With this coming weekend event, A.net demonstrates their incredible lack of ingenuity and their extreme greed. As you may have guessed, they are repeating a popular event, and making it occur only in Nightfall. Triple green drops from bosses in Elona. I'd like to see some recognition that there are people who still want to play the other campaigns (because Factions and Prophecies are great games, and I'd love to see more people playing them). If anyone is interested, maybe we can schedule some GW Coldfront Prophecies and Factions events (this is your cue to email me using the "contact us" link if you like Prophecies or Factions).
Also, I really love the game updates with Nightfall and suggest you get it if you ever play with henchmen, because Heroes are amazing. The only fault with the Hero system is that it is Nightfall only. It is my opinion that it should be cross-campaign, and only limit individual hero acquisition based on what you've purchased, because Heroes allow people to play the game through tough areas without needing to find a group. It's a tremendous advantage that should be available to all players.
Note that I did not spell "available" correctly the first time.
If you're reading this and don't own Nightfall, know both that I feel for you, and that I think you need to find $50 to set down on this game, stat.
Oh, and since this news item is actually about the coming weekend event, rather than a rant about greed, here's the official word:
| Unique Weekend Planned |

"green," items throughout Elona. Start your green hunt at Noon PST on
