If by "yes" you mean "no", then you're spot-on. 3nodding

A one time only release means a one time only release.
As much as I would like to get my hands on sweetheart for less than the market price, they shouldn't go back on their word.
Sweetheart was never advertised as a "one-time release" because at the time of its release, it was not decided whether that would be the case. It was advertised explicitly as "limited edition", and Gaia has re-released "limited edition" items in the past - the notion that Sweetheart was ever specifically designated not to be released again is fallacious. Many players have obviously assumed that was the case, but assumptions do not a promise make.
Mind you, I think at this point that it would be a bad idea to re-release it - they had their chance, and I tried to convince them to do it at the time to no avail - and that it's best just locking it up in the vault and forgetting about it entirely. I don't like it, but I can at least consider it a 'lesson learned'. sweatdrop

They will never put Integ up for sale.
Because you can't buy integrity.
The release of Integrity was - per swarf - 'not a moral judgment'; after all, attempting to apply a moral definition to an in-game effect is completely absurd. Then again, everything about the release of Integrity was absurd, so aiming to apply any sort of rationality to that event might be an exercise in futility. redface
That said, while I wouldn't re-release Sweetheart, I'd re-release Integrity in a heartbeat - while I'd be tempted to offer it for sale (to illustrate the absurdity in attributing 'integrity' to a ring - though I'll admit, there's a tinge of spite in that), I'd honestly much prefer to offer it up freely to everyone, to negate whatever meaning its exclusivity may have implied. It shouldn't have existed in the first place, and the best solution I can see is simply making it so commonplace that it may as well not...
