The Ice Caves in Biala Mountain has been updated. All players that have completed the Christmas Treasure Map and have access to this feature can now use the new and improved Ice Caves. The artwork has been updated, MP payouts have been increased and you can now earn between 1 and 3 Magic Stats. There are 36 new gourmet Glow Worms that can only be won from the Ice Caves. These can be used to feed fish at the Aquarium. You may also win one of ten new Glowing Eggs, a Sugar Cube and a Photo!









I think a goal made me complete this map and I never really used the cave much after because there weren't really any prizes, so this is nice. :)

Another re-release of those retired pieces might be a nice idea, though, for the new players. Maybe like every Christmas/winter?
Thank You

@Melissa That's fine and all! I'm not complaining that retired and HTG stuff exists. I'm specifically irked that, again, a retired/cash/pay-to-win facet was added to a feature that previously was accessible to all users.

Maybe I misread, I don't know. I'm specifically lamenting that older/richer users may have just gained another advantage over newer/poorer/less active users in a place where the playing field was previously pretty even. That's all! Retired items certainly have a place on petsites and I'm not arguing that they don't. Just that making a free feature less free is kind of :/

Again, I could [i]totally[/i] be misreading here. All I have to go on is that it says "These can be used to feed fish at the Aquarium." which seems pretty clear-cut, but I could be wrong.

Thank you for updating this map! Even the artwork is shiny and new. I am so excited about this and have been hoping for a revamp for a while!

I am hoping these glow worms will be super common, but it seems a bit weird to use them for Aquarium Quests right now when there are few/none in circulation. And since people can only do the quest once every 16 hours, it doesn't seem like supply will keep up with demand. At least not for the foreseeable future, while people rush to get them as gourmets.

I hope that maybe there will be more opportunities to gain scholarships since there's such a demand for them. Perhaps a -small- chance of earning one from completing a school course or from doing a job from the Freelance Agency. That would be a nice surprise.

I think I wouldn't be miffed about putting inacessable-to-some worms on the fish if you upped the fish by as many as want them. There is going to be an increase in competition for accessible fish now. It lowers my odds of having a fish want the worms I have/can get. same number of fish divided by the increced ammount of worms, and some that aren't accessable...:mad:

@icewolf2 Yeah, your post was...very hard to follow, sorry. But it sounded gloaty and rather unsportsmanlike from what I could gather. Poor form, I think.


I'm all for the fish requesting the glowing worms being additional fish!

Again. The complaint is [b][u]NOT[/b][/u]: 'wah wah new user not have thing old user MEAN wah :'( :'( :'(',
it's:

'ah gee, they seem to be unbalancing an [i]existing, previously balanced feature[/i] potentially heavily in favor of older players or players who could/can acquire a set of items, which, from a gameplay standpoint, isn't terribly ideal.'


But you know, we [i]could[/i] just continue to make this a chest-thumping match about who's better because they're older and/or had the foresight and opportunity to get the map, I guess. :rolleyes:
