If anybody has played runescape and knows how it works on there, that is what im talking about. Any way, i think there should be some events for all of the holidays and they should be different every year. They could make some quest just for the week of which ever holiday it is and by completing this you can get some special or rare item, or maybe like a clothing article or weildable item to show off. This item doesn't really have to do anything special, its just something to show off and like a symbol to show how long you have been playing the game, becuase once the week of the holiday is over you will never be able to get that item again.
like the 1st christmas of the game, if you do the quest that is open all that week you can earn a santa hat. after that week is over, it will be impossible to ever get a santa hat again. The 2nd christmas of the game you would get a different item like a santa coat.
I know that probally sounds really confusing but i tried my best to explain it, and i got the idea from runescape and i thought its really cool how they do it and I thought alot of people would be interested in doing something like that. and I did search and couldnt find anything else about this topic. ok well think it over hope you like the idea.
-
You explained yourself quite well ^^
All I can say is that they do something similar (quite the same) in WoW (played it 5 years) and I like the concept and the Idea of it. But it's not realy needed, sure it's a very nice addition :) Lets find out what the developers say :P
-
I'm sure the Team will have one time only events. Now, for holidays, I know not, but for special events like what you said yes.
-
These things are easy to introduce for a large game with many developers, however, you have to keep in mind that PU has a relativley small team. Therefore, it would be difficult to create new items to meet a deadline which are only going to be available for one week.
I'm not shooting your idea down, I'm just saying it would be hard to do.

you've said it all bud. ^^
-
i dont care if it happens either way soooo yeah :D
-
i agree with this ^^ it's a good idea of how long you actually played the game
plus maybe it can be worth something in the distant future of the game xD
-
that would be a great idea that would defiantly make people want to play the game longer, maby special items for national holidays such as fourth of July or ex
-
4th of July is very national indeed.
Why don't you think international? - this is a MMO after all.

I did think about that, I just didn't know the names of some holidays lol
-
Christmas?
Halloween?
Easter?
-
New years, Mr Pokemon Day, etc.

Lol!
+
St Patricks'
St Valentine
Thanksgiving
-
Thanksgiving is worldwide?
-
I dunno... just suggesting some events that could be implemented. I'm myself not concerned by the three events I mentioned and Halloween, but since I came on the internet and have met other people, I came to know them. Well, St Valentine is here, but it's not made a big deal as the holidays we have here.
Mauritius being a multicultural country, you have all sorts of holidays:
Cavadee, Mahashivaratree, Chinese New Year, Eid Ul Fitr, Dragon Dance Festival, Easter, St Mary, Father Laval, and so on :D
-
Of all of those Jerry, we only have Easter in England.
-
Yeah, I didn't mentioned the all so famous Christmas and New Year, so that makes three!
Oh, there's one somewhat connected to England... the Independence day of Mauritius, from the British :P but that's not as famous as the other days I mentioned.
-
It's something we would have to do carefully. We would have to do Holidays celebrated all over the world; or we would have to do Holidays limited to certain regions, but do them for many regions. So that we don't alienate any of our players.
Once we have that settled, and the incentive to do it, I'm sure you could expect to see holiday events, quests, and items.
-
I think its a great great idea!
itll have people looking forward to these events all year round.
I think itll be a success if you keep these holiday events low, like 3 maybe 4 a year :)
I think we need to have some discussion on ideas, like what type of rewards/events we'll get
Im unsure if we can clothe our characters and stuff... if so clothes are great rewards..
special one time type of pokeballs maybe?? or decorations for your pokemon house...
PS: if you do Christmas i dont think you should do new year as 2 separate events...
maybe the event could be the duration between Christmas and new year, but these events are too close and i think its not a good idea to have holiday events so close to eachother.
I think the best holidays to use would be :
Halloween
Christmas
Valentines Day
Easter
(i think if you pick any three of these events are nicely spaced out and are all great events where itll be quite simple on planning scenarios and gifts/rewards)

Eh... I play an MMO that celeberates EVERYTHING. From Christmas to Cinco Demayo to freaking PANCAKE DAY*. As long as it was balaced and you didn't favor one religion/culture/place over another, it should be fine.
*Real holiday. I've never had a pancake on pancake day, though.

