Hi Everyone,
There are various reasons that the berimond event had to be ended early globally:
The event had actually caused two servers to close temporarily (the polish and german servers), meaning players couldn’t login at all.
Events can only be ended globally, so the event couldn’t have just been ended for the servers affected by the inability to login.
I’d like to apologise for the inconvenience caused by the event ending early, and if anyone has any more questions, I’ll have a go at answering them if you post them below. There will also be a more detailed explanation coming later.
Additional Information:
Why did we have to end Berimond early?
With the last update we reworked the quest system which was designed to harmonize much better with all of the ingame events. Everything went fine and worked as intended but there was a special case where this optimization couldnt keep up with the Berimond mechanics. In this event you have quests about destroying another faction's tower. Once this was done, each player of a faction should have had this quest completed even if they didn't do it. At this point the server experienced a massively increased data load. The server tried to achieve this for thousands of players at the same time. The problem was only related to the questbook but it caused heavy problems to the server, which itself worked fine. The massive data load forced it to its knees, because a short-term solution couldnt be found at that point and to avoid further frustration and losses it was decided to go for a premature end of Berimond, for the sake of server perfomance. Since this is a global event it is not possible to just end the event on the affected servers. This is why it had to be done globally on all servers unfortunately.
What happens now?
The rankings have been saved for this event and this will be used to come up with an appropriate compensation package for all affected berimond players. The effort to take part in the Battle of Berimond will also be considered. On monday we will have more information for you about this.
I hope this extra information will help you to understand the situation a bit better!
More will come on monday 
Angus

People are going to need a lot more info and GGE are going to need to sort another comp pacckage. I have been building and about to start hitting when it went so a complete waste.

Thanks

maybe it is about time you abandoned the outdated flash and switched to HTML5. Flash is being abandoned by everyone

So spending the first day as I do building my camp and armies up so that I can start work on the second and subsequent days has been something of a waste of time! That's a kick in the teeth if ever there was one.
Come on GGS, you have to accept sooner or later the bugs are coming out thicker and faster than anything else. It's not exactly good for the game is it? About time the main focus was directed to bug fixes before bringing out new features that will only bring with them yet more bugs.
Angus I do hope they listen to you more than they do to the rest of us because this is getting beyond a joke.

is seems to be normal to end the events before the official closing time.

Well seriously this is annoying
first the ally tournament and now bm
guess you guys love screwing up.
So basically players work their a$$ off trying to achieve something and then a few hours warning is given that this event is gonna close.
and what do we have?
Stupid FI, the worst event ever, I wonder when that event is going to shut down, and why that event isnt causing any trouble.
Please GGE,
before you bring out any event, just ensure that everything is working fine.
This is crossing its limits. Too many people have spent a lot of time and just to find out that all thier planning is a waste.
Hope you'll keep this in mind.
No regards.

Sorry this isn't good enough I have spent a load of rubies on tools and carts was about to take 1st place how the hell can you end it mid flow!
What the f**k is wrong with you as a company!!!!!!!
Tell you what refund my 300k rubies Give me claw king title 1 million food and kiss my arse for forgiveness
Alliance event ends early because of a glitch then Beri ends early because of a glitch except with Beri no warning
You give us Foreign Invaders version 2 which no one wants and the prize on offer is something you have offered already
You don't work weekends, please tell me what do you do?, bunch of cr***ns

I would like to apply for the job as test manager at GGE. Must be the easiest job on the planet. You basically sit on your ass and do nothing all day long....
