I wouldn't be shocked after the way they were offered last year, but I don't recall seeing it anywhere. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Limited Edition is fine, but SEVEN DAYS is just silly short, if that is the case. Clarification on the availability is greatly desired.</p>

[Kamimura]

<p>Wow, 10 tokens, that's going to be a lot of grinding just to get one of each... :/</p><p><cite>Zuiya@Permafrost wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>Limited Edition is fine, but SEVEN DAYS is just silly short, if that is the case.

[Amnerys]

<p>Just got confirmation from the dev team that there are no plans to remove the paintings from the festival right away. They could go away at some point, I suppose, but for now they are planning to leave them be as the festival travels.</p>

Any chance we can make the ones from last year Guild Hall Placeable?</p>

[Xalmat]

<p>Excellent news.</p>

<p>I would like to add my name to the list of players wanting the old ones back. I got them last time, and made some stock except on my Test chars, but they were a one week only, high-priced type of thing and I would be glad to see them back, even for a short duration, with less restrictions than last time.</p>

From my understanding, the ones from last year were done differently because it was the 5th anniversary and the team wanted them to be very special and unique. At this time they have no plans to make them placeable in Guild Halls nor to bring them back for purchase. So we'll just have to sneak into the houses of those who have them if we want to admire the 2009 paintings. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Why does the festival look like a flea market?  I was looking around to make sure there was nothing more (there wasn't).</p><p>Someone obviously did a lot of work to make city-specific items but I don't know anyone that would consider 4 vendors-inna-tent a "festival" :p</p>

<p>no 5th year anni paintings? well, it make me very "Extremely" sad.</p><p>it is too time limited for 5th year, and got too many restrictions.</p><p>i guess it time for me to move on to other game since it got nothing else to offer and may not look forward to Destiny of Velious, it just another big let down.</p><p>Boo! Hisss! rotten tomato tossed.</p><p>i hope there is some way to get them as "5th Year Classic" reprints somehow.</p><p>maybe in different frames patterns to keep 5th year paintings as originals, so other frames and color retexture would stand them out noticeable. maybe in old school frames?</p><p>Please? come on! other players want them too, it seem highly in demand for them.</p><p>i still feel bitter since dec 2009, had few video cards replaced and PC mishaps before i was able to get them, lost several weeks for part replacements.</p><p>so i felt that my 2009's x-mas got skipped and my kids didnt make the trip to visit me for holiday at least minute changes due to weather. now i feel so bummed to hear this...</p><p>just missed by few days and got on Dec's patch update and they were gone and pulled out.</p>
