The Calm Before The Winter Storm

[Kathis]

 

As the echoes of Halloween fade into the chilly November breeze, we find ourselves relishing this brief moment of calm before the festive whirlwind of the holiday season. At JellyRO, we believe in savoring each season, so while department stores might rush to deck the halls early, we’re content to wait until December to begin our Christmas cheer. We hope you enjoyed the spooky delights and haunting festivities we've shared this year.

 

Next maintenance is on December 2, 2024!

A Halloween Recap

And short message from Kathis

 

We know that some of you were surprised by the nature of the reward for the Cryptic Cat quest. After navigating clues, deciphering ciphers, and unraveling cryptic messages, the conclusion didn’t come with a physical item. This led some to think the quest might be broken. However, the reward was unique and intangible: much like how potions crafted by ranked Bio/Alchemists have greater effects, your Scatleton pet now has its abilities doubled for that character. While it may not have been explicitly clear, we felt that the mysterious nature of the event was best suited with a subtle reward. Let this be a reminder that everything we create has its purpose. We hope the 114 characters who successfully completed the quest enjoyed the puzzles and their newfound pet enhancement!

 

Pumpkin Ghost Event Results

 

We’ve reviewed all accounts that participated in the Pumpkin Ghost event, cross-referenced forum accounts, and compiled the final results. While many of you participated, only a few met the criteria for prize eligibility. Here are the top performers:

 

Place	Character	Pumpkins Killed	Ghosts Revealed	Ghosts Killed
1	PwnySlaystation	2410	355	356
2	Kaeri	765	113	113
3	ShiroAkuma	16	3	3
4	~CryingPrincess*~	8	2	2

 

Note: We are aware that some players may have experienced issues with the event due to teleporting before their Pumpkin/Ghost kills could be counted. Unfortunately, the server was unable to track those points and attribute them to specific characters. We understand this may have impacted some participants’ final scores.

 

We encouraged you to list your main character on your forum profile, some participants did not, and many did not have a forum account at all. This information is important for prize distribution and helps us identify winners accurately. For transparency, here’s an overview of the total event statistics:

 

Participants without a forum account:

	Pumpkins Killed	Ghosts Revealed	Ghosts Killed
Top record	4175	636	636
Total	20298	2694	2964

 

Participants with a forum account but missing a Main Character:

	Pumpkins Killed	Ghosts Revealed	Ghosts Killed
Top record	4975	738	734
Total	16185	2339	2343

 

Prizes

 

The four players who met the eligibility criteria will be contacted via Rodex mail with instructions on choosing their prize. First place will choose first, followed by second place, and so on. Here’s the prize pool:

 
a)  Special ticket
b)  5750 Auro packet 
c)  4 Jellybeans

d)  1 Prename Scatleton pet.

Thank you all for participating, and we hope you enjoyed the Halloween festivities. Keep an eye out for future events and opportunities to win more fun prizes!

I added my bio as my main, but played the event on my Sniper M i n d y~ How many did she get?

 

[Renpa]

I am confused, my main is listed on my forum account but I farmed on my alt which is also listed. How come they did not appear on the list?  What was the criteria? Also I am curious as to how many I killed 😄

1)  All accounts scores were merged with the same email address.
2) Both Game and Forum Email address must match.
3) The forum needed to have a main-character filled out for the In-Game Information on the forum.

As it stands right now, even looking up profile on the forum and reverse looking up your character. I had seen no account with that email address, were you using alt accounts with different emails addresses?
Ignore that, search on a spread sheet added a weird space, you were listed as "missing a main-character" when I did look up, before the cut-off.

Ah I recall what had happened. A while ago, I tried logging into my forum account that has the the same email as my game login account but I was unable too. I tried resetting the password and no email came so I ended up creating a new forum account and decided to stick with that. 

 

I tried again to reset my old forum account but not email has been received. Didn't think it was a big deal back then but I guess it is now!
