Magic Box Closed
Ah, hello everyone. Greetings are as good a place to start as any, aren't they? But I'm far too busy to linger on them, so let's move right along.
A friend of mine--I'm sure you know him, he's that lad from the Magic Box, always has fairies fluttering about--has decided to up and move to the Vetan mountains. Something about being tired of the hustle and the bustle and wanting to own an adorable cabin. I zoned out after a while, truth be told. So he's gone now, meditating and feeding antlephore and probably searching for new fairies, and the Magic Box has closed its doors.
I was left to deal with all his old stock because I'm such a great friend with so much free time. I've got all the damn boxes sorted, and those of you in need of elixirs and potions can find them at my very own apothecary. The plushies have all been sent to Zuzu, whereas Tobias will handle all the magical toy-like things. Mauve took the clothes, because of course he did, while Rose took any accessories and if you're looking for the weapons, you'd best head over to the Weapons Warehouse.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to brewing my own potions.

This is sure going to make getting boosters from the mystery box when AA is the chosen shop a lot harder.
With all these shop closings, the vending machines feel pretty unbalanced. I don't mind this change but can we juggle around the vending machine shops they pull from a bit? Would like to have one with the stickers and stuff.
Maybe we'll see the retiree sharing some calming thoughts over at Oatmeal's field!
Nice to see the items stocked elsewhere. :)

Lol "because of course he did" and sad to see original shops closing, but curious to see if anything will pop up in their place :) Happy Retirement!
I don't want to sound like a broken record, or ungrateful, or whatever.
But don't you think it should be pretty important to fix the existing features on the site that are broken, and are constantly glitching?
Like the shoutbox and wardrobe, for example?
New features are awesome, and change is great. But I feel like existing features working is a whole lot better.

So how will this affect Burning Chance? Now it will only stock from the Apothecary. Is it going to get another shop added to its pool, or is just going to get scrapped completely?

It's closed, but you can still purchase from it apparently.
Elixirs still show up in the shop search as Magic Box and you can still purchase it through there... Hm

I've not seen a single potion since this change at Lukien's apothecary and I've checked constantly.
I'm so glad I happened to save all the shopkeeper artwork awhile back. I'd hate to lose the Defend and Conquer guy next.
I also like how Lukien broke down who got what. Especially Mauve.

Well looks a bit hard for me now find all items...
But what ever... other change...
GB & Good Luck :D

Lol, I read the title too fast and thought it was the mystery box!
OK, well I rarely ever visited the magic box anyway so it's fine by me, at least with the stuff being moved to the other shops

At first the news post worried me but I'm glad that everything is still stocking. c: I'm super happy about unretirements too.
Farewell dear Magic Box NPC. :c

I really like this change. It's odd seeing the items in different shops, but I'll get used to it.
I think the prices of some of the items should change, though, to reflect the shops that they're in now. Especially the clothes and accessories.
Also, where were the Telenine tails and fangs moved to?

So I'm a little sad. Magic Box was THE place I made sp when I first started here and I did that for quite a while. Then the shop was reformatted and it wasn't profitable anymore so I had to stop restocking at it. (Still haven't found a good replacement.) And now it's gone. Farewell.
For a minute there I thought it was the mystery box. Lol. I'm good with this change. If other shops were to close I hope you disburse the wares to other shops if you were to do this again. I didn't visit that shop too often.
Eeeeee my fave shop keeper gets more stock. Seriously, they've had the best design so I'm so glad Lukien got a name and more stock. Now you guys need to make more content for his shop! :D
LOL, freaked a bit when i read the headline till i read the whole thing im glad we can still get pet potions one way or another
Fair thee well, enjoy the Vetan mountains bring lots of clothing to keep warm, and start chopping wood for winter you'll need it

As always with changes, some parties need to calm down...really. It's not the end of the world, especially as seeing they put the stuff into other shops, changing a redundancy. I am MORE likely to RS elixirs, potions, and such now that I don't have to go to two different shops for my RS needs for that. As for them not telling us....uhm..it's their site, and they make changes as they see fit, and DO give a heads up on one's that they think are important enough to give a warning on or will actually affect certain values/item costs/CSC purchases etc. Also the same with changes that acceft HOW something is playe/used/etc.so...I have no issue with them just closing it. Thanks to the staff as always.
Sometimes, I don't really like changes like these but this is fully understandable.
Glad elixirs and potions are put into the Apothecary as it was always an empty yet interesting shop.

Why should they warn users that they are moving items to a different shop?
Changes like this should be given warning instead of just going outright and doing it

Saw the headline, thought, "What!?" Read the news, "Oh, I'm actually totally okay with this." The reasoning makes sense, we do still have a decent handful of other shops, and the items are still stocking. Woo!
