Enchant Scroll Event Date Misconception (12/21)

I doubt I am the only one to have misinterpreted this, but generally speaking when you have an event with a date range, the last day is included. Just like "Open Monday through Friday", typically does not mean the store closes on Thursday night.

I think there may have been a number of people (Me included) who thought 12/21 was included in the event period and did not spend of all of their hard earned seals thinking they had an extra day to earn more. It is possible for the event to be brought back just so people can spend the seals they earned?

    Well technically you did have the couple hours in the morning (pdt) of 12/21 but i think most of the player base knows by now the end date means you have a couple hours in the morning before they do, the presumable, maintence to end the event.

    Would of been nice if they had included that detail in-game. Unfortunately have not been here long enough to be aware of that trend.

    It was even more confusing considering the fact that there was an attendance rewards for today right around the time of maintenance.

    You should carefully read the event/news they posted on the official site. Every time some event end, always someone get confused by thinking that event is still up for a few more hours.

    Would be much nicer if they would allow this information to be available in-game. Not many people visit the forums, or the website. When they see 11/23-12/21 in game, they would think it means exactly that. The fact that this mistake is a common occurrence seems to indicate that things could be made a bit clearer.

    I like to have all the info in-game as well. Unfortunately, not opening the web browser or not visiting the forums is no excuse because you can access the news directly in the Nexon Launcher people hate so much.

    Saygo and some people on forums used to post a warning thread the day before too, for people to exchange their tokens
