It wasn't forgotten about, . We have it on our status page as "Resolved - Live events will remain disabled indefinitely until we are better able to investigate and ascertain if they can be fixed. " on the 16th. We're trying to figure out why it broke so many things, but it was def one of the issues during Masq.
Also with Vesnali around the corner - another holiday that involves a LOT of events going out - it's good to keep them off for now anyway :) One of the major things affected by the events was the ability to go through CWs (as in, we couldn't at all, haha!) so it's good for them to remain off for the time being.
