Well this sucks, shows me not to wait. I was going to wait to turn in my Emblems and use the party items for the bonus at 8 am today. Looks like I can't do that now. Well this really sucks I wish I would have known...I figured the drops and the turn in were suppose to happen on Friday then event Saturday-Monday...I guess someone got mixed up. I hope they at least give a double party bonus for a day and bring the collectors back for a bit so I can turn in this crap.

Lighten up, it's 3am in the morning and no one's at work at ArenaNet.
I'm sure they'll rectify things in the morning, you know, when people start work.

Just a programming error with someone putting AM instead of PM I'd guess.... Hopefully ANET will correct this when they get into work and extend it for the rest of Monday at least.

Well we deserve a compensation.
At least to add the remouved time.
Everyone made plans accordingly to the announced schedule ,but this is not somthing that Anet trouble.
It seems to me that 5 milions is too big shoes for Anet.
We will remember towards GW2.

I'm thinking they should extend it another 24 hours. Will they? Probably not.

With this said, why are so may people cussing A-Net when A-Net actually DID stick to the deal, just a bit earlier on beginning and end then was intended. Get over it.

If they want to change the time, they can.
Why cant people just be thankful for what they DID get, instead of always bitching about what they didnt get?
And you are probibly right, its more then likly not the reason, but cant we wait to find out what the reason is before we start complaining?

Wow. I usually avoid criticizing Anet like this. But wow. First they bring out the celestial pig miniature which only benefits people who for whatever reason kept multiple regular pig miniatures or those willing to pay 30k for each one. Then they say there will never be a double party animal points event so people went ahead and consumed what they had. THEN they have this double points thing. THEN it ends early for whatever reason. What's next? Will they tell us we have 60 days after GW2 comes out to get titles and put them in the Hall of Monuments, but suddenly delete the entire GW1 world after only 20 days before everyone's had a chance to bring their titles to GW2?

People have every reason to expect time published by the company to be correct and rely on them, not to have to blame themselves...

Houch! shit! sorry! copypostno-jutsu!

Yeah I don't know what's up with that guy who says "Anet go to hell". I'm not at the point of saying that. I'd just quit before that happens. But right now I'm seeing a pattern here. The celestial pig controversy, saying there won't be any double party animal points, then there IS double points and people are making plans on short notice, and now there's no 3am PST showing of the Frog or anything. And no one knows what's going on or what to plan for.
Fortunately I did keep my party items even though I actually was convinced that there wouldn't be a double points weekend. I still have some left. I simply won't use them unless I have more than enough to finish the title on a double points event.
Like let's say I have 4,000 points to go. If I have enough to get 2,000 points, I'll save them for a possible double points thing in the future. But if I get more party items beyond that amount, I'll use them. I guess that's the kind of planning we have to do now.
DetreS I highly suggest doing the same until you have enough in stock to finish the title with or without a double points event.

if you recall, guild wars had no player base to migrate from, and it managed to draw 5 million players (ok, 3 million minus without the 2 million bots). there will be a new generation willing and able nerds standing by to pick up your sword and shield, and then subsequently whine bitch and moan about events and nerfs and how lactose makes them gassy. so stop beating your dead horse drum of hollow threats and realize that people make mistakes.
seriously. most of guru doesn't care about your 2009 shopping projections, and anet's not going to care if danalp doesn't buy gw2 because, frankly, for each old timer that quits two noobs will take their place. so stop complaining, and go back to farming raptors like you're probably going to anyway.
on topic, they most likely will extend the event like wintersday 2006, which also had it's fair share of problems.
hopefully no rollback, though...

As I predicted in game..."there will be much crying in the forums"..I log in and find this thread...haha, GG all!
This does suck though...

quoted from guildwars.com. So NO, the event DID NOT start EARLY. Drops started on friday, at noon pacific, animals appeared in town on friday at noon pacific. Frog started appearing on Saturday as expected. Everything DID end earlier though

Thing is when GW1 started, online gaming had been around but was still very very new to many people. By the time GW2 comes out, there are gonna be a LOT and I mean a LOT of choices. When people look at GW2, they will look at GW1 before deciding.

But I agree that we should cut the pitchfork and torch act until we have an official note in the morning.

If no such fix happens obviously its time for an Otter to wake up,realise it can talk and that it wants to throw a farewell party for Andrew. We could give it a really good name like "The Otter".
Mace Gridlock
I should have known better than to wait to turn in my stuff.
They must have interns running the events while the rest are working on gw2

most people understand that you can't judge a "II" by the "I". For example, consider the differences between
warcraft and warcraft II
diablo and diablo II
super mario brothers, II, and III
everquest, and everquest II
albeit, those all had fairly good predecessors, with the exception of warcraft.
conversely, you see things like the ps2 being one of the most popular platforms in america, yet they couldn't hardly give away the ps3.
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to base my game purchases on whether somebody is bitching about free fireworks or not. Yes, i understand that it represents the company, but I think few people will consider that during their purchase.

I know because I was there for one. They then stopped the event (no 6am or 9am events) probably because the start was a mistake. So technically, while it did start early, there were two events that never took place. At the very least we should be allowed to have those.

And I know this incident happening right now isn't the single thing that will affect GW2 sales. But online games like this aren't just about the game itself but how the staff keep things going. I think that's one of the things, not the only thing, but one of the things that will be looked at in new online games. And not just gamers but magazine reviewers and websites like IGN as well.

It sucks that the event ended earlier than was stated. But you people that are throwing tantrums are pathetic. How about we just calmly ask ANET to extend the event? Have people really become so rude and demanding?
