Well this week is obviously the end, but I was worried they were going to stretch it to friday :S Although today is a little soon for some people too.
I think the best and most fair thing would be to just wrap it up with a final comic this Friday, without any further puzzles. This gives people two more days to find their mysterious scroll and the ones that have finished, won't have to stress anymore to solve the final puzzle as fast as possible the moment it gets discovered.
Fair to whom? Some of us are I'm sure eagerly awaiting the next phase (and other phases after that if they exist). Many people worked long and hard to get the current phases finished in time for the next and personally I'd be annoyed if it was brought to an early conclusion. I have no objection to running around the repo again, hmmmm, not too keen on more hour-long waits getting into the temple though
It feels to me like it is about over. I think the mysterious scroll will pose our last puzzle and it will break the curse and return the city to its normal plane of existance. That, combined with the fact the last comic is coming out makes me think it will end this week. They pretty much have to end it if they want to do something with the Darkest Faerie game that comes out next week. Having turned into the big business that they have, I think the higher-ups would feel its very important to connect the video game with the site in order to get everyone to put it on their holiday wish lists or otherwise spend their hard earned money on it.
That said, aside from the delays, I loved this plot. It's my second favorite plot next to the virtupets plot. Unlike the Mystery Island plot, it doesn't feel like it's coming to TOO much of an abrupt end. I love puzzles, I even make up my own. So the war plots have not been my cup of tea. I really wish this could go on forever, but I think it's naturally wrapping itself up. If it went on too much longer, it would be stretched.
However, there are some issues, like if the builders of the repository had the scroll to seal it in that secret room, why didn't they just fix everything before? But when I spot things like that, if I'm enjoying myself otherwise I try to just push it to the back of my mind and enjoy the rest.
