Return of Anniversary packs?

wow this just makes me wonder if they actually want the non cash shop aka POTENTIAL buyers to quit the game. Its nice being able to buy a little bit of stuff without having to spend your real life money just to get them.

I hope like hell there is another thing hidden in the update *COUGH*COUGH*COUGH*gold cap*COUGH*COUGH* for gold in ah, I am not saying a rdiciolous low cap, but no more of this 400k ****.

On top of this they gave us no warning about the maintence on the server. << I swear it's things/times like this that really makes you wonder if they actually care about KEEPING players here for as LONG as possible, sure this is one way to get it but you ARE also HURTING people as well, no one really seem to LIKE having to pay the outrageous gold prices atm. Sure there is a few people that have the horde of money kept up in a cave to afford this price, and buy up all the gold easily, but some of the people that are just now getting on there feet, are getting knocked straight back down, by this re -release of the anniversary packs.

I know this seems like a QQ, and it may also sound like a quitting post, which is not my intention, but still the silent maint, plus this re-relase of something that drained most of the mid-rich players of every cent they had/have, it is not something I like, nor can I really see any one TRULY like it, unless they are benefitting from it. (COUGH)Merchents!*COUGH**cough*

Let's hope on the "April Fools in October!" idea. =\

I really, really would like to see a GM respond to this. Honestly, at least a word from them would show they at least have SOME respect towards their players... explain why they're bringing it back when it's no longer the anniversary. I mean c'mon, some of the Announcement pages have been very colorfully woven into elaborate "omgzbuythisnao" synonyms... Surely the writers could spice it up a bit more than the... err, nothing they wrote on the page this time.

GMs, please, post something? An explanation would be nice. b:sad

I don't usually post on the forums, I usually just go with the flow but with this my only reaction can be WTF???!!!
I really start to wonder who demanded this back. According to PWI it was by popular demand, so lets see all those people who demanded it back raise their hands.
Or does 'I hate anni packs', 'Duke stfu!' and 'I'm quitting cuz of this stupid event!' translate to 'I love anni packs, I really want them back and gonna spend crazy amounts of cash on them!' in PWI HQ?

Very very very disappointed.... b:cryb:cryb:cry

(still wanna see the people who demanded the return though)

A very small, and I mean very small percentage of players come to the forums, and even less post. The forums is the last place you can use to see what the "players" really think or want, since we are the minority... very vocal, but never the less we are a minority.

We have no idea of how many tickets they got asking for the packs back because of whatever reason.

I think they should, at least, had changed the names to "halloween packs" and added nightmare to the list of mounts.....

so how does the anni pack work
lol, everyone is flaming b:shutup

Wait wait... did they add anniversary packs to the Boutique before maintenance, or are there patch notes somewhere indicating another month of anniversary packs?

Looks on the events page? o-o

Anniversary packs work as such:

1) Buy for 1 gold in boutique, or several hundred thousand coin from players in-game.

2) Right click it.

3) Pray during the bit it takes to process it for a godly item.

4) Be disappointed when you get 15 Tokens of Luck (which, at least during the first event, could be sold ~13k each).

5) However, if Luck is on your side, you can get a Token of Best Luck (see the Announcement page to see what this can be exchanged for) or some other "rare" items such as mounts (lobster), aero mounts, plat. charms, etc. (again, see the Announcement page).

6) See your name in red as Duke shouts your reward in WC (if you get one of the #5 items).

Well if you look at it, october it dropped once they took it out. It was slowly rising again because the ripples in the water had discipated, we were forgetting their stupidity and hopeing for the best. Now, of course, they add it back. I don't think it's going to spike as much though. I speak for alot of us when I say this is BULL$%@!

i agree its totally meaningless to have 2 anni event per year, i mean whats next ? 5 xmas events in 4 months ?

Total joke. Beyond anything.
