A big thanks to Astro for sending out in game messages about the gold ears yesterday. I think this whole VFK weekend has done Princess in. She was stressed to the max trying to get extras of things to give away because she knew with no communication friends would miss things. By last night, she was finished - literally. We were supposed to take her mom to the surgeon today, but instead ended up at our own doctor. She is resting now. I jokingly asked the doc for a "Pixie Port" and got a laugh from him when I explained what that meant. Who knows, maybe they need to make a chalk outline for all of us after the crazy weekend.
We did talk here about the need for better communication. It really did seem like at times they were just "winging it". Don't get me wrong, we are thankful for all of the time they spent on their own holiday weekend for us, but these things need to be spelled out on the homepage. Even just a clue about the ears - something like "Keep hunting those eggs because once you have found 4 golden ones, you may want to go someplace royal where a golden prize awaits you" or something like that.
I guess I will go pass a little gas on ma'am and sir to get 'em to talk.
Okay, so now I log on and find out they pulled the Egg Hunt. - shakes head -
I realize it was advertised Sunday and Monday...But, nobody told us about the additional Golden Egg either!
I have to agree with everything everyone has said here. I'm picking on you King, because I
loved your idea of VFK at least giving a clue as to the whereabouts of the last golden egg. I don't think that would have been too much to ask. They wouldn't have been giving everything away by giving us a simple clue!
Futhermore, it makes me believe that this Egg Hunt was not especially easy to do... Since VFK had to go around and not only fix stuck eggs, but also add dozens and dozens more to make getting those golden eggs easier!
I'm very sadened by the fact that I couldn't reach enough people by way of in game messages. By the time we all found out, it was sooooo late! I thought to myself, I'm trying to message people that I know will be on yet tonight. I tried to not make people upset, by getting a message that would have been to late for them to act on. Personally, I was wiped out as well. I apologize in advance to anyone that didn't get an in game message from me. I was not doing that intentionally. I just didn't want to make anyone upset by the message either, if I didn't think they would be in the game before closing time -- the message would have been pointless so we thought by that point. I'm so sorry. I feel really really bad for everyone that didn't get golden ears.
Boo VFK, this is making me sad and reminds me of the terrible VMK Quest.
