Snakes and Dragons event not working

VBloodFangv - Dreamweaver

We all see the announcement for the spring Snakes and Dragons event at I believe 18:00 every evening, but after picking up the first quest, the sub quests never become available, making it impossible for anyone to participate in the event.

As above, but noting that there are several child NPCs that spawn to the west of the quest NPC along with some traveling merchants that seem to be related to the event. The children talk in normal chat but do not themselves have names or seem to be regular NPCs.

So regarding this issue, we tried our best to have as much of the content solid and playable for you all, but unfortunately this was something that we had to launch with. This is why there was no community event page or news post regarding the event.
We are still in communication with the developers to fix the event, but in the meantime we will be putting in localization changes to inform everyone of its... impotency.
Honestly, I even want to see what this event is like too! Until we can get it up and running, it will have to be defunct.
We apologize for the confusion that the server messages may have caused.
We do, however, hope you like the mini-boss spawns and other little presents in the update.

b:pleased Thank you so much for taking care of the 3 items in my bag, now I was able to drop it, or sell it in shop; where before it was unnecessary items taking up bag space which I no longer had use of. Now that u fixed that problem, I have a new question: Why don't quest items go in (the secondary) quest item slots in my inventory? They end up in my (first) inventory bag.
