Highly unlikely that they couldn't just throw in a double ____ weekend, but meh, yay for temporary cessation of lag spikes. I wont be surprised if they do a redux.

We apologize for the event ending earlier than announced on the schedule. We know there are a lot of disappointed people who expected to login today to participate in the Halloween event. We goofed big time, and the times were not put in correctly. We cannot do a live build today to "turn on" the Halloween event, but myself and the Live Team will be meeting to discuss how we can make up that event time to you all.

Thanks for the info Regina, you should TOTALLY do a Halloween Redux 2k8.

A Gamer Weekend with boardwalk and all that jazz.

Long time since we had one anyway.

Seconded!

All in favor; say, "aye."

Regina, thank you for taking the time to reply. It's reassuring to know that the problem is receiving attention, since that was my purpose in posting this thread.

Gamer weekend would be nice, although by far I think I enjoy Costume Brawl the most and am sad that a weekend would probably just mean the standard fun of Rollerbeetle Racing, Dragon's Nest, and Dragon Arena. I'd live tho...<3 Dragon Arena too, although the rewards don't really compare to Costume Brawl or Snowball Arena. ^ ^ A Halloween Redux would be the ideal solution, I think, as I wouldn't mind a few more ToT bags in my inventory too. (The upcoming title balance has me motivated to get a move on finishing Treasure Hunter and Wisdom, and such an endeavor needs to be financed somehow.) Either way, I'll be interested to see what's decided.

Thanks Regina and team for noticing and hope something can be done to make the masses happy.
I know a lot planed the time to farm and whatnot being the lest busy day of the week
for many only to have the event end sooner but things do happen.
Maybe a weekend event of just tot drops or something and collector NPC but no Mad King appearance
as he went off as planed.

Extend the event by one day. Don't forget you ALSO short-changed us by conducting server updates during the event.

During the one day extension, lets have double ToT Bag drops, and double collector payouts. Finally, bring the Mad King back every 2 hours for the bonus day and while he's in town, apply the "Double Party Point" Aura that was available during Gaile's Farewell.

Joke Post? Don't bite the hand that feeds you, at least, not that much.

Though, if anything, I would like more Halloween event time. I was hoping to get some more ToT bags to help pay for the Obsidian Armor I want.

Carinae · Nov 03, 2008, 01:14 AM // 01:14

I demand nothing. It was a suggestion.

And what pray-tell would they lose by more than pleasing us???? I see nothing to be lost by doing this and a lot to be gained. I said to Gaile once that I was not going to be here by this winter, yet I still am, hopefully they can keep me till GW2 (if that is ever coming out). Doing what the above posted suggested may just do that...

crazybanshee · Nov 03, 2008, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Thanks for the update. How about an extended thanksgiving event, or whatever it was last year that dropped ciders and pumpkin pies. MMMMM pie.

Nothing really, it's just the way she originally worded it made it seem like it was a demand, that we in some way are more than deserving of it. I mean, mistakes have been made, but they're usually made up for in some way.

*cough - open the boardwalk - cough*.

Sorry, I'm a little ill.

Yeah.It is just the he/she is referring to the time Anet operates on which is now North American PST.

To Regina since it ended early why don't you give everyone on extra day of Wintersday.

But that is exactly my point!!! We already bought the game, we should not have to "demand" or "deserve" anything. It is in Anet's best interest to please us, NOT the other way around.
I feel like most of the community thinks that Anet is doing them a favor by providing the content that they paid for.

I dont want to complain much though, the events are considered extra, so I guess I should not say we paid for that. But at least get it done right, geez.
