Chewett

The following items are available to bid on with your hard earned plushies from the 17th birthday. The plushie auction will be run like a standard auction, 14 days minimum time on auction, it finishes 7 days after the last bid on any item. (So the auction will keep running and all items will be open until all items have had a bid older than 7 days) Your bids do not have to be purely based on our own number of plushies, You are permitted to "group up", The only requirement is that if you make a bid you must state whose plushies they are, if they are a grouped contribution. E.g. 20 from me, 20 from Eara. If there are any questions ask! Failure to have the correct number of plushies will result in being banned from all entries on this auction, and potentially future ones. Please bid carefully. Item 1 – 2 Use Kill item Item 2 – 9th Anni creature Item 3 – 11th Anni creature Item 4 – 13th Anni creature Item 5 – 15th Anni creature Item 6 – A Wishpoint But Chew, a Wishpoint needs to be earned, why are you auctioning one? Well its quite simple, earning a shedload of plushies is worth a wishpoint, that’s logic! Item 7 – 500 shards on any creature of your choice (This cannot be split across multiple creature types) Item 8 – Reindrach (full tokening available) ID: 605420 Age: 4583 Item 9 – Rustgold Drachorn (full tokening available) ID: 485146 Age: 4818 Item 10 – Shade Horseman aka Horseman aka rider aka CID 22 (full tokening available) ID: 696293 Age: 4217 Item 11 – Full tokening of 5 creatures (These must be your creatures) Item 12 – Tainted Angien (full tokening available) ID: 810350 Age: 3279 * All creatures listed above with (full tokening available) are eligible for free FULL tokening (or tokening based on your requirements) Note: As the auction progresses I may start setting minimum bid increments to speed up the auction. Good Luck!

plushies distributed, thanks!

I am quite late replying top this but: I think you missed this, but Handy and Myself were working towards getting a team of MB people together to get this. She had some problems with the forum (which I think she still does) and wasn't able to bring the people together she wanted. But I do know her, Mag, and a few others have worked it out mostly and Handy was doing good work to try and draw a team together. But it was secret Marind Bell stuff and you were not informed. Would you like to be informed in the future?

Bump @Eagle Eye

Hi @Aia del Mana has this been dealt with?

Anything Kyphis?

Thanks Fyrd, both of these issues should be fixed.

Do you have the item ID for this please, I will have a look to see whats going on.

Hi Fyrd, I'm not clear what you are saying here. Are you saying that you think its working and no change is needed, or that it needs to print out a 0 somewhere? Could you clarify this please so I may work on it if there is an issue.

To me thats not really a big cost but I will listen out for ideas regarding this.

Creatures have been returned to me thank you. Now I will be able to work on marking creatures as no-sacrifice manually.

Without there being significant cost, very limited usage, etc. I will veto this immediately. The AP to move around should be designed and all new teleporting/flying should be balanced against this.

What if the creature was recruited and then shards added, so you make the "core" and then shards add the rest?

This should be fixed, can you confirm Fyrd?

If they are used on the mainland then you are going to be unable to fight them unless which will be a shame for you any quest/etc using them would be inaccessible for you.

I don't think that should be set up to be used for newbies. I think they are there for use elsewhere and just "live" there.

Thanks Fyrd, that makes sense, but its wrong.

@Muratus del Mur the new coins are marked as "unique" but the old ones aren't.

According to the game you have 118 silver coins. Can you show me an image, I'm not clear.

Mur has made a coin and note exchanger and therefore these services are no longer needed. I would note that this now changes the original request from him not to make automatic services changing coin and notes (which is why one was never made before) so please ignore those comments made relating to the forbidding of such a service.

I would give you 5 for thinking of that as a request but I don’t think that (or gathering skills) would be appropriate

Do you have any statistical methods you suggest to run on it or shall I run some standard grouping algorithms?

The anni please Aia

If anyone has any questions or comments relating to this, please feel free to post below or ask me directly.

Below is the summarized set of responses from people, I have tweaked the wording and merged some to simplify the responses. Responses for What would you change about the event and why (+5 plushies) =============================================================== Generally people have commented that Chewett should have more help, and do less Note by Chew: Lol Some suggested making the celebration shorter than 17 days, some suggested making it longer. Some also commented it should happen more frequently One comment was relating to being able to get medals without attending the Awards Ceremony Note by Chew: As discussed with Mur, this is by design and we were present for multiple days and timezones Some people disliked the plushie rain, some people really liked it Note by Chew: This probably sits in the right spot, but further opinions are welcome People really liked the A25 mist/rain events and wanted more People suggested adding a leaderboard for plushies Note by Chew: This sounds like a nice little idea Generally people wanted more group/story type events, and land type events where collobration is key Lots of very positive comments here (saying they wouldn't change anything) Responses for What do you think worked well about the event and why (+5 plushies) =============================================================== The daily scene location was great, lots of really positive comments Mist events where highly rated by many people (many of the responses mentioned it) Seeing locked scenes and old friends was highly rated by many Contacting old players to see how they are/drawing them back Note by Chew: We need to improve this going forward so its not me manually messaging people! Responses for What other ideas could you suggest to make next year's celebration even better? (+5 plushies) =============================================================== More group party games Digging up old history Cooking quests More mist co-op events (lots of comments about this), people really liked the "changing realm" stuff New player friendly events like the Easter Egg Hunt Note by Chew: This should run yearly, Many thanks @Fyrd Argentus Having a more clear daily host would be ideal Note by Chew: I want to move back towards having "day hosts" and giving them a lot more powers but this year I was more busy with Life. Contacting old players again, marketing emails, etc Note by Chew: I did a lot of this myself, but we need to improve this for next year as it takes masses of my time Plan some official "Realm changing" events like the mist. Note by Chew: I plan to do these kind of things more and more now, the Mist event is a good example and I hope to finish this shortly Responses for What other events would you want run during the birthday? (+5 plushies) =============================================================== Lots of comments about more mist type lore events Some ideas about giving players usable items such as shovels/etc, and special items and gifts Simple quests that give small rewards (such as plushies) Lots of comments about cooperative land events (lots of comments about mist/group type events) More MDScript events Trivia/puzzle quests Responses for Any other comments about the event (+5 plushies) =============================================================== Plushies raining down had lots of positive comments, and people really liked the increase later on Lots of different events was generally favourable Someone wanted more quests, and suggested the reason people weren't running quests was because they didn't know what was allowed Note by Chew: Anything really, just message me next time There was a comment that the birthday was "hard to do from the US". Note by Chew: I don't really know what this means because typically we run events in good EU/US timezones. I think generally we have issues with people in GMT+8 -> GMT+14. Whoever said this can you message me if you want to explain further please Lots of good comments about the work of the GM's, quest makers, and A25 team.
