Festival of Winter Nights Event FAQ
 
Frequently Asked Questions



  • When will the event end?

    The event will last about 10 days. We're aiming to end the event on January 2nd, (Hour TBA) Pacific Time


  • How do I participate in the event?

    The staff have prepared many wonderful contests and games for you, which can be found stickied at the top of the Event Forum. Links to each contest are also provided in the next post.


  • How do I earn event currency?

    You will gain some event currency for each post that you make in the forums during the event.

    Additionally, you might gain some more by playing the game of chance every 15 minutes. But it's a true game of chance: you may win big, or you may walk away empty-handed!

    Chance Game Info:
    • Aces are LOW - don't be caught off guard!
    • Up to 20 pairs of cards to play every 15 minutes, if you guess correctly.
    • Cash out and collect your winnings, or risk losing the pot by guessing incorrectly the next round...your choice!
    • You can buy additional plays with your event currency. Feeling brave?


  • What is event currency for?

    It's there for you to be able to gain Event Items (EIs), which are our event rares.

    If you participate enough and earn a lot of event currency, you could get some free commons too!


  • Are there event commons?

    Yes! Just head down to the Special Event Store.

    Please note: Commons are all in now! Thank you for being patient. :3

    Event commons will be available after the event ends. However, they will be moved out into the main stores and will retail for double their event price.


  • Are there event rares? How do I earn them?

    Yes! You'll be able to find them in the Special Event Store as they are released. They'll be on the back page.

    You can either buy them with gold or with event currency, the choice will be yours. However, you won't be able to use gold and event currency to partly pay for the same item.

    Please note: After the event, the rares will be removed from the shops and discontinued.



  • How much will a complete Event Items (rares) set cost?

    (TBD)



  • Why is the Sellback Store closed?

    The Sellback Store is closed during events to prevent people from selling back event items for a large gold gain.



  • Why is X taking so long this time?

    The Holidays are very busy for us as well, and though we've done our best to stagger our vacations & family time so that there's always someone "home," things might be a tad bit slower than usual on our end. Thank you in advance for your patience!

Ah, I hope we're allowed to post! *is very excited*
I'm also glad the tokens DID roll over from last event!

Ascadellia 12-23-2013 11:27 PM

It has begun! ! Yay!

sadrain 12-23-2013 11:28 PM

I can't believe I caught it starting! XD

PrincessKasumi 12-23-2013 11:31 PM

OMG :D first event I caught starting lol

sadrain 12-23-2013 11:38 PM

It's always exciting isn't it?

jellysundae 12-24-2013 12:07 AM

With regard to the commons. I'm going to go back and tag the ones that are already in the event store, then upload/tag/add each group of things. Rather than add the whole lot and go back and tag everything.

This process drives me absolutely nuts >< So breaking it up might maintain my sanity for a little bit longer. [insane]

sadrain 12-24-2013 12:10 AM

Try to take it easy, Jelly. We can wait a bit and we better prefer somewhat-sane jelly. xD

jellysundae 12-24-2013 12:15 AM

Not sure you've ever really seen that kind of jelly [ninja]

sadrain 12-24-2013 12:17 AM

[lol] I did say 'somewhat-sane'. ;) My expectations aren't that high. *gets snowballed in back* ...

Velvet 12-24-2013 12:50 AM

Poor Jelly.. [squee]
But, loving the look of the commons. Never fail to make them look great!

Pshaw, I think you were born without it [t2h]

jellysundae 12-24-2013 01:16 AM

Maybe you're so sure I have none, because you stole it!!
