So where the heck is my freebie Friday?

Freebie Friday runs from 4pm Thursday - 4pm Friday (Pacific time). Last week's was extended because it was special, as the announcement said.
I do agree that the timeframe is not very clear and all too easy to miss, but it's the same place this week as it has normally been.
Well that just blows for someone on the east coast who can't log on until 10 or 11pm est friday.
... kinda weird that you say you couldn't log in until 10 or 11 pm, but (if I'm doing my Time Zone Math correctly), this topic was created at 8 pm, and you created this topic after you tried to get the freebie. (Which means you would have missed it by less than a half-hour, since it ends at 7:30 pm EDT)
But, in any event, you can log in at 10 or 11 pm EST Thursday, and get it then. Make a note of it for ... whenever Freebie Friday starts up for real.
(Before you ask - the reason that it ends when it does is that, since it's still in its trial phase, someone has to turn it on and off manually, and they don't want to force people to go in on the weekend just to turn it off. So it starts at the end of their work day on Thursday, and ends at the end of their work day on Friday)

Actually, this week marks the end of the pilot program, so there won't be a Freebie Friday promotion next week. When and if Paragon decides to make it a permanent thing sometime in the future, they'll announce it.|

Fish whistle! Cheese underpants marzipan! Mint biscuit!
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Yeah, I just saw in another topic that this was the last week for the Pilot program, and hurried back to this one to edit my post, but... too late.
Edit: I edited it anyway, just to make the whole topic that much more confusing.

I've now done the same, because it's fun. |

I believe that 4pm is central.(Edit: I could be mistaken since timezones are confusing sometimes.)|

Edit 2:
Apparently, I was wrong. Can't always be right. /shrug

Freebie Friday is a new test program in the Paragon Market where all players, Free, Premium and VIP, can claim (only once per offer) a random free item! The item could be almost anything currently available in the Paragon Market and will change every week! Currently, we plan for each promotional item to be available for 24 hours. For the trial run, we'll be putting the item up at 4:00 PM PDT/7:00 PM EDT/12:00 AM BST this Thursday, May 17th, 2012. The item will be available until the same time (4:00 PM PDT) on Friday, May 18th, 2012. You can find the Freebie Friday item under the "Featured Items" section of the Paragon Market. So log into City of Heroes and claim your item! |
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Oh shoot, I had forgotten completely about this. What was it?

Warwolf Whistle. 5 charges, 1 character only.
Saw someone in Ouroboros today with a warwolf following them around. ^_^

Yeah, the one character and temporary limited charges thing makes it more useful just for a little fun than using in combat, especially given the tendency for pets to do stupid things.

more forgiving for a stupid Warwolf, it does a lot of damage :3 I'd take it with any character that buffs or has some dual inspirations handy
I just got the chance to log in, no freebie Friday. Last week it was up until Monday this week it's gone even before Friday is over
