that be wonderful? Good luck all you restocking underdogs! You can do it! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I like this much better. It definitely gives everyone a chance to get -something- now. Even if you don't know what it is until you buy it.

thanks Melody! oh and also the Subeta team! xD but how long will this last?
HOLY HEATHUS you guys are fast! It just restocked and BOOM everything was gone! XD Now THAT is some impressive clicking speed. Are all of you hopped up on candy canes already?
This is a really wonderful idea. It was nice to be able to snag some things I really wanted while it lasted, but this is much fairer, and a lot more fun. Now we get the added bonus of seeing what's in our boxes! Thanks, Melody/Subeta Team, you guys are wonderful.
(Also, to the Jaxon/Melody commenter, I am right there with you.)

Yay, this is much better! It's a lot easier to grab stuff than the way it was before when all the elite RSers were jockeying for the best items and leaving nothing for slower clickers, and I'm really enjoying the surprise factor.
Thanks subeta team! You guys always find the best solution <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Hmm.. even with the boxes, many times I am unable to grab anything at all. Subeta is lagging too much for me; the moment I click back after getting a box that sold out, the whole shop is empty.
