Since Aeria can't run J-Server events...

I swear, it seems like every single time I update the blog, something else post-worthy happens. Who knows, maybe Aeria's logic is bad press > no press...

Anyway, after yesterday's broken promise, Aeria's Producers and Cave (see also: the new scapegoats... inb4 "my dog calls the shots on how content is released" comments) decided they weren't giving the community the shaft enough, so they decided to go above and beyond the call of asshattery.

Aeria Staff: The community seems to sincerely dislike our mystery boxes.

Aeria Producer: Well you all had better find a way to sell these things.

Aeria Staff: What if we did something like this?
Photobucket
Aeria Producer: FUCKING GENIUS! Have my secretary hold my calls, I'll be pleasuring myself in my office.

And there you have it. Mystery box solution = putting a mystery box inside of a mystery box. As if you had a chance of actually winning the top prize in these boxes, now you have an even less of a chance of actually getting the Summon PG you want. It prints fucking money.

Here's where all the vouchers originally came from:

Demon Voucher 1: Joyful Alice
Demon Voucher 2: Inexperienced Elf/Inexperienced Succubus/Inexperienced Jikokuten
  • I'm unsure on the specifics of this one since there's no campaign page (that I've found yet), but pro-tool Google Translator says "Campaign GW reward for perfect attendance"
    Demon Voucher 3: Inexperienced Lilim/Inexperienced Andras/Inexperienced Hathor
    • Imagine Summer Festival 2007
      Create a new character and reach Lvl 11 during the duration of the event.
    Summon PG-- Fuji: Shining Shishimai Frost
    Summon PG-- Electric Shock: Shocking Cait Sith
    Voucher ( Demon Helper ): Fresh Poltergeist/Fresh Archangel/Fresh Harpy
    • Unsure of specifics again, quoted: "Goo or OCN GAME Game Start Campaign"
    Summon PG-- Inexperienced Thoth: Inexperienced Thoth 
    Summon PG-- Inexperienced Okuninushi: Inexperienced Okuninushi
    Summon PG-- Hawk: Shishimai Frost
    Summon PG-- Eggplant: Inexperienced Shishimai Frost 
    I find it ironic that Aeria states we're not the J-Server and can't run J-Server events, yet they have time to make up the "Bad Acts" series. How hard is it to make up smaller monthly/seasonal events with the same prizes from the J-Server?

    Edit: 
    Am I the only person who was disappointed with the Kuchinawa Cave email? Oh 200AP and non-repairable Frost Cameo Ring... how my heart races for you~
