Yay! Snow Storm !!
Is that 99999 for those borders in the shop a placeholder cost? Is it even possible to reach anywhere near that amount during the event?
Also I don't have any funny gifs, but if anybody has any spare snowballs, I could use a few.
Yes, they are placeholders. They will get proper costs at some point, currently they were only available from our Christmas gifts.
I opened my gifts, but the shop doesn't say I already have them. I see I do have those borders in account management.
I hope there won't be any possibility of someone who already had them from the gifts purchasing them from the shop and simply wasting their snowflakes.
Once they become "regular" priced, they'll display as owned for everyone. Its a query I need to run that hasn't been created yet :D
Seeing as you asked nicely...
You hit me?! Revenge!
I see you, Alleria.
I'm watching.
It´s all right, mate :) I ain´t affraid of little friendly competition :D
I'll probaby regret asking, but what the heck is this?
Yea, got carried away with too many gifs without actually watching the whole thing x_x
JUST GIVE ME YOUR SNOWBALLS!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly my thinking, but I guess it has something to do with the last/first? words on the gif: "Hit me with your best shot"
KA-ME-HA-ME-HA-SNOWBALL !! ❄️
