Title: So...idea for Halloween.
Post by: Darinow on October 24, 2015, 11:13:17 pm
Alright, grab the torches and pitchforks guys.  So Hate and Akka have been doing some scrambling trying to get the server a hefty dose of act right before Halloween goes live so they don't have to listen to everyone cry throughout the whole event, oh..and because they enjoy giving us an enjoyable experience : P  But I find myself wondering if it would just be easier for all involved to push the event back to sometime next month,say around thanksgiving, which would take some of the pressure off of them to get this stomped out RIGHT NAO.  Aside from the irritation of having to wait longer it really isn't going to hurt anyone for halloween to not happen on halloween.  Just throwing this out there to see what people think.  Not sure if it would even make it to the consideration phase with akka/hate, but it seems like it would be better for all involved.  Good things come to those who wait etc etc.  And if the t10 release muddies up these waters, that could still be done on time and if nothing else disable DL for that zone when halloween event rolls in.  TBH with the lag wrecking everything/everyone as hard as it has been, i can't imagine folks getting much done in the "rape train has no brakes" zone anyways.

       Thoughts anyone?

I'm all for it, but there's going to be a lot of push-back from the folks that took off work all week specifically for the halloween event.  I can almost say for certain that it won't be postponed due to that fact.

 For me, as it stands, I'm not even going to be able to play the first couple days as I'm going to be out of town working.  I'm not fortunate enough to be able to take time off just to play a game, lol( :P ).

I totally get this.. as I am one of the people who took a bit of extra time off to play.  But at the same time, if those extra days are filled with nothing but frustration because I get on yet get nothing accomplished because of said issues i'd rather just kick back and enjoy my days off and deal with work+halloween later on when i'll actually be able to get more done : P

I took the week off too :) not just for this but it's on my agenda. If it's a rough go due to server issues maybe they could open it up another weekend after. This event has become a tradition and is probably the most fun I have online, don't push it back :).

This may happen. If we can't get something working. This is getting a bit out of hand.
