Well as we’re posting our opinions on the matter, I think I speak for more than one North American on the….North American server, when I say that’d be severely inconvenient considering most people aren’t even off work at that time. As server transfers are still open? I would think that if the EU players reeeeeally wanted to play for the swords event, they would consider switching to naia where the time zone works better for them. Not to mention that if Juji were to see the server activity during swords, I believe he’d agree the only problem is keeping the game from lagging. I think the time of swords is perfectly fine as it’s, again, geared towards North American players on a North American server. I’d even go as far as to say that though I don’t agree a time change is necessary, maybe make the chests active longer? It would be fun to be able to have a longer time that the swords drop in the game and have the server forced to pvp more, which is the overall goal isn’t it? More activity and opportunity to participate? It also prevents players from keeping swords in castles or forts which is another complaint that’s been brought up as an issue in the past. The main argument I heard on the server today whilst it was discussed at length in world shout, was that Olympiad is a time shared between servers. It’s a good point, but Olympiad is Friday and Saturday. Though people, of course, still work on the weekend, that’s considered the end of the work week and even then they try to extend it out so North Americans on the North American server can participate after they get done working. Many people come home late from work or have to get kids from school, feed their families, then have time to play finally. Frankly it would be absurd to consider changing the time of the NORTH AMERICAN SERVER EVENT for EUROPEAN players who already have their own server… while server transfers are still open right now.

I was about 5 and I played her healer, my sister played her iss (Bishop at the time). It is one of my earliest memories, playing this with her. Unfortunately life and jobs got in the way and she stopped playing for a few years, though I played on and off for fun the entire time. As of a year or two ago, we started playing again more intensely. We met great people and friends and it gave us time together away from everything going on in the world. It brought me back to being a kid. I had been sick with what I now know as Crohns for about 3 years now. I was finally on the upswing after being in the hospital with emergency blood transfusions, many infusions of medications, and tons of blood tests. My mom helped me through all of it and was there for every appointment and visit. We played the game through it and it was a way for us to connect and keep up a hobby together. I played it in the hospital and we would play it through my visits to pass the time. It brought us closer than we already were and gave us something to do together we both enjoyed. We started attending the sword event in our evening time and watched all the PvP from the building behind the akamanah box. We had a spot we would sit our toons and watch and dream of joining the fight. One day we ended up meeting some people there and after they helped us for a while and invited us into clan, we made it to the field and were PvPing ourselves! She spent months helping people get better at jumping for the swords and figured out a more pinpointed way of playing the event fairly. She did it all for fun and because she enjoyed playing with friends and even “enemies” in game. She saw the good in everyone and just wanted to enjoy the game and make it more enjoyable for everyone else without asking for anything in return. Unfortunately my mom passed away suddenly in may of aggressive esophageal cancer. 2 months from diagnosis, I had to say goodbye. She was known in game as "GottaGo" and was a member of propve and a very active member in the community, many players knew and loved her from all sides and places of the server. I write this ticket in hopes that I could draw the attention of a GM or anyone willing to hear me out. Below I've attached images of the location where her and I would watch the swords event when we had just started again. I've also attached images of an unnamed NPC that looks strikingly like an elpy... Ironically, that was her favorite mob too. Ever since we first started she loved them and would ask juji more recently to bring them back. Anyways, I was hoping a GM or someone would consider naming the NPC "serita", it was her buddhist name meaning "one who is free from suffering". I would also love it if there was any possibility to put one stationary in the spot where we used to watch swords, so she could always be watching over us? I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this and I thank you for any help that can be given. She and I loved the game and it would mean the world to me and some of her comrades to have this small remembrance of her. Peace and love, Stephen "Dag"
