Coo'....XD

I can't equip my Jack's Disgust mask. gonk

I am so insanely pissed off about this event.

I worked 11-7 yesterday and 3-9 today, EST. I was only home for -one- spurt of trick or treating, which was last night, when it was insanely glitchy and down half the time. By the time I got home from work, Gambino's mansion was half an hour from blowing up, so I didn't even have a chance to get any of the shirts or labtech coats.

*sigh*

I'm so upset. They did -not- make this event fair for people in all time zones. I'm going to be tired as hell at work tomorrow because I want to stay up and at least get some of the Jack items, if I can't have the G-Corp and Labtech stuff.

*sigh*

Gonna have to agree with you about the event not being fair, Traj. They should have made it night all day long and come up with a story to explain why, as well as doing the zombie thing.

It's not very fair to let your ability to get items be based on a 5-6 timeframe twice a day, as I seriously doubt most of Gaia's users are lazy unemployed bums like me who can be on for 18+ hours non stop. Thankfully even if I wasn't a LUB Gaia's nights are 5am-10am/5pm-10pm for those of us in the UK, which gives us a chance to get items even if we have school or work until 6pm. It's a shame the same isn't true for a lot of Gaia's population.

Gaia's creators need to be very careful about making events that favor a certain timeframe, especially if they ever plan to charge for some of the features or (*gulp*) the entire site once it's out of alpha/beta. If they aren't they'll certainly be missing out on a lot of potentional customers/members/ad revenue as people tend to not like being part of something if they aren't able to have the "special" items or be part of the events that everyone else can.

I don't think the admins gave a damn that some people couldn't participate because of time problems. In a reply by Noraboo to a thread titled 'WORST. EVENT. EVER.' which I can't find, I remember her saying 'Boo-hoo' (among other things, including locking the thread) about people complaining about not being able to participate. Given, the thread had a lot of anger in it, but if that's how they feel about Gaians who don't like everything they do, that's a load of bullshit. They should listen to the angry people so they won't be angry anymore, not say they deserve the big shaft; that will just piss them off more, like it did for me. Hell, I had to keep myself from giving "Ms. Noraboo-hoo" a big god damn piece of my mind via PM for awhile after reading that stressed

Myself, I had no real problems with time...I just stayed up to get what I needed in terms of the candy event (I've gotten all Jack items but the Shoes and Jack's Joy). It was the Zombie game that really pissed me off. I feel for the people that had the time issues, though...hopefully Halloween is extended into the next night period so people will at least get one more chance at this without the horrible lag the Zombie game was creating scream

Yeah, that might be a good idea. They *are* people, and all people will get angry from time to time, and therefore say things that might not be in the best of taste. However, when you're part of the 'staff' of something, you have to grin and bear it sometimes. Unless they're unreasonable morons, the people who are angry and complaining have good reasons for being that way, reasons which should be addressed.

So...who thinks we're going to see one more night of candy-collecting in about...2 or 3 hours?
