Costume Trunks are Back!
Have you ever wanted just one specific item from a Costume Trunk rather than the whole thing? Well now’s your chance! Like the Boutique sets are set up, you can now buy an entire costume trunk OR buy individual pieces from a trunk! When you purchase the entire set, you will be awarded the trunk, which you can open and choose between the female items or male.
We have a special running until March 20th at 11:59pm where if you have a gold account you get one trunk free! Any time from now until March 20th, if you have a gold account activated you will be able to redeem one free trunk. You can not, however, add it to the cart feature to claim this free trunk, you’ll have to grab it directly from the page!

I'm sorry if this question was already asked, but I got my trunk and actually wanted the male items instead of the female items. Am I able to open the trunk and choose which set I would like, or does it automatically give me the female items, since I am a female on here (and irl - but that's not relevant to the inquiry).

@Jasper I never pinged you haha. I just stated my opinion. No attack on you. And like I said I see EVERYTHING on Subeta as a luxury, so even though I will probably never be able to afford CW's (I don't even own a single one as-is) even though they're gorgeous and I would love to, I DON'T CARE. :D I'm happy that I can be a member of Subeta for $0, take part in all of the events and activities on the site, and the only real advantage people who can afford to pay CSC have is appearance. That is A-OK with me. I am happy to buy the more-affordable items that are still lovely as designed by the site staff~ And if anything I appreciate being challenged to find affordable combinations of wearables that look nice... It's like what I do when I shop the clearance/thrift rack IRL~ If I was going to try to fight poverty I'd focus my energy somewhere other than a virtual website that I see as a privilege and a blessing. You're entitled to your own opinion but I'm entitled to my own as well :)

@Jasper I think you mixed me up with someone else? I didn't say anything about grinding, etc. Believe me, I know what it's like to be unable to spend real cash on a website - I haven't spent a dime myself. I nearly lost my house a year ago, as well as many other things, before my life stabilized a bit. I usually don't have a GA. I used my loyalty totem a few days ago so I could finally autoprice and sell some things, do 50% more quests, and make some money.
My post was about how they do give even people like us opportunities to have GA perks via occasional free CSC, 1 week medals, and the loyalty totem, and each of these things is often available even if you can't spend all day on-site.

Argh, well as usual, the site loses it's collective mind because I didn't get on my knees and thank the gods for a feature I couldn't even benefit from until User not found: bathroy was generous enough to give me a 1 week GA. (Again, not the point of my criticisms but thank you all the same.)
People, when are you going to learn that criticism isn't harmful? I'm not ungrateful for voicing what should be a concern for the staff. Focusing on the elite/whales is profitable in the short term but if you want long term loyalty and a steady cash flow, then you need to be more open minded than that. It's just not good business sense to segregate your audience. If anything, the video game industry and the sorry state that it's in, should be proof of this.
Anyway, I'm going to reply to the individuals that bothered to ping me now. I'll put them under spoiler tags so you don't need to scroll through it all.

im super late to this party lol but this is awesome Im so glad the trunks are back. and Im so glad for the option buy
individual pieces.
But im also wondering like FLUX, will these items be removed from the gifts of fashion past? there is no need for them to be in there now
since you guys brought them back with the option to buy individually.

@Jasper To be fair, people with a GA either use their totem, spend real money, or spend a crap-ton of sP to get said GA. They usually work for it. A few extra quests, shortened timer on training and random, and an autopricer are pretty fair as a trade-off, but an extra incentive is nice now and again too.
Everyone in-game has a fair shot at those same incentives. Can't buy CSC with real money? Use sP. Don't have sP? Quest more vigilantly, play more games, and do more RSing. It's not like the Real World where finances are hard to come by. A WEEK of questing can net you at least a one week GA medal, so why is this an issue?
Stopping in a sec, but my last thought is, why is THIS more of a problem than rewards cards or Bonus Weekend rewards from using BrainTree and Stripe?

