If only Nexon gave away 2x exp cards (which can stack with others and last a week) during these events, it would prevent 2x exp event cluster-fck-glitch-ks-ing (new word for 2012?) at LHC and would make everyone happy for playtimes...

Don't do it kiddies!
Good on Nexon for actually thinking about their non American customers, but I still prefer the Hunter's Luck style 2x, would probably cause less server problems

I've never heard anyone here say "crack open a coldie" either. :f6:
But still, awww that's nice of Nexon to think of us. I'll be home on Australia day so I'll be able to log on for 2x exp. For once that I don't have to try to convert time zones for Nexon events!

"Fair dinkum," "Crack open a coldie."
I've never heard of those phrases...

Fair enough as I won't be going to school. 1 and half hours of 2x for me.
But yah like said, They should release those damn event coupons. Would fix a lot of problems.

The times don't match up correctly.
According to the Australian times it would be 9pm - 11pm Pacific, 12am - 3am Eastern.

My guess is that they converted from PST into Australian Standard Time, even though most of Australia is on Daylight Savings at the moment.
I'd expect it to actually go from 5 - 7pm AEST, but it's probably safer get on an hour early, just in case.

Oh yeah I was going by Victorian time. The times are correct for Western Australia and Queensland.
