I’m not sure if you’re trying to troll me, or what, but you do realize up to 16 states are predicted to lose power, right? And several of those states hold a large percentage of the country’s population. I’m really not sure how extending the event would hurt you, but it may be a nice gesture to a large part of the player base who could miss out.
Personally, I hope this is one of those weatherman “busts” and this thing just floats out to sea harmlessly making this thread a moot point entirely.
Yes, it’s just a game. No an extension is not going to save lives, repair homes, or save businesses, but this is a GW forum so I feel like talking about GW instead of the run on bottled water at the local markets. I won’t give it a second thought if they say, “no”, but on a GW forum, I don’t see the harm in asking.
I understand you not wanting to miss the event. But this really isn’t going to affect the majority of their playerbase, so I do not see the need to extend the event. While it sucks, it’s just how things are. I hope you and your family and any one else affected by it are safe and we all have a speedy recovery. Overall, extending the holiday a week over this seems silly. Not trying to be mean or insensitive to the upcoming Hurricane. (like I said, I’ll be affected as well.)
I don’t think asking for an event extension, on game forum no less, somehow suggests otherwise. I have a wife, two daughters, and “furbabies” myself, so I’m certainly not minimizing the real life hardships many of us may face post-storm. However, the GW crew can’t put a guardian boon around our homes, but they can extend the event a week.
