Every once in a while, the event seems to either end prematurely without notice. It will say there are x minutes left, but then checking again, it says the next even will be in x time.

I had it happen to me once, but I thought maybe I read the message wrong, now a player pointed out exactly what happened to me.

Player description: "I logged in today at about 9:40 AM, the /dtd event was going on and indicated 3 min left. On my way to said located with about 2 min left, I do /dtd to get a distance check and get a No event, next even in 1 hr 48 min..."

Is this still happening, @Bumfuzzler ?

I haven't been able to duplicate it. I'll ask to see if someone has seen it happening.
