I got it! I was trying to get ready for work (naturally i slept through my alarm), running from the computer to the hair straighteners and back again.

I just stood and refreshed for 1 whole minute, ignoring the horrid lag then logged off, finished my hair and ran for the bus.

Luckily, it all paid off and when i checked my account i had it!

*does the happy dance*

I suppose there's next year.


That's so annoying.....I can share your pain, the connection does fail you at crucial moments, doesn't it... :hug: Good Luck next year!

We'll have to both set our alarms, I always sleep till late but I'll make an exception :P


Aha! I got home from my celebrations at about 4:30am, sleapt for a couple of hours, got up clicked, got the sidebar in time to make my partner a brew ready for work! Job's a good 'un!

I could've stayed up to get it, but went to sleep instead. XD; It'd just be another number on my lookup, and I don't really care enough to want it. ^^' I like my Altador sidebar well enough.

ahh, there was horrible lag XD; luckily I refreshed on my main the second before the lag started. I'm so happy, I can almost forget missing the Cyodrake's Gaze one..

I went to bed last year instead of getting the sidebar but this year my mom really wanted it so I got up at 2:50 am and called my mom and we both got the sidebar!!! :) I panicked a little because I hit refresh and the page went blank for a good few seconds. Everyone and their brother was on at that one moment.

i got it last night too. i went to bed than set my alarm and got up at 1:50 to get it :D my page was blank for almost the full minute! i suppose every single person who was on neo refreshed at that moment, they had a lot of people to give the sidebar too....=/

You know what... I missed it :(

I refreshed at 11:58, just to get to a page... and then my boyfriend came into the room and I sat happily looking at the clock ticking upwards from 11:59:30 and said to him "30 seconds to go!!!".

And then cheerfully refreshed when it ticked over to 12:00... :cry:
It was like... a stupid weird brain lapse *sigh*

Aw, I missed it! I tried to come to the forum on Halloween but it was full or something because it kept saying that it was creating a new session. Really though I went to bed at ten and since I had work today I would not have wanted to stay up that late for a sidebar. I think it would be kinder to give it to everyone all day, or if that's too easy, then all day but only if the visit Edna or some secret clickable.

I accidentally slept through the alarm I set for 2:55 AM for the 3rd year in a row. Hopefully it will be available as a Haunted Woods Plot prize?
