What happened with last years maze event? I wasnt here.
Last Halloween weekend, there was a Maze Event. There were only three
different types: Easy, Medium, and Difficult. There were three entrances
in the same room for all the maze starts.
The queues for this event got up to the 500-600+ range, meaning that
you can wait an hour....then disconnect before getting into room.
If you were in a room earlier, and you wanted to go through the maze, some
kids would block teleporters on purpose, and people trying to get from
other rooms would get knocked to the room entrances....locked OUTSIDE
of the mazes themselves. Time to start over to the 500 person queue...
It was a logistic nightmare never to be repeated.
The other event was a costume contest, and it was very difficult for me
to get to a Castle Forecourt instance to get judged. If I made it in, I would
disconnect before seeing a staff member come judge. Some of my friends
were lucky enough to be judged more than once, and some of them won
Inferno as costume contest prizes, while others were winning the Mickey
ears pumpkins. I was aggravated that I couldn't even participate, let alone
get judged....as were many, MANY others.
So between the maze and the costume contest, the weekend was not
much fun for many of us.
I am really glad to see that the events have since been planned better.
Whenever there are any glitches, they are soon resolved.
