Oh gosh I'm so nervous, I hope they worked everything out! I WANT TO PLAY!
If you give away gold bars, someone will complain they're too heavy.

I'm excited. When it first debuted years ago I got to play part of a round before it bugged out so I didn't get a title. I wrongly assumed it would get fixed for the next festival like most festival issues so I didn't even try to play again.
I know what I'm doing with my day off now.

This game is the whole reason chickens wish they could fly further.

Is the chicken ball a festival quest or permanent?

He'll be at the right spot to just start it when I log in tomorrow.

I think Sapience said during Landroval's livestream today that it would be like the treasure hunt, not a regular predictable event like seasonal festivals. Originally Posted by Aedelric2

Perhaps an in game announcement might not go amiss? Global channels aside, there seems to be little awareness - we currently don't have enough to fill one field.

I'm seeing the same thing on my server. Nobody knows about it and the fields are all empty. The rewards for the event look neat and it'd be nice to get some of them. Originally Posted by Xandarien_PoTI

You could probably ask other players in the regional channel or the GLFF in the meantime.

Just had a game of it. Was quite fun(although the chicken got stuck on the wall for a while).
Unfortunately, whoever decides the vendor reward prices has no grip on reality. The vast majority of the stuff will not be obtainable without shelling out hundreds of MC on boosts, and even then you'll be at it day and night.

I honestly don't know what to think about this...
On the one hand I know it's just a game and those aren't real chickens.
On the other... it's kinda glorifying animal abuse.
"Hey! Let's all go kick a chicken through hoops! It sounds like great fun doesn't it?!"
And so the Bree Land chicken tossing game was invented.
And before someone knee-jerk-posts to this, I am not asking to have the event removed or anything of the sort.
