Twelve days of Christmas

I love this idea and I am having great fun with it. But, I have a request, especially for people who don't play everyday. Or, like my son who is autistic. He really wanted those Christmas lights. He didn't play the game that day and missed it. Could you maybe repeat the promotion again? TY. Also, I loved that nightmare pack. Seriously, I don't really want to wait a year for either promotion. Could KI run the promotions at other times of the year? We could have Christmas in July. Halloween in April. Or whatever. Trust me, was ready to spend those crowns for the Nightmare mount, etc. Thanks KI for listening.

Well, I think the seasonal stuff should indeed be limited to their respective seasons. There's nothing quite as depressing as getting what you expect to be rare season-themed gear to run around with in the middle of the summer, only to find that the game in question does a "Christmas In Summer!" stint that ends up with everyone and their grandma having the exact same snowball cannon you hid away for half a year! (me? bitter about that little trickery on the part of an ex-game of mine? nonsense)

That said, though, I missed the christmas lights as well. But let's hope that we get something else to sink our greedy claws into. Or, perhaps, add it to the crown shoppe so those who failed to get the free stuff can still purchase the lights? :-D

Hey, I know what you mean. Personally allot of great deals that have happened in the past i've missed a bunch. But, personally, I think its just a matter of how much you play and don't play. Considering i'm a MAJOR geek with this game (lol) I play tons. But, its just a matter of how much news you keep track of on the game. Realize if they made more deals or free promotion days such as those lights you were talking about... then it wouldn't be special, now would it? :) I say the way KI is running their promotions is fine, but its all opinion based. Happy holidays y'all :)

Hooray! Decorations and a tree in the crown shop, Ty KI! :D But I can't use the wall wreath, it won't go anywhere. Anyone else having this happen?

Also there is mention of decorations purchasable with gold, but i didn't see these in the crown shop, I only saw crown items there. Anyone know where more holiday tidbits can be bought using gold?

~~~ Cheers and Happy Holidays! ~~~

The Christmas lights are now in the crown shop and can be purchased with either crowns or gold. :D

Thank you Santa Wizard! The Holiday Wreath is working now! And thank you for the reply, I see the Gold tab option in the Crown shop.

Maybe on the very last day of the 12 days, they could re-offer all of the free things they were giving away... on December 21st....

I have seen several posts that say some of the christmas items in the crown shop can be bought with gold or crowns. But when I go to look at the itmes in the crown shop everything being sold you can only buy with crowns. Am I missing something, is there a special shop that you can go to and purchase the items, cause if you are suppose to be able to get them from the crown shop for gold or crowns then guess I wont be able to get any of them as it only shows everything is avaliable for crowns only :(

It would be utterly fantastic if the Pegasus mounts were dye-able (like the hounds - just the trim color) so we could make them match our outfits no matter what school. :)

Click on the 'gold' tab to the right where the preview of each item is. All the decorations can be purchased with gold.

I think that is a good idea.

KI, money making opportunity screaming in your face! I know you love the money! After all, the world and it's people could not exist if it were not for loads and loads and loads of money.

You have multiple color variations of the same mounts in the crown shop.
I understand that enabling those mounts to be dyed would quite possibly make you not make as much money as you could.

Here is a suggestion.

Make the TRIM of each colored mount dyable. As in, the base color won't ever change, but you can make it so players can choose TRIM color. Here is your favorite part, the part where you can make that ever so important money.

Charge CROWNS for trim dyes. 500 crowns to change trim color. Base color will always stay the same, but trim can be dyed. See? You'll be meeting players at least half-way with what players would want, and with what you guys want. Money.

FYI - for next year

The 12 Days of Christmas traditionally begin on December 26th and continue with a gift a day until January 6th - Epiphany - when the wise Magi presented priceless gifts to the Christ child. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! May your spells never fizzle!

Yes thank you, we know, which is why these were the 12 (make that 13!) days of Wizard, not Christmas. We celebrate Yuletide in the Spiral.
