The brooms are going to be the most popular item in WoW history, likely.

Just prepare for the multiple threads asking for them to be permanent.

They're on a 14 day timer at the moment, and I still have 10-day items from last Valentine's Day (and pestered a few people at Brewfest by tagging them with Peddlefeet) on rarely-played alts. Though permanent would be nicer..... ;)

I still have at least one Bat wand from last year's Halloween.

And my mage is going to farm the Headless Horseman until I get the pumpkin. Brooms, schmooms.

So, where's the page that lists the new events for Hallows End? I want to find out where to go to get all the sweet new goodies!

Ok, in the future can you say 12:01 AM on _____? I mean, this happens every holiday. Blizzard will say "Event ends October 16th". But what this *usually* means is, October 16th at 12:01AM (as in, not through the day). And believe me, I've missed out on a lot of stuff because of that "ending a day early" mistake (last year I missed my Spirit of Summer pet by one day because I didn't have Dire Maul's torch and assumed I still had one more day to get it.. had to wait a whole year, by which time it was rediculously trivial to get since I was 70). But apparently Brewfest is different?

It's all very confusing and frankly, giving a solid time would help with this so much.

UGH. I've been trying to figure this out all week. Finally, I got an answer from a GM yesterday. This GM said that the event would end on the 16th upon the normal server resets that occur on Tuesdays. This made sense to me, unfortunatly I was going to be 10 or so tickets short of the mount so i went ahead and sold some tix, got the googles and a hat. ----- now this. Man, all that work for nothing. Could have gotten that Ram all along!

:(

My only complaint about Brewfest is the music would follow you for so long after you passed the event. I think I made it to SM from Undercity one time before it ended.

Q u o t e:


From experience, actually, that tends to confuse people further. Technically, yes, it ends at midnight on the 17th, but some people translate that to mean that it lasts through that day.

At 12:01AM server time on October 17th, it should be gone. Adding that minute makes the difference. ;)


You could just say 11:59pm on 10/16/07 - then people could feel like they cheated the system to get that 1 extra minute. =-)


Managed to get my rams on both toons that were working for it this morning.

There's always next year.

If you read this thread -- or even just all of my responses -- you'd note that I said Brewfest would be gone at 12:01 AM server time on October 17th. The post you quoted was in response to someone's query asking when Hallow's End would begin.

EDIT: Regarding the Dark Iron event... it is regrettable that we were unable to bring it back this year, but there is a limit to what we can hotfix, and the fixes to a few key issues with the event were over that limit. We've already made plans for next year, however. :)

I frankly think you guys need to standardize when your events ends and starts. From what it seems like with most previous events it ends at the very start of the day, aka 12:00am or 12:01 am on the 16th is what i expected out of brewfest. Then I was confirmed by a blue on the costomer service forums its supposed to end during maintenance, then I find out it lasted through the entire 16th. Can you guys please standardize it in a clear to understand format?

With promotional contests that have a deadline, they say things like "Ends on MonthX, XX, 200X at 11:59pm" Indicating it lasts throughout that day but once it hits midnight its over.

The whole thing about midnight is it is hard to understand and it depends on viewpoint.

If I say midnight of the 17th of October, is that Oct 16th ticking over to the 17th? Thats the correct way as far as I'm aware of, but people think its at the end of the day getting on to midnight.

Edit: oh not to mention is it server time or pst or etc etc.

Yes, and Drysc said that mages are getting 10 buffs in 2.3. What's your point?

Yes, I am better than you, in every way. You are the scum between my toes.
