yes, but it's specifically a beta item and i wasn't around during the beta...

neat. i'll give that a quick look.

I wasn't around either xD

okay, yeah, i've definitely got all the crane game items.

Enough to wear in all of their poses???

pffft, i wasn't around last year but i still have monthlies from last year in my invo right now XD

probably not enough to wear in all the poses, but enough anyways.

Not sure what the deal with beta items are. But if someone gives you an item that was only available during beta, that's fine. What's not fine is if the beta item was a special item for that time only, and the staff re-release them in common shops for cheap. Kind of takes away the exclusiveness then.

I feel like I'm in the minority where exclusiveness doesn't make things feel any more special.

Lol I joined way too late to have beta items ;w;

Bio - Maybe. But I feel the same way too. Wish that it was possible to collect all the items on a site. Sure some times should be more difficult and sought for, but making them near impossible isn't too much fun.

Kitty - you never know. Someone might be crazy enough to give/trade/sell you some!

I want everyone to have all items
because I want to see more avatarsss

mdom - there are a ton of avatars already tho!

Eh. If I spend money on the site for an item, I'm ok with it being re-released. As long as people still need to spend money on that item, and not have it turned into the site currency. This gives the site more money, and the users another chance at getting those items at a "cheaper" price.
The only catch is: if an item is said to never be brought back and it is? Then there's a wee bit of an issue.

More items in their avatars xD

everyone should have options

Oooh. Oh. Yeah.
I agree with more items. Feels kind of lonely when you're not layered like a maniac.

i don't really get the point of exclusiveness. sometimes the beta items have weird art styles that provide a discontinuity.

shrugs.

Heimdall's guard should come back because everybody deserves a rainbow runway

eh, a decade ago beta was a badge of honor and a special thing but there is so much time between then and now that the value isn't what the item represents anymore. i'm all for bringing recolours or collections of betas

Does saying "a decade ago" make you feel like a wise wizard? Because that's how I'm seeing you now. As a very wise wizard.

I agree with the recolors. It would be nice to have the (recolored) items revamped in the process. Make them fit the current art style.

nah, i am your local succulent of no real note or concern ^^

It feels weird to say "decades ago"...

I remember when I was a kid watching Inuyasha, and I thought Kagome was soooo old because she was 16!
Now I realize, 16 is NOT old and I was stupid as hell at 16.

xDD
I remember thinking 30-something was old when I was a kid
now I do feel old as a 30-something

Really? I only feel old when I compare myself to others. On a daily basis, I'm always surprised that people put their trust in me. Like, how do you know I'm not going to set fire to the companies microwave? I need an adult to supervise this.
(Since I did set fire to the companies toaster oven and sink. orz)

when i was 5 i thought 12 was old enough to drive

if you reach the pedals...

I mean, I can't drive even today

;U; I'm becoming more and more convinced that the universe just doesn't want me on the road...

I don't drive either ;u;

I used to have a permit, but it expired and now I'm in a new state so I have to take the written test over again! >:(

whaaa
why is the US so weird man

It's weird!
Each state has their own driving rules. >:T

>_>; Southern California in particular is trickier to get a license in, because of the 9th circle of Hell DMV, and how slow everything goes, and how long you have to get an appointment, and how you have only three attempts at the written...and you have to take your behind-the-wheel before your permit expires or you'll have to retake the written just to renew your permit...*sigh*

Ugh! That sounds so frustrating >:T

It was never this hard in Minnesota!
I guess it makes sense that it's harder here in SoCal. There's much more people here, so I guess more chances of accidents if they aren't careful about who gets their license.

There's accidents anyway, <x} because people pass the behind-the-wheel and then ignore the rules of the road soon after getting their license. >.>; I failed my behind the wheel exam because I did one of those rule-ignoring things unintentionally, since anyone I've ever driven with says it's totally fine..
I don't know how so many unsafe drivers actually get their licenses..*smh* it's always poor judgement, not looking in mirrors, and poor decision making that's usually the cause of accidents. :[ Insurance companies and Law Firms rake in such a profit from all the accidents around here in SoCal. >.>
ALSO >8{ NOBODY USES THEIR TURN SIGNALS CORRECTLY! It's infuriating!

and you also learn driving at school right xD
man we have to pay so much for the classes

o_o; I never learned driving in school. Wish they had a driving class. >->;
If you enrolling in a driving school like in SpongeBob, that's different. :/ We got those but they cost extra since if you're already paying for school tuition elsewhere.. >:/ I don't need no driving school!
I'm a great driver. I'm so great, I can't pass my exams driving defensively.. ;W; *thumps head on mattress*

Driver's ed was required here when I had learned, but it might have changed to be less restrictive.

Here you have two different options. One is attending a full official course at a driving school, and the other have someone registered as supervising co-driver (who must own their license for 7 years and drive accident free for 3 years) where you will only require reduced basic training at the driving school but need to drive 3000 kilometers with your co-driver.

Driver's Ed was a class in high school in MN.
But I don't think it was required? Also, even if you took the Driver's Ed class, you still had to shill out a good $800 for behind-the-wheel lessons...
And they were always with the really creepy Driver's Ed teacher. And several students told me that he basically makes you drive him to his house and it's really awkward.

I didn't take the behind-the-wheel class/es because it was too expensive and I thought if I waited until I was at least 18, the cost would go down. I didn't ever take actual driving lessons when I went for my driving test. I failed three times and after the third time, I was traumatized because the woman administering the test screamed at me because I rolled through a stop sign and she claimed that I was trying to "kill people".

I tried using a teacher, but he was really unprofessional. He kept answering his phone in the middle of my driving lesson and he was talking to me about his girlfriend and family and asked me if I had a boyfriend and it was just awkward AF.

I don't like being in a car with a stranger. I don't even like being the *passenger* in a car with a stranger :(

With driver's ed, we didn't have to take a behind-the-wheel type test to get our licenses. I don't want to think how much anxiety that would have caused. I did luck out with the instructor because it was the high school principal and he was very much a teddy bear type of personality. The usual ones that taught were coaches that you'd hear horror stories about, from their experiences having to drive with them.
