Scripting a custom GM event requires 1) coding knowledge, 2) a high level of access.

I am sure the level of access is above what normal Guide would have.

Therefore, Sirken is most likely the only remaining staff member with access required to script a custom GM event other than Rogean/Nilbog.

actually since Uthgaard, only Rogean and Nilbog have the access / tools to create events the way that Uthgaard use to run them. We are working on a Halloween event that we are hoping to see mix together a bunch of elements from previous events. With a little bit of everything we are hoping to please as many people as possible, however we're well aware that it's impossible to please every body.

Fun fact, there's a world event running right now and has been for months (ie: Karana Plague)

also, we'd love to run more events, the problem is that right now most of our free minutes are going towards fixing things, adding things, handling petitions, and much needed rest. but it is our hope and plan to bring you guys more events in the future.

Love it. Wondering if the Karanas plague will build towards the Halloween event???

Then add a few more guides to help run through the petition caseloads

. But using the logic of "a GM that said people complain about there not being any GM events, you work hard to make and host one, then everyone rips on how stupid it was" shouldnt prevent them from trying.

you'd think it would make the person more motivated to do better events

There we're 4 different kinds of "GM Events" on live. I'm not sure all are possible or feasible on this server due to workload required or missing framework.

Patched In
-These we're patched in during particular times
--Example: Yearly Halloween events in rathe/sk, etc

Large Scale
-Heavily scripted events with GM/Guide roleplayers that took place once during the history of the game
--Example: War in Kithicor, Kunark Opening, etc

GM/Guide Run
-Would usually start with a world emote for the event and be run by the GM(Item reward, generally WR Bags) or Guide (Crowd sourced reward, usually admission fee)
--example: Arena Royal Rumble, level 1 races, etc

Minor Scripted
-Guides would request to do a minor event on the server guide boards. Once approved by a Server GM, characters would be placed on Guide accounts, with reward items and special buffs that added HP/ATK DMG/REGEN equivalent to the level required. They would log in and use a command to change appearance and flag themselves as an NPC and proceed via the script.
--Example: Hill giant revenge, Roleplay events, etc
