Why the Pumpkins?

[blaah]

Christmastrees and Eastereggs also don´t exist.

how can you be so sure ? only 5% atys has been explored (by homins)

Pumpkins do not exist on Atys.

Bees, pearls, cereals, dandelions, butterflies, fireflies, eggs, spiders, scorpions, other insects, silk, mushrooms, mutant humans and more exist on Atys. Why not pumpkins? Perhaps the Karavan spat out some seeds.

Why do we have pumpkins in game? I have been away a few months and seems Ryzom needs to feed off WOW and GW for ideas? bloody Pumpkins!...

Do you really believe that Nevrax had spies among the WoW and GW developers?
Since I assume that the pumpkins appeared more or less simultaneously in all games, it makes sense to think that people got the same idea independently.
In my opinion it may have something to do with haloween. Not very imaginative... but it won't kill me either.

I hope on Uberdoyle's head ( ) that events like this still continue and the dev's don't get fed up with so many people being worked up. They were trying to give a little spice into your week, to have fun 7 days out of the year.

Its sad you are quiting because of temporary visual decorations.

I very much doubt that you quit simply because you saw pumpkins... I mean, what if you'd popped a mission mat and it happened to be spider web... would you have quit then?

Also, (and depending on which persons lore you believe) according to Jessica Mulligan Atys is Earth after a great deal of time and a great deal of bio weapons... so pumpkins would be very plausable.

Theres also the fact that no where does it actually say they're pumpkins... they're pretty big for that... so why aren't they simply 'spirit pits' or something that are lit to honor the dead (or something along those lines)

just be thankful we dont have ingame adverts

+ raises the question, are the pumkins really big, or are we really tiny?

[zangan]

They are like little lamp type pumpkin shaped things. They do not ruin an entire game because someone saw a pumpkin! This thread is madness!? We are complaining and quitting Ryzom because the devs put pumpkin latterns to go along with the 'Slaughter Week' and Haloween type events. Its not the end of the world!?

P.S.*yawn* I'm going to bed, maybe when I wake up I'll be happier

It's difficult situations, but in base You are right. Any "Real Life" situation should not affect in game situtations. People just wanna have holidays, but they forgets that in game reality doesn't have those same holidays.

Tinil has a point though. With all this lore and a unique world, it's disappointing that we needed a bunch of uninspired pumpkins sprinkled about the place. At least there weren't an awful lot, from what I've seen.

What's more disappointing to me though, is that a number of you chose to take Tinil's post at full face value.

Guys, where's your sense of humor gone...? This is for fun, and personally i love it (especially the moon! ). And its only for a week so just stop whining and enjoy it.
