Good evening everyone!
Earlier this year in a TBT Direct, I promised that we would bring back the long retired Mailbox and Envelope items to the Shop after some repeated requests from some of our most dedicated collectors. These are both legacy items that were previously available years ago in past versions of TBT, but were retired in early 2020 when the forum received a major update. Well, the year isn't quite over yet, so here's the official return of these items!
Envelopes
Envelopes are an addon item that increases the number of members that you can message at the same time within Conversations. This could be useful if you are organizing an activity or event on the forum, such as gaming sessions or a marketplace giveaway. Of course it should go without saying that repeated mass unsolicited messages, or spam, is not an acceptable use of this item and may have it revoked by staff. In addition to this functionality, envelopes can be displayed for aesthetic purposes just like any collectible.
Mailboxes
Mailboxes were previously used to increase the capacity of your Conversations inbox in past incarnations of The Bell Tree, but will now return as a purely aesthetic collectible, like most other items. Inboxes became an unlimited capacity in early 2020.
New Year's Raffle
Celebrating their extremely well timed return, all purchases of mailboxes and envelopes until January 2nd at 10PM EST will earn an entry to a special New Year's Raffle for a chance to win one of three collectibles. One entry per member. Three winners will be drawn to each win one of the following prizes:
Flower Rotation
While we're at it on changes to the Shop, we might as well rotate the flower collectibles for sale that have been in place since this year's Earth Week event. Say goodbye to Roses, Tulips, and Cosmos -- and hello to...
Finally, as the year ends, we will be saying goodbye to our daily Birthday Bell Bonus promotion that has been running since early November. We hope you enjoyed this boost of Bells and it may return as another bonus in the future!
Have an incredible 2025 everyone!!
Stay tuned for the TBT's Season of Giving 2024 closing ceremony to arrive soon.
