Item Availability

Most equipment, items, and customization options are available for purchase year-round. However, in some cases, usually in conjunction with World Events, equipment, items, and customization options will be available only for a short period of time. During the 2014 Fall Festival, the staff introduced five categories of item availability to help alleviate user confusion about whether or not a particular item, quest, hairstyle, hair color, or skin would be available again in the future.

1. Limited Edition:

Limited Edition items or customizations are available for a short period of time only. After this time frame, they may be Retired, or made Seasonal Edition items. If they are upgraded to Seasonal Edition, SOMETHING about them will change - either there will be small but noticeable art edits, or there will be a price change (a.k.a. a gold-only item becoming gem-only, or a gem-only item becoming more expensive).

Examples of current Limited Edition items that have not yet been upgraded to Seasonal Edition or Retired:

2013 Winter Wonderland Hair Colors

2013 Winter Wonderland Class Outfits

2014 Spring Fling Pastel Hair Colors

2014 Spring Fling Class Outfits

2014 Summer Splash Class Outfits

2014 Fall Festival Class Outfits

2. Seasonal Edition

Seasonal Edition items or customizations are only available to purchase in a given time frame (e.g. the month of December), but recur in the same fixed season (e.g. every HabitRPG winter) once a year without being changed. They can be Retired, but there will be advance notice before this is the case.

Examples of current Seasonal Edition items:

Haunted Hair Colors (every Fall Festival)

Supernatural Skin Set (every Fall Festival)

3. Retired

If something is Retired, it means that the exact items or customizations will never be available again. Similar items or customizations may be released, but there will always be art differences.

Examples of Retired items:

2013 Spooky Skins

4. Mystery: these items are only available to subscribers and will never be available to non-subscribers.

5. Always Available: If the item does not belong to any of the above categories, it should be considered always avaialble. This is the default cateogry for most equipment pieces, quests, items, backgrounds, and customization options. For this reason, items that are always available will not be explicitly labeled as such.
