I am referring to americans. When there are extra unscheduled or another server check, they normally give out 2x events as compensation. Server checks normally start at 10pm PST so thats when most americans start sleeping. That time is also when aussies finish school. And of course nexon would cater for americans suitable time: during afternoon to night time, while us aussies 2x time is during the morning. The morning is when we are supposed to be at school or most of us do certain routines. Jump to this conclusion: Americans get 2x events for sleeping, while aussies suffer downtime and get nothing in the end.

They direct it towards where the majority of their players live. If you don't like it, there are other regions or games that you can play.

Yeah, because they're from LA, and I guess they wanted to be nice so the Americans won't come in to Basil and say,"OMG SERVER CHECK AT 3:30 WHY? I WAS ON 2X CARD OMGOMG."

It's because the Corporate headquarters is in California, so Pacific Standard Time, stop acting like a child and thinking they are out to get you, or do not like you, it's not their fault you happen to live far away enough in a time zone from them that their downtime coincides with your up-time Quit "QQ-ing" and either find a MS closer to you, or simply, get over it. 'nuff said.

It's a North American server. It's called Global, but they've specified that it's definitely a North American server Go look for yourself.

im from aussie and agree to the fact that events as such are directed to the wider audience, what would be more suitable would be handing out 2x cards by talking to cassandra in game, this would seem more logical. They have done this in the past... *shrugs*

Myabe they should implament a 2x event time based on your geographical location as reported by your ISP. So its 5pm - 10pm based on where you live. NOT Nexons time which is UTC - 8 Or is that too hard for Nexon to improve the game independently of Korea?
