rerelease old orb seems more fair than sell rare in separate.

while it give more profit too.

question tho:
will we have some official rig color combo names on some occurring rig item/crate ones?

im only asking the ones that are the are outside the common gradient palette.

Low, keep your head, keep your head low...
.......................................Oh, you gotta keep your head low...

Here is my list of items I would love to see redone!

Crates:
Alice
Rainbow Mesh
Cheshire Cabaret
Ancient Splendor
Engile

Orbs:
Yes Dark Master
Cancer
Porcelain Doll
Soul Caster
Too Hot


I think for any of those that don't have the primary colors like black/white 100% that should be added. I think for patterns we can't go wrong with more galaxy patterns or even inverted.

Annd because I am personally a sucker for this color combo any green and black combos are always a+

@Kairu: There will be some recolors & designs that users will recognize from special recolors in orbs, such as the galaxy skins. There will be new designs and patterns introduced as well. We will not be introducing any new colors outside of our current palette.

In addition to the items already mentioned above, I'd like to suggest:
Corrupted Ichor
In Stitches
Krampus
Silent Night
Xogud Split
Beanie Doll
Capricorn
Lethal Dose
Year of the [insert animal] -- these were all so good

As for the release of these items, I feel if we're going the RIG route, then CIs should be with CIs, and orb items with orb items. I don't really care for having one orb with 5 different variations to win for the Capricorn, for example. If it's too much to stuff different orb items into one orb though, I'm fine with buying them separately as long as it's not a limited shelf quantity.

As for patterns and color schemes, I'm fine with just using color schemes that haven't been used on the originals, if I'm honest. But I would request to have at least 3 different tones released: for example, one warm color set, one cool color set, and one neutral color set. The Groom of Death is a perfect example of a CI that has a perfect balance of color options to choose from.

@KDA Drew: You're welcome! And I get what you're saying that deviating from certain recolor schemes can make items harder to use, but at the same time, staying with the old ones gets stale and makes it hard to use for those who don't care for that design niche (for me, I'll probably never or hardly use the rainbow or galaxy schemes). So very happy to have the occasional different patterns thrown in!

@KDA Drew:

I know black and lime has been used in some items already (like Berry Citrus/Nifty Nurse/Surgical Study) so more like that would be fantastic. Me personally, the crocodile shade is actually my favorite its just not used in too many items that I've noticed and when it is its paired with Bark

I don't know about the value stuff as I've been on and off the site so much, but a chance to get the originals and introducing recolours sounds lovely

I always love when things come out with like rainbow recolours because I have a long-standing dream from like 20 years of avatar sites to just drape my avatar in rainbowsss

I love the idea of reintroducing older items.
But as someone who has found a site after older items have been released as recolors has made things feel a bit more overwhelming and given me a sense of doom, knowing how unattainable certain colorings are.

My favorite way to go about this sort of thing is every month introducing a different past item for 2x (or more) the currency they originally cost, along side the new monthly items.

As for the recolors the best thing I've seen is dyes or inks or something of that sort that can be used once at a time, that is it's own unique item, and can be used as many times as you like, on as many items, but only once at a time.
I'm sure that was confusing, but Idk how to explain it properly. :vanora_sweat:

As someone who has been here since the beginning, I think the best way to rerelease older rare items is to offer them ONLY in recolours. That way the originals still keep their value as rare, and those of us who spent our money then don't get undercut now.

Recolours allow the items to be circulated more freely while allowing the first "edition" to remain valuable. That said I am okay like another user stated to see A FEW offered as a very rare "win" from an orb or something as I know a lot of older users like myself are not active anymore :)
