I had one person ask why the requirements were so much more difficult on the tech tree than they were before....he was in CA.

Most of the event questlines contain one or more "Exchange x goods to the AD" or do several 24h productions instead. How exactly should this *speed up* the game?

Researching Special Events in IA does not unlock seasonal events if the Welcome Event is running. This may be intended, but if the event is going to be placed in a pipeline, I don't understand why a separate research is needed for it. I unlocked the research hoping to unlock the seasonal event, but I had to wait 7 days.
While the Welcome Event is a good one, it is not engaging apart from the beginning of the day when 800 paper money is given, which gets spent in 2 minutes. The rest of the day is spent waiting for the FP bar to fill up so that we can complete the story quests.
It would be nice to have the special event running in parallel because the Welcome Event leaves plenty of room to play it and 7 days of it does not have to get wasted.
P.S. We do get the seasonal event currencies even while the Welcome Event is running along with all the Rival Quests. But it's ironic because we don't know where to spend Wildlife Coins or pop 15 blue tiles. We even get the daily challenges for the seasonal events.

Looks like the test ended with negative results, I see most of the changes restored to their previous state such as Quests, Research Tree requirements, Continent Map, etc with the exception of the Welcome Event.

Yes, I also had to wait to end the welcome Event to be able to participate in the St. Patricks Event. Did not feel very good

It literally is just 8 clicks a day to roll the dice and then wait for the next day to get more paper money (or 7 days to pass quickly so that the main event can unlock)! It blocks out the more important seasonal event which can give so many rewards.

I can't find an announcement where it would be reported about the beginning of testing the transfer of Special Events to IA and the appearance of a Welcome Event in BA. Please provide a link!

You're right, it is not mentioned anywhere.
But it is an event that runs for 7 days and hands you Buccaneers's Bay on the last day (if you play smartly) along with plenty of useful selection kits such as Fellowship and Anniversary. Other not so useful ones include Summer, Spring, Historial Questlines, etc. Renovation and One Up Kits provided too. I got 12 daily specials during the week. You may have played this event before, it has a board with 32 tiles which you move through using normal and golden dice.

How can this be? The announcement of the acceleration of the early eras mentions all the changes and technology transfers (there are quite a lot of them).

Because this was recently released, I guess it has been around 2 months.

That is correct it's under A/B test (in live servers too, by the way). I completed it today on the live server for my newest city.

Today I suddenly have the antique dealer. I did not do any research. I am still in Early Middle Ages. Yesterday the ruins of the dealer told me I would have to do some research in High Middle Ages to get the dealer. And the research tree still tells me that I get the dealer with Crossbows in High Middle Ages.

It appears the Company did an update to remove one or more A/B tests. I still had two research tasks in IA, that I specifically did not do yet. This morning they are completed, I have those new items in the Menu and a new Expansion that was unlocked by the completion of those research tasks. I also have access to Vikings, Japan and Egypt settlements, that I did not have yesterday.

It stopped appearing on live about a month ago, and today the official announcement has come that it has ended! To me personally it made no difference to my play style whether it was sped-up or not. Infact, it looks better now to go through the ages slowly than accelerate to CA in 1-2 weeks of starting the game and not getting to spend time in any age.
