You kill 7 turkeys and thats it? Really?

Not like it happened last year or anything.

Yup. First thanksgiving tons of turkeys all around RuneScape which drop food equivilant to lobbies.

 

The last two years... you kill a few turkeys in an isolated pen in lumbridge and that's it. You don't even get any turkey.

Moved to the more appropriate forum of rants.

OMFG you spoiled it >:[[[[[[[[[[[

No fair; I had to kill 11

Well, considering that Thanksgiving is an American holiday (we have it in Canada too, but it's in October), I personally believe that this is more then enough. It's good that Jagex recognises that the USA makes up a good chunk of the players, but it's still not worth having a whole unique event every year.

Personally, I think it's a conspiracy.

 

Jagex didn't make a good Thanksgiving event, because this year's updates, mostly, sucked so hard, so there's nothing to give thanks for :P

Was there supposed to be a reward?

@leyenda, Only reward is the emote if you didn't get it last year.

I'd've preferred no Thanksgiving event than the same one from last year.

in my opinion, the title applies to all of runescape's holiday events

You didn't even get any xp for killing the turkeys. The only good thing about the event is that you get to hit 2000's on stuff :)

It's only there so people have a chance for the emote. They'd cry otherwise.

It's a tiny event for an emote. Get over yourself.

Worst thing is, for those that HAVE done it last year, we can't do it again... :(

 

I enjoyed killing the turkeys though, hitting massive numbers were fun. (You can do that in A Soul's Bane too, but only during the quest...)

Just mentioning getting the same holiday event 2 years in a row puts me on your cabbage list? I feel honored, yet coldly alone under your attention.

The Thanksgiving event is along the lines of the flowers that Jagex does now in Spring. It's such a minuscule thing that arguing over any facet of it is ultimately inconsequential. It's a short distraction for new players in Thanksgiving to get an emote, and trying to make it into anything bigger is just a major waste of time and thought. Think of it like a quest that is only available seasonally. You can only do it once like any other quest, but it is only available for a limited time.

 

I did the event in 2008, got the emote and the Cornucopia. I had no idea that they didn't bring back the cornucopia this year or last year, although it is an extremely rare drop from chickens.

There's also that cornucopia thing, but I guess that doesn't really count since you can get it outside of Thanksgiving, but whatever, Christmas is only a month away :\

I've grown tired of holiday events. In my opinion, cut it down to the big three, actually make them good and yeah, that would improve.

 

Although I surprisingly found Halloween alright this year, better than others.
