    Waiting on developers to get back to GM's

    Developers probably assigned it to the round file.

    Don't hold your breath cause it might alternately be a case of 'put it off long enough and people will forget and we wont have to do anything'

    No matter which scenario I will probably die of shock if the parrots ever get delivered.

    Parrot is whitelisted but "breaks" when withdrawing it from the mailbox i.e. it vanishes. This is a similar issue to what happens with the Territorial Dragon pet.

    For now, I'm seeing if they can just create ticket versions for the items affected, since tickets will not "break" though sending. I'm hoping at best, to get fixes we can do on our side versus having to take away time from their dev cycles to make a few items specific for us, but we'll see.

    Good to know developers are actually doing something, bad to know that they probably used the same glitched code in 2 different pets (parrot and territorial dragon).

    Even better to get told my assumptions were wrong.

    I wanted the popo fish pet from the same event. It was the only reason I logged in every day until they said the event was borked and I stopped bothering.

    I don't think any of the log in events from the past three months have worked...

    Finally a code has been given that gives most of the items (3 day fash substituted for dark assassin egg , I believe (unless the fash was left over form a previous giveaway))

    And I am pleased for that.

    However, quoting from the news announcement of 5th Sep 2016

    "Your character level will be queried at the end of the Login Promo, so if you manage to hit a new level or awakening threshold while the promo is running, your highest level/awakening level will be taken into account. "

    To me this implies that the items will be given to all characters that participate...

    I had 10 characters on a single account that were rebirthed and participated 20+ days during the 30 days it was supposed to run.

    The reason I participated was to get the cherry blossom for the characters that have little or no fash. However the code is only available once per account.

    Please tell me if I am missing something or if other codes for free cherry blossom have been posted to individual email addresses?

    I posted in the Arc code post but I'll quote it over on this side as well.
    I'm lucky I'm able to get this second code in for the month, though honestly the items were long overdue. Since we had made a change on the fashion set to be a bundle instead (done before we had the fix for whitelist items), allowing an "unlimited redeem" code would raise numerous flags and have a pull done on what promo we were running. Since this was all thrown under the Anniversary banner and we had asked CN specifically to provide item sets that would be ok to send to players, I doubt a pull would be done but I did throw in the limit anyways just in case they asked. It can definitely be an inconvenience, but expanding it to have all the items hopefully makes up for this (and also this makes it so I can continue to provide codes for you guys consistently).

    I can poke around and see if the datapulls are on file if you'd like though - and since the sets are tradeable, you might be able to grab a few off of other players before I finish my search. I'll see what I can do!

    A lot of people have been giving away their extra sets of fashion on WC, at least on my server. And the code has just been released, I'm sure there is going to be a lot more people doing the same thing soon. Just grab a few extras from randoms or friends who don't need them​​

    Again thank you for your efforts kalystconquerer.

    On reflection the thing I am most disappointed with is that people that may not have participated in the login event get the rewards.
