- Ex) The game opened at 11:00 am and a user accomplished the mission, however, the emoticon reward event will open at 2:00 pm.
- To minimize CS cases, the following process is recommended.
- Before the event begins, collect the information of users who accomplished the event missions. Once the event begins, batch process the information and issue rewards.
- Disable the Get Emoticon button from the game client until the event begins.
