    Quote for truth. Maybe someday I'll get to be involved in an in-game GM event after all the money I've given them.

    just to clarify, you didn't actually participate in this event, but you're deeming it a 'farce' and 'BS' because the time wasn't convenient for you?

    Please post your schedule for the next 30 days and I will work with the Community Team to see about rearranging our pre-scheduled events to better accommodate you.

    no guarantees though! b:kiss

    how are you still a GM when you haven't made one useful post just a bunch of sarcastic trash posts lately?
    she had a point the even was way midday even though i did make it

    I have to agree, the event was a farse and a load of BS.. The time frame that you ran the event was strictly for those who do not go to work, go to school or have a life.. As for us that do have a 9-5 job that are parents that have to make dinner for their kids and get there homework going (if you have kids you know) by the time we get on we hear "what a great event and the stuff I won" really ticked me off.. I too spend money in the cash shops, I too spend alot of time in the game (ask my wife she'll back that up) and have many many friends and co-workers that are on alot and the chances we get are NILL.. Now that I've blown off some steam I'm gonna kill some mobs and take it out on them..

    You didn't have to stay on for the entire time from 10am-3pm PST to do this quest you know. I didn't have time that day to participate in the event, but just because I was curious about what the phrase was and just for fun, I flipped through the forums a little after 3pm PST and figured out the phrase in 30 minutes. Your chances may be nil, but so are the chances of ppl who live in timezones where it's the middle of the night in 10am-3pm PST. And from what I saw, even those ppl who have no jobs no school and no life and who are lucky enough to live in a timezone when this event takes place in reasonable hours have very little chance to win this event anyways. There's no need to cry so hard over this one event.

    The only negative comment i have to do is that the GM was supposed to reveal his/her location. At least thats what i thought reading the Event post.
    At 3:00pm Pacific time, a GM will appear on each server and reveal his location.
    Instead was giving hints and riddles about his/her location which not all players 'd be able to properly 'translate'.
    On the other hand this was a nice event, i managed to find the GM but not in time though b:surrender

    ......now if you actually followed all the rules and saw all the words the phrase would spell out "keep your friends close Your enemies closer..... [5 dots] and your Charms [or charms since both were used in the post but only 1 word per post, so assuming the first word] closest"

    I feel gipped since I know I was one of the first ppl to get to Ironman and whisper that exact phrase (there was no space for tha last t though). Now since spelling was supposed to count, missing those 5 dots or spelling Your instead of your would disqualify you. Maybe missing the t would too, but the only winners would have to be ones that whispered twice for the sake of writing closest right. (BTW closest was posted at 3:01 as well......

    I hope next time when spelling counts, those things are considered, because a lot of ppl could have just heard the phrase on vent when they shouted "I found Ironman!"

    Technicalities, right?

    Yes, I waited up last night for the maintenance to end, even waited an extra hour and a half and finally went to bed hoping it would be sent when I woke up. Well...I woke up and nothing. =(

    Where's the prizes? ='(

    The first 2 respondents from each server got Black Raptor Mounts (6 total). The remaining 3 winners got Snow Rabbit Hares (9 total). Wouldn't exactly call them, 'worthless' though. They are somewhat rare.

    They are not rare for anyone. They are just some rabbits that respawn 24 times a day and some call it rare. BTW I got one. I was hoping for something more :/

    If it's the all-class then it's more involved than "respawn every 24h" assuming you even get one of the veno-only ones to begin with, much less the rest of what you need to make it an all-class.

    The rabbits spawn each hour and are pretty easy to pick up.
