This ought to be a fun event. I am a bit concerned about more gold coming easily into the game, but time will tell. Will there ever be an additional use for excess aether energy? Perhaps construct hearts can be forged with 2500 aether. Or additional skill points for 75k, 100k, 150k, 300k.... Maybe once skill points are complete we can dump Aether for 1 food per which could combat inflation (although it wouldn't do anything for revenue). Currently the number of players that have finished the Aether skill points is growing, almost as fast as the aether in my inventory!
I know development is pretty much done with PK but perhaps a couple minor tweaks could still come about.
