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.

what's the difference if it's before or after?
they set a day for the boosters to be active and that's that.
any booster activated on wednesday ( the standard day to activate on ) would then run to friday which is when it is needed, if the event calced on sunday you'd of had the booster on and it would run out, or you'd have to put off playing on weds-thurs to get the full effect of the booster.
seems more practical the way it is. |

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?

edited that in above.
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 understand that at least that it really makes no difference if they do two checks, but it honestly comes off as nit picking their event, everyone should be able to activate by friday and was well informed prior to the event. |

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.

CCP LogiBro said you could activate your booster/s up to 6 hours after down time (14th) to qualify for the event incase you cant get one or activate it before DT.
I cant find the link to his post stating this, but IGÇÖll link it when I do.

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

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 anytime during Friday, March 14 and it will work. |

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.

Yes, correct. If you have a booster that is active on your character during Friday you will get the bonus SP.

why has this taken sooooooooooo long to clarify. I was forced to put a booster on this morning thinking that i was going to be at work when you done the two checks but now i find out that i could have started it later when i was actually playing.

They said something about this on the forums, but said they want to let the goal be achieveable. So I guess we may or may not hear something about a stretch goal should we achieve the 1 million early.

That was my initial question / concern.
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.
