Celebrate the upcoming long weekend of July 1st to 4th with a massive Marketplace sale and in-game fireworks festival!

Cyliena · 07-01-2011, 11:39 AM

Post-patch there's still no sparkler on the Marketplace nor nothing going on in the cities. SMILEY

GussJr · 07-01-2011, 11:44 AM

Well the Gorowyn City Festival is going on, but this is something different. Though I've been told that the Gorowyn aether race is broken. =

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it burns!!!!!!

Really though, I'm at least hoping I have enough time to go to the store and not miss the chance of discos. SMILEY

wullailhuit · 07-01-2011, 01:29 PM

Any ETA on this?

Ashlanne · 07-01-2011, 01:38 PM

The event has not started yet... We will post in this thread when we have confirmation that it is live.

Thanks so much for your patience.

Why is the spacing all jacked up on the pricing sheet on the link?

Also, rumor had it, this was a X2 XP weekend. True or False?

The Marketplace Sale will start at 10 AM Pacific Time!

idabr · 07-01-2011, 02:02 PM

Can we skip all this..junk...and just give us double xp? It would make so many more people so much happier.

Hirofortis · 07-01-2011, 02:04 PM

Just wish that SOE would have given some xp bonus with this. Don't care about the marketplace.

mmkay, bonus xp whine thread is here, please don't take this off topic.

Ashlanne: about 10:15am PDT and I'm not seeing the sale prices in the Marketplace still, was there another delay?

wullailhuit · 07-01-2011, 02:38 PM

Fireworks...where are our FIREWORKS!!!

Amnerys · 07-01-2011, 02:44 PM

Sounds like we've got some gears jamming up the system. I'm inclined to blame the gnomes, but I can't say for certain. Stay tuned. I'll pop by and post when it's ready to go. SMILEY

And the redNames are ignoring it outright without saying either Yes OR No on the issue. People want a REAL event, and that is Double XP for the July4th weekend like HAS BEEN done for the past 3-ish years straight.

I don't mean to be rude, but we don't care about this "sparkler" event or the worthless gimick of Market 25%. EQ1 is getting double xp and a whole hell of a lot more than us!!!

AnswerUsPlease

Mandaline · 07-01-2011, 03:04 PM

I am disapointed too by the lack of double XP event but the fireworks are cool (according to the vids), thanks for these.

Some of us want sparklers. Don't speak for everyone.

idabr · 07-01-2011, 03:12 PM

And most of us want an event thats going to take longer then an hour or two to complete and forget about.

Domino · 07-01-2011, 04:44 PM

The fireworks are now available and the sale is started also, so grab your sparkler and go wild! SMILEY

Asre · 07-01-2011, 04:49 PM

So I guess thats a no to x2 xp?

idabr · 07-01-2011, 05:13 PM

Doesnt look like it. Apparently what we actually want doesnt matter.

Soresha · 07-01-2011, 05:18 PM

Fireworks are cool. SMILEY

And you should bring this back for 5th November too, with added bonfires. Not all of us set off fireworks on the 4th July. SMILEY

That's a good suggestion we'll have to discuss. And some of us set them off on the 1st ... happy Canada Day too SMILEY

Domino, you are cool and player focused. Why are you guys ignoring our calls for a double xp weekend? I might even celebrate with an in-game sparkler if you were to turn on the bonus xp!
