SE would be really stupid if they thought nobody would notice these things- that is why they'll be doing something else for us down the line. Who knows, maybe they figured NA interest in the forum game they came up with wouldn't be as high as with the JP forum community. After all, it was a forum game and people who didn't visit the forums, whether they be NA or JP, wouldn't have known about it.

If you wanted to, you could use Player Event Support to have your own easter egg hunt just like the one they had. That's why the eggs say "Moogle"- the GMs were just using the same system they use for the player events through the event support system.
The game itself isn't what made people upset. It was the the prizes and not being able to obtain that prize. The Euro player base was very upset at the NA forum game and the JPN egg hunt game because they have been excluded from both and their community team hasn't done many if any exclusive events. The JPN game offered more chances at the prize which was something that also made players upset. But still that is the thing, the seperation like this just fuels the seperation that some players have for other players of another region. I'm just saying that to attempt to make things of equal playing ground the events should be similar with the same amount of prizes awarded and the same prize. Creating an in-game event is one thing that can bring joy to the player base if people are willing to participate, this much is true. But with the lack of a special prize such as those that can be awarded by SE themselves, you really think as many people would have wanted to participate?
