Uh, so...today in the advent, we got currency for the Winter Festival Shop....but there's no active Festival Shop? And the only Festival Events are the stocking (which apparently I can't stuff anyone's stocking because I have nothing good enough) and the Advent Calendar. Is this a bug? Is the Festival not finished? What am I missing here?

EDIT: Please ping me. I'm not on often.

The festival hasn't started yet. (In full)

I'll edit this once I find the post again that says when exactly all the zones/other events open, however I am pretty sure it was very soon.

What's Next?

First and foremost, we will be releasing this year's Winter Festival sometime this week. I will try to get things started by Wednesday, but there is still a lot that has to be done so I unfortunately cannot promise a start by that date. But it will definitely be active by this weekend. =)


This was part of the 6th anniversary news post, now we've passed that day, but I would guess the fact we got our extra stuff from last year back recently would mean he is very close to releasing it.

Ah! Thank you for the info. Like I said, I couldn't quite tell what was going on with it because I'm really not on much. I'm basically just on long enough to snag the advent and feed my pets. **sweatdrop**

Last night, Krin briefly hopped into gen chat with some updates. He said that he's been really busy irl and is travelling soon. He has the avatar items in the wardrobe (as many people have already seen), was working on the nameds at the time, and had the new themes chosen but not yet implemented.

We may see a partial release (zone only?) today, depending on how much he gets done between travelling and (hopefully) sleeping.

Yes. Hopefully Krin gets some sleep.
