Yep, people are lucky that developers gave people a 24 hour notice before they close down the event. In other games, if something is jeopardizing the economy, developers do not even give players a 5 minute notice.Originally Posted by Wimpywizard

They're shutting it down to cater to the uber rich players that keep complaining about the economy
It's a valid complaint. The prices of eggs are cheap enough right now that people can purchase what they need to.

It doesn't take an uber rich player to see that at this rate the event continuing any longer will only do more harm then good. Enjoy while you can, I doubt these threads of people being upset are going to shift the Dev's minds. There is a reason why they're ending it earlier then planned not sure how people can't see it...
all I,see is that he's wasted 50k makin that guild which he chose to do. . just like when he bought hisha at a premiumExactly. I, myself, have not looted much from this event - not compared to others. However, I'm okay with that. The reason being is that I care about having a game to play that still has goals after this event is over. If developers let the event run until Thursday, there's going to be a lot more damage done to the economy. When I heard that the event was going for 1 week, I had already thought there was no way developers would let this happen. They'd see what is happening to the economy and end it early.
For example, we're already halfway into event and Grimm eggs are down to 100k or less. Keep in mind, this is a pet with the BEST passive in the game. Yet, it goes for chump change. If there isn't something wrong with that, then I do not know what to tell people.
Additionally, take a look at arcane eggs. Mishi, for example, is down to sub 2M. This pet was formerly 5M+. For good measure, we all know of the Hisha fiasco. I, of course, was not one to pay 9M for a pet as in my mind, it did not bring 9M in revenue from farming for me to justify the purchase. However, others did. Now, they are facing HUGE losses because of this event - losses that might make some of them quit the game.
However, don't despair if you're unlucky like me. There's always investment. The eggs are so cheap right now that anyone can invest in the most popular eggs and earn some gold in the long run. If you do not know what eggs to invest in, do not fret. I will be posting a video guide up today so people can participate. So, instead of complaining about this logically sound decision from developers, let us make the best of it!
The bottom line, if this event continues for too long, there won't be a game left to play after the event is done. There won't be goals to work for. Thus, it results in player activity falling off and as a community, I'm sure nobody wants this.
Hisha Example:
Pay attention to his guild name
No, I can't lol, and hisha overpopulation looks to have killed km3 (30k mas at times).
Not saying they should have kept it going either but looks like if you didn't come up off this event it's going to be tougher after it.
Not into the whole speculative investing either.
Farming still needs help in al.

We never said we would run it for a week, we said we would look at the economy on Monday and make the call. Our call is to shut it down tomorrow.
Yes, you're absolutely correct. Yet, for some strange reason, people want the event to continue until Thursday. After the event ends, things are just going to be harder for people. First off, there's inflation going around for items and gear. If you've noticed, the prices of gear and everything has increased and it's a far bigger increase than what people are earning due to the event.
If you cannot afford Hisha today, then I would suggest you invest in the cheap but useful eggs (Korruption, Slobber, Blinky, Porkchop). When those go up, you will have enough to buy the Hisha that you need.
Again, I was not a lucky player in this event. I'm just seeing the logic in why they shut the event down.

Most people know AL's mini events last for a week. It's not their fault they assumed this event ends on Thursday.
Not sure what your point is?
People have expectations and some even set schedules to play events in the game coz we all have our own lives to deal with. Also this was sent by a friend. Just leaving this here.
I remember seeing something about a the event lasting a week. I don't see why shutting it down now will affect much because the egg economy is already ruined.People have expectations and some even set schedules to play events in the game coz we all have our own lives to deal with.

Carapace said it was _planned_ for a week, but in this instance he was wrong (and will be appropriately punished).
We said we would look at the economy on Monday and make the call.
"appropriately punished"? That sounds pretty harsh...

We'll be gentle.
Sorry that the time frame has been mis-communicated. The event has been a blast, and very well received, but the egg economy is starting to strain. Shutting it down is the right thing to do for the game.
