@OswaldtheRabbit This is easily the most amazing compliment I've ever been paid, but it was not just me! It was all of the staff members who volunteered hours this month, everyone who made rooms and prizes, and Amy coding special things for it. It was definitely a group effort. I really do appreciate you words, thank you so much for keeping this thread active with input and ideas and suggestions. I've passed on your kind words to all of the people who have helped this month. As I am writing this reply, I sent it to the staff team, and I think one of our staff members summed it up perfectly: "THAT is what makes it worth it. That's all we want."
@CoralHibiscus Thank you, love! I definitely wish I could've had it on and hosted it 50 times this month, but
it takes a village, as they say. Thanks so much for leaving room for other players! One of the things that came out of this event is the fact the in-game moderators (as I'm sure the rest of the staff) are reviewing our Clone Policies. With Amy's release of the Alpha of the New Client, we're able to do so much more than we could've ever imagined, so we're looking at ways to better even the playing field.
@KarolynD Keep them! We're looking to have some special extra days added in the upcoming months. Keep an eye on the calendar! :]
@Morgan E Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad you had a great time, and I totally agree... seeing everyone working together really made it special!
@SiriuslySaintlike You poor thing, I am so sorry for all of the disconnections last night. It was happening to a LOT of players and I'm not entirely sure why. Had that not have been happening, I think we would've extended longer to loop the queue. Thank you soooo much for your kind words!
@StormDogs @thatcookiewasgood I cannot confirm nor deny whether or not we were discussing both of these dates.....................
cough cough cough cough

As a quick close out to the month and the Jedi Training Event (........for now........) I just wanted to send a very big thank you to everyone who has participated in discussions, attended the event, been patient with us as we figure out issues, and everyone who has left compliments. Seeing the event start as a small idea and snowball into this extensive event that has brought all of our staff members and community together... It has been something extraordinary to witness.
I'll hold off on the mushy words, but I just wanted to personally say THANK YOU. I would've never imagined it to become such a big thing, but here we are! I have loved sharing with you, goofing around with you (where's the Bohemian Rhapsody group from the overflow room?), and discussing ideas and suggestions and solutions to problems with you.
To all of the staff members who have volunteered hours on top of their original commitments, THANK YOU. You are the real superstars and I'll be sending you all a super mushy thing later saying my thank yous and singing praises. I love you guys, you've become family.
