Limited Edition Furniture

I was surprised to read in the Marketplace Forum that Cactus chairs are no longer available as an upgrade option. They are now collectible pieces.  I understand the need to retire some furniture choices so that there is a market for new ones, but will it always be done randomly and without a heads up? 

Fortunately, I have 2 cactus chairs in my inventory. If I hadn't caught the marketplace post, chances are that I would have eventually changed their style without realizing I was throwing away my only chance to have that type unless I spend thousands of currents to purchase one.  

Why not give some warning before changing the style of a retired piece, like the one we get when we are going to spend favor... something like "Are you sure you want to change style---this style has been retired".

  • Greygoose, if its going to be anything like how often they changed clothing prices and options back in early beta, the changelog would be nothing but vanity and furnitire changes. I think this part of the game is fine without notification.

  • I had an identical thread asking this question when the furniture was first removed and here is the reply from staff:   http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/26528/ 

    If you can read between the lines there is an issue re. copyright that TS needed to address which stemmed from an ongoing discussion re. comparisons of glitch furniture to furniture spotted in RL: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/25400/#reply-274491

  • Ah-ha. Thank you for this information, Cleops! I try to keep up with forum discussions, but totally missed these. I get it now. It sure must have caused a slight kurfluffle for staff, but thank goodness it was caught early and resolved quickly.

  • Np:) Things get pushed down in forums fast and the only way I even found it was thru My Discussions.

    Yeah, at the end of the day TS have to look out for themselves.
