Seasonal Event
Seasonal Events are events that occur in game over a short period of time. The shortest events are a single real-life day, others may last for a weekend or a month. Many Seasonal Events can be considered semi-scheduled. These events are pre-planned by Developers to occur at certain times of year or to activate every few months. Progress on Game updates can delay or speed up the schedule though. Information on player-organized events can be found on the Community Events page.
