Technical issues

Site & Forum

• There were reports that a Database Error occurred when trying to obtain a photograph from an NPC.

Trivia

• Event items were obtained when a receiver accepted ones message and the sender accepted one back.
• When it came to obtaining the NPC photos, those who could not get them legitimately could just use the URL code for the photos.
• Devin and Vanessa are the only two photos to have a Item:Jumbo Hotdog in them. This is based on a running gag involving the item.
• The forum for this event is no longer present.
