you just know this is to kick the people who wanted to get 1 extra day What I find funnier from that is the fact they've used some generic message from 2006 lol.
"* For those who will participate in Dynamis or Salvage at the time of the maintenance, we ask that you please wait until maintenance is completed before engaging in these activities. Please note that we cannot replace items that are lost during the maintenance process." Not surprising though, these are the same people who rate a single Montiont Silver piece equal to 100 deeds in the Vanabout 750 point category... They don't have a clue. Offline
Free campaign is over, they pulled the plug pretty early this time. Expected it to be going at least till maintenance.
Generally goes until a dc/logout/maint no matter when it officially ends

It lasted as long as it was supposed to, until midnight-ish Sunday night US time. You just have to stay logged in after it ends, you can't even exit to the character select screen.
But then they found another maintenance issue to delay until afterward so that they could kick off the stragglers. I presume it was the Vanabout description error of air vs lightning damage that caused the "emergency" update? Last time it simply ended right before the monthly update, and I seem to recall that the time before that, they screwed up another RoE description and waited until free campaign ended to patch it. The bug was a bit more than "oops, we typoed the english translation of an element". The bug was more like to "oops, some people arent having their dailies reload".

Well, crap, I only made it to 620, maybe if there wasn't a bug I'd have had a few more to do to get me over 750. Oh well. At least I got 22 (!) gobbie keys out of it.

>cherry picking specific campaigns to push a narrative
You know they fluctuate. Suppose if you look at every one of them they started at < 2 weeks, ballooned to > 2 weeks and now came back to < 2 weeks.
But, the ones on oldwiki have inaccuracies, I've only been writing them down since 5/21, so that's what I listed. (The old wiki campaign list is a mess, someone should clean that up) 3/3 in '21 20 days, 0/3 11 days 3/3 in '22 20 days, 0/3 11 days 2/3 in '23 20 days, 1/3 11 days 0/2 in '24 20 days, 2/2 11 days RadialArcana said: » >cherry picking specific campaigns to push a narrative You know they fluctuate. |
