2 days is short, more so for someone who hasn't logged in for about a month due to the fact that basically all my raid members and friends have quit. I actually stuck with the game through the lull, all im saying is i wish they woulda shot an email maybe a week beforehand? A lot of other games do this with limited time events something along the lines of "this is your last chance blah blah blah"
I already acknowledged that they told us way beforehand, I was just saying the implementation was rather abrupt IMO. 2 days is not a long time. not in a mmo. not when everyone you know has moved on and your only source of info is you checking the site, which doesn't happen often when you aren't playing.
I'm just pointing out, next time they have something like this they should give a proper warning before they remove things from the game entirely.
