Pshhh thats nothing, when its a busy night at Goya(where I work at) I don't get done until 2:30 or 3 AM.:f1:

I approve of these times. Less children to clutter up training areas.

Wow, I never knew Nexon really liked the level 200 mage so much to host an entire 2x just for her.

automated GMs ofcourse! how else can they be ignoring hackers!

Places like Aliens don't clear up until at least 7-8 pm AEST from what I've noticed (in Broa). Going on during this 2x event will just be another nightmare.

damn right I love @Pixie

More like "We... just remembered Australia exists."

This past Wednesday, Nexon Japan employees had to work from around 6am until around 4am the following day, working on maintenances to keep the game stable. Needless to say, they failed, as it is the nature of Nexon, but they certainly worked very long hours.

Well i dunno what they where smoking but they put it on a monday when im working, that said it is school holidays in the land of aus.

I came in here expecting the event to still be in American play times. I'm surprised. I remember in the past when something has screwed up the game at aussie play times and they have compensated by giving exp and drop events at american play times.

That's cool of them to do this. Its tough working so late like that ;_;

The times aren't that bad for PST, which is where I currently reside.
