How will Square Enix explain... THIS?

[Adrian74]

I'm sorry but I don't know anything about that weird fan festival...

Could someone explain a little or basically confirm if this was an event? I'd appreciate an answer of the community managers since I'm not the only one that was confused by this strange and not announced weird event that happened in Zodiark, Western Thanalan - Horizon's aetherite, people was puzzled.

I have to say it has more logic to think it was some kind of event than a super hacking, indeed, but still, many people confused and without a clear answer of the team about it there.

(If I'd be the GM realizying such an event I'd use the special channel in-game for advising about it [Not everyone watches forum and lodestone] Or I'd give some kind of Square Enix identification to the event names, for example creating names people wouldn't be able to register, using brakcets or symbols... "[Event]PlayerC Three" or "*E*PlayerA Four" for example.

Seriously?
