Hey Volties!
I wanted to ask for your input on the idea of reintroducing past items. This would include but not limited to: Crates, Orbs, and Events.
Some questions for discussion:
How long should they be re-released for?
Would you be interested in new recolors, origional copies, or both?
What is a respectable asking pricing in voltra currency? How should pricing be adjusted for older/Rare items?
Any other input or follow up questions you feel fit the topic and keep the conversation going are welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Follow up questions:
What items would you be excited for a return?
What recolors or patterns would you like to see?
If a RIG (Random Item Generator) format were in place, should item types be kept to their own or a combination? (IE. Crate RIG, Orb RIG, etc.)
OR
RIGs be specific to an item? (IE. Alice makes a return. Alice Orb contains various recolors with a very low chance of obtaining the original or no chance at ? Offer the Original Alice in shops as a Blueprint that can be crafted with the collection of new recolors? Only offer Original Alice in a Bundle? Or no Original Alice at all?)
OR
What other ways could recolors and/or originals be obtained?
On topic, but just another avenue to introducing new content:
With the reintroduction of an item, possibly expand the poses available?

Such great ideas! I just want to thank all of you that have participated in this discussion thus far. My main concern was maintaining the value of the original items in fairness to those users who have supported us in the past, while also offering Voltra's item catalog to our new users.
Another factor is our communities fluctuating activity levels. Both sellers and buyers may find it difficult to make a transaction for an item they are in search of due to it's rarity and lack of other merchants active on the market place. So, by means not yet decided, reintroducing recolors with minimum opportunities at the originals seems to favor old and new users.
In addition, I've been pondering how we can offer the community more content that doesn't take a huge toll on our limited staff availability and power. I think recolors may be, if not, just as exciting as new items! It's actually pretty fun and neat on the artist side to play with different designs and colors. As it is, we cycle through a handful of the same color combos/patterns, but also have outliers for recolor options. New recolors would allow Voltra's catalog of items to be more compatible and open up more avenues for avatar creation for color/pattern matching.
Just so it's clear, we will still be introducing new items besides recolors. Whether or not we continue following our monthly release for crates (tri-monthly for orbs) I'm unsure of right now.
Please, keep the conversation going if you have further thoughts!
Maybe even drop a few items you'd like to see return.
No decision has been made on how past items will return yet, but from the majority of feedback, I'm happy to make the motion that we will move forward with plans to achieve this. Thanks again, Volties!

past items should be release once a year or anniversary season to keep the price integrity of the items. Recolors of items should not be release constantly.
