If I understand the postings, for those of you outside the USA, the event has started and I say it's about time BFS starts events based on time zones so that everyone gets the same amount of time for the event.
No, all events and releases do start at the same moment which is connected to different times all around the world. The date that they mention refers to their time zone (Boulder). Here in Europe it's often a day later then anounced when something starts or ends in DV.
But what I would really like is that they would synchorinize double weekends with the magic reset. I mean that the beginning and end of the possibility to get double magic (roses) should be at the moment when the magic resets (when the counter against the daily caps are set to zero again). We usually have to wait 12 hours during a collection period until the doubles begin. For some people this is just before sleeping time and after the night, there's not much time till the counter resets. That's a bit unfair. If doubles and reset would be synchronized, everybody could collect just as usual.
Whatever time they did it would disadvantage some one.... my park resets around 1am... that's potentially 5 hours wasted while I'm sleeping.... At least it's better than the first event whereby the 24hrs reset when you remembered to look at your game so the reset was all over the place and kept getting pushed longer into the day!

It's Feb 5th, 5:30 am here. I woke up to... nothing. I guess I'll wait until midday to start collecting coins. Might plant some treats in anticipation...

Good thinking. I almost played this morning, but then stopped myself when I remembered the event last second.
How about our colosseum? Should we hold off emptying it & restarting until the event begins? What is best strategy? Is 8:01 AM here in Florida now & i think the winter event started a little after 12 noon EST (around 1:30 PM).... but it also seemed that the winter event ended later than that?...(did they extend the time for us?) I can't remember (i need to keep better notes!) I think my colosseum is ready to empty around 10:40 AM .... would it be best to go ahead & empty & restart at that time or hold off until the valentine event begins?

Just a reminder that if the new dragon is indeed an epic or limited dragon, the next Last Call competition will be launched very soon after its release. Sign up here!

Just checked the go-live times for the last two events and both of them went live around 10:30 am BFS time and 5:30 pm UK time.... So expect it to happen very soon! .......Hopefully

Can't wait to participate in my first last call event.
Still, I have come to loathe these events. They put pressure on me and I just don't feel like it's dragonvale anymore. Too much pressure... I don't like...

The only irritating thing for me in these events is that you can only collect a small amount of currency each day. I wish there wasn't a cap so the people who play often are rewarded more than the people who only check-in once a day.

I agree. But I don't mean something which gets small rewards but takes time like the Santa of last event. No, I mean when the cap is very high, with no diminishing rate! This is better. I still hate the events....
Everyone is saying, "I'm missing two iceberries," or "I'm doing this, that or the other,", but I'm always about 1000 behind by the end because I haven't got that time to spend. I think two events a year is plenty and perhaps even one too many.
Seriously dragonvale, stop it. I wou d prefer not to have one unless it is more like the magic event, and introduces a whole new type of dragon.

I love the events and all the stuff that comes with them, like extra habitats and one off special prizes. I'm fortunate to be very silly spending real money to make sure I get everything without the stress of having to be a slave to collecting! Of course I collect as much as I can but I don't stress if I miss some as I know I can catch up when there's a double weekend with a little purchase. But I totally understand why others don't enjoy them so much.

I'm with you, I like all the things the events add to my park and I also like to give a little back to BFS every couple weeks anyhow to say thank for the game and keeping it going. I really don't change my habits for these events much at all and if anything, I get on maybe once or twice less a day to let the smaller habitats (metal really) have a chance to fill. Koala to all as it should kick off in about 5 min
Looking around and enjoying life!
All Dragons are safely in their habitats or in the HC
