First day of the Event and after eight hours, still not logged in. The loading screen has shifted to the Event one, so that's a good thing...I guess.
The bummer is things like the Christmas Market, which have to be restarted every 12hrs or you're running Elite buildings unbuffed...are running unbuffed. The Bookbinder is sitting idle with a +100% Buff winding down. Mines are running out.
That's even before you consider this Event is going to cost around 60,000 Footballs to get most of the 'good' things...and that means being on 'a lot'.
Then folks have to go to work, so not being able to log in becomes a real issue of lost resources that can stretch out into a full day, or more.
