Congratulations to everyone who won, and thank you so much for participating!

Here are some thoughts and improvements in regards to the event features we designed this season!

Our Autumn event was our first foray into a more forum based event run manually by staff.
In the future, our plan is to have one fully coded event feature with different mechanics per season (4 different types in total) with side activities such as creativity forum threads, seasonal quests, and various other site based mechanics to supplement the main event type!
Event Shop and Currency removal date will be staggered to be after other dates from the start to give everyone time to buy what they want before it closes.
Event shop items will be stationary rather than changing in order upon refresh/purchase.
"Currency" type item will be added to allow better inventory sorting.
Seasonal event quest will not have a repetition loophole after completion for future events in which you can get more snacks per day if you don't complete the seasonal quest right away. We'll make sure this experience is the same for everyone!

Our next more major event will be some time within the winter months, we'll update everyone with more info as we plan!

Magdalene and Irin wave goodbye to the autumn scenery
as winter approaches. Ombra retreats into the shade
of the forest, ready for slumber.
