SE say that the people who pay up to now will get to the the 7th umbral era events, but when it comes to the event the get everyone who has ever played to jump on... Yes they restricted logins but from what I hear they didn't stop people with out an active account logging on completely.

While we were paying (even the Atomos event) this didn't happen, therefore it's the quitters who are taking up the server... Seriously I bet none of them gave SE a penny outside of the box sale, whereas someone who played from the alpha, and while there were a few billing issues I did get every month paid for... Why should I not see the event for some quitter who probably only paid 1 month (if that).

The problem isn't the servers as much as SE opening them to everyone recently.
