I never had a good experience with a GM event. The head GM on Mith Marr at the time was a prick to most people. If his event didn't go exactly as scripted, he took it out on the players in zone. During a Mistmoore event, he killed everyone by using... what's it called... the spell effect that throws you up in the air. Technically, the spell didn't kill you. The fall did... exp death, no rez and no attempt to fix it. Most of the people in the zone, myself included, were just there to watch the event (it was a roleplay script providing lore on part of the game). Had a couple of hecklers which disrupted him so he just whacked everyone.

Had a GM event in Permafrost where some goblins challengers were looking for a "worthy opponent". I must have died 6 or 7 times. I came back to fight them over and over when everyone else was screaming they couldnt be beaten and to ignore them. I mentioned it in my guild to see if we could raise a force to take them out. Another paladin (female high elf) came in, walked up and cowed to them (in emote). She gave them muffins. They gave her a Mithril Two Handed Sword and depopped. She was two levels below me at that time but I watched her level past me by 10 levels within a couple weeks. Then she quit the game.

Another GM event had a GM come in and port every "good" character in the zone to the cat room to leave us there for the duration of the event.

Yeah, the GMs on my server could have used some common sense when it came to running live events.

I had way more fun with the scripted events in Velious than I ever did with a live GM event.
