What I liked:
4. Lower levels essentially could not do the later sections of the quest - this doesn't apply to me but did apply to several of the people I saw struggling to finish the quest. There were no intermediary rewards, either.

yeah outside of the bugs and cut-off time this is the main thing that I didn't "get" about this event. the only people who the quest rewards were relevant to were new players under level ~30, but they had zero chance of actually completing the event. just didn't make sense. i think it's cool for an event to give out newbie items and i'm not clamoring for pixels, but if you're going to do that at least make the event something the new players can do. if an event's being designed for lv40+ characters and you don't want to hand out pixels, just hand out no-drop vanity items or something. didn't understand this design choice.

3 hours of non stop running and frustration for a Ropy Tendril?? for real? fail. I know I know... I should just be happy the gods have blessed me with the ability play such a flawless free experience as P99... for free. what a waste of a Halloween, thanks.

I guarantee the event was turned off early because one of you dirtbags found a way to exploit it.

Meez wuld love ta know whut all da possibul rewards were. Dat wuld be neat ta see whut we all miss da chance on.

I'm just gonna say this:

Turning the event off was a TERRIBLE idea. My entire group, mostly level 40s not 60s mind you, fought tooth and nail for 5 hours to get this all done.

We'd already head the rumors of the poor rewards but we no longer cared. We just wanted to FINISH THE QUEST so we felt SOME sort of accomplishment for our time spent.

Wow people! Just have to say wow! I was there at the tunnel at the start and began immediately, had sow's, used sow potions... had ports with a excellent druid. We got screwed! had 3 masks and the toilet paper on way to 2nd and poof, it's over NO! warning... Wow! Hours of our lives, people lost xp with poor placement of guy in FoB... The whole thing was setup for high levels, these things always ignore the lower. Really ok, you have a porter and a bard and you could do it good on you - everyone else gets the screw job. Nice! Wouldn't be surprised if the server takes a good population hit after this.

Pros:
+ Interesting quest that spread out over multiple zones
+ Seeing other people getting screwed over by "tricks"
+ Figuring out the locations based on hints (until they were all over /ooc)

Cons:
- Quest design favored porting classes too much
- Some tricks were a bit much (one-shot IC kill and the resulting xp loss)
- Ending time should've been made apparent from the start
- Rewards did not match the effort required (even worst rewards shouldn't be vendor trash)

Overall, I had fun, even if the final hand-in was a let down. I think it could've ended with a bang - a boss mob in Kith with a limited pool of nice rewards that would then be raffled once it was killed (the mask turn-in would yield a raffle ticket). A missed chance on a good reward is better than the poor quality rewards a lot of us got, in my opinion.

Thanks for the event Braknar!
