Topic is simple enough, I think. Apologies if a thread like this exists... I've seen individual posts on this topic, but not a new thread.

So yeah... I was actually one of the few who had a slight problem with this event last year (that problem isn't worth posting here), but all things considered I'd want it back. It had cool items, but they weren't all about gambling for superweapons and whatnot like the Ani Packs seemed to be. You could spend hours just sniping snowmen and amassing tons of chi stones (and this will help us even more this year, since now we have genies who need a steady supply of chi... also the gear shattering system for PKers). Overall, you could tell some thought had been put into it instead of just saying "oh hai here's a new pack BUY 50 OF IT LOLZ."

So how about it... GMs, are there any plans to work this into next week's patch, or a future one? Or will we be seeing it at all? Personally I'd be disappointed if we keep up this "pack" stuff, but this nice event doesn't come back - especially since the coding for it should still be in the game and it'll probably just take a flip of a switch or two to re-enable it.

Poll included to give staff an idea of what the users think. :P

    All I want to know is if the part of the events will include the higher level quests getting the Christmas outfit again. I missed it last year and need a whole outfit to go with my new Rudolph mount.
    tatuaje: grinding mobs and zhenning ???
    frankieraye:All right, I admit it, it's a bit retro. lol.

    I'll leave this open, as it's not the exact same topic as the other thread!

    I think a return of the snowmen would be awesome! I actually started playing PWI during this event last year and had a lot of fun just destroying snowmen for 100 exp each and collecting stones of all sorts (many of which I still have in my bank lol)

    It does good to connect with our ancestors.

    I voted no. See hamstas logic. And uhm, would anyone mind explaining what the snowmen were? It probably won't make a difference to me, since I'll be gone, but it would be nice to have a good event that everyone can enjoy.
