Whoops!
Hey Guys! I know that we've all been having fun grabbing things out of the Free Shop today, but there was a problem with the script that puts codes in the shop.
To keep things simple, it called a function called randomItem() which to the programmers looked fine when we run the script. It looks for a random item, and we thought it used the parameters (which for this free shop giveaway were rarity 50-99) to put the items in the shop.
The problem was, some number of years ago someone rewrote the randomItem() function to not take those parameters into account, and it wasn't noted. So, we've been calling the function and thinking it was working fine.
The point is, that a lot of r100+ items were put into the free shop. These include NPC items, staff-only items, super retired old items, and things like god weapons. If you got anything like that (or anything r100+ that isn't a wizard token) from the Free Shop, please delete it now.
We will be manually removing them as we look through our logs and try to figure out what went out, but it makes our lives so much easier if you cooperate and just remove them. Due to these issues, I'm going to continue the Free Shop giveaway through the night, and throw in tons more wizard tokens!
Thanks for helping us deal with the problems, I know you will all be super honest and run to delete those items right away :heart:!
Note: If you sold an item, or traded it, please make a ticket.

So is this recent? Or has it been happening for a longer period of time?
I've never got much of anything impressive lately, but I think I'll still check the rarities of my items anyways.
Oh my, and I just got online. Thanks for being cool, Subeta. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
not going to remember everything I've gotten but did send in a ticket about the crystal I got.
lol. I had an item that I didn't recognize. Apparently it was a restock war item. It was only a toy so it didn't break my heart to delete it
Only thing outside those arameters I got was two Humming Power Crystals that I banked at once; I made two more from free shop items and deleted those though, so I guess we're square.
Thank you XD
Thank you XD
I had one I was sure of was over r99 (old subeta item) in my vault bit it was gone so I guess you took it. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
I found one more in my shop, a costume trunk item, and its deleted now. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I will take a look on the items I got. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
If there is any of them, do you get some other random item instead when you delete them?

However, just now I got a red hunters hat. Yeehaw! lol

Is it safe now to get the free shop items??
I just woke up and missed the whole "problem time", but is it ok to get items now, or not?

Wow, I know ONE petsite where this would be a huge problem and all the users who got an item would be frozen immediately...
I didn't get any of those high-rarity items, but I LOVE you for the calm reaction on this <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
hugs and cookies

Glad for once I was sleeping at the time ^^ The only Humming Power Crystal I had is gone now so I guess everything is fine now.

Oh goodness, I'm glad I didn't get anything like that! It's a good thing you guys caught that function error.
I hope nothing else goes wrong in this wonderful giveaway! It was an awfully nice thing for y'all to do! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
(Hooray, and now that I know more about PHP I actually <i>understand</i> these updates about site coding and glitches and whatnot~)

This is really simple, guys.
If it's over r99 and it's not a Wizard Token, it needs deleted.
If you traded, sold, gifted, or donated any items over r99 not a Wizard Token, file a ticket.
If you banked your HPCs, file a ticket.

If I were in question about any item's rarity check at subetahq.com. DO NOT go by how cheap they are. The crystals are 150 rarity. I just found out after its too late.
I think it's odd that I got 3 items that are listed as "super rare" and R95 but yet they're only worth 2-5K. Confusing. Shouldn't "super rare" items before worth more than that.
I will check into my items!!!!
thank you guys for continuing the giveaway through the night, the site was down when I tried to log on this afternoon and I thought I missed my chance for good

I'm still a bit confused, lol. Don't think I got anything particularly rare, but I did pick up a humming power crystal from the Donation Corner. I guess I'd better delete that, just in case.
It isn't over, the shop is still restocking. They did say it would go through the night, though how far through is anyone's guess. xD
You don't need to go to any other site to check the rarity. Just click on the item itself, and it'll tell you.
I think it's funny people thought they could keep those items. You guys /always/ mess something up with the giveaway. It's like... part of the giveaway <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
My Calvin blackmoon plushie is r99, so that's cool.
...humming power crystals are barely worth 5k :-/ but they're r150. I don't get it, but I'll delete it anyway.

kind of glad i missed the giveaway, so i didn't have to worry. sorry all this mess happened guys. gl!
I didn't even know the giveaway was going on all day XD
Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you guys get everything straightened out.

I actually paid no attention to the rarity of the items i got hahaha. i guess it's fine since you're going through and deleting stuff anyway! plus, i pretty much got a bunch of cheap stuff anyway........................
The prod is I can't remember all I gotten from the free shop, but i'll go threw my shop and try to remember
Check the rarity by visiting Subetahq.com or searching for the items via subeta's trading center! <3
Ehh, well. I got an Elegant Gothic Box, opened it, and sold most of the items (which was about 3 or 4 hours ago)...what do I do now :/ ?
I just went through my Vault a few minutes ago and deleted all the items I got from the Free Shop that were over r99.(But not the Wizard Token as those are ok to have) I just hope I didn't miss anything -has gone through vault three times-, I don't want to get a warning or break any of the rules :C
Awn. I have to delete everything I liked <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />
So I should delete the Minicore I got because it's rarity 150? Aww, that makes me sad... I wanted to keep it <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />
Wow, apparently I missed all the craziness...glad to see it's being sorted. And much love to you, Keith, and all the staffers, for not only sorting it, but letting the giveaway go a bit longer to 'make up' for it. LOVE YA!!!!
@TheMadPumpkin
No its only for items 100+ Dragon Breath is rarity 66.Check the rarity of your items to make sure they are under 100.

