			Just wondering if I can save my Shade's Eve silver for next year? I asked Wildstar Ops on twitter and they suggesting asking in a thread, and then said "most event currency is usually deleted though, when the event ends."

That's an odd thing to say, since this is the first holiday event WildStar has had, so "usually" does not really apply. It can't be "usual" if this is the first time.
 
That said, since every other game on the market saves holiday currency between years, it only stands to reason that Carbine would delete it. I mean, gotta buck that trend, gotta be edgy and hardcore, don't you know?

			Ops just replied that they are going to poke around and get some more info, so i'll continue holding my breath :)

			Oh well, no harm in asking. Thanks for the reply, Caydiem!

			I recommend spending your Shade Silver before the end of Shade's Eve.

There are other fairly big names that reset their currencies from year to year, Tex. This isn't us bucking a trend. ;)
 
More to the point, there are legitimate design reasons for resetting the currency, giving folks a reason to engage in the content from year to year, particularly if and when we add new rewards.
 
All that said, the fate of Shade Silver has yet to be determined, but for safety's sake I highly recommend spending it this year, just in case.

			I can understand that reasoning. The only reason I asked is that I was used to it rolling over from when i played eq2 and gw2. Didn't even think about it till last night when I was talking with the hubby.

			What's really going to cheese off some players is the event vendor disappearing before they have a chance to spend their event currency.

The only two I can recall playing during events is WoW and DC Universe, both of which save currency from year to year. Hadn't really stuck around any other games long enough to mess with.
----
			Hm, maybe carry the currency for a week after the event, and keep just the vendor around to spend the last of it... post shade's eve sale for all the remaining stuff... maybe even make it half-price like all the Halloween decor stores do the day after to get rid of the odd numbers (7 Shade Silver, since they can't get any more, etc).

Uh, WoW's halloween currency goes away at the end of Hallow's End. Been a long time since I played, but I don't think that's changed.

Today's the 2nd.  Am I too late to spend my whatchamacallits if I don't get online until ~9pm EST?

I err'd on the side of caution and went on a spending spree but it would be nice to have the NPC linger for a week afterwards just to give people a chance to spend what they have.
 
Although I never got much loot from the instance since RNGesus decided my character must have more shoulders than any other character in game with the amount of the same shoulder piece I got. But at least I got my hoverboard and I didn't care too much for all the flair for it so bought some housing items instead.

			What about the event items on the housing vendor? Are they staying or going away when the clock hits midnight?

			Whatever Carbine decides to do they just need to make sure players are warned WELL in advance that the currency is going to get wiped.
