So did this happen?
People gathered in Commonlands from about 8:30 onwards.
9pm came and went, no sign of anything,
10pm came, Isulith appeared as a scare crow, gave out goodies, ran out and disappeared again.
30 mins later Isulith reappeared, more goodies, chatted a bit, then left.
No Bonfire, No fireworks, and quite a few unhappy people on the whole.
Partially true - as are most of the posts that seem to deride SOE on these forums.
Isulith was about 45 mins late to the scene - most likely due to confusion centering around our recent time change. When she did appear - as a scarecrow - she was mobbed. She then handed out a bunch of goodies and chatted with the folks around her. She eventually ran out of things to distribute - fireworks and other goodies - and had to go gather some more. She didn't just "disappear."
It also must be noted that some folks were criticizing both Isulith and SOE for not giving out unique house items and gear - in a rather forceful manner. I thought this was quite rude and incredibly uncalled for. There were fireworks - Isulith handed them out herself. As for the bonfire, it was too bad she couldn't roast the folks who were roasting her over things that were never promised in the first place.
All in all, it was a pretty nice event - aside from the attacks on Isulith. The only thing that did not happen was an "official" bonfire.
