Wheres all the GM events been at.

[skootr]

Last GM "event" I encountered was a GM/guide popping up in front of my Oasis group, asking if anyone wanted to go to the tower of terror! I quickly said YES. So I was teleported to the top of one of the big stone pillars in Oasis and left to my own devices. I actually managed to jump down one of the sides and bounced off a few curves of the pillar and lived. GM informed me he was not expecting me to live, and gave me a stack of magic burritos! A different group mate was subjected to the same situation and died, no burritos for them!

Long story short, if a GM asks if you want to see the tower of terror, the answer is NO unless you want magic burritos.

The event Kagey mentioned was run by Derubael, Uthgaard was long gone.

I can't find the direct quote, but either Sirken or Deru have said on here/Reddit that Uthgaard is/was the only GM with the know-how and inclination to script "Super-cool" GM events that require more know-how than the current staff has.

Uth was part of the Dev Team, though, so my first comment is wrong.. and also probably why he knew how to do super-cool GM events.

I feel like this is something that could be done, and it would help some of the newer people to the server level up. Are Rumbles/Repops done? Only been 1 of those so far this year as well?

There are always just soo many things involved, maybe they coded hard for a long time and had to take a break. Maybe Velious is a priority? Maybe RL stuff came up and they are working on that? Maybe they hate how the raid scene is going right now, maybe they feel like people don't deserve stuff or are ungrateful.

I bet if everyone donated as much as they wanted something changed, or improved, or done for the community the staff would be more inclined to work harder. (If that's possible, I know they work really hard)

I know they want to do stuff, I have talked to Sirken in the past with a GM event idea and he LOVED it and it would have been really cool. It just takes time and coding, most of us have trouble finding time to play the game on a daily/weekly basis. I cannot imagine those guys schedules.

Last event I saw was in DL for thanksgiving I think. Hunted giant turkeys and everyone was posting links to their nice gear and claiming the turkeys were dropping it. They weren't.

Nah; they've done studies and it turns out that smart, professional people (which I'm sure includes the P99 team) aren't really motivated by money. I think the "don't pester them with wasteful petitions" idea is more likely to work ... although good luck on making that happen.
