Other Events

The Apology Weekend is set up as compensation for a rollback. Five Apology Weekends have happened so far; the last one happening during the weekend of February 14th, 2019.

During Anniversary Week, Euphoria begins when 5,500 points worth of consumables related to the former (excluding Skyrocket) have been accumulated in a world. All players with at least 200 points of contribution will receive a Golden Party-In-A-Box.

@Aimster holds a racing event at KYDERBY each year, a reference to the Kentucky Kyderby. It is usually hosted by moderators and some non-moderators who run the event for 24 hours. A rare item, the Mint Julep is given out as a prize to the winner of the racing event. The owner of the best race track design is also rewarded a prize. @Aimster chooses the top nine worlds from the forums.

STYX, now a former Moderator, used to hold a Fire Festival, which is a reference to the Philippines fire festival. It was held in the world FIRE, which he later sold as he was no longer a moderator, therefore, discontinuing the event. The prize for the world was a Golden Apple. Since the event is now discontinued, players can now obtain the Golden Apple from Golden Treasure Hoards.

There is always a possibility that another Moderator might request to host an event.
