    I always mistake "Ending on xx of Month" to mean that it ends at midnight of that final day. Why do they gotta be so LITERAL about it? :( I didn't even get to spend my remaining points.

    A lot of people used to get this confused, so they've started writing the event times super clearly

    I think it's great that they're being more precise

    I prefer the 11:59 approach. But I guess I'm used to other MMOs lol

    I think it is enough leeway. There is nigh impossible standards few can reach without excessive effort, and then there is wishing to be rewarded without being invested in the game or event. Logging in and doing nothing for an hour doesn't seem too arduous.

    The lack of a reward does not translate to "punishing", anymore than it is to not win a medal for being in last place. It is simply a display of (rather easy) merit, if anything. One needs to accept that loss is inevitable, especially if one does not "do" the work.

    You cannot win everything, and expecting to be rewarded without doing the work is silly. (Even if one disagrees as the event being work, I still stand by my point.)

    I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying I pay thousands every month and have an expensive lifestyle I gotta keep up IRL, leaving me with little time for video games lol. 10 days is plenty of leeway. I just couldn't make that.

    Sometimes maintenance is at a different time, so having the event end at maint just means we have to look out for whatever time maint is at this week.

    You're used to other MMOs so it might be hard for you to remember, but almost all Mabinogi events end at the weekly maintenance. The one or two exceptions is what used to keep people on their toes when it came to imprecise event ending dates.

    Ouch, that's harsh.

    So close, but so far.


    Keep an eye open for people cramming the dragons into Adoption Medals, since that's probably the only hope at this point.
    Unless they bring back this pet in another event, or something.

    At least you still got the outfit with the cape glued to your heels and undyeable Giants guarding your throne.

    And whatever you blew all your points on, too.
    Hopefully you didn't forget to spend them before the game went under for maint.

    I understand. Sometimes, life is...no, life is always suffering. :)

    I kind of forgot it ends with Maintenance today....
    Didn't spend my Points at all, now i wasted my time doing this Event for literally nothing because the Clothes are ugly, the Chair has disgusting colors and the pet is just going to collect Dust without ever being used.

    Was in it for the Bags, thought i'd bother with getting them today, woke up too late. tough luck.

    That's quite unfortunate. =(
    I can relate as I recently missed out on the Lorna's Adventure bag coupon voucher during the anniversary event due to being 10~20 coins short. I was doing the daily quests religiously, but noticed them a little too late. I also wasn't staying online to collect the coins even though I could have. Those coins would have really added up.
    I'm past it now, but I still think of how much extra inventory slots I could've had from time to time.

    Later tip.

    For events like that just stay logged in while you're gone. You'll still tick the timer up and then just come back to a stage 3 award.
