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

[hyjin]

[Alpha]

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;

[Squiggles]

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

[Alpha]

That sounds about right.

[Squiggles]

Prepare for the worst, am I right?

[Alchemy]

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

[hyjin]

I just want the event to start...

[Alchemy]

-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.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

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

[Fenris]

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.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

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

[Alchemy]

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!
