NEED NEW EVENT!!!

I have noticed that SE is not taking this game to seriously, I mean they still have the summer event in the game and it is a little annoying. Usually, we would have 2-3 events by now on FF11, but SE seems to be lacking in the event department for people guys. Are they even going to put a Halloween event in, Thanksgiving, and Xmas? Come on SE, lets see some love!!!:confused:

It just turned October a week ago. I'm sure they'll have their Halloween event up in another week's time or so. But yes, it is kind of odd for the Summer Event to still be out and about, but I'm sure SE is just giving people extra time to get those swimsuits in rq.

From sketch pictures they posted awhile back, yes they plan on a Christmas event at least, not to sure on a Halloween or Turkey Day event, I don't mind loosing out on some events if it means they are working around the clock to get other things accomplished and ingame. Also I think the reason for summer still going was that with all the login restrictions to start and character creation restrictions they just left it going a bit longer, im sure it will be down soon.

FYI the Christmas clothing looked pretty nifty, that's always my favorite ingame event time anyhoo

We'll probably have an halloween and Xmas events (and none of these happens on august or september), don't put thanksgiving in the middle because isn't an important holiday woldwide

The game has barely been live for over a month, and we're still in the first week of October. You want "two or three events" within that time?

There will be Halloween and Christmas events, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a Thanksgiving event. (Thanksgiving, as celebrated in November, is purely an American holiday.)

Japanese company.

Halloween isn't a big celebration there, and their version of it is July-ish i think.
They also have a different version of Thanksgiving(since they don't care about native americans and pilgrims...) so i wouldn't expect much of an event there even though they have a similar version.

Christmas is the next major holiday i expect an event for, not including any fictional ones they add in game for lore. But I'll gladly accept any they decide to make even if they don't matter to anyone in the world except americans that want everyone to celebrate the same holidays.

Well, I meant 2-3 events within a period of months. Hell FF11 has an event going like every month or so! So, idk why SE can't give us something nice, but as you said I am sure they are working on it, I hope.

They are leaving the event up longer, and they even said this, due to the server issues during the first weeks of launch. And yes, they have Halloween events.

there always been an halloween event, and they never did an event for their obon. The only japanese festivity they put in the game it's the Kodomo no hi, the children holyday in May.

I love events!! ♥

But I don't expect 2-3 to already be active when the game has only been out 1.5 months or so, and many players couldn't even log in for the first week.

I really hope we get something in time for Halloween though!

For the record, here's the different holiday events they had in 1.0. I think it'd be reasonable to expect that most or all of them will return in ARR:

Chinese New Year (Heavensturn)
Valentine's Day (Valentione's Day)
Little Girls' Day (Little Ladies' Day)
Easter (Hatching-tide)
Summer Event (Firefall/Moonfire Faire)
FFXIV Anniversary (Foundation Day)
Halloween (All Saints' Wake)
Christmas (Starlight Celebration)

It doesn't seem like we'll be getting Foundation Day this year, but aside from that, I think we can expect most of these to return.

The game has been out for a little over a month...

It's only been out for a month or so. And not only that but there's been a slew of problems.

Honestly, I'd rather they work on the problems then give events.

I like events yes, but I like a game that works more.

It'd be nice to have the /snowball emote back for a bit. :D

I've always looked forward to holiday events, even if they can be done quickly. I just like collecting stuff.

FFXI had Halloween Festivals every year.

Are you actually comparing the number of events between a newly released MMO and one that has been out for over 10 years?

There also seem to be Cherry confetti (Dance of the Five Petals event) in MB list. I wouldn't mind cherry blossom viewing event at all, if that's what it is.
