What was your favorite GM event from Live back in Classic or trilogy, and why? What made it cool to you?

Halloween events! especially the one in the rathe mts. This big undead dragon pretty much decimated everyone at the zone in non stop. The zone was always night time, with gargoyles running a muck. The commonlands were filled with werewolfs. EK had spectres. It was a blast! and all the upgrades that were floating around. Folks would announce rots in ooc. It was a kewl day to be had!

GM's made a monster in loio and was spamming shout with challenges. ended up with like 300 people wailing on it for about 30 minutes. every minute or do it was kill someone at random.

The Lfay event where Tunare and Cazic Thule went toe to toe...

But some of the Halloween events were amazing. I remember zoning into West Wastes on my wizard and hearing my name shouted by an NPC in the zone. I was the only one in the zone so I started looking around for the NPC. Was a dragon with the sleeper model on it. The dragon had me run around and find a bunch of crap in the zone and then gave me a reward of 30p. I figured the GM must have been uber bored that day LOL.

There was a huge war in Firona Vie once, where NPCs were killing other NPCs and people could loot them, also people could fight on 1 side or the another. I got a pair of gloves, but I wend LD because at the time my computer couldn't handle it.

Letting loose rogue dragons in random zones is pretty cool, I remember they had a dragon in Frontier Mountains once that people had to kill, 35+ and a lot of rewards went to the 30s and 40s who helped kill it, not just the 50+ people.

The werewolves taking over the West Commons / Karanas I believe was another fun event.

1) During pre kunark they had huge skeletons in qeynos hills was my first GM event so i always remember it.
2) During kunark on Tz there was huge wars between lights and darks in ec and nro, the next day the was a war in oasis and GMs made 4 skeleton model mobs and ran around killin everyone from lvl 10 to 60. After about 2 hours of killing everyone the lights and darks got together and killed all 4 gms. The second they die the war resumed.

luclin days, they did an event in paludal caves where the phlarg king and his minions (all controlled by gm's) starting killing everyone at the bandit camp near shadowhaven.

i was playing a level 14 rogue at the time and there was one called a phlarg rogue which did backstab (was a yellow con to me). so i started dualing with him. most of the other players were all after the king so it was basically 1 on 1. well i would have killed him about 4 times but everytime i got close he either did a full heal, or punted me 200 meters away so i couldn't get the death blow. he was terrabad at backstab jousting hehe.

anyways eventually the king was killed and someone showed up and thanked us all for saving shadowhaven, and gave us all cake and beer

I never had a good experience with a GM event. The head GM on Mith Marr at the time was a prick to most people. If his event didn't go exactly as scripted, he took it out on the players in zone. During a Mistmoore event, he killed everyone by using... what's it called... the spell effect that throws you up in the air. Technically, the spell didn't kill you. The fall did... exp death, no rez and no attempt to fix it. Most of the people in the zone, myself included, were just there to watch the event (it was a roleplay script providing lore on part of the game). Had a couple of hecklers which disrupted him so he just whacked everyone.

Had a GM event in Permafrost where some goblins challengers were looking for a "worthy opponent". I must have died 6 or 7 times. I came back to fight them over and over when everyone else was screaming they couldnt be beaten and to ignore them. I mentioned it in my guild to see if we could raise a force to take them out. Another paladin (female high elf) came in, walked up and cowed to them (in emote). She gave them muffins. They gave her a Mithril Two Handed Sword and depopped. She was two levels below me at that time but I watched her level past me by 10 levels within a couple weeks. Then she quit the game.

Another GM event had a GM come in and port every "good" character in the zone to the cat room to leave us there for the duration of the event.

Yeah, the GMs on my server could have used some common sense when it came to running live events.

I had way more fun with the scripted events in Velious than I ever did with a live GM event.

Love how he's standing on some wood elf.
"NAUGHTY!"

Played on euro times on US server, missed nearly everything. I recall sometimes special mobs in zones, but back then I didn't usually bother. =<

Recall the Grobb-reclaiming-war as the only one I actually attended. Trained the frogs and their leaders to the ogres, got some bonus exp potions as loot and some not-my-class -gear that rotted. Then some other douches decided that if they nuked the nameds they get the exp and loot, so it became a KS contest. Aaaand then I guess the GMs made the frogs run at selos speed because they started catching me.
