    Mid-Week Madness Needs to Go

    I have what I think would be a good idea for replacing the now useless Mid-Week Madness. Keep the name Mid-week Madness name, but have it be half price off ALL Fair items. We can all agree the majority of things in there (cards namely) are overpriced, this would make them SOMEWHAT viable as options. If people feel this is too much of a gift to the players, they could make it only be the "common item" that can be changed for 5 gems is the only half price thing.

    Reason why this is good. It doesn't conflict with Tuesday credit spending or Thursday coin spending, but it allows gemmers to either buff their coins/creds some more for thorsday, makes stars that much nicer to buy, and makes things a little more enticing to players.

    My question to Dawn is, do people buy a lot of cards from fair? Chips? If not why not lower prices, so we actually have something to spend gems on without blowing $100 on a freaking card. Is Wednesday still viable beyond the first couple weeks in a new server? Anyone else have ideas for Wednesday?

    No ideas for Wed, but totally agree that MidWeek Madness has been very dead for a long time. I saw 1 purchase of a chest today. Putting all those resources in Fair for 100 gems makes the chest available outdated. You can get a lot more in fair than to buy them. Most Wednesdays I don't even see 1 bought. Replace it with something.

    Midweek Madness is VERY IMPORTANT for newer servers.

    This is the primary source of coins and credits there.


    Again, please do not think that the world of Tynon orbits around your server, and that everything must be changed in your server's favour.

    Considering Im in 117, theres only 3 (now 4) servers newer than mine. I haven't seen a chest bought since the new fair upgrades, so no they're not useful for even a new server. Theres at any point a 100 gem coin/credit available in the fair thats slightly better to TWICE as good than a mid-weep chest in any point in time.

    Also how can you defend something thats debatably good for the first couple weeks of a server, and is then useless? Do thursdays ever become useless to a server? Saturday? Sunday? Tuesday? No they're all STILL useful even for Server 1, because they GROW with the players, Wednesday stagnates when players become more profitable in many other ways. Whats to defend? Why do you still assume players buy chests even on newer servers? Newer players aren't gonna spend more than 100-400 gems on coins in a day, so why should they need another option beside the fair?

    I do like double frags idea, at the moment you have another option to use your creds in an efficient way beside thors day, and that would allow for another efficient way to use your coins.

    ok fine, i go for it. even tho there is an old thread that got slaughtered and modified from someone that had 2 great ideas for midweek madness. since then a major game changer has occurred that wasnt implied at that point:

    i agree with herby and have mentioned it in the past that midweek madness is important for new servers, for the first 2-3 weeks. with the 100 gem items in fair now that has been reduced to a single day (1st wednesday after server opening). keeping an event alive for a single day after a server has opened seems silly and screams for a change. the players moved on, the server and the game has moved on. everything develops and now let certain events like midweek madness evolve.
    now from previous posts about this i remember 4 suggestions that where made

    casino day
    additional 50% off on all chip purchases or increased odds of winning something "worth it"

    pet appreciation day
    (from chickenwing if i remember right) all feeding caps are removed or significantly raised.
    i.e: coin feeds up to x100 and/or gem feeds reduced to 2 gems

    reputation day
    do something so newbies can gain rep faster

    stamina day
    1 stamina in 5min or other changes to it

    Lol i love this.

    Something like thorsday:

    "gem costs are reduced to 5 gems per tame, and maximum feed attempts are multiplied x4"

    LOL Herby, Herby. Again with the snotty reply. MY comment had nothing to do with my server!! It has to do with the fact that the fair outprices the Wed chests. Most guilds with buffs you can get more in shrine, then buy in fair and you get much more than 1 99 gem chest. Needs gone, that's simple. Unless Tynon makes fair and things different on other servers, that I would not know. But pretty certain it's the same everywhere.

    Double fragments at the Temple similar to double spirits at the Tavern.
