I felt inspired this morning to parody this song, due to the really cool Christmas themed gift in Monsterwood today.
;)

O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
Why are you
In Monsterwood?
I'd rather have
Burotgor cells.
Level 6 speed runes
Would be really swell.
O Christmas Tree,
O Christmas Tree,
Why are you
In Monsterwood!!!

Surely this Christmas Tree is the best island decoration yet!? Right?
I must be able to trade it for some monster in the future that will will show up on Christmas Day? Right? No?
Well then I must be able to sell it for elementium? No?
...Gems? No?
.......Lots of gold? Yes. YAY!
What, its worth less than a Petal Cone?! REALLY!?
....
:(
Krampus must have picked this idea.

On a serious note, it was OK to put useless decorations into Monsterwood when all we were getting was gems, because then 90% of what you were getting was what you were looking for.

Now that you have loaded up Monsterwood with food and gold, adding in ANY decoration is just adding insult to injury. SP you REALLY dropped the ball on something really simple.

You make it sound like the first time they've put decorations in MW, but it isn't. The wishing well and Vlad's mausoleum were given to us that way. Personally, I'm more upset about them redecorating our interface. MW is where the Zeppelin was, zeppelin is where Faunus was, guardians all stacked up on the far right... If something isn't broken, fix it anyway.

I like the new artwork for gems, gold, and food.

But I am not interested in the Xmas tree. Why not give us cells for Xmas monsters, even for trash like Rodolph and Firus?

I sometimes think SP drink way too much sangria during their siestas; their motives make no sense.

If they're drinking while they're sleeping, I could understand. Think you meant fiesta, LOL

But that was when we were still getting gems. So I didn't mind that odd bit of useless decoration, because 90% of what I was getting was gems.

Now 90% of what I get is close to useless. The gold amount is like spitting in the wind. The food is like giving me a sandwich for Christmas. It is nice, but it isn't the equivalent of the gems.

That is a classic problem with programmers. Refactoring is the bane of all software products, because there is ALWAYS the chance that they break something.

A lot of people in the world would kill you to have that sandwich. Matter of fact, my expected plans for the holiday fell apart, and my Christmas dinner may just be a sandwich.

That is indeed quite true. That is something that I try to remember. Fasting usually reminds me of that.

I am sorry to hear that. I would splurge and get some nice even if it is just for yourself.

@Clackers I actually had a good laugh...

I might place all of the trees I have now and and create a little winter wonderland. Just got my first set of ornaments or whatever it is they are.

I got part one but out of three times of doing Monsterwood have not received 1 part 2. Anyone else having this problem? Although it doesn't matter I really don't care if I get Christmas trees it is just weird I have not received 1 part 2 out of 2 or three rounds with monsterwood. All I have been getting is food and gold.

@Suzznee I think I have 2, but have decided that I don't really care about Monsterwood with the current reward scheme, so I only do it when I have ABSOLUTELY nothing else to do.

I'd have been happier with the food or gold. I've gotten 4 of each. One set would suffice.

@Suzznee
i got 11 tree and 5 from part 2 . i feel they are less than the tree itself and even since part 2 i didn't get any gems only food and gold

@Haka-Taka not that it matters but I have still got nothing. And no gems just food and gold from part 2

@Kaiju Great verse. Does anyone use the decorations? When I had nothing better to do spread some around but over that aberration. What about all the statues from premiere dungeons. Don't get that either. Is there any point to extraneous stuff?

Once you have all your habitats where you want them, there is usually a few empty areas too small for habitats scattered around, I put some of the decorations there. I certainly wouldn't store a habitat to make room for a Christmas tree and bicycle.

@shazzy SP earn most of their revenue from Monsterwood, but they don't want to give us anything relevant (well, not all the time anyway), so that is why we get xmas trees and other paraphernalia.

I don't watch MW ads anymore unless there is a chance of a monster or good cells. I am not interested in food and gold.
