Wheel of Excitement/Pant devil glitch

Wed Sep 29, 2004 11:56 pm

Wondering if anyone else has been having the same experience with this as I have:

Over a year ago, when TNT first enabled getting the Pant Devil as a BD challenger from the WOE, (of course) it glitched hard that first weekend. I had the PD steal something from me that weekend, but didn't get him as a BD challenger - instead I got some strange error like:

Error: could not insert record into bd_

Ok, so I can't remember the exact wording of the error it gave me, but it looked like there was a problem inserting a comment or flag into a database that would've given me the Pant Devil as a challenger.

Several bug reports and more than a year later, I still don't have the PD as an opponent - on an account that is almost two years old. It appears that only people that were lucky/unlucky enough to get him on the WOE that first weekend were the only ones effected by this, as I know many people who got the PD as an opponent via the WOE right after that weekend was over.

I just randomly got him as an opponent yesterday. But, I tried before and whenever I do land on him on the WOE, the wheel doesn't actually spin, the page is just blank. I know it is him because one of my items is missing. I don't get him as a challenger though. :(

The exact same thing also happens to me - I forgot to mention that in my eariler post. I know it's asking a lot for you to remember, but do you remember if you spun the WOE that first weekend?

The first weekend they made it so you could get him as a challenger from it? Uh....I don't remember. This error thing happens whenever I land on him though.

I just landed on him just now and my page was blank but my red sand was gone. I did get him as a challenger through a RE so i don't know if he is gotten through the WoE
