Guild Wars 2

As per the updated patch notes, the final event BIG event will be on Sunday the 28th @ 12 pst. (I would much rather it have been the 31st)

My question is will this be a 1 time thing or will the final event START at that time and run until the 31st. If this is a one time event I find that pretty disappointing, as many players (myself included) will not be able to experience the event due to prior obligations. I will be on to play all the other acts and play the game significantly but due to this event seemingly being only a 1 time thing I will miss the finale? Can anyone please provide some insight as to if the event repeats or is one time.

Colin’s wording strongly insinuates that this will be a one time event. If it were not, would he not have stated the case differently?

I would be disappointed, too, if I had other plans, but I would think Sunday would be better than a weekday for the vast majority of players. As always, any schedule will be bad for someone. They have to try to select a time that will work for as many people as possible.

True any single time slot would create conflicts hence having it a couple times, even if it was all on Sunday with different time slots, would help to alleviate some of the schedule issues for players AND possibly reduce the lag that may come from the whole of each server being in a single location (assumption).
I’m a US player and as stated previously I have a prior obligation at that time (thus I can accept this to some degree) but EU and Oceanic players, which is likely over half of the population of the game get completely boned? That just seems a bit silly.
