Hi
I'm pleased for the community generally, that there is a special event taking place. That it will give players the opportunity to do something different from a typical gaming session in the world of EQ.
Recognise, that a significant portion of the playerbase is in the American timezone band.
However, this event has done two things.
1 - server downtime to prepare, prime time playing for europe.
2 - event taking place well after midnight in europe, when most will be sleeping ( school or work next day.. )
... so europe timezone players lose out on regular gaming for an evening and unable to take part in the event.
On the flip side though from the community view.
I noticed several guilds did their own events over the weekend. Dial-A-Port being one, that were giving items to low level characters in various starting zones. Along with quadrupling the normal player count in Crushbone for a while too.
All in all. You can't please everybody. I just hope those that are around, do take advantage of the hardwork that's gone in to make the project 99 event worthwhile. That europe (and other timezones) have suffered a downtime to make it available for you in your prime time play slots.
I think there is another screen I can look at now, think it's called.. television.
Enjoy Halloween all, wherever you are and the festivities it brings.
See you in game in November.
