Right, that's it, I'm going to make a Ring scenario that explains all this weirdness in a Ryzom context :P

Seriously beginning to wonder what happened to the community's sense of humour.

It's a game and a bit of fun. Get real and get a life for gods sake!

Some people! :rolleyes:

I was in game when she announced in Universe why she was leaving game. I couldnt believe it.

Especially if she is a long time player. I think it was meant to be fun it was slaughter week and added pumpkins for a kick . it awesome to just sit and think how cool if it was cold to sit there. like a big heater or roast marshmallows at.

It is a shame that you would quit a game over something as trival as this, if you had been a way for a while a few more days of being out of game would not hurt. They will be gone soon enough.

Good luck in what ever other game you go to next and hope they do things you like better. Good thing we all are not alike or like the same thing.

I think it is great. and have enjoyed it.

Any Earth and Beyond players out there remember Halloween? I guess if your country/province doesn't celebrate Halloween you might wonder about pumpkins, but why complain about it and run away crying. Kinda ruins the holiday spirit for the overwhelming amount of people who do celebrate it.
I'm only mad I missed it :(

As far as I can tell, most of this has nothing to do with people not celebrating Halloween IRL, but more with a disturbance at the incongruity and unoriginality.

Would you prefer we made up our own original holiday and added in content for that? I got it, perhaps a day where players come on the forums and start neverending threads of complaint based on their own opinions. Oh wait, that was unoriginal. :/

Yes, of course. Something wrong with that? :)

Make one and see, I'm sure someone will have a problem with it.

First of all I would like to say goodbye to Tini, Be well, be happy!

Second, I would like to point out that what we are seeing are jack-o-lanterns - hollowed out pumpkins with a candle or light inside.

Third, I spoke with one of the devs. Seems they took a screen shot of Jyudas' head exploding when a brilliant thought finally entered it. That's what we're all seeing all around the lands, Neutrality Spreading Throughout Atys! (teases)
