The Blee is really cute, but I have to agree that the re-release of the two older advent items is silly at best. I see Free gifts and Advent items(as well as Pumpkin Patch and other seasonal event items) as like a bonus to players who are loyal and take the time to show up during said events. Sure, it sucks for the newer players that they missed out on last years Advent items, but none of them were exceptionally expensive and again, IMO, were given out as a "thank you" to the players that were around last year. Let's hope this trend doesn't continue.

The blush was at 1.6 M early this month. For a free item, Keith found it way too high. Free items given to anyone, without any luck or skill, shouldn't be 1.6M. Especially when it was released 1 year ago.

Plus, I don't know weather I should buy a few extra Blee - do I take the risk that some of them are duplicates?
We (As Keith and our UA department) decided against the deleting of Blees. Most people only had 2 or 3, which we allowed them to keep. If there is a shop with like, 50, it might be either a glitch abuser, or a reseller. We'll take a look at these ones.

Damn, I still have some in my vault from the giveaway last year. Prices fluctuate, regardless, and they have remained around 600k throughout the year. I'm sure the inflation was just temporary and they would have simply deflated given time. Eh. I like getting new items.

Tom's got a point; lots of items drop and raise in price. Truthfully, I'm happy to get them, even though they were items that I weren't trying to buy specifically, but I admitt that something new would be nice too.

At least the Blee is new. I find it cute ^^ And it's nice that people who have duplicates got to keep them I suppose.

I would have rather liked to have kept my duplicates, because it was really cute. Damn.

I bought an aurora not more than a month ago for 500k. Which, arguably, isn't that expensive, but I'm annoyed that I am getting a free one now.

I would have liked to get more than one new item, that would lessen the sting receiving two items I already have. That will now be super cheap, because it was given out last year and this year, so I can't even make much of a profit.

Oh well. For the greater Subetan good, I suppose.

Meh. Yesterday we get two old gifts and today is just coal. Granted its a very pretty pile of coal, but why only one item? Rather lackluster two day we've had. Maybe tomorrow will be better?
Did Subeta run out of AC items or something this year?

Is the coal not a wearable? The word 'mist' is making me think it is, but I refuse to get the item until the morning and not at midnight.

Maybe they'll add something when the site comes back up. But in spite of sounding greedy and all, I kind of hope we're getting something more than just coal. I just kind of expect it when it's a site that spits out 2-3 items per day for advent.

....But I agree; it is a pretty pile of coal XD

Maybe it will just be coal, especially from all the complaining yesterday. :/

Well, I think the point is that the darkheart guy only gives out coal, because he's the bad one. I'm kind of annoyed at getting him twice/getting my HA coalified twice this year though.

I actually quiet like the coal myself. It makes a nifty looking wearable. I might use that quiet a bit. If I remember right, last year didn't we just get a pile of dusty coal from the darkheart guy? So I don't think this is because of complaining. Just that they are makeing this into a yearly thing.
I must ditto covet though. I'm not liking getting coaled twice this year. Albeit the last time was a bit of a glitch but I still don't like it.

I don't think I'd care as much about just getting coal (I think I want to hoard them now, so very pretty) if we hadn't gotten (in my opinion) crappy items yesterday too. Two pretty lackluster days in a row isn't really all that thrilling.
At least we got an achievement.

I wasn't aware it was the Darkheart guy. That makes sense. I wasn't able to get on before the site went down.

If they ARE doing it to punish players... really, how petty. People are going to complain. Punishing them isn't going to do anything but make them complain more.

If they're NOT doing to punish users... then how lame. I hope tomorrow brings better items, heh.
