I mean a ton were already given out, what's another 50 masks going to matter? Tons of players came over after classic. Another idea is VP weapons, those weapons are rotting with most guilds and wont be viable weapons come velious, like i said most players don't wanna do events without a chance of some type of award.

yea lets give bis weapons to everybody.

might as well give rile crowns to everybody.

GOD U FUCKING SUCK SEKTOR

Unless this is given to naked people competing, or find a balanced way to do it so most people have a shot, it matters because its basically a pixel shower for people who already have an edge.

Halloween event of 2001 was cool because it was so chaotic, guilds competed for loot but at the same time naked newbs could score some loot too. There was something for everybody.

So I'm looking to see what the Red community thinks is fun in terms of events. I know it's something you've been sore for.

Thank you Chroma for asking and showing someone is paying attention to Red server. Question about summoning I know someone else mentioned The Hole and you said you weren't sure you would be able to summon there. If you are able to then

1) Low level like somewhere below 20s(level 1 or maybe level 5) Rumble in PoSky/ You summon people up there and if the mechanic works the way it normally would it strips buffs. If that works it saves you one worry about participants cheating by getting highlevel buffs starting.

2) Teams fights in PoSky

3) lowbie scavenging hunt

4) 1v1, teamvteam, 1vmany

5) rope in a GM who can summon mob or turn into mob to help you and do an event that is flagged for lowbie only. So like have the mob flagged within 4 levels like a player and allow pvp while trying to kill mob.

6)tiered fights and have each round in a different place like later rounds in OT on one of the plateau above HS entrance or something. Maybe an underwater fight like in KK so its not like 1 class fits all.

One last thing do this for fun and the fact that you guys haven't forgotten the server like people tend to assume. No need for loot reward just do it because its something different. The people who want will participate and the people who don't wont or will just grief the people who want to. Either way your not going to win whether you give out loot or not someone is going to find fault in whatever you do. So try to enjoy it when you do it and appreciate those who appreciate you and accept those who don't and just ignore them.

Any intervention that a GM does that breaks the sandbox is bad.

If the server doesnt have the resources to pull off sandboxy events like the 2001 halloween event id say just dont bother and spend your time banning people from the forums that make Jeffrey Dahmer-like posts, and link those bans to in-game after a while. I know that doesnt sound like much fun for you but that will help the server population more than any BotB style event you can conjure.

BotB style events are just rewards for the people who made it their mission to turn this server into a shithole.

People sperging up forums is my lowest priority. I look around, and blap it when I see it, but I serve the most players by taking action in game. Also, I don't care about the population number of the server. To be candid, I hate the idea of FFA pvp altogether. I don't have some grand vision for what I want the server to become, a haven of honour duels and chivalry. The server has rules, I enforce them. The server has people, I try to help them.

guide chroma, have you considered sim repop events? the winner's get whatever loot drops off the mobs.

That's well above my paygrade. I'm not going to take any part in "balancing" the loot by doing events. That's up to you all.

Sadly, I know for a fact that you cannot summon a lowbie to Sky. I might pick on some lowbie when I'm doing petitions tonight and see if I can bring them somewhere scary.

On the topic of lowbies, I'm sort of trying to work out how to make events fair with a level gap (not to mention twink gear gaps). The first is probably just going to be a FFA battle royale, to test the waters. People are going to be pretty preoccupied with Velious anyways, and depending on how big of shitlords people are going to be I might have upwards of double the petitions waiting for me anyways.

capture the dark elf mask seems to be the consensus

[easy_lee]

Level gap balance is something I've talked about before. Ideally, the math should ignore level and give everyone an equal chance of hitting / resisting each other. But that's a mechanics change, not something a guide could do.

Some thoughts:

• Make everyone in the same bracket be the exact same level. Players may have to delevel or gain levels to compete.
• Delevel players before the event and pump them back up afterwards (more work for you, unsure if you can do this).
• Don't worry about it. If players don't level up / delevel ahead of time then they can deal with it.

hand out VP keys as reward

[Buhbuh]

an event for lower levels would inevitably bring the fungi epic twinks out, too.

an interesting event was that one where they were throwing out server wide riddles and people had to guess which zone something was in

it's gonna be kind of hard to make an event that doesn't just inherently favor Empire. they have the most players, the best geared players (and even better geared alts than 95% of TMO), better organization, etc.

the only reason the riddle one worked in the little guy's favor over Nihilum during that time is because you had to pick the right zones, where they had to pick the wrong ones. otherwise their force would've pushed us out. Empire can easily bully TMO out of zones to take whatever mob/ encounter you have in mind for events.

the only real way to solve that problem is having 2 + teams with people from all different guilds intermixed and working together on some encounter.