I'm even more happy about being able to buy individuals than I am about the free trunk. Which was great surprise to log into by itself. Finally I got all MCT items I still needed off my WL.
Also I realized there are edible MCT items?! I really hope for my savings that none is readable. xD

This is reminding me how some trunk items really need a revamp though.
But yeah, it's not impossible to save up for a GA without charging real money although it can be tedious. I did my quests every day for some periods, and I think I made 1bill in less than a year (granted, I also had a GA in the first place, so autopricing and stuff. But yeah).

@Monokuma, if you want both the female and the male sets, yes, you have to buy the same trunk twice.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. I've been WAITING to buy a Soda Jerk Shop Sign for a while! I saved 30 mil cause of this deal, hell yes. Dayum, I'm sO HYPED. Ahhhh seriously you made me so damn happy by offering one for FREE with a GA, hngh.
If you do all of your quests, you can net about 5 mil, not even counting shop profit or trades, so you can net yourself a 1 week in a few days and easily make the sP back. I totally agree with Digitalis's post of Sp saving tips!

It's more than possible to earn a GA, while being broke af IRL which I currently am.
I did all of Quentin's quests when the WSQ was announced, repriced my shop, and went to bed with something a little over 400k on hand and roughly 8mil in my vault. Woke up to a 2,8mil offer on a trade, plus quite a nice little profit in my shop which I left alone and did the rest of my quests which in total boosted me to roughly 2mil. Waited for the nightly site reset, repeated Quentin's quests/all the others while watching my shop profits add up to 1,24mil or something like that, strictly selling items I got as quest rewards. Lead to something over 19mil altogether, very close to 20mil that I spent on a 1 week GA for 14,9mil and still have a little over 4mil in my vault.
Wanna know how I avoid paying with real money?
- Save literally every sP. All of it. I am Smaug. Roar.
- Vend. VEND. VEND! I vend at Ocean Depths, wanna know why? It tends to kick out the latest commons when they're a hot commodity.
- Do every single quest. Every. Single. One. Unless an NPC asks for a crazy-priced item (like Drunk Carl asking for items that cost 1mil); if I lose like 60k sP, I just eat the loss and keep going.
- Sell everything that doesn't go to Wardrobe/get fragged.
- Hoard event items! They can turn into profit down the line too. So much stuff in my vault that's crazy old and either worth a lot or worth nothing; it's a gamble but saving it all can make that gamble worthwhile.
- Buy Token Shop items to sell; I MAINLY do this when there's a restock and nothing I want when I have a buttload of Wizard Tokens. I also like anonymously gifting TS items.
- Use the Shop Search from your wish list to see what the prices are on Cash Shop items, new and old, because it may be more attainable than a CSC card. I buy quite a bit of Delish from the user market given the opportunity.
- Take advantage of every opportunity Subeta gifts us with nice things (like the time they gave us free CSC. That was really nice c: ) and be hella grateful. I like to hoard my Loyalty GAs till I absolutely need them so I can make more profit, same with the 1 Week Medals.
It's not hard to do... Is it painfully slow, annoying and will it make you want to bang your head on something? Yes. Yes it is and yes it will. But it's doable, dammit. Take your free time to quest, do it when you can. Just consider that everyone HAS the opportunity to get a GA, whether you're broke af IRL or not.

So, when it says I have to choose between the male stuff and the female stuff, does that mean it's completely one side or the other? Or can I pick some from the female side and some from the male? Cause I want the Neverending Story trunk, but Falcor the luck dragon, even tho he really belongs on the male side, just has to be on the female side! And I'd rather dress up as Atreyu (the male stuff) than the Childlike Empress (the female stuff).

