PSA: Play V portals have been fixed

This, and the fact that there was no server maintenance, not even a rolling channel restart, leads me to suspect that the fix, like the break, happened on its own.
It's possible that this event was coded in two parts, because it spans two patches. But due to some timezone confusion, there was a gap left between when the first part ended (Jan 17th, 23:59 UTC) and when the second part began (Jan 19th, 00:00 PST). However, I don't know for sure when it started working again.
Or maybe the team (in Korea) fixed it after the Americans had already gone to bed, so there was nobody to post a notice.
The event had 4 spare days (16 boxes) built into it.
We only missed out on 3 boxes.
Everything worked fine until the end of the day on January 17th.
January 18th (UTC) didn't work at all.
On January 19th, it was fixed at (or before) 10AM UTC (2AM PST).
So, at most, if you can only play late in the (USA) day (as Deathmobs suggested), you missed two days.
I don't remember, why did they extend it last time? Googling showed threads complaining about extended/unscheduled (?) maintenances preventing players with certain schedules from participating that day. To me, it seems like the event bugging out for an entire day and a half is worse.
I just don't think exaggeration ("3 days" "near-impossible") is the way to get it.
