I wish the prezzies would just spawn in our inventory, I get why the running around would be fun, but with pings of 43,000ms it's a nightmare, I've retreated to my guild hall a few times just to avoid the chaos.

It used to be like that.

But it attracted too many afkers.

Aw Gaile that's very cool.

Always good to see more holiday spirit.

Teehee I got enough presents just the normal ol' way that I'm happy.

CTU · Jan 02, 2007, 01:49 AM // 01:49

>.> gj sword now people are gonna be greedy and glitching up there.. real cool, tell everyone to stop doing that so Gaile and devs can get up there.

Haggard · Jan 02, 2007, 02:16 AM // 02:16

Anet have probably already got all the pressies back anyway.

CTU · Jan 02, 2007, 02:47 AM // 02:47

No, there is ALOT of random people up there everywhere.

I spawned up there by an accident.

Orphan Anthem · Jan 02, 2007, 02:50 AM // 02:50

Yeah this year was kinda plus/minus kinda thing. Afkers get screwed like it should be and random people get more presents.

Legendary Battousai · Jan 02, 2007, 03:16 AM // 03:16

Why do we have to do something to get free shit? Why not just give the afk'ers their presents and theres no bugs, gliches or anything else to complain about. Kthx.

Anyways, it's nice of them to collect those presents. I was just surprised to see him teleport up there.

Nice of Gaile.

You missed a little something in censoring your SS btw. T_T

lol dont ruin the moment

FeuerFrei · Jan 02, 2007, 06:40 AM // 06:40

its not only the taiwanese ppl...from what ive heard, some south east asians are also affected....they get DCed when they enter crowded areas(eg LA)

[DemoniC][EVL] · Jan 02, 2007, 07:00 AM // 07:00

Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't it be easier, especially for the dev team, to just make an npc giving out hats or/and presents for them... if they put it in the taiwan district or something european/american players can't 'abuse' those npc's anyways.

And what's the difficulty with just extending the event, or running it again at a later time there or something like that? And picking up unassigned presents, why not just program in some presents for the taiwanese etc.? I would think that would be easier to do then picking them up and delivering them to those players.

Not only Taiwanese people are affected. The whole of South East Asia has been affected as well. I'm living in Malaysia and I can't get past the Loading 0 files screen after the character selection. When some of us do manage to get in, we get pings upwards of 1k. My Alliance guilds which are all based in the region are all affected as well and most of us are on American district.

Lewting Gaile.

natuxatu · Jan 02, 2007, 08:56 AM // 08:56

Looks like Gaile got put to work.. hope she got to enjoy the event still.

pingu666 · Jan 02, 2007, 10:04 AM // 10:04

i prefer the stuff spawning in inventory method tbh, i dont see much wrong with afk'ers getting stuff.

i semi afked this event, 2 pcs, just pop to each one every 5-10min and collecto the loot
