Anyone else have issues with black bar event?

I don't know if it was supposed to end today, but since mait was moved it didn't. But today getting the message like it wasn't reset.

Between that and a few chars didn't get the frog rebuff this morning.


Also wonder if tomorrow ends the activities.


I only wonder cause on 3/19 they said "for the next two weeks", so I would figure we had another week of festivities.


Course all of it can go if we get a PoM event :P

NPC's always reset 6hours before dailies, keep it in mind in the future. Regarding to the frog buff it lasts for 26 hours (I think), pay attention to it.

I had the same problem, I also noticed that the toons that didn't randomly get gashas were not able to redeem from tina's cohorts.

It is not an expiry or daily reset problem.

- tina resets with dailies
- exchange npcs reset at cedric-time (old eu), aka 6hrs before dailies reset

- free gashas drop that was happening at dailies reset time has ended
- frog buff counter that reseted with dailies has ended

- birthday event, considering the certificates exchanges as well as the various events going on will still be up for at least 1 week

- noone knows if garden will be closed..

- i suspect spring rain festival is on way with this maintenance, maybe thats why taking lond. if so it will run on top of the current birthday event

Keep in mind that I believe the NPC's to exchange the black bars too for the good items are PER ACCOUNT, not character. Two of my toons are on the same account, if one turns them in, the other can't.

if we are to believe this: http://us.runesofmagic.gameforge.com/new…ccasion-with-us

Secret Garden should** remain open for another week as well as everything else in the list

**left open ended for RoM not following through on announcement time frames

@ Jguy, yes the exchange npcs r once per account. u can pick the bars from tina with all, but u can exchange only once per account per npc

@acypcar, "if" garden gets closed, it wont be due to the schedule (schedule implies that will last 2 weeks), but will close due to "alts-abuse" instead

1) I do the black bar quests at 6 PM, not around 6 am, so the reset time was NOT the issue. (I already knew about this)
2) I have one main character for most of our accounts, it is NOT that I was doing it on another character. (I already knew about this)
3) the frog buff had 7 hours left on it, when I logged in at 9 am.. then at 11 am, then at 1 pm, then at 3 pm, no buff was relayered. More importantly only 3 characters missed out on it.. All the others got it no problem. (and I already knew about the time off the buffs)

These are not my first time doing this events, Did the black bars first time around with the TBT event, did the frog certs every year.


I hope this doesn't sound agitated... but I wouldn't post something on the forums, without checking the easy stuff first.

And I was getting the message "you cant receive any more black bars today", like they were not reset properly

A very likely reason as well.

I think that will be the case, or they will limit it to once per account like black bars.. that will at least slow people down.

Just be a bit insane if the developers did not think people would run as many alts as they could thru Secret Garden mini. I really think this was an awesome birthday event they gave away a ton of stuff to us for free.

For the most part outside of the plussing gems an alt is never gonna use much of any of the items that are given in the secret garden. Will just end up getting players to possibly spend more diamonds on purchasing Jade Keys, so I really do not think they would remove it just for alt abuse....not like the plus 20 gems are super common nor are they perfects.

Just recently did they not say we could have unlimited accounts? So if they are not still taking into consideration that people ( prob a small crowd to be honest ) will use alt accounts to farm stuff then I would really say they are in the dark. Personally I know the majority of people I play with never touch alts or alt accounts, outside of the rare occasion of events that are limited to one per account( like the black bar events).

yeap people can make as many accounts at they want.

Yeap I don't see many doing it just for the gems. We already had a buncha accounts but all but one of them have 1 char at 84+. The one that doesn't has only a 54 on it... ugh dwarf.


I agree great birthday event, and I really hope some of it will continue- GFeventcastle buffs, Black bars, and chest mini game.. between that dailies, and siege, I will admit they have kept me busy the last week LOL. If they don't continue I will get a lot of my Ubuntu time back, but if they do ill be happy to be busy all day taking advantage of the great stuff :P
