I didn't vote. Perhaps the poll should add "more events, less Trammel." Then I'd vote.

BTW, love the sig, Light Shade.

I do not believe in giving players valuables foe nothing. Either make players pay in to play (which then goes to winner of event) or run the opportunity to lose something. The current setup is the reason why people join events AFK to get silver in ctf. There has to be some risk associated with the reword in my opinion.

I voted yes because I love attending events. Doesn't matter if these events offer any kind of reward or whatever...I would attend regardless. Now, I love the era accuracy. I had the best time and couldn't get enough of uo back then and there weren't many events...if any...I don't recall. But I had fun because I had many close allies and guildmates who showed me alot and served as safety in numbers. But I don't think events would hurt the players' interaction with others. Some think it will but I think it might even help it. And some say automated quests will be trolled, but thats where the safety in numbers comes in and making allies and joining guilds. Leave that to the players. This will also thin out the pks camping the farming hotspots, giving them and farming up-and-comers more alternatives. The way I see it, it could benefit everyone. Except for maybe the staff whom it would create more work for. Which brings us back to what Corbin said. " It's their choice. It's their game." If they think events would help the server more than fixing current issues, they should work on them.

My reasons:
1. Automated events happening in a trammy zone and giving away free trammel silver with zero risk to participants is not only inaccurate, it is completely against T2A. If events require some sort of player investment and/or risk, I may be for them.

2. There are much more important issues that the staff should focus on without wasting time developing new event types.

Agree with this. I'm not against events completely, but the big group fun games like CTF should not have a reward for the winners. If the tourneys are going to give rewards they should cost something to enter or you should be able to loot your opponent if you kill them.

Arsen, I think the premise behind having staff events at off peak times is to encourage players to do their own thing during peak hours. Player events could get a lot of participation at 8pm eastern, but wouldn't really work at 5am eastern.

This is why I always liked an 'anything goes' approach to tourneys. You could bring your really good expensive stuff to have a better shot at winnign but when you died you'd get looted and lose it. Thus tourneys were not only about skill but what you wanted to risk and what you felt you needed to compete.
