Autumn Event Setup

What sorts of things did you like about the event? [/align]
CONCEPT
I liked the concept. Like, a lot. It was a really neat way to introduce people to the NPCs and essentially the world that is Voltra and having the ability to interact with them is great. Also, personally I don't actually know much about the lore, but it's cool you guys decided to expand on this.

COMMUNITY
Any event that is cooperative or requires everyone to band together is amazing. It brings the community closer, more incentive to post and just kind of pumps everyone up, y'know? But I agree with Okios here, the staff and writers did a lot of heavy lifting and seeing their hard work and teamwork come together was honestly very enjoyable for me!

ITEMS
I really like the added influx of accessories! The idea to make the event items the NPCs is also cool! :D People love NPC clothing and this is no exception!

CONTESTS
The design contests are always fun! I enjoyed the art contest as well, but I think sticking to the autumn theme was a great idea for the direction of the contests. :]

GOLDSINK
This is mostly in agreement with Okios' post as well... awesome person over there pretty much summed up my feelings. I don't think it was too expensive either, especially initially for the main set without the recolors.

READING
Honestly, the length was fine, content was fine! It was well written and showed you more about the NPCS. For me, I wasn't that intially interested in getting to know them and that hasn't changed. But I can appreciate the time, effort and execution of this concept, so I can say I liked it. I don't think it was mandatory to read either(cept for the trivia contests but dur), so that was great. :)

POST FORMAT
The first thing I thought of honestly was the front posts. The banner and graphics were totally fine, but the way it's formatted felt lacking! This is all from memory but it was the banner first, then the NPC introduction/block of text(NOT A PROBLEM IN MY OPINION). But then it kind of plainly shifted onto the next subject, which was the not so clear contest details.

For example, in Vanora's art contest you guys said something like, autumn theme while capturing the personalities of the NPCs. But to be honest, it was in one small paragraph and way too easy to overlook. (And I did overlook it, I just get paranoid and reread everything to make sure I was entering correctly + looking over the theme.)

AGAIN, will agree with Okios on the Prize formatting. It's much more exciting to visualize the prizes in a fancy format, I already got excited with the mock-prize list Okios did on their post with the icons and stuff! But yeah, clearer formatting and playing around with colors(but easy to read!), sizing and overall set up can go a long way! Especially for  the people who didn't want to read, they could've just skipped that part and gone over to the actual event contests/festivities.

REWARD SYSTEM
This is regarding the "reach page so and so to unlock an item!" I...wasn't too sure about this. It felt a bit.. like, forced. You "have" to post on the event thread pertaining each NPC, so and so. I'm not sure if just one megathread would have been better, but because of the amount of NPC threads, it was pretty overwhelming. I couldn't contribute much and I feel a little bad, but it just wasn't my thing. And that's perfectly fine! Just my two cents here.

ITEMS + SHOP
I will also note that most of the items are well pixeled, save for a few some. An example of this is, I consider Vanora's belt, Velvet's earrings and Vivienne's flower well done, but then we have Vontell's book (for example in the VC's chosen color). You know that the spine of the book is shortcake but then the beige on the front cover is... an "off" beige. There's also not a lot of shading on the front cover-which I mean I get it, it's a plain cover but it could use more textures on it to give more dimension and also bring out the color beige on it. This applies to the lighter colors because the darker ones don't really need the extra texture. (So I TOTALLY understand why it wasn't shaded to begin with)

Another thing for me is I always prefer FEWER items but better quality! It will go a long way since it's easy to clutter up your avatar with a buncha event items(And we all know that feel). More items also mean that it will be harder for the newbies in the future to collect, as opposed to less.

And yeah, a central event shop would've been extremely conveinent...and more of a quality of life upgrade. I didn't mind it too much though because it was their own specific items but this is more of a suggestion for future items! =)

CONTESTS
While I loved the contests, new, more or different ones could totally be added! I will refer to Sweet Violet's post up there, more contests for the other aspects of art like writing, photography and yes, AVATAR CONTEST! (The coloring contest was super neat too. O_O)

Are there any aspects you'd like to see repeated in future mini or regular events?[/align]
Hrm, no specific thing comes to mind.
