My overall feelings for the Winter event.
-On a Side Note-
At first i was sad to hear we wouldn't be getting a Christmas Event, but the MI's that were Christmas themed was fun, simple, and very nice items (though they only came in one color)
Winter Event Part 1
At first i really didn't mind the gold sink, it was very reasonable. The event seemed bland at first since you really didn't have to do anything aside from post. The items were all nice and the story seemed very well thought out and it was ENJOYABLE! I do wish we still got the ball :P
Winter Event Part 2
This wrapped up the not so exciting beginning, after all the hard work it was very much so worth it. FIVE GOLD STARS here. It was very creative, the story line and all, i very much enjoyed it. I do wish there was more time between attacks, and that it wasn't so long. It took a lot of time being on ernya (which most of us do anyway i'm sure) but for others that had other important things to do had to struggle. (But what fun is things that are easy as 1 2 3?) I am very happy to see the NPC's to have a part of something either then saying a story or holding a shop open. The Pot give away was very helpful to many users that took advantage to it i'm sure.
Event Items All Together
There was LOADS, and everyone loves lots of event items. Looking back at the older events like the Halloween 09 (or any really big event set), i wondered if we would ever get a set big like those. I am very happy to say i'm glad we got a very big handful of items for this event for all the hard work and fun we had. I can't wait for another event like this one with less battling so often and i'm sure many others would too.
Prizes
I am very glad to hear that the top 50 get any EI they wanted, i think it's great and wonderful! This is why i love Ernya, always thinking about the users and not just making money. Kudos to Ernya for all her hard work, i'm sure running all this and giving away pots oh so very often was a lot of work but very much so worth it.
OVERALL
i give this event 4 1/2 GOLD STARS for creativity, activity needed, and story line. This is one of my favorite events that i've been apart of.
