Before the event, and not during it? What's the reasoning behind the bonus SP only applying to people who boost before the starting downtime, instead of the ending downtime?
A blue tag would be appreciated.

they set a day for the boosters to be active and that's that. But why alienate people who are willing to spend?
What difference does it make if it's activated the minute before the event starts, or the minute before the event ends?

as for alienating please explain how it's alienating, if you are willing to spend what is stopping you from activating it on friday? I can't buy it till Friday 2-4pm EST.
I just don't see how it makes any difference. You still have to play to qualify for the bonus. It's not like activating it friday is any different than activating it sunday other than whatever random reason CCP has.
I don't know sometimes.

I don't know sometimes. if you haven't gotten the free 3 day booster from the news letter you could grab that I suppose. I got that long ago.
This has just been a very frustrating couple of days with this game. I honestly don't know why I bother sometimes.

As for not being able to afford it, I have no way of getting the funds into my account until tomorrow afternoon. Period. Whatever. It's just the dumbest ****. 12 thousand likes? Really..... Anything under 9,001 is worthless, anything over, pointless.

Have you asked a dev? The wording is so confusing. The original post makes it seem like any time after fridays downtime. Logibro makes it seem like a few hours after this coming downtime. Support said anytime before downtime. Saberwing said anytime before Saturday downtime

Will get proper clarification for you. If you want to get the booster bonus from the Million Clone Challenge event this weekend, make sure you install the booster you want to use on your character sometime during Friday, March 14 and it will work. Thats all I needed to hear, thank you both for the help and clarification, its very much appreciated.

This answer is not enough. I activated my 3-day Omega yesterday, Thursday. Will I be eligible for boosted rewards? Your booster just has to be active at some point today, even if it was activated early.
Hopefully they confirm it here just for confirmations sake but you should be fine.

The only thing I can think of is that they have to put it into a script or something. I really think it would be better to just let people buy and activate boosters up until the event ends, but who knows.
I'm happy that when I buy and activate my booster a bit later today it will still qualify, but it's kind of a bummer to people who's schedules don't quite line up. If nothing else it would be nice for fringe cases to be able to email CCP to be included in the event once they've activated a booster.
