    Some explanation would be nice... We have had hourly events since launch, to just take them away without mentioning a reason seams kinda messed up. Is it a bug or were they never permanent?

    PLEASE GIVE US AT LEAST A LITTLE INFO ON THIS ADMINS

    Yes, that is why you were getting the Ad. There are several events, most last an hour, professions does not. During these hours you get AD for doing the events includes skirmishes, Dungeon Delves, PVP. Some hours or half hours do not have an event. This likely due to the slots being filled by Gauntlgrym (sp.) and Foundry events which we do not have on Xbox.

    On the in game menu screen lower right corner will tell you the current event, if one is active, and the upcoming.

    This is just a guess, But I figure the hourly events were removed because they conflicted in some way or other with the Call To Arms. For those that were on when Call To Arms first launched, it's launch broke the queue so the event was taken down until it could be fixed. I'm guessing part of that fix removed the hourly events. If those hourly events aren't back by the time the Call To Arms ends though... I say we riot! Or.. you know... just feel a little sad and move on.

    Well then! Uh... there goes my theory. Any mods care for an official statement?

    Hmm surely it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that we are getting double Astral diamonds in celebration for the duration of the weekend could it? Maybe some people should check the news every once and a while

    Thank you for such an informative answer :)

    My guess: an attempt to balance AD gain.
    The Call to Arms counts as a Skirmish, which means in a skirmish hour you get 1000ad. I can run 6-9 CTA in an hour - which is 6000 to 9,000. We also had double diamonds this weekend, which would have seen people making 12,000-18,000 an hour.
    If I'm right the events will return when double AD stops.

    If not, I'm sure weekly maintenance will see them back.

    Good answer... I hope you are right. I just hate when popular games (not just MMOs) do unpopular things in game with no explanation whatsoever. If they feel that the current event would screw up the integrity of the ebb and flow of in game fiscal system then just say that because they are helping us out by keeping prices somewhat low in the zen market (economics 101: demand of zen would exceed the supply because the extra AD would drive the price up.)
