Hi Amy, I've only seen certain events post Convention times ahead of time, like the "The Howling" conventions around Halloween, and the Special Advent Holiday conventions in December of last year.

 

I personally am a big fan of posting the convention times AHEAD OF TIME, regardless of the event.  And not just for special events - it would be nice to know all of the convention times, ahead of time.

 

While your post is more of a general question specific to next week, this subject has been moved to the SUGGESTIONS and DISCUSSIONS forum, and I will forward it as a suggestion to the staff team.

For the Temple Task, why would there be a Convention for players who are level 150 and up ?
Not really fair to those lower level players who are looking to help our studio out for Temple Points.

Far as I know, Conventions are for everyone. Just the timing of being available to do them is a lil tricky. I haven't seen/was able to make them in a couple days or so.  :)

Amy, sort of.  Conventions are open to any player that has...

 

1. unlocked the area where the convention is being held and

2. is online at the time while conventions are happening.  Which does make them tricky.  (smug)

 

 

Fetwolf, I understand... and your point has been made in other threads.  I am not going to merge this comment with those.

 

While it is true that conducting convention showings will help your studio earn Temple points during Temple-Convention weeks, it is also true that if a convention takes place in an area that remains locked, (for example, The Beverly Humps area unlocks at level 200) then those players under that level will not be able to attend.

 

You've stated this is unfair. To counter, I believe this is why some special event conventions are only held in Tellville, because everyone has access to this area.  Still, I commiserate your point, especially during Temple Convention week challenge.

 

As for Conventions in general, every area has it's own "style" or "brand" of convention. First place prizes for these area-conventions are generally tied to a collectible item which makes winning them exciting especially if you just won a new collectible item.

 

And while the not knowing when and where most conventions are happening (until they are happening) can be exasperating for most players, I would be happy to field suggestions on how conventions can be "more fair" to all.  Just post a suggestion below.

 

 

Thank you to all that have contributed to this thread...

Quite agree with Fetwolf, unfair to those "Newbies" and mid established players, who are often online to participate for their Studio ( be it a small studio without many resources). Convention times should be posted!!!

There is a counterpoint argument.

 

In the bad old days, if convention times were posted, no one but Dommeat would ever win a convention.  

In the bad current days, no one but Flipmo will.
