Will we gain an extra day of Login event since today the game has been down?

[Mysticales]

Question of the day, since it "seems" most of July 12th being down for maint, will we gain an extra day to login and not miss a days worth of logging in?

Actually, we would need about 3 more days added on.

1 login : 10 points
2 logins : 30?
I already have 2-3 logins and if it gets set back to 1, i have to get my second and so on over again.

From the way things were worded on the page about the login event, it doesn't appear that the points are based on consecutive logins, just on the number of times logged in.

So - barring the system coming back up within the next 11 1/2 hours - it should just be one extra day needed.

I was just assuming. Why give extra points per login if they weren't consecutive?
Also, quoting the page: "* Please be aware that these points are only valid for Repeat Login Campaign No. 1." 'Repeat logins" Not really sure if they mean repeat as in more than once in the duration or consecutive. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

From what's being said, apparently most of the game (aside from, oddly, Horlais Peak) will be back up in about half an hour.

Do you mind linking to where you read this?

In terms of it: they mean that you'll receive an accumulating bonus each time you log in. If you log in for 5 days, you get 5 days worth of points. This meaning 5 straight days. However if you miss one of those days, you will still receive the accumulating bonus.

10
20
30
40
500

Now if we took out one of those logins, you do NOT lose your bonus, you instead keep accumulating. There's no consecutive log ins necessary. you can take a break one day, come back and get your 4th day in, then take the next day off, come back near the end and you'l have that 500 point bonus waiting for you.

Thank you for explaining that. Is there a resource where you could post that so people like me could learn how the system works? The official post about the campaign wasn't very in-depth about how it worked.

Here is the post that mangles - er, I mean, translates - what's going on. To summarize it in better English than the translation software:

Apparently some of the BCNMs in Horlais Peak were dropping unimplemented items in place of the correct drops; they've determined that none of the other BCNMs are doing this, and so everything except Horlais Peak will be back up in about 15 minutes. No ETA on when Horlais Peak will be fixed, however (though since it's just incorrect drop tables, that shouldn't take too much longer - maybe another hour or two?).
