They're trying to lay low because they know DBG is this close to pulling the plug. Just need a little more publicity for real narco trading and it's a done deal.

That just comes with doing events. You have to be good at managing shit that goes wrong. I accidentally encumbered a zone full of gfay noobs with several million copper on accident once while trying to give everyone 100pp.

Yeah they don't, and probably won't. You need access to run perl scripts in realtime to do a lot of that stuff, so besides all of the crazy shit you can do with it, you also have to have some development knowledge. IDK though, you can cause a lot of harm with enough motive and creativity with far less access. Refer to more recent history. Worst I did was make a Xzerion clone in EC that dropped an earring of sad exploitation, which no one could equip, and didn't even call him out by name.

Yeah, it's really all just about doing something crazy and spontaneous.

Or the zerglings. Lesson learned from that event: people don't know what they want. Asked for high hp mob, bitched about 25 minute fight. Someone should meme that.

Nilbog has said he wouldn't be opposed to me running some events in the future but who knows what kind of freedom they'd let me have to make it what it could be.

Hackanon was a fun event.

I wouldn't mind uth back maybe he can give TMO red members instant 60's this time instead of on blue.

Uthgaard 07-20-2015 09:53 PM

Doubtful, since character sales aren't allowed now, and that "instant 60" was a purchase out of my play character's personal funds. 2/10, troll smarter not harder

I'd say maybe nix oakywynd just for balance issues in pvp but if we really want to be classic we should give out some of these classic gm event items in old gym event style. The code for the items is here and they can granted by the staff, I think it would be great to see people winning one per server events like that. I don't remember what the ranger did to win that bp, do you remember?

I think it was a Halloween scavenger hunt in one of the Karanas.

Should do a GM event to see who can kill Nexona the fastest.

I miss the Uthgaard era and I wasn't even there for it. Sounds like you were the "Last of the Mohicans", or last real GM. No offense to other staff, we just miss being able to have full blown Epic GM events like on Classic 1999-2004 Era.

It looks like the powers that Uthgaard had made for some very fun events. And that Uthgaard really recreated that "Epic GM Event" feel on a few occasions. I read recently in another post that the GM staff since Derubael is basically "neutered" to CSR only.

The only way anyone would get a GM event is with Rogean or Nilbog personally executing it themselves, and they are busy with other roles irl and on this project...So I guess that means never unless we started applying gentle pressure on nilbog on the forums to allow Uthgaard to take another swing at it.