I deleted something from last year giveaways that I am pretty sure I should, but the problem is.. I can't remember anything else? I'm not sure if this is a problem worries Hopefully you guys can delete any others, since I haven't exactly kept track of all my items from the last free shop giveaway xD
However, if I get anything this time, I will delete ^-^ (My memory isn't thaaat bad, haha)

Thanks soooo much for the extension! As to the uber rare items, oh well...easy come, easy go! Still fun in spite of the glitch!!! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I got a magical bear plushie. Not sure if that counts or not, but either way it's in my plushie collection right now... =/
it shouldnt be our faults u messed up, u shoulda let us keep the items we got from the shop but owell no use whining about it.
hey people, before you delete something, if you are not sure, search user shops for it. If there are there, probably it's not a problem. If there are none of them, you may have one of those super rare items. That Yellow glass and Lilac Pherret Elixir are fine.
Do I have to delete the r101+ stuff that I got from last year's giveaway too?
Anyways, deleting Voldo. It was so cute though. ;~;

ok sorry to be a pain but donation centre has items and i just got Yellow 2010 Fancy Glass so do i delete it as they may have got it from the shop.
Well, I'll try to frag until I get three crystals, then delete those. (The three I got from the shop are already in my crystal bank.)
I didn't get much, but I can't rememebr everything I got. I am freaking out trying to remember everything. If I forget something you guys will delete it eventually right?
Im assuming you will be removing the plushies that were added to our collections from this then, since we cant?
Hopefully this means I might find a token now<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I deleted the green scene hair and the 2 power crystals. Unfortunately I can't specifically remember anything else I got through the free shop, and I put it all in my shop which has almost 4,000 items. I'm sorry, I hope you can find them! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />
I didn't get anything like that, so I guess I'm in the clear. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" /> Thanks for making a formal news post about this though.
I was so worried I would have to delete the RoQ Candy Turvey Tattoo I got but it seems Im in the clear. =)
Has Keith been giving the president political advice?
Make imaginary things and give them away for free. The masses will overlook the errors.

Dang it. Two of my items are r150 and one r101 so I will delete. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
But thanks for letting us know. And thanks for the other goodies I did get.
Hope I can get some tokens before bed. I figure this will be over by the time I get up in the morning.

Um, are humming power crystals ok? I've already turned mine into the crystal bank so I can't exactly delete it, but it's not worth much anyways....
Let me clarify. When I said I shoved anything else I got in my shop, I meant my gallery. I'm not selling anything at all right now (working on hoarder achievements).
Still, I'm fairly sure everything else I got was tokens, because I remember my first non-token item really confused me. XD

I got humming power crystal. It's been promptly deleted.
Thank you for continuing the giveaway longer for this mishap!

I got a wig.. white smoked soon hair.. but I put it in my wardrobe and I don't know how to remove things from my wardrobe. I'll keep trying to figure it out...
LOL - I would prolly faint if I had grabbed one of those. Nothing spectacular for me just yet.
I got Yellow Frilly Bloomers, but I've deleted them. I -think- that's it for me c: Thanks for the info, and the extension.
i dont think i got items over 100 rarity but is there a list to go true ??
for me the visual thing is easier - so i would notice it immediatly
but beside 3 crystals - 4 tokens and an etalochoc i didnt got expensive stuff, before site went down
so i think i dont have to worry about <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
anyway have to sleep now hope i will be able to catch some more tomorrow morning
good night all

Hm, had a 150r Black Tulip and duly deleted it. My heart, she is breaking. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" /> I was wondering why that, of all things, landed in the free shop. XD
I don't think I got anything else over R99 that wasn't a token, but if I did, it got shoved in my shop, I hope that won't be a problem for you guys to delete.

Thanks for the announcement. I was getting super jealous of those getting god weapons and the such. It's a shame that now the staff have to check every item that went out, since we all know some people won't delete them on there own.
Cool, I didn't get any above that number in rarity but I went to check anyway. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Yay thanks Keith! I'm wanting more wiz tokens cuz I don't wanna do the quests right off hand for them right now <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Deleted the offending item! Thank you so much for the giveaway, it's been a blast. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I'm fairly sure that the two plushies I got are normal items, but I really don't remember what they are and I've already put them in my collection. smiles I really won't miss them if they disappear.
oops i sent my crystals to a friend, I hope she deletes them <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
Ah more stalking, i suppose.

Deleting the token shop rarity 150 item given in error was painless considering all the other loot gotten today. Thank you for the fun giveaway, Subeta Team!
