    I fail to see how gambling away our money is a "treat". Where are the real events? -_-" Jolly Jones coming back doesn't surprise me at all with the anniversary packs going away soon (Hopefully). I know the game needs money to run but it's lacking event gameplay. (Boring) So yippi! Have fun with those credit cards everyone! b:surrender

    We'd prefer if you used coins, this event could be a sink if you do. As for "real events", if you have any ideas please post in the suggestions section. I'm always looking for game event ideas. Although I do have to work within certain constraints, any idea helpsb:victory

    The treat is what we get for "gambling". We can get the Halloween mounts, we get pirate clothes (even if its for a week only). It may not be the event you're looking forward to... but like eatwithspoons said the Devs are focused on the Rising Tide.. can't say I blame them for not making a huge event for Halloween... Thought it would have been nice, however its understandable given what their big project is right now ^^

    Question...will the fashion be available during the entire event, to pick up for a week whenever we'd like it? I'd like to pick it up right at the end of the event so I'm not wearing the same thing as everyone else, but it might mean "for a week" as in the quest disappears after a week. b:surrender

    You guys shoulda just taken away the option of using GAs (dont even know why they changed the name of it). Make 100k the only option if you truly want it to be a "coin sink".

    It will probably last a week starting from one you pick up the set. Just like the santa set that they gave out.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Jones's blessing = Win.

    100,000 coin / GS gamble thing again = Fail (Gold prices may soar even higher, at least until the aniversary packs are gone).

    Free temporary clothes = Win.

    Actually now that I think about it....since the GS (oka. GA) are worth about 250K - 300k+ because of the current gold prices, most would pay with 100,000 coins instead so the gold prices should stay about the same....or even decline. b:victory

    But the clothes addition to the boutique will probably override that....
    Non-mule characters:

    Wow... just wow... as said before... do you want us to use coins for the Gold prices go down? Make coins the only option... wow, genius huh?

    And real events are usually mob related events. You can be creative there, tons of choices. Even pvp tournaments by lvl in special dungeons or whatever. It's not that hard really... Think about it 1 day... just came up with those in 2 mins.

    Ow well, at least non CS players can have a chance at 100K... i guess thats good. And another good think is that u dont give more end-game items away. Because more of THAT would be epic.... so tyvm

    That would be savage! The issue is, our devs are focused primarily on the upcoming expansion, so creating a whole new instance would end up setting back the release date by weeks.

    So, let me get this straight. With these packs you can get the new ornaments, a flying mount or a land mount. But the packs have a "chance" to contain these items. What if we get super unlucky and don't get any of these? What else do they have inside?

    So being focused on an expansion its an excuse to make more "events" like this... i still dont get it sorry. Two completely different things IMO. And lets wait for that expansion before talking about the awesomeness of it.

    You know, you don't have to take part in this event. Spoons said why it is the way it is, you can either be happy we have a event at all, or you can just ignore it and go on with playing the game. Either way Happy Halloween, and hope you have a good one.

    Never said it was an excuse. I said he explained why they didn't make anything like a special instance. Personally, I like this event that's coming. It was like last years and I don't care that they copied it and reskinned the midnight. I still love the idea. If the gold prices go up... then they go up, there's nothing the GMs/Devs can do about greedy players in the game. The reason gold goes up is because of greed.

    No one can do anything to stop it.

    Keep in mind... last time there was a huge event.. everyone complained and people found a way to ruin it in game. So thank the fellow players for them not coming up with more spectacular events.

    The event I'm referring to is the Valentine's Day event where people constantly lured Jewels to the rose garden, and more that found a way to make the event more unpleasant. And then there's the Easter event we had... I heard nothing but complaining from that one.

    Just saying.... But anyways, thanks again PWI for this event :) I've been looking so forward to one and I'm glad its coming ^^

    Maybe you should just not participate if you don't like it... this event will not make gold prices any worse than they are now in fact they might make it better... soooo quit QQing and bashing on them as they try to build together a big expansion and try to still give us events, even if they are repeats.

    Last time I think you could pick it up whenever you want.
    BUT the fashion will become permanent Wednesday, so lots of people could be wearing it after event week, I will be for sure. That's what usually happens when new fashion come out.




    Spoonz, can't we have some bigger pictures of the fashion? b:cry

    *Sigh*

    No matter what kind of events happen...people are gonna QQ.

    >>> Boutique Sales: Non-cash users complain about the insane coin/gold exchange rates. Well...anyone that DOESN'T have the millions and billions to spend on gold anyways...

    >>> Mob Events: Lowbies are gonna complain when High-Levels KS them and don't give a *BLEEP*. After all...it's a competition right!? Every man for themselves! Just like a wraith attack. Oh...and the lag. OH the lag...fun fun fun!

    Oh...and unless the drops are absolutely godly...the High-Levels are gonna complain more that it's a waste of time.

    >>> Jolly Jones: "OMG IT'S NOT A REAL EVENT"

    Seriously. Can't we just be happy that this one has something for EVERYONE? Even if you don't have the income for the packs/perma-fashion...everyone can appreciate making bodies hit the floor faster, right!? XD

    Especially when you can do it while being sexeh. b:dirty

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    1 guardian scroll costs 9 tokens ... I remember I bought a scroll a week ago for 60k or something, wasn't scroll priced at about 3 tokens before?

    Can someone confirm that the token cost of guardian scroll has been adjusted for this event?

    If I have read your news post correctly, the event lasts exactly 7 days, so in essence we can only get one jones blessing?

    It was probably created that way in case they decide to extend the event.
