What happened to Event Island Raffle?
 

Fix it already.

I'd rather use the Events Island one instead of Hataru. But I don't know if it's fixed.

The events island raffle house turned into a school for some reason but the one in Hotaru is just fine.

Well... this is a computer game. There is no reason why they can't make it function as both. Besides... the Hotaru raffle sucks chunks. It'd be more convenient for both the Event Masters and the players if raffle functionality was put back into the Event Island Raffle Room.

Answer:
I don't see why we need 2 raffles rooms. The school is fine for several RP events and will not turn back into a raffle room.

1. It's kinda dark.
2. People crowd the box.
3. Players can attack other players using certain methods.
4. Reasons 2 and 3 are exponentially worse if the player base hates you.

Those problems can be solved by small improvements in the level.

Except, if I recall correctly, the room was never really meant to be used solely as a raffle room.

Could you explain the logic of turning the heavily used Event Island raffle room into a school that is very rarely used?

Yes, because I don't want to see so many raffles being hosted. One raffle room is enough. On the other side I want to give a broad range of different possible opportunities to host interesting events instead of stupid raffles.

Raffles are pretty rarely hosted now only because it's a total pain in the ass to host them. The reason for that is because the good raffle room was turned into a school room. I want to remind you that Graal is a game. In a game, people play to have fun. You may not think giving away items to people at random is fun, but they do. If it's boring/stupid to you, do what I do. Combine raffle with a different event to make it interesting. I remember hosting Monster Survival Raffle a long time ago, and it seemed pretty fun.

I'm going to suggest something. Make the event island raffle room into a multi-purpose room. Make it so you can drag the furniture around and rearrange it. Have a command that toggles focus to the top seat when you sit. Among one of those pieces of furniture in the room, include a raffle box.

Ed give up while your ahead. Once they make up their minds its done right there. And raffle I think is hosted once a week by proto or kyden and I have done it in the past few weeks myself. Do you think that we get that much stuff in our em bags these days? Thats what we have to work with and I for one won't give up my personal items just to please people at these things. If its once a week then the hotaru raffle is fine. But there should be a barrier in place to stop ppl from coming near the yellow box.

It's not alright to surrender to half-assing quality.

no but what are you gonna do?? All you can do is voice your opinion on here. Everyone else doesn't seem to mind hotaru raffle. I have seen many a thing turned down on here.

Ed, you or anybody else can show us a modified hotaru ball and raffle room. I am sure Björn and/or Stefan are open for a renewing.

Funny that for as long as I can remember Sam has wanted us to stop having many raffles yet when I was an EM, thats all people wanted to do.

Why take away what they want?
