GM events take a lot of time and effort to set up, with both GMs/Guides and developers contributing. It's all on a volunteer basis, too. Given the choice between GM events and fixing bugs, they're going to fix bugs.
To elaborate on what Sorn said. Dept of Fun is the closes thing to GM events you can get. They are few far and between because again we are volunteering our time and don't have the powers of a GM. So we are limited to the type of games/events we can do.

We have hosted many events this year and last. The latest event we did was Easter Egg Hunt in Gfay.

The Biggest event ever would probably be our Bum Fights in EC.

The Hardest part we have is getting the numbers to do anything. The forums don't really get as much attention as IN game and if you are not popular in game than you event falls to the way side.

If you have any sort of ideas or something you would like to try and set up our doors are wide open and we are will to try and make your event come to light.

You can drop a PM to me or Sorn if you have any questions.

Also maybe they could get a new gm/guide just for making the server fun and just do GM events/mazes scavenger hunts, etc maybe it could be an item like a guise manastone etc for something really challenging, I am a casual player I dont raid I like to level have fun and explore. so I think this could be done by the server gms here [You must be logged in to view images.

Fanbois can stop claiming they don't have the time, it's more burnout from current staff than anything.

Also Rogean has to approve literally everything that is done on p99 and either because he's busy or just burned out I've heard from aimpals/sources he just isn't around really anymore.

Gm events would be cool, but no doubt takes a lot of time to setup and handle. The last one with the teleport around and gather stuff up for halloween was catered specifically to porters. I was fairly slow and still managed to miss first place and the title by around 5 minutes(I stopped to med a few times just from constant OOM, with c2 wouldve been cake) only to get a Sarnak Earring of Station +5str no drop on my druid because they said they set the reward to common loot table or something accidentally.

Velious opening event, got a ceremonial iksar bp first turn in which was cool just because quick plat. But really I think what most people want from GM events is either a good time, some pvp, titles, guises, illusion potions(the gukta ones sirken gave out were always cool) etc. Plus the mistakes made early release, with rewards such as AoNs which tipped the balance and lead to some crazy stuff.
