Registration & Referral Changes!
We\'ve made some changes to the registration process to make it easier for new users to navigate. Part of that change is removing the avatar customization from the registration and putting it into the wardrobe itself. No more waiting for all of the hair options to load, or breaking the page when you switch between male and female too many times.
That means that when you first view the wardrobe (even as a current user!) you get to choose from one of the basic starter sets, including a few new(ish) sets.
We\'re also updating the referral bonuses. We\'ve removed the flat cash shop credit reward for referring new users, and instead you now get 10% of each cash shop credit purchase your referrals make. So if someone you\'ve referred purchases 5,000 cash shop credits, you\'ll get 500 credited to your account. You\'ll get this bonus every time your referrals make a CSC purchase!

Yass. My Katniss cosplay avatar is finally complete. Also, the sets were a good idea.
I'm going to miss the 500 csc for every referral, but I understand why it needed to go. Also, I love the new sets!
I've got the wizard one, but I cannot search for the other sets on shops or wardrobe, since they don't appear on the drop-down menu or on all clothing on Subeta. Is this normal?
SUCH A HARD CHOICE BUT I WENT WITH HUNGER GAMES OKAY.
BUT THAT SPARKLE SET IS AMAZING AND I'LL NEED TO GET IT. AHHH
capslock. I like the update.

I want all of the new sets and I still haven't picked one for that reason!
I'm very indecisive and I really hope these new sets end up in user shops eventually or in the clothing rack like the older sets.

YAAAAAY! 8D hnngh that sparklepire scarf... but the entire hunter set is a must have ;O;
Thank you for releasing these sets! :)

I got the cheer set. :) Couldn't resist the bright red. I still hope it will be possible to buy items from the other sets from user shops, though.
I feel like this will prevent users from creating false profiles and benefitting from free CSC. It will also improve the market a lot, I hope. It gives people more incentive to purchase CSC directly rather than with sp from another user. Also, I'm digging the new sets!
So many people complaining about losing their free CSC.... and here I am feeling like a /fool/ for buying all of CSC with RL$ and my sP. /sarcasm ....... But really, I've always considered CSC as a reward(luxury) for financially helping the site to stay up and running. I'd hate to think where this site would be if no one bought CSC.
"We need free CSC, no other way to get it" (paraphrasing a little)
Really? You can buy it from users with sP. I did it, once. Yes, it's difficult, but you can do it. Keith uploads videos to earn CSC, as minimal as it is, is a starting a point--that's what I do! You can get CSC from Wardrobe achievements (5k items gives you a Mysterious Costume Trunk, which gives you a 500 Credit Gift Card and I'm working on it). There are user-run contests that may also net you Credit Gift Cards.
Sure, the 500 for a referral was nice and while I did recently get some for that very reason, I'm not upset about it leaving even though I can't buy CSC directly. Get over it, there ARE other opportunities to get it. :|

Omfg what?! We need free CSC! Some of us wouldn't have any other way of getting it! God, this place really is turning into Gaia.
None of my friends would ever buy csc so i'm not enjoying that change too much, but i love the new sets :)

HA! Even in the preview of the new sets the layers aren't right! BRAVO SUBETA! A+! Start their exceptions off on the right foot.
Will the new sets be available to buy in the future? I wish I could get all of them :k wardrobe maniac
I'm going with the Sparklepire set, but I really hope that Hunters set gets released eventually, since I want that jacket and top.
Gah....these new sets are all so hard to choose from. Hope they're going to be RSing along with the older ones for those of us that just...need most of them. No hate for sparklepires, but I only like the jacket there myself. x'D
the sparklepire set has been taunting me every time I used arvee, so glad to finally have it ;u;
Maybe it's just me, but on the 'pick a set' page, the two new sets aren't layered properly.
Im sort of sad that you dont get csc when someone joins. Most of my friends online are younger and not in the usa. So they dont really buy credits on any site D: I guess I have no chance now.
well then Im glad that I just referred a friend and got my 500 instead of none at all. I know my friends, and they would never spend real money on a site. they don't even spend real money to play WoW or Hearthstone. To be honest, neither do I. I've only spent my real money on this site once because I thought it was good to support a site that I have been playing for several years, and it would be really sad to see Subeta get bought out and turn into something like neo.
Sorry Keith, horribly bad day - I wish I had taken the time to realize that we were actually getting a free outfit and a very nice one too! Of all the posts I've ever made I'm very sorry that this was the one to catch your eye. Got nothing but love and respect for you.

@SpiritedLass You get the items from the preselected outfit, and then the items just go into your wardrobe. Your outfit doesn't get overwritten or anything, those items are just in your wardrobe for use later :)
ugh i picked the wrong one XD i want the magic school set now lol when will they be recognised in the shop search?
Please change the wardrobe so that we don't have to choose from preselected outfits just to get into the wardrobe - just let us in to make our own choices. After waiting to be able to use it this is just so annoying - I don't like to complain but this just boggles my mind after being on this site 8 years plus.
Are you kidding me??? No more csc when referring people?? My gosh, now to get any we have to tell them to buy csc???!! Don't like this at all.

@Techno This is just a bonus :) We don't plan on this being anyones method of earning CSC, we just want to say thank you for bringing people to the site who are also helping keep the site alive. I don't want this bonus to be at the forefront of anyones mind when they're inviting friends to play Subeta, it's just a bonus (like the referral points).
The change in the referral system is a brilliant business move.
That said, although I've been actively advertising for Subeta until now, I personally won't be participating in the referral system beyond this point. I'm not comfortable with the idea of profiting off of other people's real-life money. Furthermore, if I needed 500 csc, I'd buy it myself with sP rather than rounding up a dozen people to refer in hopes that one of them will like the site enough to drop $40-$50 on it. Or 10 of them like it enough to buy a 1-month GA medal. Etc.
What a shame.
