I wanted to reach at least 1k Rations and 500 Waters...but I'm no where near 500...I'm just barely over 200...

I'm getting close to that with both of them.

Actually ..... it makes me kind of want to give up and see if I can accomplish something on another site since I don't have a chance at getting event items here. :(

Don't say that. Never give up. There is always a chance. There will likely be sellers, and until then just keep posting to build up as many rations and waters as possible.

We haven't even seen how everything will unravel yet, don't give up before it starts, love!

There are already buyers for event currency.

Yep! People are offering trades for them as well.

The items will be fairly priced, you guys. Just because a few people have more than 100 waters doesn't mean an item cost 100 waters. It should be reasonable for most people to be able to get a set fairly easily. Don't forget the contests and games that Coda mentioned, too!

True enough. I am hoping it al keeps things fresh.

yeah i know... a lot of things will be pricy...

Not quite pricey if you look at costs for items from previous events.

Aw, don't think like that, esp since you don't know the prices yet, and you've seem to have gathered a lot?

Just how much do you guys think the event items are going to cost? O.o;

Erm... a crapton? Y'know, just as par for the course.

That sounds about right.

Prepare for the worst, am I right?

The coolest, biggest bundles are always really pricey. ... So I'm on my mule gathering as many as possible o3o

I just want the event to start...

-shrug- I do too, but then some people would have practically no event currency. I think they're just trying to give everyone a fair chance to gather as much as they can.

Yeah. I'm thinking there will be bundles costing 100 waters, so I'm thinking of making a mule very soon.

That sounds unfair. I have already stated the prices will be based on what the average user could collect. That means that nothing will cost 100 waters. That would just be a ridiculous price.

That is good to know that they won't be that expensive. <3

Event items in the past have been I believe anywhere from 5-50 currency, with the non-bundle, few-poses items being 5-10 and the cool bundles would have been 30-50. ... If I'm remembering right. But in those events, you could keep getting currency easily. So they'll probably be lower this event. (I know nothing, I'm just guessing). o3o;

We try to make sure that it's possible for a reasonably-active user to collect a full set in every event. We set the prices according to what a user who can't be active all the time could actually afford. This is one of the non-story reasons we try to make collection get harder as you progress; we don't want to make it totally unbalanced by letting a couple of super-active users ruin the economy for everyone but we also don't want to be unfair to those super-active users by just shutting them down entirely. (After all, we want to reward users for being active, not punish them!)

So please, don't be discouraged because you feel like you have low numbers compared to other people. We honestly take into account that not everyone can be as active as our high-number users and we balance things for the typical user, not the exceptional one.

But but but 500 waters goal!

I might just get it if it isn't implemented until next week or later.

500 waters. That goal is quite...daunting, to say the least. *will be content with his current count*

I am hoping I get to that point. There is only one person that I know of who has it so far.

Is it that hard?

Once you get to a certain point, it gets hard. Ratio is about 1 water to every 3 rations (give or take) throughout it all, but you get it less often.

Oh, so it's another one of the currencies that's affected by post-count?

Yep yep. *tries to steal scarf to lay with*

Not the post count, but the amount of event currency that you already have. The more of it you have, the less often you get it from posts.

Okay.

You realize, the scarf is tied around my neck. *chokes*

Oooops.... *gives back air supply*

Thank you -___- I suppose I could untie the scarf ad then give it to you.

There you go trying to use logic.....what is it with people and logic today?

The suspense... i am kind of close to my 300 water goal.

Margh! Only 53 more and I will have 500!

Post like the wind alpha

Indeed I shall! *runs off to post*
