1. The maps, music, and weather are coming this week. Its been someone of a battle to get what we can. The problem is many of the core maps such as prontera, izlude, and alberta keep on changing with episodic updates. But they don't deliver the christmas event with them which causes us to have issues where the christmas map is different than the normal map in the world. NPcs end up out of place, portals in weird areas. Its quite a mess to clean up. We managed to get the latest versions of Izlude and Alberta as well as the old christmas maps for Aldebaran, Geffen, and Prontera Church prepared. Prontera it self no one can find a christmas map for because late in the 16.2-17.1 era kRO switched back to old prontera.1. "Overall I would say this event structure was interesting"
Not sure if you're aware of such complain but I hope you'll do a better X'mas event because
You even forgot to put on X'mas songs and snow effect, Camp.
2. "Options that were set to rarer seem to be sighted by players more than intended"
I already post before that it is very easy to pull out Gioia. I dont know why you're going to look into it just now when Gioia ha already been dupped.
3. "As a note cries of 'favoritism' are not constructive feedback."
Any reason why not every MvP in the event? Where and when did you get the poll of "highly desired" from?
4. "Since we got the reports of the card being available from certain bad individuals we have prepared everything to check for new instances of the card every week and remove them."
I'm not a pro programmer but as far as my common sense tells me, you can remove all dupped Gioias as many as you can but the duppers can continue duping it because they already got the information needed to dupe the card. I hope I'm wrong.
2. The event has nothing to do with an item being duplicated. If gold sellers were going to duplicate an item they were going to do it regardless of if we had an event or not once they got their hands on it.
3. Player discussions regarding the MVP summoner event instance over the years. We weren't really comfortable with that particular event structure though because players were able to dial in an MVP 100% of the time rather than having to deal with a randomized spawn. That is why the CLAB structure was selected.
4. It removes the reward for purchasing it from the RMTers. Plus we ban accounts that associate with the bad behavior, further penalizing people who associate with bad behavior so not only will they lose their money they will lose their accounts.
