Red Alerts, Thou shall be missed

Really enjoyed the Red Alert event. My only complaint is it is ending. Red Alerts are great for someone like me who works a lot and doesn't have as much time to play as he would like. I wish the Red Alerts were permanent thing. Anyone else feel the same, or am I the odd duck out here?

    They used to be a permanent thing, at least in that they would intermittently pop up through the day where some sector would have a Red Alert, and you could race there to fight in it, with a chat channel dedicated to calling out where people spotted the RA.

    I enjoy them too & miss them when they're absent. Not the greatest mark payouts but a small amount of fun for the investment & it helps usually getting 1 of my toons to complete 1 or more Reputations.

    That's what I thought, but it has been so long since I played (just started again this December) that I wasn't sure I remembered correctly.

    Yeah, a couple years ago, I think, they changed them to 'weekend' events, so now you only see one every month and a half or so...

    At least we can get all sorts of marks now, when the RA are available.

    I don't think that was the case back then.

    I wish they opened up the RA to characters below level 50 again.

    It made little sense that they changed it so that basically all characters that could mostly use the extra experience points, can't collect them.

    In my memory Cryptic had neutered the Red Alerts around the time Patrols were released.
