Hey! My mothership raids rock! Besides, I announced my event (not just a mothership raid) approximately three weeks before this contest was announced. I'm thankful that Paragon Studios decided to move their costume contest to Virtue instead, as A Very Rikti Christmas is something I planned and have been working towards for a while. Four billion INF for prizes didn't come from nowhere, LOL.

Speaking of which, I hope to see a lot of people in the Exalted server Rikti War Zone tonight at 8 P.M. ET / 5 P.M. PT. I ran it last year on the Champion server, and it was a lot of fun.

I understand and appreciate that you want to include everyone, and we're making strides to include premium and free players in more ways, as you can see by the improved forum access, however we're going to continue to offer exclusive events and perks for our VIP players.

Why not hop servers? One time on Freedom, the next one will be on Virtue followed by the next event on Pinnacle and so forth?
Maybe make two events per month, but this way you are not forcing people o a server they don't want to go to. I have no problems waiting to bring my best toon to a CC, because this way, i can.

We get perks as VIPs.. time to give some perks to free and premium players too, see if they will stay alive longer than a DfB'd 50 in an Underground trail.

I like Gingerbread Girl.. but then again I made her. Not even a 'holiday' toon when I made her years ago, just more of a giggle.

I appreciate the shots of the winners. Since I didn't get a chance to participate, I like seeing who had the chops. Great costumes too.

Thing that gets me is the Events page was never updated? Instead it was in forums? And I hardly visit the forums. So spent hour's unlocking costume pieces for an event that didn't happen where it said it was going to happen? Why not just I don't know update the EVENTS PAGE?

PS: Dear Accounting, I have updated my subscription info...

I am almost the exact opposite. I have never visited the events page. I dont even know where it is.

The Events page is mainly for large, multiple-server events that run for a few days/weeks, such as Spring Fling, Halloween, and the Winter Event. For smaller events, like costume contests, we post to the main site, the forums, and social media.

Okay ... Holly Wood and Vine totally deserved to win this, with that costume!

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

I must say, I am sorry I missed it. I made a character for it (on Exalted), got him to lvl 12, used a xfer token to move him to Virtue, worked all day, totally forgot about it. So upset with myself. This is what I was going to enter. If I may post it. This is SN0WGL0BE


The winners look GREAT! It sure looked like tough competition. Congratz to the winners. Holly Wood and Vine is EPIC! Nicely done all.
