How about allow it to be a 6 month free login period.

But everyone can only login to Mordion Gaol and be berated by bored GM's for 6 months.

Also make it Ironman mode. If you die free play is over.

Better yet.

If you die, you need to pay for TWO months ahead.

What I find funnier from that is the fact they've used some generic message from 2006 lol.

"* For those who will participate in Dynamis or Salvage at the time of the maintenance, we ask that you please wait until maintenance is completed before engaging in these activities. Please note that we cannot replace items that are lost during the maintenance process."

Not surprising though, these are the same people who rate a single Montiont Silver piece equal to 100 deeds in the Vanabout 750 point category...

They don't have a clue.

It lasted as long as it was supposed to, until midnight-ish Sunday night US time. You just have to stay logged in after it ends, you can't even exit to the character select screen.

But then they found another maintenance issue to delay until afterward so that they could kick off the stragglers. I presume it was the Vanabout description error of air vs lightning damage that caused the "emergency" update? Last time it simply ended right before the monthly update, and I seem to recall that the time before that, they screwed up another RoE description and waited until free campaign ended to patch it.

The bug was a bit more than "oops, we typoed the english translation of an element". The bug was more like to "oops, some people arent having their dailies reload".

Well, crap, I only made it to 620, maybe if there wasn't a bug I'd have had a few more to do to get me over 750. Oh well. At least I got 22 (!) gobbie keys out of it.

Suppose if you look at every one of them they started at < 2 weeks, ballooned to > 2 weeks and now came back to < 2 weeks.

But, the ones on oldwiki have inaccuracies, I've only been writing them down since 5/21, so that's what I listed.
(The old wiki campaign list is a mess, someone should clean that up)

3/3 in '21 20 days, 0/3 11 days
3/3 in '22 20 days, 0/3 11 days
2/3 in '23 20 days, 1/3 11 days
0/2 in '24 20 days, 2/2 11 days

It could be worse.

Imagine someone asking money, just to leave couple of days later.

People arent aware but those guys who return for free week are a danger to society.

They have nothing to lose, nothing to fear. They can do anything.

See? They are accomplishing stuffs without generating revenue to SE.

That’s unacceptable.
