Christmas events/updates.

Post by Fusion »

Greetings.

As you are likely aware, Christmas is rapidly approaching. The staff have been working hard to bring some fun updates to you to make Christmas at Chao Island more exciting. This post is about one such update - others will be announced later.

You may have already noticed the 'Advent Calendar' link at the top of the forum. If you haven't, click here and take a look.

For those unaware, an advent calendar is used to count the days to Christmas. Every day you can open the appropriate door (for example, door 1 for the 1st of December) and receive a special gift! You can only open each door once. Don't forget to open them every day, or you'll miss out on the gifts!

The advent calendar will tick over to the next day at midnight in the PST time-zone. That's 8 AM GMT. Therefore, you'll be able to open the first door in just over two hours from the time of this post. Have fun!

-Fusion

Code: Select all

This is from '08. The Advent Calendar, shop, and inventory are long gone.

The forum now has a Christmas theme!
I have set this theme as the default theme for the day, and afterwards you will be able to select your own theme again (Chao, Hero, Dark, or Christmas)

This is awesome!
I wonder what I'll get on my birthday? (Dec 21)
Of course, I'm gonna make a topic in general discussion on my birthday, Just to inform you all. I'm almost as exited for both as I am CHRISTMAS PART 2! (the 26th is when the rest of my family, aunts, uncles, cousins, all go to my uncles 4-story house for dinner and more presents (I include basements as a story, he has a HUGE basement and he puts the tree, candles, and a fireplace and wide-screen plasma TV in it!) That's the only time I see people from my dad's side of the family.

I was rambling a bit, but the new theme looks really cool! Nice job on the banner Mooncow!

The day is now over, and I have turned off the style override feature.
If you prefer any of the other styles feel free to change it in your profile!

A few of you may have noticed new items in the Black Market. Well, what happened was that the truck delivering the items was hijacked by a bunch of Dark Chao.

Originally we thought that Torro was behind it all, but after finding out he wasn't, Torro managed to catch the offenders.

The owner of the black market agreed for us to keep the items salvaged, so we put the Christmas items into the advent calendar!

don't worry, we have had spies tracking Trigger1 since he joined, and we are able to predict his every move.

He was not the culprit, and probably just trying to steal some tainted fame =)

Nothing to worry about, we have Chao Island totally under control. Any problems in the system will most likely be caused by Torro.
