Not really I lack a life so I've been part of the event since the start, but yeah it sucks if you have to miss it. But life happens. Sorry you've missed much of it, but there's still time?
For me, real life is better than a game site, so consider yourself lucky that you have a life going on :) Morostide is fun, but at the same time, it happens every year, you'll get to it eventually.
Lurking like lurkers do...
