Subeta has introduced a brand new feature, dance groups. This new feature is apart of their forums and enables you to dance with other users on Subeta.

They are technically regular forum threads, but also contain a live chat feature as well!



Get ready to revolutionize your Masquerade experience! I'm excited to announce our brand new Dance Groups system - a new way to dance, chat in the forums, and collect those sweet sweet dances with your fellow Subetans!

🤖 How It Works​

Join a dance group and let the 🤖 Auto Dancing Machine do the work! Every 5 minutes, the robot automatically pairs up two participants who haven't danced yet, ensuring everyone gets equal opportunities for tokens - even when you're offline 🫨!

Dance Groups are regular forum threads at their core, but with a special live chat component that refreshes automatically (like the shoutbox). It's still just forum posts under the hood - but with real-time events to keep the conversation going.

These dances are on a separate timer from the legacy site so you're only increasing the tokens you're bringing in 😉

  • Fair pairing system ensures everyone gets their turn
  • Real-time group chat to connect with fellow dancers
  • Participate in up to 3 dance groups (5 for Gold members!)
  • Groups need at least 10 people to keep things exciting


🎯 The Goal​

This system is designed to help everyone participate in Masquerade events, especially those who can only pop online for a few minutes at a time. You can still collect tokens and stay connected with your group even with a busy schedule, which I know is where most of us are these days.

We're also hoping that seeing those familiar avatars in your dance groups reminds you to say hi to friends and feel a little like you're hanging out together. The social connections are what make these events special! Leave that profile comment, say hi to your online friends!

✨ Special NPC Guests​

Dancing NPCs may join your groups and bring magical powers:
  • ⚡ Speed Boost: Reduces machine intervals from 5 to 4 minutes
  • 👥 Group Dance: Enables threesome dancing with 3 participants
  • 🍀 Lucky Charm: Reduces breakdown chances and improves repairs


NPCs will activate their powers when paired, and they might even leave to join other groups - so you'll need to experience different groups to see all the abilities!

🔧 Machine Maintenance​

Sometimes the Auto Dancing Machine breaks down and needs fixing! When this happens, group members work together to repair it. Don't worry - it's just a simple button click, but it keeps groups active. The bigger the group, the more people will be needed to fix the 🤖.

🖌️ User Popover Improvements​

Speaking of seeing friends - we've made some exciting improvements to user popovers based on your feedback! You can now:

  • Choose between hover or click activation at your popover settings
  • Customize your popover background color on the same page - this is how other users will see your popover!


Just a little bit of personalization 🎨

🎯 How to Join​

Ready to start dancing? Here's how:

  • Visit the Masquerade Forum on Kumos
  • Look for topics marked with ♪ Dance Group
  • Join an existing group or create your own!


This system is currently in testing phase, so timing and features may be adjusted based on your feedback.

This sounds awesome! I am eager to find out how to use the live chat option and how people will use dance groups to socialize with each other.
 
The very striking thing about this auto dancing machine is that one can still earn some valuable tokens even when they are offline. Great way to keep earning tokens without having to constantly login and stay on the site. Optimism here.
