Sweet Remembrance extended to 10/16

AWESOME!b:dirtyb:dirtyb:dirty

You should put a GM next to the reward npc on the PvP server using the ban for people camping and rpking, cause atm that event is far from be popular on PvP server for that reason.

Edit: I'm not for the ban for rpk on PvP server, but just a 30minutes so people can turn their envelops could be nice.

And i know GM can ban for 30 minutes from the game at the meet the GM event they did it ban someone for 30 minutes during the event.

Yay for event i wish it was permanent but it may **** with the economy but possibly a monthly event to try that new approach.

Also wanna add its glitched up a bit and does not notify when the 1k or 1.5k mark is met at least in DW. Kinda sucked cause all of a sudden went from 500 with no response for ages then BAM 2k mark and events over.

Was slow tonight due to no one actually reading forums which is good for us who do and event lasted longer but i bet tomorrow it will end in a flash QQ.

Raise the limit QQ i love the event let it last longer (So i can make more money lol).

Well i get to rant a lil since im on the 1st page strangely enough lol. Hope all is taken into consideration or at least read. Thank you for your time.

Yeah I'm in DW and we kept thinking where r the countdown..n then bam boss is there to kill qq...Hopefully not same thing tonight b:beatup

sry for my stupidity,
does this mean the event is taking place the last time on the day of maint (a few h b4 maint)?

That event extended, what about 2x drop? when its over? I mean, exactly time, or its extended too as rumours says? b:surrender

Hi everyone,

We've decided to extend this event by another additional week, so you'll be able to do it until 10/16. Happy questing!

Just a hint that one of your most popular and succesful events was the Aurora Agent. Should bring that one back for a week too.

No.

Extend 2x. Add commodities, not add inflation.

Coming off as a bit of a d.ick here, aren't you ?

Token prices, which are the surest barometer of inflation, remains at the lowest levels I can remember seeing... on my server at least.

The only thing your premature outburst did was shout to the forums that those who can't farm Nirvy until their eyeballs bleed shouldn't be allowed to pocket some easy coin like the rest. b:bye

No1 cares for what you think. This event is making us major profit and were rather enjoying it. Instead of hating, why not take your 101 BM and make some serious profit for what you want from this?

Actually no, I was being direct.

This time I'll be what you word-filter avoided:

You're not a smart guy, are ya?

Token prices are determined by multiple aspects. Originally they did shoot up until the super pack sale happened.

Everyone can do Nirvvy, not to mention caster nirvvy, not to mention farming alts, base trials drops, Mold & Essence drops, and TT.

Try watching gold prices and wanted pack item prices. Gold is higher than usual for such sales, pack items are higher than they should be with such a sale. People have more money to spend that is coming from nowhere instead of tradeable market, and therefore the prices jump. Take an econ 101 class dude. Heck, wikipedia some stuff. You might prosper from it.

Edit: Direct example for the BM below me:

Tome frags were 75k before this event. They're 100k right now.

Last "Decent" not even super pack sale tokens fell to 11k and under. They're 11k-11.5k right now.

Why? Because people will pay the higher prices cause they have the coin to throw at it that is coming outta nowhere.

You could be farming TT, Nirvvy, etc with friends and making coin for the Pan Gu - just as easy during that time, and not inflating the economy.

And Cath, I already did, and still am due to the pack sales. Not the event. I asked 4 people who went nuts on the event how much money they made that night. I doubled it farming TT one night with 4 people...on my catabarb, and 1.5'ed it doing 3 person Nirvana one night. There's better money out there for those willing to do something other than fight over mob spawns and run back and forth to town. Also, look up the term Profit in a dictionary.

You know what has increased the threat of this dire "inflation" that you are warning about ?

This month long x2 drops that you were JUST calling to be extended. Seriously... only an imbecile would think that the daily remembrance event is dumping the volume of coin in the economy to the point where it over shadows the damage done by a month of double drops. And this doesn't even factor in the situation of not all servers being equal. I mean jeez... have you been following at all the other sweet remembrance threads where people at LC server are complaining about not finding enough people to get the event done ???

And I suspect the same thing is happening on the perennially under populated Archosaur server as well (and we can forget about the Euro servers).

So tell us then what damage an extra week of Sweet Remembrance would do to their's or anyone else's servers for that matter. No one is calling for the event to be made permanent or anything like that. But doom and gloom over an extra week ?

LOL

As to Nirvy farming... believe it or not... it's still an instance of have's vs have nots. Sure people can still get together and make 6 man squads to go farmer regular/caster Nirvana. But if you really want to get into the fast 2-3 man runs which are the real money makers... the gear/refines cap is now higher than ever.

And even if I were to concede your point about everybody and their alts now being able to farm at will... all it means now is that everybody is that much richer which = higher inflation. And guess during which times farming dominates the majority of people's activities in PWI, which then contributes to higher inflation with all that extra wealth knocking around ?

Yep... x2 drops... WHICH YOU JUST CALLED TO BE EXTENDED.

Great going dude... b:victory

tw map adds 600m to the economy every week.

this event adds about 528m a day

tobls even on a slow week probably add as much every week.

BH is kind of an unknown, since population stats arent released.

528m a day is a huge amount of cash to be thrust into the economy every day, so much in fact that i would doubt the market has time to correct for it i.e gold prices, gems, other comodities.

thats ~3.6B a week from the event, there is no coin sink that can come close to sucking that coin back out of the market.

all the TT and nirvana mats don't add any coins to the economy, none.

the only bright side is that while the amount of TT/nirvana mats available during 2x increases, thereby decreasing their value, the tremendous cash injection into the market of coin from the event will likely serve to balance that value out.

the value of coins is decreasing and the value of mats are decreasing. if they decrease at the same rate, it will be no noticeable price value between farmed mats and coins.

the only thing we can expect is a spike in gold prices once the market corrects. unless the economy is big enough to absorb the cash injection. the effects will be much more pronounced on lower population servers.

of couse on an individual level, people love the event, because they see their own bank account go up, but in terms of the servers economy, its kind of a bad thing. if you find yourself saying "I like this event because I make a lot of money" you are missing the bigger picture.

its the difference between micro and macro economics.

Um... you're missing the fact that low population servers are having trouble finishing the event. And if you don't finish the event you don't get the cash reward.

Also... much of your post assumes that a large segment of the population is taking part in the event. If so to be honest this event would be finished in 30 minutes or less. But due to the length of time it takes on most servers (DW is has a relatively good population but it takes an hour at least to finish on average), that implies that it's the same people doing it over and over. I can understand that since Nirvy probably takes priority for many and in the early days of this event it was even worse (2+ hours to finish). But this restricts the wealth to a relatively small segment of the players. So no wide spread wealth typically means inflation is kept in check. And I certainly don't see prices rising everywhere. Supply is so high in the most popular mats available that merchants have little room to raise prices. Same for tokens.

As for Gold... it's alway high during x2 as farmers look to convert their coins. But I notice that (at least on my server where it's about 1.4 mil) it's no where near the 1.9 million mark it reached in previous 2x events. Less people playing now compared to then perhaps ?

Maybe so. But it just shows the economy isn't so out of control that extended events like sweet remembrance will do untold damage.
