There will be another Ice Queen Event tonight at 7 PM server time.

I am testing some new tracking code that will allow me to run more events each day, but limit each players' individual loot for certain stuff to basically once per day. This will essentially give everyone a chance to participate at a time most convenient to them without flooding the economy with a bunch of items.

The only things that will ultimately be affected by this limitation will be the Festival Items awarded by defeating the Ice Queen herself and the amount of Completed Snowman earned through contribution points.

If you reached your daily limit, the Ice Queen can still drop the Festive Themed Pets and her Avatar Items and you will earn a maximum of 1 Completed Snowman per event from contribution points. Plus, all of the other rewards like Reindeer Themed chances and such will still be possible.

I will also be looking into a way for Perfumes to serve a purpose during the event since it was a common question last night, but it's a bit more tricky of an issue. At this point, they still don't offer any additional bonus other than their just usual usage.

Please dont let her drop frozen keys- anything but those.
...I have too many as it is, lol. Otherwise, it sounds great. Looking forward to more events :D Quite fun!

I mean, it's not like it hurts you for them to drop. =P

I am sure there are many players who don't have a plethora like some of you lol.

That is why there was a 6 hour limit though... to kinda put a "maximum" on it. The alternative would have been to strictly limit key drops. Just easier and I think much better to do it the way we did it.

I don't mind the key drops, I just wish they were tradeable. Then I could give my 20+ extras to someone who doesn't have time/luck enough to get keys every day lol.

I really like the idea of more events with a cap on certain rewards, though ^.^

But I'm not the only one with over 100, I'm sure. Its just...disheartening to see keys off bosses the way it is now..I could use more booster cards during the 6 hour time frame waiting for the temple. And even 6 hours is a bit much but...its better than nothing lol.


It may not hurt, but it sure is annoying. Since they also come off of the nutcrackers, and not tradeable. As much as players fight, they will stock up...and come next year, when melted tokens are handed out...thats going to be a lot of gold coming back into the game, lol.

I mean, just keep the keys off the event boss is all I'm asking for, the drop rates for them from all the rest of the mobs are okay, lol...if someone only gets a key off of her, Im thinking someone may not be all that happy for time spent killing. Not sure how the loot stuff will work atm, but..keep in mind ^-^

I kinda wish that the keys could be converted to something else this year like maybe tokens.

I have 0 keys and wish I could have more. They just don't drop for me.

No keys here! Krin has to allow for people who can't get on much as well as those who can.

Not trying to cause any sort of arguments or anything, but on the task list there is a way to get 2 keys daily. 1 by completing 5 snow wars games (any) and 1 by killing any named themed x6. So if you are able to kill bosses, kill 6 in a day there's a key. Do 5 snow wars games (I do the AI ones) and boom you have 2 keys even if they don't drop for you. I don't play as much as some on here and I have over 20 keys. RNG usually hates me so they drop more often than anything else, but i also do the daily tasks and get at least 2 a day that way. Just trying to help.

Well, as long as it's under the norm It's ok. I mean what can ya do right? RNG dose what it will.

Thanks for noticing. It constantly astounds me how helpful and willing to explain things to us you guys are. Seriously, You're the best admins I've ever seen. Especially considering Sylestia's growth. Most admins would start to ignore the masses.
