Wow!!! That's Nuts! Pin Trading Event!

[pirateprincessKT]

I traded 25 credit buyable pin for Madame Leota

I'm at work for the rest of the day so I can't even try anymore, but holy cow! The gravedigger and pirates jolly roger! that would make my wish list complete! Oh well. I work all day today and tomorrow, but I"ll see if I can sneak on for a little and get lucky. Good luck everyone else!

man, jolly roger (1/5) pin! I will trade people each of the food pins for that pin if you get it! including churro!

They seem to be taking any pins, ones currently buyable for 25 credits. I read on another thread Tink Mick Koda Miles' post saying they would take any pins, and I tried it. Worked twice for me.

I got the HK Disneyland Hotel Pin and disconnected in the teleporter on the way out.

The gravedigger pin was gone. Here is what she was trading the last time I was in there: Zebra, HK Disneyland Hotel, Pirate (Burning Building), Churro, Tiki Yellow, Surfing, Tomorrowland Skyway, Inner Space Ride

I'm having dinner with family so I'm out for now. See you all at the next one!

I'm in line again for the fifth and final time. I got dc'd twice in line and twice in the room so I feel very lucky

 

[PurpleFairy]

I can't stand it any more. Five disconnects and I still can't get in. LOL

What's a Fairy got to do?

Well, I get dc right when I get up to trade. Hilarious.

Did a little thinking. If they really wanted this event to run well, and noticing that now Lily is the one dishing out pins in Hula's room, I came to this conclusion. Why not, rather than devoting 1 host to the event, wouldn't it be simpler to have a another host or two with a completely different line, but with the same pins offered? That way, the lines in to get in would go faster, less people would dc, more people would be able to get in, and the events would run a lot smoother than they do know (what with the constant dcing.) If the servers are really that bad that they can't sustain that amount of players for more than 40 or so minutes, then why wouldn't they find ways to get the events to run faster, rather than completely ignoring the problem?

I'm currently in line waiting at 20.

I'm hoping for Gravedigger, Grand Cali, Zebra or Lion pins. Any of them and I'll be happy.

Thanks

I almost had it. I was in the trade but she put up the Grand Floridian. I asked for the other Hotel pin she was wearing and she was gone. I don't think the trade would have been completed either way.

48.. 47..

If you need the HKDL Hotel pin (white one), I have an extra I can always trade you.
*edit* NVM. I see you got one.

YUP, I was next to trade, wondering why it was taking so long, and got the old disconnected message. I was going to get Bride in the Attic this time. They had much different ones from when I was in an hour ago. I'm 18th in line on another computer, hoping to have better luck. It'd be nice if that 25credit pin thing works too!

Edit - other computer dc about 5th in line main computer back in line at 39
I should just go play fireworks to save for the costumes next month!

 

[PurpleFairy]

Number 4. Let's hope i don't dc. please don't dc. pretty please with sugar on top.

Nope, again dc!
I was a little closer again, I was sitting in the chair and the trade window pops up and then I was gone

 

[cteddiesgirl]

Yay! I got my Zebra!

But before I could even get onto the teleporter pad, I was DC'd. lol

The trick of not dc'ing is log on and immediately try to get into queue. Keep trying for no more than about 8 minutes. After that, log off and re-long back in and repeat until you get into the queue. Of course, it also depends on how fast the line moves. But the most you should spend trying to get into the queue is 10 minutes.

Has anyone taken a step back and looked at the thread we're posting in?

Wow!!! That's Nuts! Pin Trading Event!

That's nuts? This is the thread that is quickly becoming the Official Pin Trading Weekend Thread, and 'that's nuts' is in the title?!

 

[Disney Dreams]

...Two hosts would solve everything. They would rarely DC at the same time and we could easily get through the line and trade if it was moving twice as fast.

I got in just before the room closed - and BOTH Hula and Lily were working the line! Nicely done!

Thanks for a nice pin, smoothe trade and no DC!

Yay, a happy, non-frustrating, fun staff pin trade! woot!

 

[TinkerFairy]

I'm 5th in line right now.

Are they even still trading, or am I just wasting time?

 

[cydawn]

Hmm.... after like 9 hours a day of trying to get in the trade rooms, that may be a perfect title come Monday! Or maybe we should change it to "We're nuts!"

 

[TinkerFairy]

ARGH!

I finally got in, two people in front of me...
Hula was still trading..

and...

I disconnected


She had a Leota pin too.

 

[PurpleFairy]

NO!!!! Bang head on virtual artist desk. NO! NO! NO!

I was dc'd at next person in line. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Violently flings wand a computer screen.

 

[laxplaya1346]

Well let's gear up and try again lol, still working on my first trade

 

[TinkerFairy]

Yeah, I just put on a pot of coffee and I am ready to go again, and maybe, just maybe make it to the trade window this time.

If I'm really lucky, complete it.
