We most likely will not extend the event, but it is slated to come back later this year for another run. With some improvements based on player feedback.

I hope making the trash enemies not such a snoozefest slog is on that list of adjustments.

Having tough ass annoying trash enemies that respawn every 30 seconds adds nothing to the mode. Big groups steamroll them anyway so it's just insufferable for solo and small groups just trying to collect 3 dumb little items scattered around the district.

What happens with the achievements you didnt collect?

they remain incomplete until you complete them.
The Night Market returns in Season 2 and probably every other Season after so 4,6,8 and so on.

We're only guaranteed to see the NM two more times, for a total of three so everyone has a chance to do each Faction if they want. After that it may never come again, as currently it's not meant to be a permanent Zone. ZOS said if it gets enough engagement it might become a permanent thing but as it stands now it isn't meant to keep coming back.

I don’t believe that’s what they meant by permanent versus non permanent. Permanent would probably mean that it’s open 24/7. Writhing wall, which was intended to only happen once, has no in-game achievements.

I think I am lucky enough that I personally will be able to finish on time, without needing an extension, so I can't honestly say that I want/need one... but it definitely did take prioritizing this content over anything else in game and also prioritizing the game a couple of times over real life conflicts where normally the game wouldn't take precedence.

I still take the stance that the NM is generally a fun time, but the pressure to complete group content within a timeline, combined with the key situation, is problematic. If it was a permanent fixture, and/or guaranteed to return, and/or significantly easier to join a pug for the dungeons and trials because keys don't need to be recreated every run... then it would have felt a little more fun and a little less like a job.

So while it's already been answered by the devs, I would have supported additional time for others.

At one point the NM was cited as "experimental" content which meant that yes, it may never come again. If ZOS has confirmed that it's been successful enough that we can be comfortable it will be in the permanent rotation, I missed it or have not seen it. I'm still working off the assumption that if I don't get all the achievements in the first round of Night Markets, there's a chance I'll never be able to get them. I would love to see the devs clarify this for everyone.

there's no reason for an extension, IMO, unless zos gives us an option to spend favors on something useful (non-cosmetic)

While not as bad as the Wall event, this event has been around long enough. Unfortunately like that event, there's a significant proportion of players that want to rush content, so that now it's getting harder to find groups (at least in my usual playtime).

While I can empathize with people wanting more time to complete content at their leisure, feeling obliged to participate every day feels like a chore the longer the Night Market is open. You can complete several daily quests solo with the right build, or lots of invisibility potions, but the two big reward dailies require a group to complete for most players.

For me at least we need downtime between events, I don't want this running into Zenithar's or beyond.

They meant experimental as in new zone type. They plan on bringing the NM back. There was player discussion about keeping it open all the time (which is what permanent meant) but I think that would be a mistake.

As for clarity from the Devs:
