    Your complaining about the time lost due to these maintenances yet have not stopped to think that pre-no-maintenance we would have lost more time due to the normal scheduled maintenances over the event.
    under the old system the server shut at 1 am they were generally back up between 5am-6am which is 4-5 hours, 3 maintenances = 12-15 hours approximately. New system started with a 12 hour deficit on timer of event plus multiple mini maintenances therefore old system was better. For last two events explorers, quests etc could be launched at 00.00 am, this event it was lunchtime so again old system better, result at least 12 hours of searches lost, maybe more if your southern hemisphere.

    Maintenance I could deal with. The fact we lost half a day off of a 21 day event to start with however, the event timer should of started when the servers where back up online

    How can you lose what you never had.

    If they had said the event would start at midnight but then it did not start until mid day then you would have lost 12 hours. However the event started on time, therefore no time lost.

    guess it would be based on the fact they did state the event runs for 21 days , and not the 20 days 12 hours it started at

    This was the info window very shortly after the game came back up with the event active:




    Based on the black bar on the far right of the timer it's not unreasonable to conclude the blue bar moved. Had "20 days, 12 hours, and some minutes" been the intended setting it seems likely the timer bar could have been adjusted to show only that. If "20 days, 12 hours, and some minutes" was indeed the plan (which would be odd) it's not surprising this presentation would be confusing and misleading.

    Personally, and as a general rule, I prefer the idea of people of any age looking reasonably at possible difficulties and giving some thought to ways things might be improved. It is far preferable to the idea of a roomful of adults wetting themselves laughing at the confusion of others. The latter is decidedly off-putting.

    Here's hoping BB go with option "A."

    The picture above clearly shows a chunk of the timer missing and even an amateur detective would conclude it counted down from 21 days. The previous event was a full 21 days so why shouldn't this one be ?



    Why is the deactivation at 00.01 on the 5th of April surely it should at least be 8.00am when the staff arrive at the BB offices ? looks like removal of phase 2 will occur around that time. It cannot be that hard to write a line of code that makes the event run a full 21 days.

    Due to the frequency of locked zones reported, it was decided to deploy an update. This was announced as soon as the decision was made, so we gave as much notice as possible.
    The last maintenance is not completed, Playing is yet not possible.
