I'm going to talk to the rest of the Live Events team today and see if one of us is capable of taking on the extra time it requires to extend the run time of the event by a couple of hours. However, because it will require someone staying in the office past 10 PM, I'm not guaranteeing anything. |

Good news. After talking it over, we've decided to extend the event by 2 hours. It will now run until midnight GMT. This is, unfortunately, as far as we can extend this event without making demands on our GM team that we are unwilling to make.
We'll look into solutions to extend event hours in the future, especially when we give stuff out. I know that the US West Coast gets screwed over by our operating times when it comes to events, but our options are sadly limited for the moment (but we're working on getting a fix for one of our biggest hurdles toward making them much longer events). |

Cleared the thread of silly comments. Please refrain from having a go at each other on the forum. Thanks.
Just to clarify some things here as well.
Deciding on extending the Event has nothing to do with picking any region as favorite or anything like that, it is simply to try to accommodate for the player base if we can (And in this case, as mentioned by CCP Eterne, we can!). You don't ask, you don't get. A bigger window will allow more players to participate. Why not just be happy about it?
And why do we need someone present at CCP during the Event? Well considering the 'Let's all go home and hope the event will run itself fine. If something goes wrong... well who cares?' approach isn't an option here. Making sure everything goes as planned and you guys enjoy it is!
I guess some people are just hard to please!
See you in battle!  |
