Have they been known to do that? I think today sounds right too, but my hopes dropped a bit when it wasn't flipped with the patch. :/

propaganda!
What was the reason they turned it off?

It was put on live to test because the zone event is a bit different this year, I guess they needed more players to work out kinks. The test server most not have too many players these days.

because the one a week or so ago was a test as not enough players were on the test server.

Ahhh... Didn't realize. Weird.

Well, the test "events" may have better flash-attendance, but I don't know how that compares to just leaving it on, on the test server all the time. So you have to actually MAKE the window, to help test it at all. One of my gripes is, I feel, a lack of clear patch notes (we don't know WHAT to test), as well as a clear lack of follow through (bugs go live, dev team never received our feedback).

So why was there no advance notice of the Winter Event dates?
Is marketing out to destroy us all??
(That's a rhetorical question. Of course marketing is out to destroy us all. It's in their nature.)

I don't know. Things do seem a bit weird IMO. The boards are relatively dead as of late. And things pop up with tiny announcements after the fact. It's like the hype machine at Paragon has run out of gas.|

Which is a pity. I miss the hype.

1) It's the end of the year. A lot of folks take vacation time around this period (ie use it or lose it). I know our office is pretty much dead from about Dec 8th until Jan 3rd.|

2) I figure what few folks are actually in are busy with Going Rogue stuff.
Edit: and WOOT! on the winter event being turned on.
[personally, I'm going with an "oops..accidently turned on the event. hmm, let's just call it a 'sneak peek' " with the couple of days we had the event earlier]
6000+ levels gained and 8 level 50's
Hello, my name is Soulwind and I have Alt-Itis.
My level 13 Blaster just got about 5.5 million Inf from selling Candy Canes - she's a happy little robot right now. Gotta love those "want it NAO" types out there.
The event being turned on a few days ago for just the day was an announced "test" BTW. Not an "oops".

Just got a pop up announcing the winter event and FREE server transfers starting from now, until jan 31st. Can do up to 6 a week. Um...wow? Did I read that pop up wrong, or are they serious?

Just fired up the patcher during the maintenance window and a patch is being loaded. No updates to the loading screen, but might this mean the Winter Event will be operational when the server access is flipped back on. Here's hoping it is! *scampers to be first in line on the slopes*
