Thank you for the consideration.

If you're trying to decide on a friendly happy hour time for the American continents - I think between 1:00 and 5:00 AM in game time (aka soon after reset) would be ideal.

However - it would still be HIGHLY preferable to have a temporary aura that people could activate for personal happy hours of their own choosing IMO, and here's why:

The goal is to bring the community together, right? Y'all at Jagex could still make it usable on only a handful of worlds so that everybody is still brought together continuously all hours of every day. There would always be a healthy crowd.

Why is this only on certain worlds? I can never actually get in and enjoy the event properly due to massive lag, Surely spreading it across a good number of servers would be better than what it currently is, even with 2 more servers the lag is unbearable, also not to happy about being limited to 100 tokens a day unless I buy more with runecoins, I pay for a monthly membership I don't really want to have to pay more to take proper part in an event. Surely being able to find tokens while skilling or from combat would have been better instead of what seems like a paywall to get all the rewards.

The JMods have to be in-game to manually kick off the start of the happy hour events each time. There'll be a whole lot of players on each of the worlds during the happy hour times of course, but offering the events on six worlds is pretty good, I think.

Not to be a pessimist but I'm hoping weekends won't be chaotic with only one Happy Hour a day.

Not complaining, just informing...

My clan's home world is 82. During the Happy Hour today while I was online, I lagged badly. Took about 3 minutes to get from the fortune teller stands to the agility course. Didn't feel very agile! lol I ended up leaving the fayre and the game to sleep without trying out the agility course because I was afraid I would miss the click cues from the lag (there were 999 people on the world when I logged out- I looked.)

I get that they are setting them of manually but why cant they have it automatically?
Plus while i do think the 100 tokens thing is a shame there isn't much that they can do without devaluing the runecoins people have already spent. Ah well no point complaining Love runescape to much to quit over one little thing, so might aswell just try to enjoy the event as much as possible and get as much easy xp as i can :)

My assumption is that it just may not be technically feasible to create an auto-happy-hour system for a temporary event. I suppose we never know, though - maybe it'll be automated at some point. :)

As for the tokens, they announced some changes today including increased ticket rates in order to make all rewards obtainable through the daily tokens.
