What happened to the events? Derrick can we get them back?

[VoP Denizen]

if you are starved for non-farming or alternative pvp activity come to Paws and take up a quest on behalf of King Zoltan.

we've had a few people pick them up. if you do pick them up and complete them please make sure you contact us so you can claim your reward.

Player run events aren't illegal. If the players say there is a problem with the lack of events, perhaps the players should start running them.

Automated events focus the population, both in time and place, which leaves the rest of the day and playing area deserted.

I will be checking the player run events section for your events you will put on. Are you a player on this shard? It seems the context of your second sentence in the first paragraph implies you might not be a player.

I look forward to the possibility of attending your events.

I run events often everything from PVP to RP/PVP to standard Quests. We might not be automated but we do put ourselves into it.

Aye and I have been impressed with your role-playing since skills, when you first came into contact with K^A a long time ago. I will have to stop by your village and take part in a quest if I start playing regularly again.

They should open the auto events back up without rewards. I liked survival game but you can't do a event like that without GMs. Yeah fart knocker this is Dougie Fresh back on the server here trying to petition these events. I agree with a few people on not even having a reward for it. Braging rights can be the best reward. Yeah im back around for some fun. This is coming from a old player by the way.

This gets brought up in EVERY "can we have events back?" thread. The fact of the matter is automated events are always on time and are always more efficient than player run events - they can be relied upon.

Player run events on the other hand take a lot of effort for someone to put together and in most cases, the event itself is rather sloppy - doesn't start on time, takes a long time to run - and not accessible for half the world's timezones. Most the time there is a very low turnout or the event just gets cancelled.

There is a reason that a year and a half after auto events were cancelled (dont quote me on that timeframe), that there are barely any player run events.

^ what he said. player run events are pretty poor imo.

[[Uhh] Eo]

Bring back events, not rewards!

[Blaine the Gypsy]

I think the events were rewarding enough to do. I could give a crap about a prize.

The shard will not retain new players if there are automated events, but just the opposite. Automated events take the burden away from players to make the game interesting and fun to play by providing things for them. New players will stick around if there is a healthy player population that is actively playing the game at all times instead of at minor automated events.

If the goal is to make the shard a better place all around, it's much more beneficial to actively get involved with a guild, set-up routine events, social get togethers, and encourage new players to join in. Stop relying on the staff to provide more to a game that already provides an enormous amount of freedom and opportunity for the players to do anything they want.

Given what I said, I'm not entirely opposed to automated events, they have their place and function, but if the issue is to increase the shard population and the enjoyment of the playing experience in general, the more effective approach would be to get the current player base more involved and more organized to run their own events. I just think automated events with the current population is not effective or beneficial for promoting these goals.

Auto events FTW !

who needs rewards?!

i disagree. events happening 2-3x a week wont stop new players from sticking around. and when older accounts get wind of events again, people will start logging on more. sticking around after events, and playing the game more. this will encourage new players to stick around.. just have to limit the events to a good number to make everyone happy imo.

I am for bringing them back with NO rewards - or make trophies not worth anything. My whole issue with events was the no risk, high reward to them that the silver system introduced.

Events are fun and allow the staff to run events with low staff #'s, but giving away lots of valuable silver was what I was and still am against.

If they made the rewards a no value statue so you could commemorate your wins etc, I would be all for it as I think it would benefit the shard.

In addition, they would need to fix/patch the issue that were brought up by some players about how it could be exploited. A few fixes would make them totally acceptable.

[HoneyBadger]

So with all these people saying Yes to events can we get a response from Derrick or staff?!??!
