Event General

Players should now receive a warning when the event is about to expire. After this warning the drug Spawner will cease production and new players will no longer be able to accept the event-related missions. After this warning will be a grace period where player’s can keep their mission and event-specific locations will continue to buy Maze at an increased price.
Maze sell price at event-specific drop-off locations should now be correctly increased for the duration of the event.
