what's the deal with the new god costumes?

Are they permanently free to subscribers or do we get to pick one for free before they start charging credits for them?

I've heard a couple of different things along those lines so just looking for clarification.  I currently have a bobbing penis on my head and although it's kinda amusing the only reason I'm wearing the hat at all is because I was under the impression I need to keep it on until the free period ends.  Am I wearing it for nothing?  Please advise and thanks in advance : )

  • As long as you're a subscriber, you can use any of the free-for-subscriber clothing, so yes they are always free whenever you have subscriber status.

  • "These threads are super hot, complete with animations on the headgear and in celebration of the amazing feats over this past Epic, they are free for all subscribers for the next week!"

    according to this blog post from the 18th

  • Oh interesting! If they become not free, I guess you would still have to purchase them or lose them when you change outfits?

  • And now we're back to the original question!

  • Me too, though I have no idea what will happen once they are not free. Then I got distracted by the spiffy steampunk stuff and didn't end up wearing Giant costumes. I am very sad the steampunk skirt clips through the Giant robes so badly. :-(

  • Personally, I and probably a few other people are hoping that they become non-sub-locked once they become not-free.

    I would also hope, though, that you guys get to keep them once they're in your wardrobe, otherwise it would be silly to have had them "free" on a temporary basis. I think it was probably considered a "thank you" to those who were here at this exact time and thus probably helped with the feats at least a little bit.

  • Even if they remain sub locked when they are no longer free it's still a good deal (IMHO). Anything purchased you keep when your sub expires. So as long as you had a sub to initial purchase it it's yours forever* vs free sub locked items which you loose a week after the sub expires.

    There's a lot of clothing I like that sub locked-free that I like but unable to use as I'm only able to spurge every once an a while on a moly sub but at the moment I'm unable to maintain an active ongoing subscription.

  • Can we get a God costume? Not sure what it would be except pink and some how indicate that you had been disconnected.

  • They would be wireframes, Bacon-o.

  • I've been having fun taking snaps of myself at various shrines in the various giant costumes and tweeting them with the tag #fashiongiant.  Feel free to do the same!

  • They are free for subs for a limited time. Then, they'll have prices set (though some pieces might remain free-but-sub-locked).

    So, if you get them now as a subscriber then (a) they cost no credits and (b) you'll be able to keep (most of) them after your sub lapses.

  • Bacon-o and Pixel:
    I would suggest giant Wire frame glasses and eyes #GreatGatsby

  • @ stoot

    I remember a year ago I bought some "subscriber only" items, then canceled my subscription due to a 3-4 month period of non-playing, and started the subscription again a few months back. After I cancelled my subscription, all the "subscriber only" clothes in my wardrobe vanished (in contrast to my vanity features, which stayed, and also in contrast, of course, to those clothes I actually bought with credits). I was running around without shoes for a while, because they were thus taken away from me.

    So to clarify: If I would cancel my subscription now (for example to upgrade or downgrade it for a while), will the subscriber-free clothes stay in my wardrobe, or will they vanish?

  • Louis Louisson: Anything that is paid for with credits (regardless of subscription-lock) is yours to keep after the subscription lapses. Anything that is subscriber-locked-but-free is removed some time after the subscription lapses. So, not "all" your sub-only wardrobe items would have been removed; just the ones that didn't cost anything else, other than subscriber status. 

    In the case of the giant outfits, we'll be switching most of them to cost credits, so those won't be taken away when subscriptions end. And, in your example (temporarily canceling a subscription to change status) nothing at all would happen since there's a grace period of about a week before any changes are made at all.

  • Stoot, that was super-generous, to let current subscribers get all the giant costumes we want for free. Thanks very much!

  • I'm seeing all the giant costumes for 75 credits a piece, which makes me really sad, because I really like them, and I just activated my freebie one month subscription after reading this thread before. :\ Am I looking in the wrong place, or has it been changed in the last week or something?

  • If you nabbed them all for free, they can now be recycled for credits.  15 Credits apiece is a good deal if you 'bought' all of them for zero credits each.

  • Aw, I thought this might be about actual gods like Poseidon and Pele.  That'd be pretty cool.

  • "actual gods."

    Hmm.

  • so glad I have the rook costume though

  • @Tatsuo, none of mine show any option to recycle. Maybe they fixed that oversight. Not that I'd recycle them. They are way too cool. :-)
