Disappointed Errolisi Event

Thuering · 02-17-2007, 06:15 AM

Due to my work I'm not at home during the whole week - sometimes even for longer. But this Friday managed to get home and was looking forward to the Errolisi Live Event. But then I realised that the Event was already over - only two days after Valentines Day. SMILEY

All the other Events like Halloween lasts much longer - Frostfell for example was live until January. They could have left Errolisi day online at least until the weekend. Oh, the tag-game is still online. But it doesn't work. You wait for over 1 hour that the race begins but then you get immediately the info that the race is over. *grmpf*

I saw the pictures of the Errolisi flowers in the froum - really nice. I wanted to decorate my house but now the only way to get some of these flowers is by paying 20 Gold or more on the broker. SMILEY

I'm really disappointed. Let's hope they bring back the flower sellers on next years Errolisi day (as they did with the goblin who sold the pumpkins on Halloween). Or maybe they implement new "recipes" for the crafters so they can "craft" the flowers during the whole year - as they did with the fireplaces after Frostfell.

I agree the they kinda miffed it this time. They really should include at least one weekend with any holiday live event.

Oh, and the rewards are going for anywhere from 6 to 24 PLATINUM on my server.

They did clearly post that Erollisi events would be ending on the 16th, so bravo for that.

I do agree however that any live event should include a weekend.

What I'm personally grumbling about however is that despite the post that it would end on the 16th, the house item merchants and Dalron were removed BEFORE the 16th. Yesterday the tag quest was still up, but the merchants and Dalron were gone already. This made me quite cross as I was decorating someone's house and had been planning to stop by and get them a few flowers yesterday before the event ended, and found they had been prematurely removed. I do think that if it's announced the events will end on the 16th, then the events should end on the 16th, ALL of them at the same time.

SMILEY Thumbs down on the premature merchant departure! SMILEY

I got lucky - the day before it ended I scooted onto my main and bought one of everything to see how it all looked. I was going to return and buy more of the ones I liked best, but the vendors were gone, to my chagrin. So at least I have one of everything... 2g each. To buy more, I have to pay at least 90g, the cheapest of any flower item on AB.

This kind of bit me in the [Removed for Content] not being able to participate cause of having a traveling job. I can say that its a minor issue. Just something else to add to the reasons why I will find another game to play.

In case you hadn't noticed, the Valentine's Day events actually started LAST THURSDAY. The event went from Thursday to yesterday, covering 8 days.

8 days vs what, 3 weeks for halloween and a month for frostfell?? That's insane

Exactly. They left other events way past due but cut Erollosi day incredibly short - people enjoy extra content, why take it away just because the RL holiday is over (especially since the lore behind it is different anyway)? It makes no sense.

One week did seem a bit short. I am not terribly dissapointed but i wonder why they chose to make the event last such a short time in comparison to other events.

It was so clearly posted that I never saw it even though I check these forums a bit. Combine that with the 80 minute time on the collection quest that they never fixed and this was a pretty sucky set of events. And it had such potential.