Thank you Subeta for your generousness. I really love the new option to buy pieces, this makes life so much more lovely for me as sometimes I only want a couple things. Next also, THANK YOU for a way to spend small amounts of uneven CSC, I never know how I get it, but it drives me nuts that its sits there and this is again another great option.
To the grumps, I dont think I need to repeat any of the statements people made. Its true you can survive on sP alone. In fact the only thing I spend real money on...is MY GOLD ACCOUNT. Which I buy in 2 month splurts. All my cws, cash shop items, etc. is done through sP. You can earn at least 5 mil a day doing quests. Through that in your shop...make at least 1.5 mil a day. This is doeable.
I like Subeta in fact because IT OFFERS you a game point to real money option! A lot of sites dont do that. So...Its a good thing :) and if your still mad...well....go get some chocolate. :)

With the combination of doing all of your daily quests and selling the items you get, anyone could easily get a 1 week gold account in about 3 days. That's... not that bad. At all. Why are people even compplaining? it isn't "elitism." The site needs money to stay up. Where do you think the money comes from?

Quote by @Jasper:
Gaia is like one year older than Subeta, and there were complaints about Gaia's economy within a couple of years. I joined Subeta in 2005 and its had a GA option since before then. I can understand some of the complaints about the sp/csc conversion rate in the last couple of years (even if I don't totally agree with them), but I wouldn't say Gaia's and Subeta's business models are a good comparison regardless. Like, I know capitalism is the mainstay of this website but could we start moving away from this business model and make things more fair to those who can't/don't want to spend real cash on virtual items, please? If anything, Gaia should be proof of how quickly such an economy can backfire onto itself and surely stuff like this isn't helping.
If you want to talk about hypocrisy, how about we talk about how you're complaining about your budget in the same breath that you're asking Subeta's staff to forfeit income to the site that pays their bills? This site isn't cheap to run. Despite it being a popular topic to complain about, GAs along with other CSC purchases pay for a LOT more than vacations.

Historiography
I recently sold a one week gold account medal for sp and people do sell the regular monthly gold account medals for sp. I netted a nice 11 million in my shop till for it actually.
The fact is, most items on site and in general can be gained just as well with sp; it's just a matter of saving up the sp necessary to get it. If this were anything like gaia, the vast amount of profit could ONLY be gained via cash and not sp. It's still perfectly possible to make a nice tidy profit via quests, battling, vending and other means without ever having paid real money for it on site.
Heck, even csc can be bought via gift cards and bought from user shops with sp. Yeah, it's not cheap, but it can be done though.

Poverty is a serious problem, and sure, buying a virtual item is a luxury, but to compare the luxury purchase of a virtual item on a pet site to the poverty issue is a little insensitive to people living in poverty. All of that said, a gold account can easily be obtained for free through making sP through questing. It takes time, but that's the nature of it. It would be cool for everyone to have gold account benefits, but that's not how it works unfortunately! This is an incentive to keep the site going. It's not intended to be elitist, it's intended to help bring money in for the site so that it can stay free for those users who cannot afford to put money into it by utilizing users who can afford to put money into it.

Internet is a luxury that costs more than 5$ a month (unless you steal uncle Larry's internet).Despite your complete disregard for what is a legit problem for many, many people, I hope to the Gods you're never in the position where five dollars spent on a coffee, meal or virtual item is considered a luxury because believe me, it. is. hell.
I qualify to be a poor college student. However, you have a choice to buy CSC with money or sP. I can't go to an hospital and say "Here, would you take my 500m to pay for this please?"
Everything is a choice in life. The world is capitalism and I can't see why Subeta wouldn't do like everyone else. I get your point, but I also get theirs.

I just want to say, I am completely broke rn, about $20 in my bank account and a $209 car payment coming up that I can't afford, but I have a GA because I'm using the FREE 3-month medal from being a loyal user. I have NEVER seen Subeta as money-hungry or unfair just because they rely on GA subscriptions and CSC sales to stay afloat. Also, if you are dedicated enough you'll do your quests and get your daily sP and buy a 1-week GA from the shops. Subeta is kind enough to allow resale of CSC items and GA medals unlike other websites. If I didn't have a GA right now I would be sad, yes, but I wouldn't be complaining about it because to me, Subeta and everything on it is a LUXURY that I am thankful to have been a part of for 10+ years, even though I have spent very little actual money on it (and I would gladly spend much more to support you guys if I had the cash). Juuuuuust sayin'.

