Winter Event on Hold

[PioPico]

As many of you have experienced, there have been recent lag issues that started earlier this week. After further investigation, the lag issues are caused by the current winter event. The only short term solution to resolve the issue is to de-activate the winter event until a fix is planned to run the event without the lag issues. We do not have an ETA when a fix is in place although we'll explore the possible options to host the event in the future.

We apologize for ending the winter event so soon although based on the comments expressed by the community, the lag issues have been an inconvenience
that justifies ending the winter event early.

Thank you again for your understanding.

so are you saying that even if there is not a fix until February that it will be turned on again when a fix is ready and that we will not have to wait another 12 months?

They are saying that they are unsure at the moment what they will be doing until there is a fix. The fact that players cannot perform in game the way they normally would due to the lag is a bigger problem than this event not being in the game.

Ideally, we would want to host the event as soon as a fix has been resolved to host the event without causing any lag. This remains to be seen based on how the fix goes so we don't want to make any promises at the moment. Just know that we'll be working to address the issue as soon as we can.

Affirmative, I think it will be a little disappointing to Avilon players as we have not really been receiving lag. Of course what needed to be done was done.

Sorry to see the event end prematurely, but thank you for removing it. Lag resolved.

When I was online my guild members kept complaining about lag, but I wasn't experiencing any.

Guess I'm just special?

It kinda sucks that all my Winter Event items are bound , but I've always wondered why they're bound by character and not by account . Then I could give all of "Lucky" Sparkplug's items to Icebox who struck out with every Large Winter Prize .

It probably was a difficult decision to make, but I think you made the right one.

I log back on finally and the winter event is off?
