OMG!!!!!
I just learned the secret thanks to someone who had the decency to share information:
Run ppl who have NOT run the mansion before!!!!!
Try it; me and fish.i just did and BINGO!!! Prize.
Now I need to go out for a walk before I puke from being so mad that there WERE ppl who knew the catch, and did NOT have the decency to share with other players.
GREEDY NASTY LITTLE PIGS THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well that's just awful! All the way around!
First of all, I ran the ghost hunt to get the cat. I don't have a ton of clones, which means no characters that didn't get the previous ghost hunt prize. I refuse to make more clones, just to get the pumpkin/cat thing. That's just wrong of VFK to have it bugged like this.
Furthermore, I was up til like 3AM last night. My own fault, but regardless... I had sent a few help reports to vfk telling them the new prize was NOT in the Mansion. There were a lot of other players that weren't awarded either, we were all wandering around like huh???, especially since the Event Calendar said it should have been a new prize for finding 13-ghosts -- not random. VFK sent me 2 messages back, saying that it was working and to try again. I'm going to post them. Because now I'm just furious. They never said IT WAS RANDOM! They acted like it was a new ghost hunt prize like normal and it should work, and that they were working on it -- since it still didn't.
LOTS of players don't have access or are not a member of a VFK fan forum site. They are going by just hearsay, or by what the VFK CALENDAR SAYS - NEW GHOST HUNT PRIZE. This is VERY UNFAIR that it is now a random thing.
ETA: Here are VFK Responses from last night, and today (I'm surprised they even answered me, some of the responses were duplicates too): For the record, I wasn't in the middle of a ghost hunt. I had completed it, got the block. Refreshed, cleared cache and tried again.
