Sorry to complain but, I've like been waiting 2 months or so for the 50% off of rubies you know, when like let's say, a bakery cost 1,250 rubies right? Well, the thing that I've been waiting for is when it is reduced to 625 rubies. And the Kings banner is like 4,900 rubies and that little chest with the toy dolls in it makes it 2,450 rubies. That's what I'm talking about. Sorry, I've just been waiting FOREVER for that to happen again! X(X(

Yeah, they don't do that very often. I've been playing for about 6 months, and I can only remember seeing it 3 times. Probably doesn't boost ruby sales enough for GGS.

It appears randomly. It might appear twice in 1 day and then not again for a year. But you weren't online 24/7 for those 2 months, were you? It's likely that it appeared while you were at school/work or sleeping or offline.

Tough luck dude, you just missed one 3 hours ago. Another month of wait for you!
Just kidding. The system gives it out randomly. They're very rare.

I've only got it twice in 13 months. It only starts the 24 hour countdown when you log on and it is personally for you when it happens. Nobody else has the same one.

No. That's different to the sale. That's the loyalty bonus, which is unique to you, lasts for 24 hours and must have some sort of requirement, but one that's unknown to me. We're talking about a normal 90 minute sale which is the same for everyone, but instead of getting more rubies when you buy them, you get the 50% discount when buying ruby stuff in-game.

I've been in this game since, well, look at my join date, and have seen 1 ruby sale and 2 loyalty bonuses. The loyalty bonuses are possibly for something like logging in every day for a month, but I don't really know. Does anyone know or want to guess the criteria for the loyalty bonus offers?

Why are you waiting for a 50% off anything spent with rubies that hardly ever comes? Just buy rubies when they have a 100% bonus and it works out the same real dollars required.

Um... this one doesn't cost anything. This is one where you get a 50% discount on all stuff in-game bought with rubies: bakery level 1 would cost 625 rubies, for instance. It's not hard to get some rubies for free, so you really should use it.
It appears, according to estimates, once a month. You must be lying when you say you've seen it thousands of times, even when you're exaggerating. You've seen it 6 times, maximum.

1. Some people (like me), don't buy rubies for personal reasons. They can't buy stuff with the 100% bonus but can wait for the sale and get 4/5 bakeries.
2. You can get them both! Why not get the 100% bonus (which, buy the way, comes just as rarely as the -50% bonus) and the -50% in-game bonus? That works out to a quarter of the real currency as normal. There's no point wasting $10 or £5 or 7 Euros (extremely rough currency conversions done mentally based on month-old figures) on something when you can get it for $2.50 or £1.25 or 1.75 Euros.

I believe that it is run systematically so that it reaches a certain amount of offers for a month. The loyalty bonus comes on for everyone at the same time, as do all other events. It would be convenient for a warning of some sorts to let us know when these are. But that would just give an excuse for some to go on for only 100% sale.I've been in this game since, well, look at my join date, and have seen 1 ruby sale and 2 loyalty bonuses.

As for the 50% bonus, I have seen it 3 times I believe. And that has been over the last 6 months or so. When it does come on, it is useful.

I am fairly sure that it says that it is unique to you, and am 99.999% sure that it is unique to you whether it says that or not.
The whole point of these things is to get people to be active. You can't just announce when the next offer is - that would ruin the whole thing. You might as well just double the rubies you get for your money and then half the cost of everything in-game.
Any other guesses?

It seems to come about once a month.
