Lol I'm sure a lot of people did the previous festival (Canthan Festival?) So I went on one day only to find that Shing Jea Monastery in Factions had over 230+ American districts. I thought this was so funny as to how manny ppl in GW were doing that event.

There were so many districts because of the AFK'ers, not because people wanted hats and stuff.

Most people probably logged on for rings, then logged off after the weekend was over.

Or, if they were like me, attending each of the events to get festival prizes. Ah yes, I went to each and every single one. I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

I can't really imagine a player who would log on to progress lucky/unlucky and never play the game otherwise.

Considering you need some 300k for four days of the AFK-extravaganza - it's going to be hard to NOT play outside of the event.
Unless you earned millions before and are now bored out of your mind - but want the title since it's an easy addition to HoM.

If only they can just split that broadwalk section away as a separate outpost so to not lag Shing Jea

The many districts also greatly affected my precious ping, +/- 800ms throughout the event. Anyway, that many districts isn't really too surprising, especially when you consider all the people who were afk for the rings...

You are contradicting yourself.

As long as you had 250 Victory tokens you would automatically get a hat during the Emperor's speech. No need to start running those Charges when other people are already doing it for your entire district.

There were lots of active players at the events. You could tell because after the event, it would drop to about 50 districts, then shoot up again as people came back for the next visit.