why not celebratory Items for the 4 sabbats? those are celebrated by pagans/wiccans across the globe, like for example (BRB let me get one of my grimoires) how about in Esotara (the spring sabbat celebrated march 21) an elderly lady gives out shirts with colored eggs on them. and instead of having a different shirt each year how about different upgrades that can be equipped or unequipped from the shirt or other Item, the same goes for all other holiday Items and anyone is welcome to ALL Holiday Items like I remember on an older thread someone talking about trainer houses of some sort, how about bringing THAT into the mix and you can get Items to decorate your house like for haunnkia how about a manora (if anyone who celebrates it notices I spelled something wrong when it comes to this, PLZ tell me and I apologize) that you can place somewhere in the house and each of the 8 nights of the Jewish Holiday another candle lights up, not only that but as time goes on you can have a selection of different designs of Manoras, if anyone who Is islamic and reading this I would be VERY interested to hear any Ideas for any Islam Holidays such as the Month of Ramadan (plz don't kill me if I spelled that wrong!) I hope people enjoyed what I seriously am interested in what the original starter of this thread has to say!

for U.S.A. server there could be an independence day event...
-
I really think that if one server gets an event, they all should. I mean, I'd love to celebrate the holidays of other cultures, even if I really have no idea what it's for.
As long as we don't take favorites (i.e. - Ten English holdiays and only one or two chinese) Ya know? Maybe, every year, we celebrate ONE national holiday from each of the countries PU is most popular in. Just 'cause we don't know what we're celebrating, doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. I mean, look at the streets of any major city! Any drunk guy'll happily stop and cheer along with a crowd of other people, just for the sake of cheering.

I just think all these religious events will end up angering someone somewhere in someway and it will be a real mess. It happens too often
-
IF we do holiday events, it is likely to be only a few, and the ones that the majority of players celebrate. E.G Christmas. Sorry, but we can't make everybody happy.
-
Or, we forget all Holidays as people know them and we just do our own.
Christmas? Try "Delibirdmas."
There is no reason we are constrained to actually following Holidays. If we want to put in a specific PU version of a Holiday, we can. That doesn't mean it even needs to be remotely similar to an already well known Holiday.
-
Meh, we can also issue an event for the birthdays of the team's members ;)
::joking::
We could of course have game events concerning PU itself... I don't know, like an anniversary of the foundation of PU, or some event for the inauguration of something in the game, or things like that.
-
We actually could have an 'anniversary' of the founding of PU also be dedicated to the people who make PU what it is. That's not JUST the team, though. It's Jerry. It's Chibivampire, if she ever comes back. It's everyone here who makes the community worthwhile. I tell ya, guys, if I didn't like you, I wouldn't have stayed here very long.
I'm betting this game wouldn't be even close to the same without our resident mudkip up there, and I think people need to know about it, at least be reminded that we owe a portion of the game's value to certain members of the community.

I gotta admit we are a pretty awesome website. And it is because the founders and the members. :)

hey um frenchfry what about me :(
-
He wasn't saying only Jerry Chibi and the team. he said "Everyone here that makes the community worthwhile!"
-
Oh, yes, my mistake.
Jerry, Chibivampire, and Amphy. No love for Frenchfry, Lucario, Mr. Pokemon, Silver, Tealize, or Montza.
I just didn't feel like listing everyone that it should be dedicated to... >.<
-

i know, but uh, chibi wasn't a huge contributor, she and I just formed the Rp section
-
This is just one of the few things that the team could put in once the game is released. We still need more pixel artists :P
-
i know, but uh, chibi wasn't a huge contributor, she and I just formed the Rp section
As I remember, Amphi...
There was a time where you refused to do anything unless Chibi was doing it also. Unbreakable went into a freaking coma when she left.
Once a bond like that forms, they're an important player.
-
Back on topic.
And I mean TOPIC, not list of members.
E.G.
Easter bunnies lul
-
Easter bunnies?
Eggs?
Rare pokemans?
I feel an awesome coming on.
-
The "special Pokémon" idea wouldn't be 'fair'. Especially since the region (Mirius, if memory serves) supposedly has all 493 Pokémon (excluding the Generation V ones), it wouldn't be 'fair' in a way to have some Pokémon only appear on certain events.
For instance... only having a Delibird appear on Christmas would be sort of stupid.
And raising the point that has already been made: the PU team is fairly small, so making a big thing like holiday events would be difficult.
But of course, there's nothing stopping special items being on sale for a short period of time... in fact, I would love this to be the case.
:)
