    We have 3 types of events:
    1. Pre-planned: These are, as the name implies, pre-planned. They are therefore announced via all channels well in advance to attempt to bring in as many players as possible
    2. On-the-Spot: Again, as the name implies, these are on-the-spot and can happen at any time, unannounced
      • The idea with these is that EC staff can throw something together quickly at a time that meets their timezone, which might allow better distribution
      • Also, due to the fact that Hakry and I have had rather aggressive work schedules as of late, we have had limited time available to throw something together
    3. Reward/Milestone: These are rare, designed to reward the community for achieving a particular goal
    The Death Watch Escape event was an on-the-spot event, and therefore had very little time from conception to launch (if I recall correctly, it was less than 4 days). As a result, a one week notice wouldn't have been possible.

    Not every event is pre-planned to this extent. I will take your request into consideration for the next set of events. Thank you for your input.
