Your View: Events

Would you like to see more GM and Event team run events in 2.5, or would you prefer the current more hands off approach currently? If so, what kinds of events would you like to see?

More events ran by Event Team and GMs. More danger and chaos. Don't give us more of these "lets all be friends and hold hands! here's some cake!" events like we had in early Asulon. Do the fire mage thing again if you can. That was cool.

Personally, I'm more in favor of a more GM/Event Team involvement. I'll admit I might be slightly biased in that regard. However, I'm a little confused as to why the two need be separate in the first place. There is absolutely nothing stopping a player from creating their own events, without the event teams help. I'm not sure why the question is phrased as if the choice is between players creating events and GMs/Event Team creating events.

It seems to me that a better question is "What do you expect from events? How would you prefer events to happen?"

The Event Team are waiting to try make more spontaneous and great Events however the plugins we once used aren't there for us in the snap of a finger. So there has been a lack of Events lately, however Zarsies, Kitten, Tommy and Megacomet have been doing a great job recently trying to keep active whilst the plugin is getting fixed. Thats my excuse as to why there hasn't been as much Events lately, however in response to the fire mage Event that is no longer being continued due to it being Freya's own Event that she created.

It would be cool if the GMs/Event Team would randomly create events along with player events. In that way, there would be more events around the whole map.

This question is absurdly obvious. Of course people want more events - It is half the reason I'm never on LoTC; Because nothing ever happens that progresses.

But, in saying that. According to Viper3X, our coders have decided that an event team tool is useless. So we're in a pickle.

Yes I think we should have more events. I remember events back in Aegis used to get hundreds of players to with each other and it was really fun.

[Skippy 2466]

I want more events. Ones ran by GMs and Event Team. Why not players? Because most players won't get off their arses and attempt to make events. I actually want to have FUN events, and most players can't even pull off making an event in the first place. I trust the GMs and the Event Team in making an entertaining event more than the playerbase.

Make the volcano erupt and explode into lava, then blazes, pigmen, and ghasts come out when it explodes and begin to attack the nearby settlements.

More events! I really enjoy events :D (As I'm sure most people do)

[Stag 3230]

I love doing events for the players and have no problem continuing to but what I think this question is asking is what type of events do you want?

Also by other comments from the team, I think they are suggesting that the community become more involved in shaping events.

We do have an event proposal forum

http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/forum/104-event-proposals/

Please post any ideas you have here.

The post doesn't need to be super detailed.

Think of it as brainstorming.

More events.

I've been part of this server for a while now but I haven't been able to make it on for most of the events that have happened. It's always a treat to log in to find something like a giant slime fighting three drakes.

It's not like having more big events will reduce the amount of player-made ones we have by that much.

However, I do have one concern. I asked this question in a different Events thread. Are we going to be able to keep coming up with fresh, new event ideas without having to resort to using the same ones over and over again?

Players don't have permission to make new evil/supernatural characters for events and they don't have server permissions to do anything grand.

The same amount of detail and work goes into a successful event regardless of what side you're on. GMs are required to build lore as much as the Event Team, and from experience, the Event Team have to build up a pre-story / plotline / event beforehand too.

Any player can create an Evil character. -- Hell, I'm trying to do so right now, so far it's going good.

Some players just can't be bothered to go to the effort, because they are the ones wanting the fun, which is entirely understandable, I'd be the same. Then there is the makers. Who enjoy making for others. I like to think I'm one of them at least.

More events would be really great but more adventerous and battle events. Or maybe like an assassination or disaster that affects the server or atleast a nation greatly.
