@Android303: It´s 5 - I did not count the Mermaid.
On the live worlds, in 2022 there were the following events:
- Winter Grepolympia 2022: 18.01. - 30.01.2022
- Aegean Battleships 2022: 01.03. - 14.03.2022
- Mythical Hen 2022: 11.04. - 01.05.2022
- Tyche´s Wheel of Fortune 2022: 23.05. - 06.06.2022
- Summer Grepolympia 2022: 04.07. - 15.07.2022 (+ 2 shop days)
And it was the same on Beta, only that all events started some weeks earlier (for Beta testing, of course).
You will see that there were only 4 weeks or less between the events, regularly, and I really don´t know where you might have counted 2 to 3 months between events. The last time I have seen a gap of 2 to 3 months between events was the year 2013 (Good old times!^^).
And to remind you all: In 2021, Summer Grepolympia was not the fifth, but the seventh event this very time of the year. We had 14 events in total, with sometimes only a few event-free days in between them. I was a bit shocked when I read that you think days without event are "boring" and "without life". On the contrary, imo events have sucked a lot of "life" out of the game, with so many players now expecting to be served bonusses by the dozens/to be entertained by endless events instead of entertaining themselves in the game.
So thanks to InnoGames for (seemingly) not repeating last year´s obvious mistake.
45% of the days being event days in 2022, however, is not only "sufficient", but still an awful lot, to be honest. We might be back to the "usual" 10 events per year in 2022, and before literally drowning in events last year, we had found even that a bit too much.
The German Wiki has always been tracking the number of events per year, and taking a look on the development over the years might be interesting:
