  Eventually it gets to the point where you follow a mob of people to know what the right answer is. It's too bad. You get a ticket per right answer, so even if you don't get to the last question, you'll get tickets.
  Also, some people are only doing the events for the boxes you get from getting the entire set of questions right. Tickets aren't too hard to buy from other players. I remember buying last time for 1K each.

  
  So the tickets are trade-able? xD And can you claim the 777 ticket pets multiple times per single account?
  
  And dam I hope that's all they cost around that price on Alexina, even 2-3k each would be cheap considering the reward.

  You realize with the inflation and the overwhelming usefulness of this pet, that i wouldnt doubt if tickets broke 100k each.

  They won't. Non-silver ores have fallen back to around 5k tops, at least on Mari. Last time this event happened the ores were around 1-2k, silver included. I suspect we'll be seeing 5-6k per ticket. I suspect the most abuse we'll see for the event are people duping the tickets to give their alts 1-3 horses per account.
  
  @Axii: You can have as many horses per account as you have non-pet characters. Each character can turn in tickets for a pet one time only. So, having the standard giant/human/elf setup most accounts have these days will net you 3 horses, more if you have other characters on that account. But you'll need 777 tickets per horse. Assuming you do the mounted giant setup and get through all 30 questions on each quiz, you'll need 13 complete wins minimum. 26 if you don't mount, more if you don't get all 30 right every time.

  It's not too hard to avoid the guards. It can actually be kind of fun, having them there and still winning. >D
  But yeah, I don't really want to get off my main to do this. My elf moves faster, in case of lag. Dx

  People will make alt accounts.
  or mule accounts.
  
  Personally. for the first few days possibly a week. I expect prices will be very high.

  The difficulty is never in avoiding the guards. It's in avoiding them and still making it to the correct answer spot, all without being able to use skills, including play dead and/or hide. :p
  
  Then there's all the hot-air balloon sabotage. Of course, this one is negated with the implementation of directional key movement, although ninja giant guards hiding in the balloons will likely spice up the difficulty a bit. Ah, well. I'm giant-allied anyway. XD

  Oh speaking of old events, didn't the first OX event cause the title glitch?

  Not that I recall. I think that glitch came shortly after the event though.

  I don't know if that was coincidental at the time, or what.

  I know, because that's exactly what I did.

  Yay! So I stocked up 50+ coins on my giant to turn in today for nothing! <3 XD Oh well, hopefully they'll fix the friends list...hopefully.

  It's not too late to turn them in. The lag is gone. Probably because most people have gone to sleep by now. Most lagless sprite hunt ever.

  Ores aren't a good indicator of the economy. Very few people need/want them, while bots are constantly farming them.
  
  On Ruairi, ores were around 5k back then, and they're like 10k now. Holy Water was 15k, now its like 40k. Contrarily, Arat Crystals were 8k, and are still around 8k now. Likewise Fine Leather has remained at 10k.
  
  Most people only cared about the Bull pet as a mule, since they're practically worthless. Tickets near the end of the event still went for 5-10k. I won't be surprised if they stay around 5-50k per ticket now.
