I liked the event a lot with a couple of reservations that other people covered. My handful of insights after sleeping on it.

Strengths:
1) The event was spread out over different zones which mitigated zone stress from population significantly. This is huge. When you put an event with one boss fight or something similar in one central zone with ease of access, you get a fuggin' mess. Great job with this.

2) Because it was spread out, yes, people that could teleport were immediately put into a situation of peer pressure of "well hell. if I port to different continents without a full group of strangers wanting to do this, I'm a scumbag." - Soooo many players came together and chipped in to help others have fun with this. I saw it in every zone. This. Was. Neat.

3) Scripting was superb. I think some of the tricks were over-the-top harsh, like Ice Comet and the teleport to Kerra Isle, but the intent was great. The need to visit NPC's and get items for masks - very cool.

Weaknesses:

1) Uncertainty of how long the event would last: this has a big impact on a person being motivated to participate. When it started at 6:00 pm Pacific time, I had it in the back of my mind that the event would probably last for 6 to 8 hours, for people doing it on foot solo to complete. Nothing was announced, and we all learned it would last for much less than this. I'd like to ask that this concern be considered for the next event.

2) A lack of different tiers for levels of completion based on levels of characters for what they could actually do. Or perhaps for people with limited playtime. But you already covered this.

3) Prizes. Already covered, but I wanted to mention that Guises or Thex Daggers or bullcrap that's rare and priceless isn't needed. I think you already have some strong ideas on what to do here for next time.

Please let there be a next time, thanks for taking feedback.

Heard and appreciated!
