Some people have jobs that makes it impossible for them to access the internet at all for days or even weeks. Bad enough these people often miss such events as double experience days. This should be added to the game as an achievement set once the special event period is over, with an alternate path to earn the rewards.
Think of who this type of thing often discriminates against: Soldiers in field exercises, or deployed, firemen currently fighting a forest fire, personnel in extended rescue operations. I personally know people that enjoy playing runescape, in all three of these situations. I was one of the above prior to retiring.
