Masquerade and Vesnali!
We’re extending the Masquerade Ball until 11:59pm on April 9th! That means the Masquerade forums will be open until 11:59pm on April 10th.
To give you enough time to recover from your dancing, and pace our events a little better - this year Vesnali will begin in early to mid May.

"Oh No! Preparing for the second wave of items! The shop will be back open soon."
I don't see why turning in tokens should be effected by this.

So that means that Masquerade will last until Palm Sunday and this year's Vesnali will coincide with April's Fair, aren't they?

Vesna = spring in russian. Written весна with kyrillic alphabet. I have always thought that Vesnali is just twisted form of russian word for spring that someone came up when they couldn't think of better name for Subetan spring holiday. I have always loved that name anyway. I just thought you might be interested in knowing where the name very likely came from.

This makes way more sense to me, and I wish it was a permanent change. It was always kind of weird celebrating Vesnali with a foot of snow outside! Now I'll be able to celebrate a Spring holiday when it's actually Spring! (well, if I have time between all the planting)

As long as this does not effect the sacred ELWOOD DAY then all is well.

@Amber I've been experiencing it for a few days, it's slowly getting better but still very annoying because things are loading agonizingly slowly when I try to do quests. My computer doesn't tend to load things that slow, and it only happens when I do quests. It takes 10-15 seconds to load the shop search tabs when it used to take five. I hope this is enough information! I'm not trying to whine, I'm just trying to figure this out.
Then again, I've been having a lot of issues lately with other things, I'm wondering if it might be related to the fact that I have windows eight, which is by far the worst thing ever created. (aside from 10, of course). Even so, the only things to load slowly are on subeta. So it's hard to say.

@Foxe I need more information! Like have you been experience lag all day, just hte past hour, etc. I've been on pretty much all day (minus the past hour when I was making dinner) and haven't experience lag. If you experienced it recently, it might because the servers scale down when less users are online.

Also, thank you so much! I know I already said it but this is wonderful! I'm also super pumped for Vesnali because I went through and added everything I liked to my wishlist and now it's packed with things :)

Even though the first crocus is attempting to push through the mud at the edge of a snowbank in my driveway. It honestly won't feel like Spring until June here. So this is great in my opinion.

@Aludra I always thought this was how it should be, too. Have Vesnali before Masquerade, because May is mostly associated with Summer because its a lot warmer and vacations start for a lot of people. It's weird to me that Vesnali will be in May this year, but I get why. Just weird. I think Masquerade would have been a better fit for May because dancing=celebration and it could've been a nice way to celebrate the start of Summer, end of Spring. As Vesnali is perfectly for the start of Spring. But I think Masquerade is the favored Holiday (though I personally love Vesnali more!), so its not too surprising that this works more for people XD

I am very happy for this. I usually slack off on Vesnali because I'm tuckered out from Masq.

Awweee. Vesnali is my favourite event. I was anxious for it. As long as it happens I guess. Wish it lasted longer!

Aludra
I always thought that the Zombie event, Masquerade event, and Vesnali event were all too close together, however I love them all. I assume it's a huge strain on artists though to do so many new items for the site, and for the site itself to take so much strain. What I'd honestly suggest, is switching the Masquerade with Vesnali, and letting the Masquerade be a little later in the year? That way, Vesnali still happens around spring/easter, and each event has more room to breathe.

This is great! I generally Think subetas holidays are very heavily gathered at either mid spring or late fall/winter, with a lot of nothing in between. So instead of creating new holidays I would also be in favor of spreading them a little more out like this. Even though this probably is a one time occurence!

Even better idea: let's push back Vesnali to mid-to-late May. Birthday present to me, yes/yes? xD
All joking aside, thank you!