@Bathory Thank you so much for your generosity. It really wasn't necessary but thank you. I hope no one thinks I complain just to get free things, though. Regardless of whether I have a medal or not, I still don't like how much the site sells power and gives advantages to GA's and I think it's a problem that needs to be considered when planning future events.

never knew these were on the site, and super pleased to see everything in the magically sealed door trunk :))) seems like those are the most expensive individual items as well.

I work really hard (for $ for csc and onsite for sp) to be able to afford a GA :D it's so incredibly nice to come online and see this little surprise! I <3 you guys!

@Jasper There are other ways to get a GA besides cash, or even CSC. Saving the occasional free medal for a special occasion, using the free CSC they've given us a couple times, or the yearly loyalty totem. The staff here are very generous and give us plenty of opportunities to get things like that for free.

@Lantern Not going to poke too much of the hypocrisy that is the elite telling the non-elite that this is fair and an okay incentive when they're, currently, one of the ones benefiting from the current offer. It's like the 1% lecturing the poor but, as I said, I'm not going to poke too much at that. What I am going to suggest is that everyone gets one free item from whatever trunk they wish while GA's get the option of a whole trunk. That's fairer and less elitist than the current model. Like, I know capitalism is the mainstay of this website but could we start moving away from this business model and make things more fair to those who can't/don't want to spend real cash on virtual items, please? If anything, Gaia should be proof of how quickly such an economy can backfire onto itself and surely stuff like this isn't helping.

it probably matched the first user alphanumerically of that length of UN, I think underscores count as wildcards. that's pretty interesting though!
don't worry though, "Last Seen: 2 years, 1 month, 2 weeks, 6 days, 20 hours, 59 minutes ago"

I'm guessing user shop prices will be all over the place for a little while, but hopefully things settle out a bit if these are going to be sticking around.
I don't want to panic and buy something impulsively. :P

curious, how did you manage to ping them? random assortment of letters and just lucked out or a bunch of underscores or something?

It'd be elitism if people with GAs acted like they were better than non-GA users, but I don't really ever see that.
No one would get a GA if they had no advantages over non-GAs...

It's not elitism, it's called incentive. Incentive to buy a GA so they get money ;) It's the same way with say, airlines. Some airlines offer luxuries to people that pay extra to be a premium customer. You get to sit in their fancy airport club bars, board the plane early, etc etc.

This is the best thing ever. I mean sure I spent a ton on single items from time to time, but now to get the last few I need that arent even for sale is like fjdjknkfso
But darn I am so all over the free trunk bit, I had a ga saved. Now is the time to use it 8D

Is it safe to click any trunk to check what it has or will it automatically pick the first one i click? D:

I kinda wish we could pick our own items from different trunks (just as long as it keeps the 500 csc price)

Not really happy about the GA's getting yet another advantage over free users. :/ Elitism is a huge issue on this site and stuff like this, doesn't help.

...Would I get one if I activated a GA right now, or is it just if you already have a GA?
Still, being able to get individual pieces I need is pretty neat. Now I have an extra broken chessboard~

It's really nice that we have the option to buy specific pieces. ^__^
And of course gold accounts get something for free when my gold account ran out. Just my luck. :P
(Check out my shop/advertising board because I'm seriously broke. <3)

Very nice! :) Although, for the preview of the trunks... Maybe a preview of both genders of the trunk should automatically be on the top of the respective trunks page? Like what we see when a new trunk comes out?

LOL I can't get a GA as it is rn omg that is an awesome incentive though for those that can :) The trunks are pretty cool! Is this a hint at Masquerade soon?!
