Advent Calender 2014 - Day 20

[Nira]

Oh, my absolute favorite event is probably the letter to the Gift Giver from our IC characters! It's fun to get in their heads a bit and find out what they wana have for themselves.

Hmm... I'm afraid my least favorite has to be the presents. Two main reasons. The first being that it was forcible time consuming, which isn't the most awesome thing when you're on a time fuse. The other is that it required old threads to be edited. I've very sentimental, seeing older threads being modified, even if it was just to add a picture for a bit, is kinda heartbreaking. I like the past to be preserved, ya'know?

Bloodlimit revamp! Turns out I need it, who knew?
All these luxury baths aren't too shabby, either.

I wish this was a yearly thing, but maybe have a team help you next time. I know you've been pretty strict with the update-at-midnight code and all that jazz, but a team could alleviate so much of the stress.

[~Emi~]

1) What was your Favorite day and Why?
2) What was your LEAST Favorite day and Why? (Don't think you'll hurt my feelings here or anything. I want to hear it!)
3) What was your overall favorite Prize and why?
4) Anything else you can give to me! What would you have done differently? Were you overall satisfied with the whole event? Would you participate in this again if it came up? (NOTE: This likely won't come up again. It was hard enough coming up with all these ideas for one time around) What prizes would you have rather seen in this? Anything at all would be fine to put in this category. I just want to hear your overall thoughts

1. I liked the snowball throwing event the most as it was just so fun using ones own points to decrease others while imagining a snowball flying through the air.

2.well, the present day was my least favorite as I stressed like crazy searching through the whole site while not having basically any time over to actually do it properly, and when I thought i wouldnt even count as a partipant, i just got sad.. I was hoping to be in all 24 after all :/

3. My favorite price was the special book i received. Its something ive thought of getting for a long time, but feared the amount of attempts itd require with my bad luck.

4. Well, it was only 2 things I disliked with the event, and that was because several ones were really time-consuming and even though most members have time, several others really have to struggle to even reach a partipation level. The second thing is what I mentioned in my complaints thread, due to 2 of the prices being item upgrades, the coolness level of having a masterworked item drop with 95%, making artisans a lot less interesting when they need so much time to do the same kind of item. The tp dip of a useful artisan just got their posts needed to make something special from 20 to 60-70. Maybe its only because im currently the only artisan on the site right now.... But please dont use those as prizes again :/

I loved the event apart from those 2 things. It was fun, creative we learned more about each others and i think most of us got a few things our character or accounts needed

[Gift Giver]

Thank you all!

Thank you so much for all the feedback and letting me know what you liked and didn't like. As I said, I doubt I'll be doing this event again, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't help with any contests or events throughout the year! Now then... The prize for this is based off of what you answered. There are some that might not quite make as much sense. Some mentioned books, so I gave Ryo to help buy new books. Then there was someone who mentioned Augments and weapon upgrades, so I just gave Ryo for that. But it was more or less based off of what you said your favorite prizes were!
