A reminder to everyone that Chris Wilson made the Darkshrine 5-week event, by himself, in a week. GGG isn't willing to put even that much effort into PoE 1 now.

A few weeks ago, we realised we had a problem. The Flashback events would be ending on the 2nd of November but there would still be five weeks after that until the next challenge leagues could be released.
Since all our developers are busy working on future content, there would have to be a gap where Standard and Hardcore would be the only leagues running. We weren't really happy with that.
Back in the good old days of Closed Beta when both the company size and player expectations were smaller, we used to be able to throw together some content and have players testing it in a short amount of time.
So I decided to see what I could throw together. Could I put together a fun league entirely by myself in a week?
