According to the login blurb Ebon Gate is now open, but none of the items it says are required to access the various bits of it are in the Simucoin shop.

In the absence of any information to the contrary, (or indeed any announcement at all) I had assumed the cheapest pass mentioned at login would be required for access to the island.

I have that folder on ignore. There are separate folders for announcements that I do watch but I don't want to wade through the aggravation of endless teasers for items I have absolutely no chance of acquiring so the event folders generally get set to ignore.

How awfully snide of you to say.

Wyrom's post titled "Ebon Gate Dates and Pricing Information" was not posted as an official announcement and probably should have been.

Your tone is confrontational. There's no need for you to take on an air of superiority.

Have a great day.

I routinely ignore whole stacks of folders, but then if someone posts about something interesting or makes a comment, I can always open up the referenced folder and search for what I desire to read.
(Usually, "simu-%" or "gs4-%" in the 'author' box at the top... cuts down on noise.)

I don't even have to inflict upon myself a single non-staff message, since clicking on the 'Folder' title displays the start/end message number + 'author' boxes for letting me go search.
