It sucks when 100+ people take the staff at their word only to be let down. if they don't want to do 2 quakes a month, just say so. Or if they want to do "spawn skips" that's fine, just say so. Don't let people sit around all day excited that they are "in window" only to find out that there never was a quake planned at all.
It's a mix of disappointment and a betrayal of trust. I just feel dumb that I believed them and spent a good portion of my weekend doing absolutely nothing but waiting for something that wasn't even going to happen.
This exactly. It's basically just being lied to. Which I guess is their prerogative, but it is clearly discouraging to a lot of people who were honestly ramped up and excited for what had the appearance of being a fantastic payoff of anticipation.

I've been in North Carolina this week helping with issues related to Hurricane Florence. Soo, I was not at home to notice the simulated respawn alert.
This system is supposed to be automated, but we haven't had a patch since last year. So to date, I've just rolled 2 datetimes in a local alert system.

Of course it did. When 200+ people rely on his word which determines how they spend their time, when he drops the ball it has consequences. Whether he was helping people or if he just fell asleep on the couch, he has a responsibility. It doesn't matter if you say "it's just a game, get a life, yada yada." If your friend planned an event, and so you made plans and got ready and drove out to the place, waiting for it to open, only to find out, after waiting outside for a long period of time, that not only is it closed, but it was never going to open. You'd be well within your rights to wonder why your friend never bothered to inform you.
It's not like he didn't have any way to tell someone. People saw his Discord status on and off all day. if he forgot, fine, just say that. Saying "I was busy helping hurricane victims" just sounds like a disingenuous, pity-plea cop out. "They can't be mad if I was helping victims."

Up until this point it wasn't a possibility. It was logical to presume a quake would happen today which is why 1000 people were online for the final few hours of the day. Since the probability of a quake was so high - easy, fast raids then you go to bed, not this life consuming bs you make it out to be.

This made me feel sad for you as a person.
I would literally have done anything else. Even if it was simply XPing in the game, instead, I camped with my guild, along with many other guilds, for a promised event that didn't occur. You understand people make plans around these earthquakes right? They're a fairly big deal.

How does the fact it's a video game make the complaint less valid?
I was waiting on mobs today too, in that, I was doing stuff around the house, left a couple times to go do some other stuff, made dinner, got stoned and buzzed. I did all the things I would normally do on a slow Sunday night. I'm not going to get all pissy because the second extra set of mob repops didn't show up in the old video game from when I was 13 years old.

Nothing remotely high and mighty about my guild. I'm talking about respecting people's time. Only reason I mentioned guilds was because it's guilds that chase the quakes. Multiple guilds X multiple members = a lot of people.
If you heard about an event in real life, made plans to attend said event, got all your friends to make plans to go to the event, drove hours to attend the event, only to arrive and find out there is no event, and the person who created the event didn't bother to tell you, would you be annoyed? How is this any different?

Even the cable guy has the courtesy to call you if he's not going to end up showing up when you've been sitting at home waiting for him to show up sometime between the hours of 8 and 5. I get that Nilbog was busy with something important that rightly took priority, but is it asking too much to for him to have put a message in discord or made a post that said "Sorry, not gonna happen this month". That takes a minute of time.
More, the other GM's almost certainly would have known he was out of town. Not one of them could be bothered to give a simple heads up? Instead, we got a "smirk" icon from Sirken in discord.

At midnight there was 1312 people on blue, and 35 people on red so I mean i'm sure there was something happening.

I don't really see what's hilarious about wasting the time of literally hundred of people, unless you enjoy being inconsiderate to others.
Even the cable guy has the courtesy to call you if he's not going to end up showing up when you've been sitting at home waiting for him to show up sometime between the hours of 8 and 5. I get that Nilbog was busy with something important that rightly took priority, but is it asking too much to for him to have put a message in discord or made a post that said "Sorry, not gonna happen this month". That takes a minute of time.
More, the other GM's almost certainly would have known he was out of town. Not one of them could be bothered to give a simple heads up? Instead, we got a "smirk" icon from Sirken in discord.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Would smirk again
on a serious note, I can say that nilbog actually did try to get a repop to happen, and it was about a 50/50 on it happening. That said, even if I (or anyone else on staff) knew 100% there was no repop coming, I don't think we would have been allowed to relay that information to players.
The good news is that yesterday gave me an idea to make socking repops near impossible (as they should be). Hopefully nilbog will agree with it, fingers crossed ;)

I don't think socking would be an issue if the second monthly repop didn't repeatedly occur on the last day.

Doesn’t socking quakes defeat the purpose?
Might as well just have shorter spawn times

That's actually a really good point. But I don't think quakes get socked until it's the very last day of the month and still no 2nd quake.
Before this 2 quake per month business. quakes are rare and unplanned. It was extremely unique and exiting when one happened. But now people are able to plan for them.

So basically they just need to say quakes are no longer guaranteed

Actually, yes, that would work. You could even say 24 quakes in 12 months and roll em all on day 1.

Making a variance to the quakes might help help prevent this. Maybe 1-3 quakes a month instead of the guaranteed 2?

It’s better if they just don’t guarantee anything because no matter what you people will cry about it

They going to make up for last month miss quake by giving players 2 extra quakes this month or make up for 1 quake last month by having 0 this month? Tune in next week to P99-Z to find out!

I hear there's going to be 1 quake in the next few days. Then all the GM's will gather and smirk at each other while feeding each other fun size butterfingers and candy corn while laughing at people that are poopsocking away their Halloween waiting for a second quake that doesn't come.
What else are us middle-aged old fogies gonna do on a mid-week Halloween? Scary movies on Netflix with hubby and handing out candy to the kiddies is the highlight of my Halloweens these days!

I was about to post something similar, but you beat me. Halloween isn't really a holiday unless you're younger than about 12.
Won't be there chasing P99 quakes either, though, but the folks who do it seem to enjoy it better than staring at walls for hours on end.
