Make sure to visit Melody at her cottage every day this month for a daily treat. While we’re all excited for what Melody will give each day, please use spoiler tags on the forums or this news post when commenting directly about an item the day it’s released! <3
If you visit the cottage and receive your gift all 31 days, you’ll receive the Melody Regular 2021 achievement (prize to be added later in the month). If you visit the first 25 days, you’ll receive the Lumineve Regular 2021 achievement.
We will be having a more in-depth news post about Luminaire later today. It will discuss everything from tree decorating to how to get those pesky little Snow Fairies.

Each day throughout the month, Melody will be giving out new treats. There are two achievements regarding Melody’s Cottage. If you visit every day through the 25th, you’ll receive an Essence of Melody, which is essential to making a nostalgic pet! If you make it every day of December, you’ll get the Melody Regular 2021 achievement. We haven’t added an item prize yet, but there will be one before the month finishes.
For those worried about old Melody items they still need, we will be re-releasing them sometime this holiday and not through the Free Shop. <3
How do you get ornaments? You can donate sP to Melody after visiting her cottage for the day and receive an Old Box of Ornaments. When you open the box, you’ll find a random selection of ornaments. If you are missing ornaments, please file a ticket.
Only want friends to leave your gifts under your tree or maybe no gifts at all? You can adjust your Luminaire gift settings here.
Just a reminder that trees "open" on December 25th! We will have a news post when you are able to receive your gifts. <3
Note: When the feature gets released, this section will be edited with the changes for quick reference for everyone!
You can release snow fairies from your inventory for the Free all the Fairies achievement. There is also an achievement, Fairy Collector for having one of each color snow fairy in your inventory.
Luminaire ends at 11:59 pm on December 31.
The Free Shop will not be happening during Luminaire.

Last night Subeta's servers had a severe outage, bringing the site down for about two hours. Keith brought back-up servers online, but several features are still being impacted. The reason for the outage is still under investigation and, while a fix is being worked on, there may still be disruptions to features such as wardrobe, access to forums, and autopricing.
Subeta was one of the earlier pet sites and continues to provide fun and content, integrating old features and adding new ones, but this means that problem-solving for its unusual server load and output can take time. We will be posting more information on #siteupdate as we get it, and those posts can be read through the Staff Forum Posts on the sidebar even if you're unable to log into the forums. The status page is also being updated!
This was not put in as a news post earlier because we wanted to have more information for y'all if at all possible, but we're open to feedback on whether that works. Please let us know what you'd prefer in the comments!

Autopricer has also been reset, so please give it another try if you already used it today. If you used the super autopricer and got errors today or within the last few days, please file a ticket for CSC reimbursement and include all dates you need handled.
Tree display may still be having issues, we are working on that still. We are also monitoring and investigating and will update as we get it, stay tuned for more news!

For those asking about Melody achievements, we will have more information this week. I don’t want to extend something by a day when it might need just another! Just know we will simply require less days for the achievement but still retire on the 25th and 31st, so instead of needing all 25 days you might only need 24 or 23. Again, we’ll have more information soon!

The sale will start early Sunday afternoon. You have until 8 AM on Sunday to get your CWs in the queue to guarantee they'll be reviewed in time for the sale!
Also! If you're into CWs and you're not a member already, be sure to join the Official CW Forum Group! I ping this group for things like schedule changes, event deadlines, brainstorming, and general announcements. It's a great way to keep up with all the current ongoings with CWs that aren't quite news post worthy!

:star: For the Lumineve Regular 2021 achievement, instead of needing to visit Melody the first 25 days of December you’ll only need to visit 23 days. This achievement will still retire first thing on December 26!
:star: For the Melody Regular 2021 achievement, instead of needing to visit Melody the entire month of December, you’ll only need to visit 29 days. This achievement will still retire at the start of January 1!

The Custom Wearable Sale is HERE!
If you are a CW releaser, you'll continue to receive a profit at the non-discounted price. Also -- the queue will be looked at tomorrow and Wednesday as well, so you have a little more time to get those last-second items in!
Note: There is going to be quite a bit of lag on Subeta with everyone looking through shops. Please be patient! Be sure not to hit your browser's back button or to double-click the purchase button if it seems like it's taking a while!

Mysterious Melody has been a Subeta tradition for years, and we're hoping to present it to you later this week. It is going to be the usual fun of being able to provide anonymous cheer, but we're also adding some new features including achievements. We've aimed them at a variety of styles, so there should be something for you whether you've saved up some big things to really make someone's day or if you chose lots of pieces for a carefully themed array of gifts.
We wanted to get this out earlier, but December's been a bit of a blustery month. The server outage from December 3rd is still an issue and, while we're working around it, the back-up configuration is less robust than we (and you) would like. Between that and other Lumi matters such as trees, testing for Mysterious Melody has taken longer than expected but we are looking forward to wrapping that up and putting it out this week. Thank you for your continued interest in Luminaire, and Subeta!

Over the next 24 hours or so, I will be restocking items randomly in the Token Shop. Don’t assume an item restocked earlier will appear in a later restock, I really am choosing at random. We are not adjusting the wait time between purchases, either, so you’ll have some hard decisions.

Our sincerest apologies for not posting about this in the original post or on the news. The time it was to end was mentioned on the forums, but we dropped the ball on posting it on the news! If you made a purchase in a CW shop between 8 PM Subeta time and 10 PM Subeta time, please submit a ticket to have the difference reimbursed to you! Any purchases made after 10 PM will not have the difference reimbursed to them.
The CW Pawn Shop will open tomorrow in the late morning/early afternoon tomorrow and will close at 11:59 PM Subeta time on Tuesday the 21st!
Thank you all, and we hope you enjoyed the sale!

We're excited for the surprises in store, but we won't blame anyone if you take a sneak peak at the item directory with spoilers turned on to see what the fairies have dragged in so far. :p

Remember you only need to visit Melody 29 days this year to get the Melody Regular 2021 achievement instead of all 31. It will still retire on January 1st!

As you ponder all the things you’ve learned over the year, trying to think of some clue that would tie everything together, a small black orb floats out from behind a tree.
Dark matter!
More orbs materialize, joining the first and bobbing lazily at you. You sprint back towards the Mage’s hut, hearing distant shouts from that direction. As the path clears and you leave the forest, you spot the reason for all the commotion. The all-too-familiar face of the dark goddess herself gazes back at you and smirks. Her eyes glow strangely, like so many others before her. She’s been possessed!

:star: The New Years Shop will have new items after the New Year starts according to Subeta (EST) time! The news post for these items might come a bit after midnight, but the tokens will start going out via quests right at midnight.
:star: Ready to throw Snowballs? The Snowtapult will be opening on January 4 and be open until Spring.
:star: Monthly Collections will be released on the 3rd day each month this year instead of the 1st. The Monthly Collection posts will also include information about what Cash Shop Challengers have returned (and will retire when the collections do)!
:star: Rosemary will return with Bird Watching on January 7 and will be around until Spring. There may just be a new feathery friend or two to collect. :eyes:
All of these things will have their own individual news posts, of course! Just wanted to keep y'all in the loop.
