Somebody must have quite a scrambled view of reality....do they even know their own game?
With no advance notice, I am not going to stay up late every night just to see if an event will start. And the only way to catch up would be to spend gold, which seems to have been GGS's goal from the start.
I enjoyed the convenience subscription because it turned this game from a clicking game to more of a planning game. But its main benefit for me was HWE and there is no longer a reason for me to keep it.
As others have said, I don't necessarily need a month-long calendar. But something along the lines of a weekly list of events or consistent 3 days notice would make me consider starting the subscription again.
And the Farmer's League event completely undermines GGS' reasoning for canceling the calendar (per the announcement - "we have to cancel and reschedule all our lovely events"). Farmer's League relies on FHWE, HWE, CC, and VF all being known internally and scheduled in advance.
I also agree with @artful (US1) that herring can be tough to get for those that are not able to clear their pools on a regular base. Or have not figure out the re-spawning patterns of their pools. It has take me a long time but I have finally got a cycle going so I end up with at least 1 pool of each type of fish when my pools do re-spawn
As a 3 day event it is entirely down to chance and probably not worth putting any effort or gold into.
At this time holding more than 1 ship of oyster's, now herring is shooting your self in the foot. Or in this case the ship
We may still be able to gather enough information to put together our own calendar. I personally have been keeping very close track of all the co op & HW events since they stopped supplying us with notice for the events/calendar.
And thanks to @Southern (US1) calendars & the ones supplied by the Mod's here on the forum. I've jotted down the orders they have come up over the past 5 months. There is a pattern forming, just not sure how the "Farmer's League" will effect the orders if any. Should be able to tell by December

And what for?
Not to criticize you Wascally but since the "change of communication" GGS hardly communicate anything anymore, and that is putting it mildly. The moderators often have no answer and CM's seems to have vanished.
Not only the customers are left in the dark but also the moderators.
As for the announcements ingame...when one is already online, you don't even see them. How does it even work? Someone at GGS comes in at work in the morning, decides at that moment which event he/she feels like and pushes a button and activates the corresponding announcement? I am not promoting more popups but give the info we need in a popup and get rid of all those ridiculous expensive "offers".
Downtime....why an announcement on the forum instead of an ingame announcement including the reason why.
Every Sunday, at the end of the scoring week, post a schedule of what's coming that week. Maybe that would be easier than attempting to have "A big ole' bad 30 day calendar". I concluded GG quit posting start ups because things mess up so much THEY never know what's next.
Why we get the ridiculous announcement popups after events start is even more puzzling. If you sent the popup, it could be sent two days earlier just as easily. I too have nothing to do with FB, twitter or social media by choice.
I'm not paying them, I'm paying you to play your game. You show a CC clock, and its part of Farmer's League, Why can't you do the same for Village Fair and Hard Worker?
Having these events back to back is ridiculous. That creates stress, not pleasure. Overlapping events does the same. We have no time to work our farms without 5-6 different things going on at the same time. That's not fun and its driving off players. Allow a day or two between competitions. They lose any significance when they run all the time.
The other thing that needs to be resolved NOW is the unfair start times of all the competitive events. For a while, the start times alternated. Now if you play on the US server, you have to stay up to 3-4 a.m. to be able to play from the start of the events. That's insane.
Certainly GGS has the technological capacity to start things in an equitable manner. You are slaughtering your own business. The average person can't stay up all night to START a game. This is causing many disgruntled players and makes it hard for Co-ops to recruit & retain players who can be competitive. Players who work and have families can't stay up all night to do that, yet working players can spend their earnings on entertainment. There are plenty of other games to play that aren't so unorganized, and inconsiderate of the playing and paying public. We have choices. Why not give the players some respect and consideration? It doesn't cost you anything to do this. Losing players every week does.
