We haven't had one in awhile, anyone missing them?
We used to get them like every single month!

I believe Nexon might be trying to tone down on such events because it was starting to discourage gameplay on normal days.
Other than that, they used it as compensations for big problems or on special days.

the thing i hate about double rainbows, Double AP etc. Is that they come when your not ready. While some people get to use it to the fullest extent. Some of us are at like level 120/25 and cant really use it that well. By the time we can, the events over. Wish they would tell us ahead of time, atleast two days in advance.

They would make SO much more money if they gave us a week in advance notice.

Don't think about it and it'll come eventually. Though usually I find DRs being held on the weekends.

In my experience they come after major problems, as an apology.
And no, a few channels crashing for a day or two is not a major problem in mabi's eyes.

They generally spam double rainbows or AP events when I decide to quit mabi. It's what happened the past 2 times I quit.
So look out for whenever I quit again, they should be right around the corner.

They generally don't host many DR events around this time of year. DRs usually start to resurface in frequency around mid-summer and go all out late September through November.
Aside from that, they either are hosted during a really bad screw-up as compensation, or during the most whimsical moods of Nexon. You're better off not expecting them now, but preparing for them later.

I wish they would give a heads up notice about the ones that are out of the usual holiday or special occasion ones too. I find it rather disappointing when it happens at the peak of my rebirths.
Aside some that, it's usually holidays, special occasions, compensations, and the occasional surprise-when-you-already-levelled days.
Permanent content such as AP events and AP dailies feel like they're making up for the lack of DRs AP-wise regardless, though. I still miss that 4x+ training.
It'd still be nice to get some more DRs in for things like Engineering too. That's what i'm hoarding all my materials for. [Image: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9gckaC0xm1qzckow.gif]

How was it discouraging?
I'm quite annoyed that they didn't compensate us for the server crashes...

Any problem that happens needs to be compensated right? This is exactly why they dont want to release a ton of dr's all the time, because then people expect it and cry when it doesnt happen for the smallest things....

Can't wait to play Mabinogi this summer and see if a lot of new players come in, or people might rejoin.
It was always fun playing Mabinogi in the summer...

Because whenever they start doing lots of double rainbow events many players, myself included, won't play during the week.

I am kind of hoping if they win that FTP Poll they might give a double rainbow or something. I would agree they probably do more events during summers or major breaks. I can see why they might be moving away from DRs and AP events because a few months back they were giving them out like candy.
