What is secret santa?

Secret santa is a popular winter holiday event in which you are anonymously gifted something without knowing whom got you the gift. Traditionally, everyone gets 1 gift and the gift received is equal in value to what you have given.

The Gift Group categories

-Group A: The gifts given/received are between a 50k-100k, no need to break the bank.

-Group B: The gift given/received are between 250k-500k, for those that wanna spend alittle extra.

Okay, how do I participate?

You need to give your gift to my in game event character SantaEvent as given below. Your gift will be cataloged into the appropriate category and given to someone in your group on December 25th. The time is yet undecided, but I'll let you know by then.

What if there is an odd number in a group?

I will personally buy something as a gift to give so everyone gets something that participates

How will I know when to give you the gift?

If I am online here, I am online in game too.

[/b]I think you're gonna scam us[/b]

I can't really stop you from thinking that, this event is for you guys, and for everyone to have fun.



Special thanks to Argyros for giving the idea for the groups and an excellent way to keep this organised.

No... Secret santa means that every player has to give another player a gift. That other player is randomly assigned.

It would be a massive overhaul and really hard to organize, but with a good 4 person team, I think it could be done.

how about a central group and other players can donate good items as presents?

I suppose that can work, but do you really want 1 person to carry everything?

Setting standards may be difficult. People may just give out trashy pinks and others give out priced pieces. I think a Secret Santa event within a small group of friends would be nice. Very difficult considering the amount of trustworthy and dedicated people in PL. Sorry for the pessimistic view.

Usually a secret Santa has a set amount of gold you can spend on the gift.


I'd say to avoid large scams, a limit of 100-200k should be implemented.

But as sheugokin stated, if it's only amongst a group of trustworthy people such as some here in forums, then the gold limit may be raised.

Great idea tough.

Assuming that the only participants were forum goers, and the event is staffed by 3 trustworthy members and myself, I'm sure it can be worked out who should or should not participate amung the 4 hosts. On my guilds forum, we split the event into 6 categories, 50k, 150k, 300k, 500k, 1m, and 2m+. I and another are in the 2m+ category, however, no one else has said they'd participate :/

Events aren't made on the fears of failure. People thought I couldn't pull off a 500+ item giveaway, but I did it anyways.

Even without support, anything can happen. But if everyone is adamant on being a negative nancy, then you don't need, or have to participate. I suggested this idea because it might be something fun to do, or look forward to, after the failure that was halloween

Who cares if you think so? We are a community and we can make our own fun events.

If you haven't anything constructive to say, I ask you to refrain from posting here.

Hey Anom!

I considered it, and I think it may work. It is worth a shot though. Do you plan on attempting to host it? Or should I host and you help?

I want to host it, but not alone. And if I can get at least one alterian guardian on board, that'd be great. My ideal hosting team is myself and three others

Pl is doomed. Knockador is right. They didn't even try and release Halloween vanity gear this gear.

If you think you can host it, alright. The thread has to be very straightfoward, do you want to handle that? I can do whatever, wether writing the thread itself, or organizing people. I doubt a GoA will help, Crim left, Apollo/other active ones are in Al. You can try to send Mysticaldream a pm...

A good number of people complain how boring it is to play PL, and that there isn't anything to do. Even if devs don't add what you want, I don't see why we, the community, can't do something fun for ourselves.

If we can't get a good amount of people on board within the next couple weeks, then we'd just have to keep the invent to us and others that want to participate. Without a proper team, it'd be very hard to host a large scale project. Wether or not it is small or big I don't care, I just want something fun to do with the community.
