I'm pretty excited, but also exhausted. The release will definitely be today, just... a few hours later than I had planned.



It's been a long road getting these done. I mean, seriously guys, Glitch only started helping us in September, and look at everything she's done! Monthlies, 3 events, and Yearlies are all already under her belt! Not to mention a bunch of commons and other items. And lemmie tell you, it's been an honest thrill watching her practice and improve in such a short span of time.

So! Is anyone else as excited as me? Have you gotten your last minute copies of the current Yearlies?

This just in! Yearlies are HERE! Right now! For realzies! Go look!

[Illusion]

Thank you Glinter for being the most awesome person on this site and deserving of the title.

SUPUAR PIXELISTI-SAN!

[Glitch]

You guys really know how to butter me up I tell you what XD

Side note: I love that picture of Dr House and I am stealing it forever.

[Gallagher]

Hey guess what you guys.

[Glitch]

yearlies are here?

[Gallagher]

Oh. Yeah, I guess that's true, too.

[Glitch]

Haha what else!

[Gallagher]

Well, I was gonna say I'm watching The Great British Baking Show. But, y'know, yearlies are cool.

[Lucid:]

Wow look at all those sweet, sweet yearlies. They're even new items that aren't recolors! THIS IS CRAZY!

[Gallagher]

Yes, they are!

Next year, we'll be having a mix of original and recolor items, so be sure to remember if there are any items throughout the year that you want to see more colors for!

[Illusion]

I'm determining whether I should say some things or not, and the effects it would have if it was said here and now. Some things I've already said before....

I'm about to generalize everything I say as a whole rather then individually point things so I'm not nitpicking, but due note that everything I'm noting is more than one if not all of the items.

1. Some of the item sets aren't worth the price because all the poses are separated, yes I understand the idealism of "Well there is more poses in each set to choose from." But a lot of these items are too disjointed stand alone, then comes the realization or expectation if I desired a whole set your expected to pay for the 6-8 items in the set of a expensive $5 item for one small pose, where a person is better off not spending money on any of these items and just buy items from monthlies instead because it's more likely they will get more bang for their buck.
I mean what would you rather spend $10 on? 2 yearlies without a complete item set, or 5 monthies of some cool tiger item and have a complete set that is just as equal to a full yearly set or just have enough items to work with the item in general for maximum coolness?

2. Some items/poses COULD use some separation as extra poses, moved around to make a different kind of pose, or have some parts of the item erased making whole new ones entirely.

3. Some pixels or two could be cleaned up and sharped a bit. Not going to say which ones, but you can see some poses are a little messy and are in need of being cleaned up a smidge. Not many but I caught a few.

4. Some poses could had been commons. Or could still be used as commons with minor things taken out. Though I already expect Galla has plans on doing this already.
Some poses could had been a anka egg item.
Some poses could had been in the token shop.

5. (sort of goes back to my first point.) Put yourself in a customers shoes. Would you buy that for $5? Some of these items feel as though they're $5 just because the past yearlies we're $5. Try reconsidering some things. Compare a yearly item with the recolor packs and monthlies. Which one would give you the most bang for your buck?

[Gallagher]

Yes, Illu, some poses will have alterations for release as commons, and there are poses that were made for these items that were held off to be exclusively commons.

I obviously can't speak for everyone, but I'll definitely be dropping some runes on The Super Trisphite and Dumpster Diver. Maybe Industrial Angel too, I haven't decided yet. So yeah, I'd buy them.

We'll have more time to work on yearlies the next time around, so hopefully you'll find them closer to your standards. I'm happy with how these items came out.

[Den]

I.... want enough to make full sets of all of them. Even Dumpster Diver. because that one is just hilarious.

[littl3chocobo]

good job everyone!

[Glitch]

I'm sorry they aren't as amazing as some past ones have been, I only had a couple of months to get them all together and I think I did alright for my first stab at yearly items! I have already improved I think since I made some of these and I see my own areas that I could have done better if I was making them now instead of a month or two ago. But! I have always seen monthlies and yearlies on any avatar site as a thank you for donating sort of thing so if you don't like them, you certainly don't have to get them. You can also always buy some from people selling them for aurum too :3 I personally hate wearing full sets so I'm fine with only getting a few of each so I can mix it up.

ALSO SUPER ANXIOUS FOR THE COMMON RELEASES <333333333

[trystan830]

question: how much aurum do runes sell for, and is anyone selling runes... or a yearly package for aurum? cause i really want that Moonlit Warrior background... and i only have 10 runes...