THIS IS DOING ME A CONFLICT.
Vesnali is my favorite holiday, so I've been super excited that it was nearing. But at the same time... More dancing. I'm torn. At the same time, my birthdays at the end of April, so I kind of feel like having Vesnali shortly there after is like a belated birthday gift, which is kind of awesome. Guh.

thank you for spacing these events and giving me extra dancing time. Been juggling real life and also that Pookemon Go water fest - so I could use a few days to catch up!

Yeah, can this actually be a permanent change, please.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Vesnali was ALWAYS mid (or even late) May. The back-to-back winter thru spring events can be exhausting, and then the long gap after is kind of awkward because you had so much to do, then hardly a thing until Keelhauliday many months later. I'm all in favor of a bit more empty space in the schedule between events, no more holiday whiplash, and a less long quiet break after vesnali this year sounds nice to me. Ooh, and also, a big thanks for extended Masq :)

WOOT!! That's really nice, especially since you guys have been starting it off a week or two AFTER Masquerade... Easter, yes, but life disagrees with me this year; it is now pleased that you have moved the date;)

Oh good, thanks! I was hoping this might happen with the rocky start we had. And I still need a lot of tokens for all the goodies I want.

May also makes more sense for a spring celebration (or it does to me).

THANK YOU SUBETA! You guys are awesome! And since May is usually kind of a slow month in the site, Vesnali this year will spice it up!

Don't fully get people complaining about Vesnali- I mean, it's not like it was shortened! Just pushed back one or two weeks. So more time for the artists to work and get a better holiday. Plus they're telling us so early that the majority of players weren't even thinking about it (rather than springing it on us at the beginning of May when people are waiting.)
Thanks for extending masquerade sure to the site glitchiness, and thanks for letting us know early.

oh thank you! I've been working 7 days a week lately and was afraid I wasn't going to have the time to get all the trinkets I need to buy all the things I want from the shops. So thank you so much for extending the ball! Yay!

Glad to have the longer break between events and I think May is the perfect time for Vesnali.

Wow! This totally helps me a LOT! I might miss a bit of Vesnali because of real life deadlines but hopefully not too much of it!
Thank you! ^^

At least Vesnali wasn't pushed back to late May! If it was, I'd miss it for sure. I'd be sooo upset to miss it, too as it's my fav holiday. :) But thanks for extending Masq, staff!

Don't really like this, but whatever *shrugs* guess that means I can celebrate Vesnali when school is over...

Thanks for pushing Vesnali back a bit! Honestly having four holidays back to nearly back-to-back (luminaire, survival, masquerade, and vesnali) was a bit overwhelming, so I appreciate the quick break.

@Amber BLAME KAT (idk im just naming anyone) because I swear ive always been told that Vesnali is an easter event hahah ;____;
For reals, now that I've checked the items again, I can see that most of them are a crossover between easter and spring. Aside from the obvious egg-items, a lot of them could pass off as spring. MAYBE @CZAR MADE ME BELIEVE IT WAS EASTER ALL THOSE YEARS (jk ilu kat)

@Cathii I mean … it’s very spring related? IT’S LITERALLY A HOLIDAY ABOUT FLOWERS AND BABY ANIMALS. AND ESTHER BEING SUPER CUTE.
(also how is the name easter related i legit don’t know because again I don’t celebrate it so i’m like ??? my spring holiday is passover and there are no flowers involved tho there is an egg)

This is really awesome, thank you staff!!! Masq is so far my favourite holiday, and I'm a huge steampunk fan so thank you!!!

@Amber you know, I think it's just because I associate vesnali with easter haha
I feel like if it were named and themed like a spring event rather than a specific real holiday one I'd see it better!
(Kind of how I associate survival with valentines, all the Louis l'Amour items look vday related to me except it starts after the actual holiday!)

I was really looking forward to Vesnali, but I can totally understand why it was delayed. And we still have the second wave of the menagerie to look forward to! :D

B-but but but... but... it's easter-related stuff ;;
Im kind of hoping the items are not too easter-related then, and rather more spring-related since may is basically running towards summer!
