Daenar 0 Posted March 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Has this site done any holiday events? Like what the SAO show did for Christmas. I only ask cause Easter is just around the corner and looking for some motivation to leveling grinding. I was waiting patiently for Moriko to respond to my post, but. I might have to continue on otherwise I won't be able catch up to the frontlines. Link to post Share on other sites
Azide 0 Posted March 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well, we did sort of have a Valentine's event this year, and I know i've seen other holiday-themed events before such as a Halloween one. But in terms of boss fights, there's a sort of monthly boss which the GM's will post about roughly a week or two before they begin. Also, I don't know if Moriko's gonna come back, so I'd highly recommend starting a topic! :P Link to post Share on other sites
Daenar 0 Posted March 24, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Kk Moriko was online today. So goes to show she's logging in, but it doesn't seem like she's posting so yeah I'll get right on that. Link to post Share on other sites

Baldur 0 Posted March 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2015 They unionized and said such an event would be discriminatory, so HR pulled the plug on it. It was going to be replaced instead with a mass stabbing of Erron, but for some reason he vetoed the idea. Link to post Share on other sites
Daenar 0 Posted March 24, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm not sure, but I think my sarcasm detector just went off. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron 1 Posted March 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2015 If you have any legitimate ideas as for holiday events, and don't even mention Nicholas the Renegade, that isn't happening. Then please post it in the Support and Feedback section. If the votes turn out alright it will go into discussion with the staff team where we will debate if it should be a valid event or not.

Daenar 0 Posted March 24, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Ok I'll keep that in mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Baldur 0 Posted March 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think an Ides of March event would be appropriate :P Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted March 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2015 How about April's Fool? Link to post Share on other sites
Daenar 0 Posted April 11, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I think we should do a Thanksgiving event. Where we could either have a cooking contest or a quest where players compete to kill the most turkeys within a set time period or chance to earn a rare item through a treasure hunt or something.

Where we could either have a cooking contest or a quest where players compete to kill the most turkeys within a set time period or chance to earn a rare item through a treasure hunt or something. But you see, you rarely see turkeys in Japan. And I'm not sure they celebrate some form of Thanksgiving... Link to post Share on other sites
Daenar 0 Posted April 11, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Good point, but considering that it's an online game and that some of the players are from other nations, my character included, there might be an exception. But you did make a good point. Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted April 11, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Pretty sure SAO is an internationalized game, with bomb-tiss amazing translation software. I don't just want turkey's, I really want an all-inclusive holiday. In that spirit, I propose we celebrate Festivus! It's the holiday for the rest of us! We should also celebrate our literary foundings by celebrating National Poetry Month in April and NanoWriMo in November. Speaking of holidays in April, we should be mindful that it is also National Pecan Month, and that sounds delicious. The fourth week in April is also National Karaoke Week, and so I think it's pretty obvious we need to celebrate. I am a very...enthusiastic...singer. Link to post Share on other sites
Baldur 0 Posted April 11, 2015 #15 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Pretty sure SAO is an internationalized game, with bomb-tiss amazing translation software. This has been a peeve of mine. it's not an international game. All 10k players are Japanese, and were relocated to japanese hospitals. I suppose it's possible that one or two people outside of the country managed to get in, but they wouldn't have gotten Kayaba's warning and would likely have been unplugged and fried. But that's not my call, so I just bite my tongue :P Link to post Share on other sites
Daenar 0 Posted April 11, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Well Kayaba did say that the situation was aired on the news and being that 10k people were trapped in the game I'm sure they'd air it across the world. I mean something that serious wouldn't be kept locally in case people ordered the game online. Plus when Gun Gale online was introduced in SAO 2 they did mention it was being used on an American server. So it quite possible. Link to post Share on other sites

Plus when Gun Gale online was introduced in SAO 2 they did mention it was being used on an American server. So it quite possible. Several years later, different game, different technology, different company. Kayaba knew what he was doing. There's a reasonable suspension of disbelief that in Japan this could take place. There's not that someone in, say, Spain, could get their hands one. Also, games are traditionally region locked. You don't play with Japanese players on WoW, they have their own servers. If you were on the other side of the world, you'd be at a huge disadvantage, because you'd tried to do something and it would take you a second or two to do it. Besides, how much foreign news do you see on TV? Link to post Share on other sites
Daenar 0 Posted April 12, 2015 Author #18 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Fair point. As for the foreign TV I haven't seen much, but if something that could be a world threat isn't kept quite. I mean last year there was talk about a bombing in Britain. Two or three years ago there was the war in Iran. They gave us updates on what was happening. So yeah it could be possible for other nations to hear about this. Link to post Share on other sites
Mari 1 Posted April 12, 2015 #19 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This is completely off topic. If you wish to discuss this do it via PMs. in SAO all participants were Japanese. However in SAO-RPG that is diversified. Many members have European characters IN Japan, myself included. Others do not specific where they are so it is assumed Japan. So it does not strictly adhere to the site. All further discussion in this thread should pertain to events, if not then I will lock it due to spam. -Mari Link to post Share on other sites
Daenar 0 Posted April 12, 2015 Author #20 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Way to lay down the law Mari. So will we do any summer events? Like a fishing contest or something? Link to post Share on other sites
