    A Thursday at 10:30 AM? What idiot picked the time slots for these? >_>

    Seriously, at least offer evening runs. You can keep a log of who won last time so you're sure nobody wins twice.

    Server is on the west coast of the US. Are you really expecting the times for it to cater to those that far away instead of the ones that are actually... well... on the west coast?

    If it were an east coast server then fair enough, but for the west coast ones that have always been this way... your complaint kinda loses a ton of value.

    I started playing before there were east cost servers and european ones. *sigh* Just saying, it would be cool to hold events either all day but you can only participate once or twice a day with some hours difference.

    Problem is, I really doubt they'd really do that due to abuse potential among other things (Like general laziness among other things b:chuckle ). In fact the only "event" I can think of off the top of my head that works like that is the Snake Isle race and back when it was done often by plenty of people, they'd do their best to "abuse" their ability to run it twice a day.

    They originally had it catered to your time. Then they realized 10:30am was WAY to early for 99% of the population in the united states and so they changed it. b:chuckle

    So I'm dying to know - how much random PK was going on in there yesterday? I admit it'd have been novel to see the Cube so full, but I wasn't in much of a cubing mood yesterday. So I can't help but wonder if it was easy to get to the end, or if there were sins camping every PK room or something...

    Well I blitzed through it and I ran into nobody. But a few of my squad members told me they were mostly camping near the start (room 11 etc).
    My route was

    1 - 6 - 8 - 13 - 17 - 22 - 25 - 31 - 34 - 39 - 45 - 50. Took me I think.. 15mins..

    Couldn't start until 30 mins in so I didn't get a 5 mil card...
    But it was kinda lame as I didn't get any PK rooms or jail areas to PK in.
    Pretty much I got all the digging rooms.

    I got stuck in room 24 with like 20 others digging for 100 tricky cards. b:angry
    lol

    I made it with minutes to go just to get an ecstasy card.

    I had got another one in room 8 so it's my first trip through the cube coming out with two cards.

    Woot a nice smooth cube run :)

    Ironically the last exitement card went out when I was in 48 ><

    But yea, some people have no brains and just cheat. I mean seriously? You arrive at room 50 one minute after it was announced which item? Should disqualify them...


    Anyway, thanks for the fun event! b:thanks

    Cheat? It's gambling just like the packs. There is no way to fit all the items the npc sells in 1 inventory. If the gamble didn't pay off, u had to tele back to room 1, get another char to bring you the item, rebuff and start over again and you lose the precise time at the beginning.

    I hit room 11, then room 14, then room 26 (15 min wait almost), hit 32 (killed someone who kill factionmate, which pretty much "aggros" the whole room XD and got myself killed) went back to 1 and rebuffed, hit 24(100 cards), 32 again (helped kill the person that killed me in 32 before XD karma), 38 and still got ecstasy card in 50. b:victory

    It's cheating since they started before everyone else was allowed to...

    I kinda hit lame rooms, then got 11 with vindi and leg chasing each other like madmen. lol Some other boring rooms, got one of those 2 monsters in 2 minutes rooms. Big ks fest ftw. Dug some cards, hit 34, killed a cleric, paid a fortune in 37, hit bully room, killed big dog, dug some more and fnally finished. b:shocked

    Nah, if you pay attention to this type of thing, they never do armor, weapons, or ornaments. And had to be accessible by people 40+, so things from really high level npcs are out of the question. I actually considered cheating in this manner by buying all of the different items from the merchant and it would have worked, but I didn't because I wasn't going to be on during event time anyway and I knew it. Besides, like you said it would have been a gamble and i'd of felt bad for cheating. :P What they should have done is do something more clever than red jade, which was easily guessed. Thousand Year Lees would have been better. It's not something you think of right away, but it's a part of the level 32 culti so anyone 40+ should be aware of it.

    If you looked at the rules they didn't ask people to start in room 1. They seem to have expected at least some to make a lucky guess on what would be required.

    A better idea would be to setup a catshop in room 1 with a highly stackable rare item like snowballs and sell it for 5k. With 13 slots of 50k snowballs thats like 3b coin so it would be impossible for a troll to buy it out.

    There are plenty of alternative stackable rare items like elite triple-bladed bolts or something.

    No, but it does say that at event start they'll announce an item that you're supposed to go get, which implies that you shouldn't already be crossing the starting line which is room 1. Eh it's a sneaky way around the rules at very least, even if it's isn't cheating in the disqualify them instantly sense.

    And the snowball idea is brilliant! I mean really, how many people still have snowballs and how many of the ones that did would even think to bring them?
