    The drop rate is lower than Therak Blades and they BoP. So no. =b *

    I'm just glad that these new drops won't take several hours a day to wind up getting only half of them or nothing at all.

    Woot! Double Exp, MegaD and moar Perks

    Here we are now going to the West Side
    Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
    Some may come and some may stay
    Watching out for a sunny day
    Where there's love and darkness and my sidearm

    Sapphire... okay, I don't hate the song, especially only once an hour. But it's not as good as as double XP. :)

    Have to admit, this all sounds SO good.

    Except that song.

    The Millennium City Free press quote was hysterical.

    "certainly something to be experienced."

    Nice way to humorously dig at the song style, although personally I think it's as awesome and fitting of this games' setting as the comic style art direction.

    It's not. I managed to sell enough temp backups to afford buying one permanent Ironcad last time around.

    Also, YAY finally a Sapphire AF that is possible to get (given that the recommendation program figure is cancelled)

    And double YAY for water balloons!

    Heh, yeah, I feel about the same -- it fits the theme, it's campy and wincingly enjoyable, but it does get pretty grating. So I figured that was about perfect. ::biggrin:

    For those who have experienced one before, does the Double Questionite affect

    -Questionite Hour?
    -Mission rewards (Alert daily, Serpent Lantern, etc)?
    -Questionite Boxes?
    -All of the above?

    I ask because, as I recall, The Drifter's Prototype Questionite Detector affects the former two, but not the boxes.

    We had 2 Double Questionite weekend in the past.
    And each Double Questionite weekend affected different so no one has an answer. xD

    Yup yup. It's BoE. I'm sure about that.
    And drop rate is probably 0.5%. Even if it drop, it's only one so it will be NEED race in team.
    It means, if you run TT by 5 ppl, the chance you can get will be 0.5% x 20% = 0.1%. OMG.
    15000G in AH was super sale. D:

    If I got a chance to get 2nd Therakiel Blade, I'm planning to make it Hide-and-seek event prize. xD

    Well, this certainly is a surprise...

    First Telepathy Powers get fixed and THEN we get the anniversary event with some new perks and AFs...as well as a hint towards the looming invasion.

    Here's hoping nothing goes wrong this time round.


    *Watches as Mentella sighs and packs a pair of EXTRA Strength! Ear Defenders*

    I'll be sure to have some luck around me with regards this event...good thing I'm free all month :wink:

    Trailturtle hinted that there may be more that hasn't been announced yet, so maybe there will be one or the other.

    I don't know if I will be able to live with that idea... Should I cry or should I laugh?

    Maybe the hundreds of Questionite boxes which lies in my many bank vaults will help me to cope with that. :biggrin:

    If you sing the song yourself, its ...well its only as bad as you are.

    How about everyone submit themselves singing a song to Cape Radio?

    What a coincidence! Recently a certain cat mummy person undead zombie told me you are not allowed to handle any poultry products, until you take your bi-yearly bath.

    Also she said you wouldn't be participating in the event, since she planned to call you non stop during the event as the sound of a ringing telephone (with the implied understanding it will involve some form of human interaction) scares you.

    Also said you were gonna be undergoing treatment for your your advanced case of ratooties (rabies and cooties have apparently mated and hybridized).

    Oh also also she said you were afraid of clowns and flies. That's 20% of the in game population if you think about it (clowns and flying characters, close enough).

    IF you are capable of overcoming these obstacles, then maybe you could try throwing the eggs at Sapphire after learning how not to throw like a girl.



    All kidding aside;


    Sounds good TT, bring on the big bots!

    I throw like a girl do I, really you don't see the irony of Nepht insulting my manliness .

    Because that is club music. I need to drown out the horrendous droning in Caprice somehow.
