Halloween events 2012 - Forsaken World

I haven't posted about FW in a while because the posts for FW don't get good ratings. But me and Bitten do still play it.

This event works exactly like the last Valentine's day one, except, they fucked this one up completely. I'll get into why in a moment.

Duration of the event.

  • Started 26th October.
  • Ends 25th November.
  • How to qualify for the event?
  • Have at least 1 character over level 40.

How to participate?


Possible Prizes.

  • Fenrir Mount
  • Felicity Pet
  • Random level 2 or 3 gems
  • Pumpkin Nox Pet
  • Lord Candle Pet
  • 7 Day VIP Cards
  • Reputation Badges
  • Seashade Orbs
  • Ghastly Flare Gem Boxes
  • Elite Dawn Scrolls
  • Pet Trial Scrolls
  • Star Crystals
  • Medium Pet Essences

Extra Notes.

  • Everything is bound. Which makes this event really bad.
  • You can claim 24 hours after the last time you claimed.



As you can tell, I have issues with this event, and so does most of the community. Sure, free stuff is good, but only if it's relevant. otherwise it's quite frustrating.

How? well here's an example:

Let's say I have 2 characters, 1 has a good mount and the other one has a good pet. I know one of the prizes is a mount and another is a pet, however, they'll be bound. And I won't know what I get til AFTER I pick the character that receives it.

You can see where this is a problem. You can get really good valuable stuff, but it can be stuck on a character that does not need it.

Day 1 of the event had a big issue that led to one of the prizes being removed. Originally the list also had fashion items, and there was immediately an issue with it because female character were getting male fashion (Like Bitten did), Which in itself wouldn't bad if you could sell it, but it was stuck on Bitten's female character.

Their "fix" was to not do anything about it and remove it as a prize.

This is just another episode in the trend of bad decisions and incompetence Perfect World Entertainment has been doing with Forsaken World. I won't get into it, because there's a lot of crap to mention about that.

Even though the event is flawed, It's still worth trying your luck and see what you get. Some of the stuff we got was mildly useful so far.
