Definitely seeing Minas Tirith rebuilt - So tired of choosing between "doom and gloom" and "mostly rubble" versions.

The music is my favorite part especially the opera part.

SSG did a great job on this festival. I guess they've done enough of them over the years that they've gotten pretty good at it. The few inevitable problems were mitigated pretty quickly and effectively.

My favorite part is the sunlight in Minas Tirith.

What, no "In the News!" section?

[Holytoe]

With recent server access issues, I suspect Arwen is having second thoughts. j/k

[Cloudshade]

My favorite event and festival ever! The variety of quests makes the daily 10 quest wrapper fun and it doesn't feel monotonous or repetitive as some other festivals can get towards the end. I just about have all the pets, emotes, and fireworks for all my 8 characters and I'm now a Minas Tirith navigation expert! Name it and I'll tell you where it's at! Great work SSG! /cheer and a /toast.

The feast in Merethrond!

[Danielthor]

Minas Tirith is phenomenal! Excellent work!

[Vikarr]

Here's to 500 LP!

[NellBladewalker]

Minas Tirith! It is absolutely beautiful!!!! Kinda makes up for all days, weeks, months questing and deeding there before....just kinda though lol! You did an excellent job!!!!! I love it now!

[SilverHug]

The Beauty of Minas Tirith! The beautiful, wonderful wedding ceremony! The wedding Feast and all of the characters you can mingle with! The gathering of the Dunedain!

[Sheef93]

Grimbeorn and the dogs making their late arrival at the wedding feast

Downtime is good for self-reflection.

lots of food!

[auximenes]

Hard to choose between the actual wedding ceremony and the after-ceremony banquet but... I'll go with the banquet.

If this is an annual event, will they get "married again" next year, will they just be "renewing their vows", or will they have to file for divorce first, and if so, in which real would the litigation take place, and who would provide representation? Because I might know a guy.....

[Starvark]

Kind of a mercenary thought, but: I am darned pleased with the amount and variety of rewards for doing all the quests! Arwen's dinner dress is lovely; the many horses... the various housing items!

I would love a fancy Minas Tirith doormat, or just a couple more options in general.

Wondering if the days of the festival will be extended a bit due to many of us being unable to play due to server issues? Hoping so!

Thanks, and take care.

I loved Minas Tirith during the festival

[Saelorion]

Seeing Minas Tirith rebuilt (hint at another phase year round /nudges elbow slightly) and having joy around instead of orcs and/or destruction has been very enjoyable. I am glad the music variants/instrument changes of favorite themes we've enjoyed for years was added to festival vendor was added, installed it right away. Now if we could get Gondor feast table with food added so to end fighting with limited hooks for individual pieces to set a table

[Eivrim]

The wedding, banquet and festival are magnificent. Love all the flowers and shinny atmosphere but what I love the most is the music. Thank you for doing this.
And also thank you for the Town services item, it's awesome! and the crafting one too, both really great. I don't know why is not like a passive skill but even if we have to renew them they are very much appreciated.

[Erthallan]

We understand there are issues with servers. Please consider extending the festival due to that and do consider to give something back to VIP players who are paying for this service once the servers are ''fixed''.

Thank you.

So many things are may favorites, the wine tasting for example, both emote and the quest (love all those reactions you get as you sample the wine).
