Frequently Asked Questions



  • When will the event end?

    The event will last about 7 days. We're aiming to end the event on February 21st, (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 5 pairs of cards to play every 20 minutes, if you guess correctly.
    • Cash out and collect your winnings, or risk losing the pot by guessing incorrectly the next round...your choice!

    Note: In an effort to be kinder to the server we've reduced the frequency of Chance rounds a wee bit. To help offset this, we also lowered the event token price for the EIs (event rares). Thanks for your understanding!





  • 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.

    All commons are in the shop now!

    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.

    Special note: This event will only have four EIs instead of the usual five. This is due to time constraints and a lack of manpower.


  • 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.

Sorry Nephy, we're running around like crazies atm. Does this keep happening, or was it just the once? I'm trying to find where we talked about something like this happening in a previous event 'cause I can't remember if there was ever a resolution for it.

Hi guys! I'm really excited about this event 'cause the theme is awesome and the stickied threads all look fantastic. :D

But I've got some questions.

I don't get reducing the number of chance plays to 5 every 20 minutes. What would be the point of paying 5 tokens for additional rounds if all you can do is break even? :/

Also, the prices of the event commons don't seem any lower to me than they have been in the past. >.> Do you just mean the event rares will be cheaper?

Is chance supposed to be like that?
I don't think I did get my tokens on my mule account when it got to round 5, but I'm not completely sure about that. I wasn't paying that much attention. I thought I had 100 token before I hit collect.

Um, how do you play the chance game? I click on the chance game popup, and the Chance Cards screen shows up but I can't do anything with it other than close it.

It's just been once so far. Hopefully it's just a freak thing.

Jelly is only able to change a few things about the chance game without coding support, and I don't think that the "buy another round" cost is one of them. I'll leave her a note so she can confirm, though, when she's back online.

EI refers to just the rares, yes. Sorry about that. I'll add a couple words up yonder so that's more clear. :)

If you notice it happening again please do come back and post here so we can have a better idea of how frequent this is. I've been trying to duplicate it myself, but I keep losing.

What browser are you using, Arialys? Some work better than others with Chance. (Chrome and Firefox both work well, for me.)

Ah. I still think 10 is a better maximum number of rounds than 5, but it would still help to lower the cost of extra rounds to like 2 or 3. You're still probably going to get a bit more traffic on the server that way though. Betting 3 to try for 5 sounds a lot easier than betting 5 to try for 10, but that's just my opinion.

Haha OK. I was wondering if maybe I was misremembering what they used to cost. :P

Looks like I'm probably going to be posting more this event to make up for the tokens I won't be earning from chance. Which honestly is probably a good thing because I haven't been as active as I'd like to be, and with all these lovely threads posting more shouldn't be too hard. :)

Thank you, Belly!

"You may play 5 free rounds every 20 minutes or you could spend 5 event points to play right away without waiting. "
So... I can win max 5 tokens per game and for chance I have to spend 5 tokens so what's the point?
