Monster Forest Online “I love Monster Forest” Event Canceled

AsiaSoft has announced that they will be canceling the “I Love Monster Forest” event for Monster Forest Online. They canceled the event with the following message:

Dear Tamers,

I have a piece of sad news for all of us here. We have come to a conclusion that we need to postpone this event till further notice.
It would be inappropriate for us to continue this event any further as it would only cause distress to the participants.

Kindly accept our deepest apology for this issue for we have not handled it to the best that we can.
Do bear with us as we shift our attention to fixing the bugs of the game client as well as to take some of your feedback into consideration.

Thank you for your support thus far!

I, personally, wish to applaud them for focusing on crushing the bugs in their game. I have played too many MMOs where the developers chose to work on future content, instead of fixing the bugs, which in turn destroy the game (SAGA Online anyone?), Hopefully the event can be started in future when the game polished more. If the event is released in the future, it will include:
