The short cut didn't work for me either...oh well  I did see a player "break out" almost even to wherethe cauldron is located.  She was "on foot"


Well that's a bummer!  :(

I do have to say there were MANY people complaining about others using fairy magic in the maze.  To that I say, it really helped many of us cut down on the frustration of being stuck in the maze and getting out a lot faster.  I don't think the lag had to do with the fairy magic, I think it had to do with the amount of people stuck in one room at one time.  Or, trying to force your computer to get your through the maze, when you couldn't.

Well for some strange reason I was able to do the wings route just walking rofl. I find this maze very frustrating because of the lag and trying to move my character. Though it is a reason to keep logging in so that is good :)

Just did this again and I walked the wing route just straight and it worked again. Still only credits through :(

I'm not sure where the idea of the "wing" route has come from, but just to encourage others to keep trying, I did my route AND Princess's "straight line route" last night AND this morning without wings.  It's not the wings that let's you go the shorter routes.  It's finding the exact spot where there are openings.  And it's a good thing because those 60 credits were just waiting for me today! grrrr  Anyone else saying, "No whammie, no whammies, cauldron!"?  (Doesn't work, btw! LOL)

I have not seen this posted anywhere.  I apologize if I missed it.

When we click on the cauldron at the end of the maze, there is a number that appears after the prize message.  I have heard many people wondering what this is.  I, too, wondered.  I have just figured it out.  It is the number of seconds since your last prize.  I thought it was time for me to get my next prize.  I got a message and at the bottom is says 3450.   So, I am about 2.5 minutes early.  When it hits 3600, I should be good to go.

 :wavet: Woot to the blue cauldrons! I can only hope tomorrow brings us pink cauldrons!  :dance2:

Also, Dreams is correct, I did the straight line route right through the maze just simply walking through. Maybe that will help those that crash to get to the end before crashing. Hugs and good luck everyone!

Well that's a bummer!  :(

I do have to say there were MANY people complaining about others using fairy magic in the maze.  To that I say, it really helped many of us cut down on the frustration of being stuck in the maze and getting out a lot faster.  I don't think the lag had to do with the fairy magic, I think it had to do with the amount of people stuck in one room at one time.  Or, trying to force your computer to get your through the maze, when you couldn't. 

Astro, using fairy magic may not be effecting you but it does other people. I can be in a room with one person using fairy magic, and than when a second comes in you can hear my computer start whining because it is speeding up so fast. Than a few minutes later I freeze up and have to reboot my computer.

 They should make the fairy magic wings not move, that rapid movement is what is effecting peoples computers. If you want to move fast and not effect everyone else, use the wolf magic please.

Gas, and that it may (affect others computers and not mine).

Quite honestly, I can't control my Wolf - it doesn't know how to walk anywhere I want, let alone the corn.  (Yes, I am being serious).  I never use the magic.  That is why Fairy is my preference, to hurry up and get out.

I am sorry if it's affecting others.  It's not my intent obviously.  I don't really notice a difference if I am the only fairy in the room.  Yes, I do notice a difference when there are multiple fairies in the room (I'm not just talking the maze either - ANY room).  So, it's not just my computer.  But I also am not one to hang out in the maze room either.  I get in, get out, and get on with life.

I learned later today that you can just walk through just as fast as using the fairy magic now anyway, so I'm not using it anymore.

If I want to place blame anywhere though.. I will blame VFK.  Don't make a magic if it is causing game problems for player's computers, and we're not allowed to use it.  Release it, when we can use it then.  It's like showing a mouse a piece of cheese that they can't have.   ;)
