This would be why I suggest 4 days and every other month. It limits the amount of time to exploit and requires more planning—the chances of majority of players grinding non-stop for 4 days is significantly lower than those that do. If you manage to complete all 4 days, you basically get the same affect as 2 days per month. If you don’t, then you miss out for another 2 months. This basically caters to those that plan for it, rather than spontaneous actions. However, it also allows newcomers to take advantage if they’re feeling behind. Additionally, making it Thursday through Monday would coincide with the Tuesday updates to the bazaar, thereby increasing traffic for more consecutive days. Typically players log in to see the rotation of items. If you give players a reason to log in for more consecutive days, you increase traffic and revenue. Also, Funcom SHOULD be able to produce a large banner NEW item every two months at the very least, encouraging the Tuesday bazaar update to be a new big item, which would increase the hype of the “event.”
