Hey everybody, this is Saege from the Saege and Starr Item giveaway. I didn't get a chance to take any screenshots (you guys had me busy) but I wonder if anybody got some good shots of the lines while entering for the raffle, and the event itself at the camp fire.
We had a lot of fun! Please post screenies! I hope everybody had fun. Sorry if you didn't win!

My favorite line...
"What are the odds of a 1 being rolled."
Thank you so much Saege, was a great fun event. I had a blast whispering buddies to race there and collect them some of the raffle items. The lines were so classic too! One had about 20 people in it, I wish I had taken a screenshot. Even the griefers training the entirety of EC into the tunnel and crashing the zone was hilarious. And anyone who said people would leave after winning was dead wrong. I won early, as did many others, and we all stayed until the end! Thanks again for a lot of fun!

Woot I get a mention! I was obviously being so super cereal too
Nice event Saege and thanks very much. It made for an interesting evening for many bored folks I am sure (self included). P.S. why didn't you roll my number?! QQ

Was an awesome event guys, thanks for doing it. I was 108 so kinda got there late, but I took a lot of screenshots, I'll post some in a bit. My number was rolled at the start but it was out of 119 instead of 120 so I didn't win lol, was still fun though : p
*edit* screenshots
Zoom in to see the population on one of them, think it was around 145, also like playing wheres Waldo with your char : O

Heres a pic taken just before the zone crashed due to someone trying to wreck the fun with a massive train.

What's funny is the zone didn't crash due to lag, it was a hard crash, meaning something error'd out. So with that considering, pretty decent for handling that amount of players. We've made several optimizations since the kithicor GM Event to help with things like this.

As to what everyone missed, these two were upset they couldn't sell their accounts for real money so they just gave their stuff away.

You've taken our joke too literally, now!
Thanks for the kind words everybody, and the screen shots you all contributed. Did anybody happen to catch one when I was about 20x bigger, and Starr was in a plate-look the same size?
Also, nobody mentioned that a Manastone was given away! It went to Warracks, a naked-as-hell level 6 Mage. A GBS, PKT, two pairs of GEBs, lots of BS jewelry, and tons of other items went out to a lot of random people. It was quite awesome! A redistribution of the wealth, it seems!

I'm still reeling from winning the Splitpaw Hide Gloves! I was really hoping for a Greater Lightstone, though. :P Ironicly, we ran north all the way from South Karana to participate.
I'm kidding....Very cool of you guys to throw an event like that and it looked like everyone involved had a lot of fun. Congrats to the winners and best wishes to you two with whatever comes next.

Here's a couple more pictures. I was amazed at how quickly that line formed to get your number once it was requested.

Just the fact that it happened, that was pretty amazing. That was all Jasper's doing, and it was much appreciated. I have my windows separated into three... combat/system related were being spammed so hard with messages to trade. Rediculous!
Thanks for havin that event!, loved that line.
everyone was moving along in it like they were at the DMV haha.....so funny never seen anything like that :)

That was a sweet event. I was checking in towards the end of it, and made you a bit bigger and easier to spot in this huge crowd. If you do such an event again let me know, and i help you out, if i can.

Awesome event. Additionally, it was AWESOME to see the EC tunnel full again. More tunnel events! :P

Sounds like it was fun. Unfortunate to hear that some people chose to prey on the poor noobie winners that didn't know the value of some of the items they had won.

Man - I can't believe people were all in line like that. Much better behaved than at the DMV - and better looking too! :p
