I had another thought, and that is that when Sony or our developers try something different (Tikiween) people complain, when they do things the same (Winter space 2010) people complain, etc, etc. People just want to complain and not appreciate, and it saddens me even more at this time of year.

Home is NOT free and won’t be. Not everyone will like everything. If you don’t like something, offer constructive comments, not generic complaints. Grow up. /end rant

Merry Christmas (if you celebrate it) and Happy New Year to you all!

Oh yeah, I tried the skating as well. Definitely a cute feature in the space.

I’m not going to knock the Holiday space. It’s something a little different and it’s free. Not that I’ve taken a poll, but I’d assume that the people on the Forum complaining about this free event are the same ones who complained about having to pay for Xi. And probably the same ones who complain about most everything else. They want the games, the rewards, the moon and the kitchen sink. And they want them for free.

All that said, I’m fairly neutral about the space itself. I’m not upset about it but the rewards and games didn’t really interest me much. The space doesn’t wreak of neglect or disdain from the Home team as some would suggest. The effort was there but the results are a little too quirky to appeal to the masses, I guess.

I visited the space a couple times and thought it looked nice. I tried the kissing game once and enjoyed a sleigh ride. The games, quests and rewards at the past 2 Winter Wonderland events were superior. C’est la vie.

I must say my first impression wasn’t very good. Esspecialy with the santa ride and the “eating game”…
I wasn’t impressed with the idea of mask either, until I saw the higer level ones! This is a neat reward idea. Something we don’t already have a dozen in storage already and some of them look really good.
I gave the space a second chance and I must say it’s not bad at all.
Good review.

im glad they did it this way, after 4 years ive collected enough reward turkeys, and christmas trees. looks like they set the activities around the mid 1800’s. which was when a lot of modern day traditions became important including St Nicholas and Christmas Trees before that the celebrations would of been much different.

This is a really good over-view of the Winter festival brought to us by Sony. I’m sorry that it’s under-appreciated by a lot of people.. very vocal people on the forum. The theme there is winter, even if it is from a previous era, and no where did Sony say it was for Christmas. The rewards are beautiful masks that I will enjoy wearing all year. Well written, Phoenix and Thanks, Sony!
