6/16 Scavenger hunt start in Pirate Battle Ship
« on: June 16, 2009, 06:29 PM »
Start is in Space Age, Pirate Ship, the party room. There's a balloon there.

You have discovered our next Anniversary Scavenger Hunt, for a Golden Pickaxe!
If you find all of the items in the hunt, you will receive a Golden Pickaxe, and 1,000 credits.


To get to the Pirate ship that is a party room instead of the Pirate Battle game, take the ramp that is on the screen right from the dock. The marque message will say party room.



EDIT:  Adding picture of prize.

Golden Pickaxe & 1,000 credits

I am extremely upset with this hunt! They has stated and I quote Enigma that the hunts will be weekly! I did not even finish my people as I thought I had time and now this?


I do not have words to even say. :bm:

Well, this one is for gold item - so maybe gold items will be weekly.  

The flowers may have been an "extra bonus" for flag day  :??:  Sorry Pix  :bighug:

Sorry, still not a rocket for Flame - but it is getting closer 'item wise' in a way.  :waveh:

Aww Pix :(   :bighug:  This is a whole new wrinkle in the 'gold item'/'gold status'/'scavenger hunt' dilemma.  Again...communication breakdown. 

(huge Flame hugs)

This hunt is EXTREMELY tough.  I finished without help, but a few of the items were ridiculously hard to find.  A fair bit of traveling as well.  And the reward...while not a shrub...isn't something that delighted me...to say the least. 

Ah well.  GL all with the quest.  It's no picnic.

Flamanar...still thinking 'rocket'...:)

well, actually they said they would be about once a week, but they didn't say they would last a week to do. sigh.  I originally thought that would be one day once a week. And then when the prize was a Flag day thing, I was kinda surprised it lasted longer than just that day.

sigh, why can't they just set up a daily news bulletin on the main page. And actually use it to say when things start and when they end.

Aww Pix  :'(

I don't do all my spares for these hunts or quests anymore - only a few- I find I can do 2 at a time in different windows easily (single player mode)

Thanks Golden for letting us know a new Hunt was on!   :hug:   Updated first post with a prize pic.

Hugs Pix.   :hug:

I honestly don't even know what to think anymore with these Hunts.   :??:   I'm about as confused as ever, especially since there is zero communication from VFK.

Still confused about a pickaxe as a prize   :??:    Beggers can't be choosers I guess, but a pickaxe??  Really?  That isn't something I would want "gold-plated"   :??:

I officially title this hunt the "Pain in the Axe Hunt".  Sorry...had to say it. ;)

Golden, if you look on...other areas of the internet...you'll see I've been harping on your last thought there since almost day 1.  Takes a few minutes to update an informational webpage.  I'd even volunteer to do it for them.  Never has made sense to me why they still don't do it.  A little time for a LOT less grief all around.   :??:

Flamanar...a year later and the same lack of communication continues...no excuse for that... :uhuh2:

...on a different note, I've been experiencing SERIOUS lag issues with VFK tonight.  Normally, lag isn't a big issue for me.  Tonight I'm playing in single-player mode, and the loading screens are sometimes loading for a few MINUTES?  Black screens frequently instead of rooms loading?  Sometimes the loading screen hanging?  Having to click on items a few times before anything happens?  One character right now I can't get into Victorian Age with!  Having problems even getting onto game.

Not sure what to think of all this... :hitwall:

Well, I had a strange experience tonight! I was booted to my room! Twice! I sent message in, wanting to know why I was booted and what had I done as I had not spoken to anyone nor had done anything. I talked with staff and they said that none of the staff booted me to my room and staff personally checked the logs! Seems bad night for Pixie..... :'(

Aww poor Pix :(  It does sound like a bad night for you.  :'(  Hope it turns around for you. :bighug:

I've just finished doing HALF of my 'family members'.  Should have been done them an hour and a half ago.  Lag has been astonishing/ridiculous/abominable.  The rest will have to wait till tomorrow.  Sigh...

Hang in there everyone.  :grouphug2:

Well I wasn't in single-user mode, but I did notice lag was terrible.  Even just to log into the game took forever it seemed.  I am glad to hear it wasn't only me though.

Ok what is up with VFK starting the hunt so late. This is ridiculous what about the kids on the eastern time zone that were in bed by the time people had a clue it was on. I sure hope it is on tonight grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I even missed it last night because I figure by 9:00 there should be no hunt!!!!!
