    It's getting close to December and usually it's a month of traditions, and PWI will, hopefully, be no exception.

    Snowmen and the corresponding Christmas event, as well as the Valentine's event were broken by later content updates and have been removed. It's not likely that we'll ever see anything like that. Did they even do the Easter Egg event this year? I don't remember...
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    all that content would work if PWCN would just give it to us. (and the PWE higher-ups would "allow" it to.)

    The christmas even worked, in full last year, but was "not meant to" we had word that only the snowmen were supposed to be active, not the entire event. but the ENTIRE event worked fine till the GMs shut it down, and why would they do that?

    Last year the christmas card event came unplanned, and the GMs later said it wasn't suppose to happen and removed it as mentioned before.

    At best, we get snowmen, just snowmen, you know....icy balls of snow stacked to create a "man" made of snow.

    I remember the Valentine's Day event was a major flop, and I'm talking about the whole "cram as many players into a small field of 2-d roses as you can". I actually pulled up some old screen shots of that and I just remember all the lag that was involved. I, for one, am glad we don't have that anymore. As for the Easter event, I'm not sure because I was on hiatus at the time.

    As for the snowmen, I just considered it a tradition because we had it every year. I know PWI has a nice habit of not holding certain events anymore, but this is one of the only events that's still around, despite all the changes bad and ugly made to the game. It would be nice to have the snowmen back, even for a day *shrug*

    Also, with double drops still going on, it would be nice to get a lot of chi stones from the snowmen. :o

    About the cards event, you had to collect Xmas Cards. With 1-8 you could get a book, with 8-16 you could get another book type, and with 16-21 you could get another book.You could exchange a book at SANTA, a npc placed under Bountyhunter platform . I think one of the gifts from Santa for books was gold bars or something like that.A rare chance btw but i won gold bar item..and the gold bars was just to npc it for some cash . The 21th card was very rare and expensive to buy it from other players.Ppl were trading cards .. 1 for 3 or 7 for 4 .. I don;t remember all the rewards (random) from Santa for exchanging books or the books requirements.
    Cards were droped by snowmen in Archosaur , i dont remember if it was from mobs too.
    There was another "Yeti" event where you had to kill some giant yeti mobs outside of starter cities (Etherblade), high lvl but easy to kill, i don't remember what lvl required or which was the rewards for this event.

    The reason for the Christmas event of 2008 not being run since is a difference in events coded in. From what I gather talking to frankie last year, the full event doesn't work correctly anymore on the new server...

    I could be wrong, but that's what I thought he was saying...

    But a big +1 on the snowmen!b:victory

    can't they just fix it somehow? D:
