Agreed. If the mods had said "Okay, you need to be around from the 13th through the 15th during these set hours each day (like 5-8pm EST or whatever), we're cramming in the event during those days and times" and specifically had gotten people who would be around during that window of availability, I think it would have gone better. Instead it's now the 18th and this event is still going on.
For comparison, the last event went on for nine OOC days, but it didn't feel as long as this event feels. It's entirely because the last event was well-organized, and the plotty stuff was split up into three groups, so no one person had to be involved for all nine days. And the people not in whatever group for that IC day had some interesting stuff to do too, so they weren't just waiting around for the group of that day to finish what they were doing.
