Sick event, had a ton of fun. Missed the badge tho, possible to still get it?

Wait... SO does this mean because I was not able to sit around and wait for the server to come back up, I don't get the badges? Please find a way to hand them out to people who were unable to log back into the game. Or something. I had to make Real Life arrangements so that I could go to this event and was tight on time.

I'm sorry you two missed out on getting the badge once the server came back up. We did the best we could in the circumstances

Is there no way, using evidence from screenshots/video, that badges could be retroactively granted to those that attended, yet were unable to return after the crash?

I'm sorry but it is what it is. It would get too complicated to award badges at this time and for us to check all the claims.

Thanks again to everyone who attended, here's another short video from the event

Ouch. It would be pretty easy for me to compile a list of everyone that attended just based off of the footage I took. Then you'd only have to compare claims to that list.

I understand you don't want to accidentally give someone the badge that didn't earn it... but it just feels so... wrong... especially since the fact that the server went down was completely out of the hands of the players.

I don't want to continue to push the topic, so this will be my last post about it... but I want to be sure you understood that I wouldn't mind sifting through my own recordings to provide the list for you. It would require no work on your part.

I appreciate your desire to help and put forth the extra effort to provide us with the lists, and yes, we fully understand you would put in the work to compile said lists for us. However, you have to recognize that even with the list we would have to respond to a number of tickets, compare a number of claims to the list, spend time tracking people online to award the badge, etc etc etc. While it may seem like a simple task, it is an additional workload on top of one existing we already have.

Unfortunately, circumstances were out of our control as well. We put forth a fair effort by sticking around considerably longer than originally anticipated and handed out badges to all that logged in after the event. I am sorry that we could not accommodate everyone. There will be plenty of opportunities for people to receive this badge in the future (pretty sure this is at least a second time we've awarded this particular one since events came back end of December).

Fair enough. Just wanted to make sure EC staff understood what I was proposing.
