[quote=crazypoorer]They did spice things up for people to come back though. There was the chance to receive a free Tyrant or Fafnir box or both. It's just that the people who came back and didn't get any of these quit again right after.[/quote]

What i meant to say was more along the lines of inspiring people to play more. Sure, a chance to receive tyrant/fafnir may get people to log on once, but because the chance is so low, they would just quit again after receiving nothing (like you said). Instead of an extremely low chance of receiving a good item (in which the majority don't get anything), why not hand out something like a protection scroll. For instance if someone was able to enhance their weapon/item via protection scroll, they may be inspired to improve other gear (and thus, play more). I believe this instance is a lot more effective than a tyrant/fafnir giveaway for like 1 person or so per server (does NOTHING for the majority)

@OrionTempest: Oh they have a 1k for 30 day version? I might consider buying that.... just might.

[quote=CherryTigers]I actually really liked today's hottime. It allowed me to organize my inventory, load myself up with all cures, and move things between the storage for my other mules to use. I thought it was pretty useful.

I just wish Nexon would release an item like this that lasted 90 days for like 1-2k nx each. If I could have an item that allowed me to access storage, I'd buy it without a second thought.

It would also give me an incentive to continue to buy more nx to expand my storage slots. I think this sounds like a win-win situation for Nexon.[/quote]

I think it's something like 400NX for the 24h version, and 1k or so for a 30 day one for both.

I agree. I would've been happier if they'd just given me some coins or something.

Why do you think Nexon even gives out free items in hot days and hold x2 exp/drop events? So that they can spice things up and allow people to come back and play more maple when they're bored...Because of this, it's only fair that we get better things from hot days. I'm not even asking for anything OP, but at least something that can make the game a lot more fun and worthwhile. I agree with TS, today's items weren't special to me (which is definitely not enough to make the game that much more lively).[/quote]

I agree with this. I don't want anything extraordinary in Hot Times/Day, but I don't want anything below appealing either. This could've worked better as an event reward or something. Using the excuse that it's free does not justify anything.

Plot twist, only one person gets it, and everyone else just pretends they did so no one knows they're "that person".

That sting would hurt so much.
I approve of this idea.

Normally I would say: "Why are you complaining about free stuff?"
But I have to agree with you this time. Giving obscure items that no one really uses for a mere 1 day duration is just a troll attempt by Nexon. I'd prefer that they didn't have this hot time at all.

you don't have to take it if you don't want it. I mean it's free right, and it's just a game after all
