Camwen has yet to provide us with her typical links to the event bounty, but from what I am seeing, there isn't anything worth going for? A cap, a tub, a stupid doll, and some wings that look awful?

They seem to have shut it down. Even removed the announcement of it's starting.

So that makes the 6th event in a row where Gaia has started an event just to have it error and collapse horribly? You'd think that maybe they'd test these things better before starting.

In the end, it's just too hard to simulate 300,000 people trying to use one brand-new feature all at once on god-only-knows how many different versions of god-only-knows how many different combinations of operating systems and browsers. They just have to release it at some point, and take it from there.

True, but I am just commenting on how it seems so much more persitent now as opposed to 2 years ago.

Well, the events used to be a bit simpler back then. And still they had plenty of problems, just not as many crashing problems. I still remember everyone BUT Gino showing up during the ball, and having my avatar switched out for some green-haired chick.

The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
The economy is so bad I ordered a burger at McDonalds and the kid behind the counter asked, “Can you afford fries with that?”
The economy is so bad that CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.
The economy is so bad if the bank returns your check marked “Insufficient Funds,” you call them and ask if they meant you or them.
The economy is so bad Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.
The economy is so bad McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer.
The economy is so bad parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children’s names.
The economy is so bad a truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.
The economy is so bad Motel Six won’t leave the light on anymore.
The economy is so bad Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

Exxos Now I feel bad for mentioning it. I'm sorry - I didn't mean to make you feel bad. It was already something I thought about before. The conversation just reminded me. I never got the announcement for the new event - I'll have to see if there's a link to the stuff somewhere... @Exxos - the economy jokes were good - thanks for the laugh rofl Edit: Ok here's the link for the event items. As far as I can tell the event is NOT back up yet despite what it says on the thread. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-community-discussion/2k9-christmas-event-item-list/t.57054651/

I want that cape somewhat, but the rest of those items are atrocious.

The cape IS pretty neat. Goes well with the "Dr. Hobo" outfit.

I want the tub just because I like any item that changes how your avi is positioned/situated. Though I still think it's a rather atrocious compilation of items thus far.. hopefully they have more than that to give away.

The event is supposedly down, when it is up. The event is supposedly up, when it is down. I can access it during the entire time and saw no down time. Yet everyone was responding that they were missing items when playing during that time. All these little goits keep screaming about how 50 gets you the tub, screw the tub, we get the point, what about all the other items?
This event also makes me think of that hot'n'cold song by katy perry.

Only took me having to sift through about 900 pages of those that lie outside our AGA citadel... I think I lost 8,000 points off my IQ. Mookyul Eun Edit: Oh, just got my tarp at 50 gingerbread. ^^ Edit x2: You get an overseer's tub at 50 items...
