Deactivating it without warning is just rubbing salt in the wound. My group spent 5 hours doing it, got to the last 2 guys for it to be stopped cold turkey. I don't care if rewards are bs, i wanted to at least finish it!
Bad for devs, bad form.

What I liked:
4. Lower levels essentially could not do the later sections of the quest - this doesn't apply to me but did apply to several of the people I saw struggling to finish the quest. There were no intermediary rewards, either.

yeah outside of the bugs and cut-off time this is the main thing that I didn't "get" about this event. the only people who the quest rewards were relevant to were new players under level ~30, but they had zero chance of actually completing the event. just didn't make sense. i think it's cool for an event to give out newbie items and i'm not clamoring for pixels, but if you're going to do that at least make the event something the new players can do. if an event's being designed for lv40+ characters and you don't want to hand out pixels, just hand out no-drop vanity items or something. didn't understand this design choice.

To skip the bullshit ass kissers, this was by far the worst event p99 ever hosted. While ai appreciate everying this server has brought me, this event had no server entrigity, every past event was fun!!

I love this server, and when hipe about holiday events get brought it, it makes me super excieted, i dont give a fuck about guises or any of that.
most eventd cater to ranger/druids be fun if you guys brought back the old events zombies invading towns.

i dont know man, make it simple, lets use /a smash and bash, have fun random loot. lustrous russet droping off invading zombies, etc. gods in zones outside their realm with odd loot tables, create fun itmems never creative with absurd charges!!!!

The rewards masks upon turn in, give +10 clicky charges of that illusion!
I dont know man its hard to hate, we beat that drum of free server etc, but come on, thats the best...

Better luck next year.

didn't get to log in while it was going on, but from what i heard it generated a lot of fun pvp on red99

who gives a shit what the rewards were?

GM events shouldn't mean "time to collect welfare pixels" you ungrateful crybabies

sounded to me like it was an original event that fit the halloween theme

looking forward to more things along this line in the future, thanks braknar

not about pixel handouts, but server coming together on an event, forget about fraps, and the server lawyers, get down to some odd encounters.

Doesnt matter if its red or blue, would of been fun to also have a pvp event!!

I agree, the event was conducive to actual fun PVP on the red server. And that GM events shouldn't be about collecting "welfare pixels." But what you're missing, is that the event/quest was broken, and the quest NPC's were despawned before most people had a chance to complete the event. There was no possible way to finish the event without a dedicated bard and porter.

i hope you are refering to the red server event? because on blue nothing was broken? nothing depsawned? not sure what you are talking about, even sirken and barakaner were willing able to assist to anyone who had any interruptions during then event.


where do we enter "this would of not happened on red server"

quadreuple drunk posts!!

I didn't do it but everyone who I've spoken to have said...

- Rewards weren't worth the time.
- What is essentially an treasure hunt (finding NPCs) would have probably been more appropriate at Easter.

Looking forward to zombies for Good Friday though - can we get Jesus as an undead holy knight?

But overall am really impressed, gg coders.

Was expecting the illusion thing to last a bit longer. Stayed up till 6am euro scumbag hours to finish the event, logged in today and illusion goodness was gone alrdy. =<

Running around the world was fun enough, although it felt like it went on a bit too long overall. Was kind of expecting there to be a newbie specific event going on, and top end crew would get their own stuff. First time we saw that message about creature lurking in Kithi, we assumed it was some raid boss to distract the raiding guilds.

Idunno, I thought we'd all get 10 dose illusion pots or something and first five to finish get extra special rewards. I get that everyone on server shouldn't be forked over guises and fungis, but cosmetic sillyness don't really hurt anyone.

Fun to at least see an event for once, even tho it meant staying up until the morning. Euroscum still dreams and wishes these could be started earlier!

I wonder how much lower the pop will be tonight versus last Sunday...not much change I'd say.
