I know that it's probably a publicity stunt to keep players on the servers playing but wth? With an event that starts on every hourly dot, it's really tiring. Furthermore, with the event going on for only 17-18 days, and you have really difficult questions per hour...Most people couldn't answer more than half of the questions.
The event only lasts for less than 15 minutes. Sometimes it is already finished in less than 5 minutes.
With that OX event having 777 tickets to collect, you need an average of 50 tickets a day. And no joke, some of the questions are difficult. You might even only survive 0 or 1 rounds only.
If you are good enough to get 10 questions right per round, you need to participate for at least 5 hours for the whole of 2 weeks and half every single day. Which I really think is insane.
Though some consolation is that playing more of the game gives experience on the question and answers, some of the questions are really random, asking things like general knowledge, science or cultural questions (e.g. People make mooncakes on Lunar New Year. True/False? Answer turns out to be true due to a special place that does this. And not many people knew.) There are hardly any repeat questions for general knowledge questions. The in-game questions are sometimes very funny.
It's a really fun event but I wish they did something about the frequency of the events. Some of us can't get enough fun of the event.

I know the prizes are really cool but I doubt I'd bother with it. Sounds like too much of a hassle. Mabi's a game and I want to have fun!
On a side note I actually knew the answer to that mooncake question. Thank you sagwa the chinese siamese cat

It's quite a hassle especially if you want to finish the event within a week, or spread out the timing such that you don't have to go to the event each hour. Right now, the only thing that can be done is to run the event with giant-allied human and giants mules on the event (you can ride on the giant).
This way, if you can manage 10 correct questions on at least 2, you get about 20 tickets per run.
In the best case scenario, you can get up to 120 tickets a run but this is rather demanding. The most questions I could get correct is about 22 and I often have to sacrifice at least one character on difficult questions.
If they made half an hour intervals per session it would be much better.

Nexon and its "OX Quizes"... They're rehashing the same event over different games for 10 years now.

But it's fun. This is why it can continue for 10 years and even more. You know, especially seeing people getting out because of answering the wrong questions (a.k.a. being sadistic), or being together when we are eliminated. The cheery atmosphere is present.

So getting 777 tickets means you'll get what exactly? The nuadha robe/hamlet costume/ox/all items?

What exactly is so exciting about this Ox?
Does it have more inv space than any other pet, special ramming skill, look awesome beyond all description, carry more than 3 people?

Free 6x10 space.
I won't miss out on it, especially when this is a really fun event.

What's fun about it? Is it the game show feel? At first it sounded annoying but you seem to really like it :D

Yup. I do like it.
Only the time frequency part is annoying since switching characters to go to missions in the time within is a bit of a hassle.
And a need to multi-client if you want to get the OX tickets fast. You can buy tickets from other players but I feel that would be a waste of money?
The ox seems to be able to draw aggro just like any other pet even though you get an ox whistle. I haven't made mine yet, so need to test if it can be used in combat. It will be a great event prize for newbies since you get a free pet with enough effort.
