The Event Currency freebie is granted through a referral code in the email which activates on Inno's Servers... I would HOPE they know exactly who has claimed it, and thus caused a script to run on their own hardware which directly, automatically, and in real-time alters the functionality of its users' software, or we're all just waiting for some infuriating Bitcoin miner or other malware to decide that Inno is a worthwhile target...! Heh.Hopefully (big hopefully) Inno knows who didn't get the email
In fact, Inno can of course add or remove Event Currency from all of us at will, so waiting for the next Event isn't even necessary. It might take someone, somewhere a bit of time to find out who has/hasn't activated the code and manually run the script to add Currency to the Accounts of those players who have lost out this time, but I bet software can do most of that anyway - and even if not, well : do Inno's functionaries have something better to do than rectifying their OWN mistake, which has annoyed/disadvantaged many of their players, and created inequality in their Event....?
According to Inno a couple of years ago, ~40 people, which was then around 10% of their employed staff, work on Elvenar. Are they ALL too busy?
... and I would HOPE this will happen, too, plus a bit extra to make up for the aggro (as with other gaming companies for whom player loyalty and customer satisfaction - not to mention fairness, and pride in the game - are still A Thing, as my kids put it). But I won't be holding my breath!and sends them extra currency for the next event.
Go on, @InnoGames : confound all us haters with a surprise generosity attack! I dare you...
