I gotta say it, I think I have post-event depression.. Haha. Oh how I will miss the excitement and speeding through those levels..
But now that it's over, I have a few words I'd like to share if I am welcome-
Thanks to the staff who made themselves active and helped to support the event. Even though some were disappointed, the event was still creative, which I did admire.
Some things could maybe have been planned better, but many worked very hard to bring us this holiday gift, even while maintaining real lives of their own.
Thank you for taking hours out of your time to host those Lvl 3 KBD events or Pk events and thank you for all the great laughs I got running away from 3 KBD's while screaming NOOO DONT EAT ME!
In the Christmas spirit, I am most grateful for this place we call home, and the many friendships we have formed over these holidays.
I am grateful to be a part of a community filled with so many kind, helpful, (and unique) people where the staff are friendly and the big guys listens to suggestions for improvement.
(And of course most of all grateful for that awesome X2 XP!)
I know that some felt frustrated and disappointed, and even me at times.. It was hard to understand. But, I understand that the present system is designed to be random and keep economic values at a relative standard.
I think the disappointment mostly stems from the fact that many players spent days of game-time to receive 1 or even no presents, whereas others were sporadically receiving multiples.
Although I am grateful, I personally received 4 presents in about 5 days play time, 3 of those were from sleeplessly camping drops with 2 accounts.. I worked hard for it and I was only lucky the last 2 days, but I understand others were much less lucky..
I think my point is: Everyone expects a present on Christmas. (However disturbing that fact may be)
My suggestions is, maybe next time give out many more gifts so that everyone is getting something..
But instead, make it so only a few contain holiday items and the other presents give smaller gifts that will benefit double xp. (10-20 Dragon bones, 10-50 Big bones, 10-100 Ore, 1-200 Logs, etc)
Thank you all again and keep up the good work, enjoy the rest of 2015 and see you in the next year!
