The special chests don't really sound worthwhile to me. As a 2015 join, I fall into that "gap" where they do me no good, because I only need/want items that are older than the window as described. No chance, as I understand it, for me to get, say, a Boneyard Tatters.

Also, a 25% chance of an elemental crown for 90,000 treasure is very, very not worth it, for me at least. What this WILL do is depreciate the skins, accents, and apparel that I diligently stockpiled from the events I was able to participate in by making them permanently less valuable than older stuff. Woo. It's kind of elemental bears 2.0. I don't think 90kT is enough of a barrier to keep from flooding the market. We'll see.

[quote name="ImaginationSoars" date=2016-06-15 19:57:57] [quote name="@middoe" date=2016-06-15 19:51:00] you owe me 37,000,000 treasure seriously tho i'm from 2015 and i managed to collect all the sprites. it's possible. i earned every single one of these things my guy, and you're not being fair at all to players like me, who purchased them with an expectation that their inflated values are justified [/quote] Hehe, I just said that a lot of people are agreeing on this! X_X It is possible, but it just isn't easy (and neither is the extra inventory chest). It's just that most people here agree that if the staff is trying to balance the scale, they should start by fixing the root of the problem/the errors of the past, rather than trying to just fix things by going forwards and ignoreing the past. I'm really going to bed now [/quote] I agree with this; it does feel like sometimes things get ignored? I know I've had to desperately try sometimes to get responses to things, and I'm just wondering... are there still those people out there missing some KS rewards? I know I saw some people a while back trying to get things they were owed :s But sometimes I don't always get things. Like when they release new stuff instead of going back and fixing typos and art issues. Maybe that's just me but? I feel like you should fix what you have before adding more on top. But I suppose that's a different can of worms, if dragons have those :P

[quote name="Bowno" date=2016-06-15 19:58:57] :l Even at a slow trickle, bringing this back is still breaking the 'retirement' promise. Its not retired if its brought back. Looks like it's getting close to time for me to jump ship. [/quote] @Bowno From undel: What about retired event items from 2013-2016? We have no plans to unretire past items. The SPARE INVENTORY boxes will contain only items that were announced as not retiring from the 2016-2017 holiday season.

Re-coloring of comet, Re-coloring of comet, Re-coloring of comet!

Part is going to be recoloring of old holiday items, so a recoloring of the campanion comet could be possible :3 Pleaseeeeeeeee XD

Comet seems to be semi popular so it seems to be a understandable item to recolor (though it wouldn't be nearly as costly for the recolored one).
Recoloring of popular (expensive and for some unattainable) items would be really cool. (Like Recoloring of some of the Kickstarter items. It's not the original and it wouldn't affect their prices, but for those that could never afford it, it's a possible goal without losing an arm and leg, and another arm and leg XD)
