Ooh, that makes it sound like if it doesn't start today then maybe tomorrow if enough staff are around. The site does seem to be doing much better today, so whatever they worked on yesterday and last night must have helped.

i swam through the lag to check yesterday 'cause i'm Nosy and it's started on the 23rd the last two years so... i am Very Hopeful, especially since it's not taking a full minute to load posts!

Yeah, I guess we'll see. It's still pretty early so far, so if the site holds up I think there's time for it to start today. At least if they start adding items soon.

But at least it should be starting within the next couple of days or so, hopefully ~

I'm hoping that it starts today, I feel nervous, the kind of nervous I get when I'm anticipating something. I hope what Amber said in the news comments meant it would be today, and that it would be a bit earlier too, events usually start very late for me cause of my time zone. But Survival started early this year, and at the moment I'm only 4 hours ahead of Subeta time instead of 5 because the UK doesn't like to change its clocks until the last Sunday in March. I just hope I see signs of it starting soon...

Hope it starts soon. I wanna get more cyberpunk stuff.

Maybe a new cyberpunk-esque pet colour too to go with the currently existing Steamworks one? A girl can dream.

fingers crossed! though i'll settle for no lag while i quest, haha

i totally get that, i get the pre-event jitters when it's time to start checking the directory :') at least you don't have to worry about any time-sensitive things like survival's virus strains!

Lol yeah true, at least we can actually do stuff while we wait today. xD

I know, but I still like to be online when an event starts. Also I need to get as many trinkets as I can, I'm so low on them. Hopefully if it does start any later than today it won't affect when Vesnali starts since they moved that to about a month later just so there would be more time between the events.

I'm pretty sure they're planning on having Vesnali permanently in May now, so as long as it starts sometime this week there should still be some time between when this ends and Vesnali starts.

What I mean is that if Masquerade starts later than usual then I hope it doesn't make Vesnali start later than usual too.

I don't think it will, because they moved things around for that reason. Pushing Vesnali to May instead of April gives them more space in between to begin with, so I don't think it will be an issue. Vesnali started on May 12 last year, so even if Masquerade starts sometime this week and lasts for about 2 weeks, that would give us a whole month or so still until Vesnali starts. That seems like plenty of time in between holidays to me.

oh, big mood. last year i needed several thousand lounge tokens to get caught up on foods for my gourmand and a treasure chest and it was killer. gl with token collecting!

@/jensen Thank you for sharing Amber's quote, getting real hyped now. It might be soon, like today or tomorrow...

Anyway this is the first time in years I'll be playing and dancing so I kinda need to buy everything I guess. Gonna make a priority list soon as the new items are out. Also looking out for Vesnali because of the same reason and I want to stuff my bunny-gallery with all the rabbit themed items I'm still reluctant to buy...

Masq is hands down my fav site event so I'm super hyper for it! I hope it happens soon! HYPE HYPE HYPE

I don't know, I think if it was starting today there would be new items added already. Maybe Amber meant she would start it early tomorrow? I just hope I don't go to sleep tonight and wake up to find that I missed the start. I heard they had a rule where events didn't start after a certain point anyway? I don't know. We got Bonus Weekend and an item in the Crystal Shop early, so maybe it'll be around that time, but that will still be before my waking up time. I just like to be online when things happen, you know?

EDIT: I spoke too soon X)

Oh No! This shop is closed until the start of Masq!

well now i gotta hurry up and finish this ice cream [sup]and by that i mean my exam[/sup]

I hope it's not too late when it finally does start, it's nearly 9PM for me and I don't want to be waiting past 11...

I can't wait to start dancing! Crossing my fingers that we don't get lot of lag too (Yeah, maybe I'm too hopeful for that one haha)

The shops are closed but no new items have appeared yet? I hope they appear soon, they wouldn't keep the shops closed for too long, would they?

Oh man I am gonna need so many trinkets! I need many books from all open years, the wears, TC fodder and whatever items make it in from the contest.... I better invest in a lot of comfy shoes LOL!
