Mod Pheonix, i am a big fan of you and all mods, but please tell us where you will be present so we can all come and hang out with you and at least try for the code. Thank you and apologies for ranting. (Even thought it might have been deserved)
Please respond

Dear Mod Phoenix,

Thanks for hosting a party but, in all honesty, the event was a fiasco. Great idea, poor execution. I don't know if this is possible, but for future events you should probably make it the event site a temporary no follower zone. It would also be a good idea to temporarily prevent players from placing vexillums or cannons on the ground.

Almost every single person had a follower or clan avatar with them making it impossible to see anything other than yaks, tortoises, baby dragons and sky pouncer's. There were so many pets and followers standing around that I didn't even realize there were dancers until I walked over to the fisherman to check on the the time of the next fish flingers game and got a glimpse of some south of Draynor Square. By the way, the carnival dancers were hilarious, nice touch.

Ultimately your party was a victim of its own success. That many people crowded into such a small space made it unenjoyable. If you could enlist the help of another Mod and host a simultaneous party in another city, it might ease the burden on the server.

Thanks for trying and Happy Birthday RuneScape,

Rune Shyster

"I know it is difficult to be the first who redeems the code and thus gets the reward so I always announce I'll be giving the code out."
That's not really the issue - the problem is that due to all the familiars/cannons, the Jmod's avatar never loads unless you stand next to it (several of the spawns don't either), and as such none of the text ever loads either - those nearby are made aware, but those just a couple spaces away don't see the announcement, the code, or any other text from you for that matter. It's hard enough to even find the Jmod to be able to see any text from them even if you don't care about the runecoins due to familiars/cannons.

For actually entering the codes, they're easily invalid within 3-5 seconds of being told, so if you're not already in the code entry interface, using Diango is pointless because they'll be gone by the time you reach the code entry part...but of course for the majority of players you can't see the code from the Jmod in that case unless the Jmod stands next to Diango as well.
As mentioned previously in the thread, there's faster ways, and only those using one of the faster website based methods or using diango already in the entry panel with a top-of-the-line computer really stand a chance of getting them, beyond that it's a pretty fair fight between the people that actually have a chance though.

There's far too few codes compared to amount of people too really considering that it seems to be the only thing being handed out as part of the celebration...further exaggerated by the fact that some people have gotten several codes while the vast majority have gotten none - chances are that under 0.5% of players that turn up to these events will actually get anything.

There's also 3 codes per event, supposedly - I didn't even see 1 this last event, but there was certainly 3 in the f2p event prior to it. Not every player is actually after the runecoins either, though I can't imagine many are enjoying these regardless due to lag and lack of characters or text even loading due to the sheer number of followers. The f2p one was good - this one was terrible, and it's pretty clear what the cause is too.
