I notice there is no announcement on Grogmanay 2024 - I do how this is taking place as usual! My friend and I have an annual tradition of matching our in game grogs with some real life drinks - makes for a fun night of competing the challenges!
Grogmanay 2024
If it's gone I dunno why it would be.
They threw everything at december to try to get people to login every day, dunno why they wouldn't add one sentimental event to it. It's not like it's some complex event, it's comparable to anything else going on.
It's the only consistent cosmetic design that the game really has.

I’ve waited 4 years to see which direction the 5th notch was going to be , vertically or diagonally, and now the is like this… come on Rare. Us OGs deserve our recognition too.
You cracked the code! They cancelled Grogmanay because they couldn’t decide which way to tick 5 and so the entire art team went on strike as each side was equally as passionate about their stance.

Yep looks like the end of an era and the only explanation I come out with is the inclusion of PS5 players. They have no way of catching up with the rest of us so it seems the devs decided to abandon this custom all together.
It isn't just a notch on the tankerd, Grogmany is also a few challenges that you need to complete to get the tankard (or an extra notch on it). Adding those in again might be deemed a risk - either those not working or it impacts other content added since last year's Grogmanay event - they were not willing to take.
Even the 12 days of Lucky & Gilded voyages were bugged, I got 10-out-of-12 times the message that there weren't any, had to start a voyage on the quest table multiple times (up to a dozen or so) to be able to start those.
@lem0n-curry Sadly that might be the case as well, yet I find it interesting that other elements of SOT that can't be replayed by the new players were just eliminated.
Like the adventures for example, the devs had to cancel a whole sidestory for Briggsy just because of the PS players.

Did they ? I thought they said it took too much development time for something that's just a few weeks live.
@lem0n-curry Yep they did but I don't think the communication with the playerbase was the best during that time. See it's the timing of all these cancelations that makes me suspicious but it might just be a coincidence as well.

Perhaps when you post about a suspicion, make it clear you are and not post it as a fact as you did.

It seems you missed this part of the conversation:

Perhaps read the entire post before passing judgment without having all the facts.
