Am I smoking purple crack or when bonuses were first implemented they rotated and weren't on a fixed system midnight to 3am time period?

I could have sworn they changed time periods automatically to cover all play times. It seems like they are mostly midnight and later for the last several months unless it is a nonscheduled bonus.

It sounds like the system we have for handling these might be wonky. I left a note for the IMPs since it'll likely take one of them to fix the problem.

You're not smoking purple crack alone... For my last mortal or two, I've also noticed a lot of scheduled bonuses occurring on or around the midnight hour EST. I may be wrong, but I share your perception.

I'm fairly certain that I remember Zulg saying they were on a loop, starting at midnight then rotating 1, 2, 3...10, 11... And so on. Each block for a different day so that no time was to get over rewarded. I'm no expert but it could be that it's resetting every time the game resets, or a manual bonus is enacted rather than a constant loop. Who knows but yeah I'm fairly certain that it is supposed to be a rotating loop.

Zulg set them at that time to encourage more people to play during off peak hours and to aid those people trying to group at low points. It is obviously a lot harder to find a group when there is 5 people on as opposed to 30+.

Says there is weekly bonus based on player playing times. I don't know why I thought it was supposed to rotate. I could have sworn it was supposed to do that to have a bit of fairness to people who play from all over.

That is the automated reboot schedule. Its not just a flat X days, it is X days + 1hr (maybe 2) I can't remember the exact numbers. But it was to make sure that everyone had the opportunity to find the loots or limited slots after an auto reboot.
