Any new contests on the horizon?
« on: August 03, 2015, 10:44:17 PM »
On one hand, I sure could use some additional motivation, like a deadline, to finish this house up. On the other, I'd love to be check out others creations. So it'd be a win/win for me.
Waiting as patiently as I can :D

I can see about putting together a housing contest in the not so distant future.

However, I don't see me organizing any other types of contests for a while at least. The last round of contests we did, had some people complaining about them. Specifically, complaining about the difficulty of some of the images in our "guess that zone" screen shot contest. I can put up with a good bit, but this was an ongoing thing. I put in a lot of time to organize these contests (especially the screen shot ones - it took a lot of time to code that system and test it for bugs and anti cheating), and I don't get or ask anything from them. I do it because I enjoy helping the EQ players have a good time, and win some cool prizes. But when people are unappreciative and just complain, it takes the fun and motivation out of it for me.

Sorry for the rant, you have been nothing but supportive and I do appreciate that. I haven't had any complaints about the housing contests, so I'll see if I can put one together towards the end of the month. Don't hold me to that tho!

I guess everyone is a critic.
Well, I am glad to hear you are up for another housing contest. At least housing gets some love from somewhere. (Won't go off on my own rant). I enjoy housing greatly and hope my creations, as few and far between as they are, are enjoyed by visitors. Your housing contests are enjoyed greatly by me.
I've thought of doing some kind of housing contest myself, but I enjoy participating too much. And then there are the prizes, not sure how many prizes I could afford to supply. Plus I'd have to round up help to judge, as I wouldn't like to be the lone judge. Your generosity is appreciated.
Tis too bad that EQ1 housing doesn't get anywhere near the love from DB as EQ2.

While waiting for you to find the time to swing another housing contest, I will probably start on my next house. Just can't seem to wrap this one up w/out a kick in the rear.

Thanks again for all the previous ones and the ones yet to come. Hope you don't ever have to pull the plug on em, they certainly help keep housing going.

Thanks for your kind words, Yannie!

We won't be doing a Halloween Housing contest, unfortunately, as this will be during Beta time...which is VERY chaotic for us and eats literally every spare minute we have, getting the site ready for the new content. We are actually already doing a lot of backend work in preparation for the new content!

We WILL be doing a Holiday Housing contest, however! Expect that in early December, and will probably run through the beginning of January.
