7The Apology Day/Weekend is a spontaneous event set up as compensation for a rollback or any system/server related failures. During the event, IAP (In-App Purchases) will give you 25% more gems, and all players have a chance of getting a lucky drop when breaking blocks.

This bonus only applies to blocks which normally drop gems and seeds. It also gives Lucky! Mod to all players until the end of the day.
In addition, a special item is usually available during these events to commemorate the work lost to the rollback prior. The Rollback Plaque, Rollback Plaque II, Rollback Plaque III and Rollback Plaque IV were available for the first, second, third and fourth Apology Weekends/Day respectively.
