Site Update
Congratulations! You did it!
1,770,000,000 BP Sunk in 6 HOURS!
You unlocked all the BP Sink tiers and now have access to all the bases available for the Mineral Crystal! The new bonus SCC bases will be added to the Knowledge Base when the article is updated sometime tomorrow.
In the meantime, enjoy the bases that were unlocked and have fun coloring them! And hopefully this event has helped drain a lot of the BP out of the economy and stabilized some of the prices.
The Mineral Crystal has been put into the BP Shop for a slightly higher price. You may buy this item until April 1, in which it will be removed. The custom maker can be used indefinitely.

It could have just been kept open.. With a 25 billion goal so it won't shut down. Then it would still be at the same price... Seems like a simple and fair solution to me.

Honestly they THOUGHT it would take more then 6 hours. They probably thought it would be open for more then 24 to be fair. It was a simple mistake because they couln't predict the actions of strangers and their pixil money accurately.
Not the problem some people are making it seem like.
They are at least still offering the item in the shop instead of saying "too bad so sad". As for keeping it open they already near doubled the BP sink to try to help. And then put the item in shops for only a little more money and some people are selling theirs in user shops for close to the 3 mill point. .

Crap attack. lol. That was FAST. Would have sank all the money I had if I knew it would be so fast. Oh well, Ill just buy one more crystal, (since so far only 3 bases make me go "EEEEP, Must has this") lol. Over all it was fun, and got my levels a few higher in adventuring.

Some of the bases look really great!
I'm pretty new here, but I think I know what my first big purchase will be, now just hoping that I will be able to get enough bp to buy it in time
Then the hardest part will be to decide on what base to use x)
I really love the first one and the dragonlike one holding the glowing light^^

I do agree.. The event was set up with the teirs & no one could guess exactly when or if the Goal Price was going to be meet. No one can predict that in 6 hours there would be almost 2 Bil Droped. I Do hope people realize No one can predict How an event will turn out. I mean Like when You firs tlook at the event and it says 1 Billion BP goal. The first thought 99% of the site who sees it will think " OMG wow thats a lot of BP how will we ever reach it" Right?? I mean that was my first thought liek.. wow i dont think 1 bill will be easy to make.
I thought it be At lest one week before it would Hit even 500 Mil. But woke up and saw that it had finished and then some. almost 2 Bil there. And seems Liek because it finished so Fast the site decided to Put the crystal In the BP shop because they knew not everyone would of been up for the event and wanted to give others a chance to get it. Yes it is a bit more then the events cost.. BUT i do not understand why people complain.... People Get Free premi Items once a Month & sell them for GP/BP. People get Items during events and sell them for GP/BP and during Limited events We get Items for.. example 500k bp When that event ends You will look in user shops & they will be say 2 Mil for that item for the lowest price. And people still buy them even at the way higher price. Myself Paid 15 GP for a Custom maker that was Free during older event that i wasnt here for. So yes it may be a bit of a bummer to pay more for it But thankfully the Site gave us the choice to still be able to Buy the items After the Goal was meet.
----
For those who didnt make the 3 Mil Bp. I do wish there was a way for the event to Open up for any who had Bp and have it set to Return Your BP Or let you Finish the 3 Mil.

While this is a GREAT idea, I love currency-sinks on any website, I find it kind of counter-intuitive to actually.... shut it down. I mean folks who didn't make it aside, if you're going to have a BP sink, gold sink, treasure sink, whatever, wouldn't it be more beneficial to set a TIME it'll last, say 2 days for example, and then just let it sit, rather than an actual curency-goal? So this doesn't happen.
Then, alongside still having the SCC bases limited and not over-saturated, you still have a LOT of BP sunk out of the system. I mean clearly people here are willing to sink, so I don't think that would be much a problem in the future! I'd love to see longer sinks. Can you imagine how much more would be filtered out of the system if this had been going on today too? I'm not saying a week-long thing here, just maybe 24 hours to 2 days. Just something to think about in the future.

But then if the price of the crystal was at 3 mil those with premium would still get it much cheaper thsn those without, still causing issues. I do agree that there should have been a warning before the shut down, but its over a done now. I do feel bad for those that missed, but there have been events I missed before and I had to get the item later at a higher rate. It happens. My life, kids and hubby come first. I'll just grind a little more adventure and sell off some more items if I want event stuff I missed.
