I am sorry for anyone that isn't having a good time. I'm also sorry to those frustrated by the change to the amount of materials coming out. Again, comparing to last year's amounts will be a frustrating experience. Last year was badly broken and should never be used as a point of comparison. It's our fault that the mechs weren't tuned where we wanted when the fest opened, but that doesn't mean we should let broken mechs continue to function. We have people updating shops pretty much every day. There are still daily events outside of the festival happening as well -- big and small. More than ever, I think our event folks have done a great job with the smaller scale, more personalized events for folks reacting to the creatures, visiting altars, etc. Drogor isn't yet pleased, and events are still heading towards...something. There are, amazingly enough, still new things planned to debut at the fest. We're on track to do MORE raffles than the past two years, and alterations look to be roughly similar, maybe a little behind. Past years haven't been particularly different in this regard -- we ramp things up towards the end of the fest with more alterer visits, games, raffles, the auction and more. We're starting to hit that stretch where things pick up. It's certainly your choice if you wish to no longer participate; we won't twist anyone's arm. I think you'll miss out on plenty if you do, though.
