It has probably been such a long time since they've seen this ammount of concurrent players. You never know, they may be raising the player cap to hold the rest of us. They might even even just raise it slowly, testing the strain on the servers as they go.
the problem isn't the event per se, the problem is the lack of level limit. Right now in naia there's 4 groups of hundreds of lvl 1's in TI one on top of the other, all farming the event. That's the stupidity, the fact NCWest allows this by design. Make this stuff A grade + ... nobody that has really been playing this game for longer than a week is sub A grade And you stop the ******ed farmers from creating 1000 accounts, spamming login with their OOG client and just taking up half the slots making dinner at McDonalds.
and all the while I am logged in with an alt and debating the wisdom of restarting the client to log my main in and do TW or just let it be and play the alt cause if I restart I will never log back in.
