Doll Festival 2008 (02/15/2008)

The 2008 edition of that Far Eastern tradition, the Doll Festival, is just around the corner! Pretty pink flowers will be in full bloom in all three nation's capitals to welcome and delight citizens and visitors alike. Be sure to take extra care not to lose yourself in the refined elegance exuded by Far Eastern-style decorative screens and parasols, kupo.

But that's not all, folks! The MHMU will be sending gifts to all you good boys and girls out there--no, it's not magical rice cakes this year but something even better, kupo. For 2008 we have festival-exclusive furnishings! Liven up your Mog House with your very own "Festival Doll" and "Bonbori" lantern! Trust us; this is bound to be better fun than prancing around as a little girl.

So throw away your inhibitions and join in all the revelry Doll Festival 2008 has to offer, kupo!

How does this even happen?!?!

1. Send stuff to yourself.
2. Return sent stuff to sender.
3. ???
4. Profit.

Yay furnishings! Only thing I really like about the events is getting cool stuff for my house.

It's a storage trick, mail stuff to yourself and cycle through it when you need to get something out. Only problem is that you can lose stuff if there's a glitch in the server or something.

Commonly used on non-stacking craft mats like cheap ores and such I believe

[Evion]

Holy shit I'm gonna try that.

[Ketski]

Wow, best idea ever. I'm totally doing that now. 30 item spaces just isn't enough.
Also, can't wait to get the items :O Probably gonna be my 1st event item ever.

The return to sender trick isn't unlimited. My husband found out the hard way that you can "fill up" your delivery box this way. He tried to send stuff to himself but the service wouldn't let him. So he called a GM and they told him he had to take some stuff out in order to send more. I laughed so hard at him. So I guess they are saying that 256 items is the limit and he had that many! Dang, now thats a pack rat! lol

Thank god for no more rice cakes! lol
