Let me just start off by saying thank you all for the feedback that you have given us on this issue! It was very helpful when we were discussing the matter at our meeting on Sunday during the evening. A lot of ideas were thrown around and it was very hard for us to decide what the best way to go was. After discussing the issue of HOST events not looping or letting very many guests in while also taking in the feedback on this post, we as a staff have decided that the following will be the best option for the time being:
For the rest of October, we will keep the process that has been being carried out already. If a HOST does have a loop occur during an event within the time period that the event was scheduled, the event will not be extended. If a HOST does not have a loop happen during an event within the time period that the event was scheduled, the event will be extended until either it loops or the time of the event has reached 1 hour and 30 minutes.
For November, we will put into place a new system for HOST events. Morning events, events that are scheduled before 2 P.M., will be held for 1 hour and Afternoon/Evening events, events that are scheduled after 2 P.M., will be held for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The scheduled extension of events will be run as a trial throughout the month of November. We hope that these adjustments will help to provide all of our guests with an improved/equal chance of getting into the HOST events they are able to attend and possibly win the weekly HOST prizes we have to offer. Should the changes in event times prove to be ineffective, other options will be explored, meaning the event times may be adjusted further. We will be continuing to think of new and improved ways at making HOST events more enjoyable for our guests in the future, and encourage any and all feedback to be shared with us.
