It was a cool event and fun to travel around and see different parts of the EQ world. The "tricks" were interesting as well. I enjoyed the group I was with and chatting with them while we worked through the event.
As many others have said, for something that takes 2-5 hours depending on group makeup should yield better rewards.
I was using a level 60 porter and also have multiple level 50's and lots of experience with the game. I could have finished the event by myself on the porter in a matter of a few hours or so, but I was helping a group full of lower level characters as they had no other way to complete it. I enjoyed helping them, but there were many deaths in the process and some of them were not as familiar with the zones as me and got lost. I don't mind this, but...
the abruptness of shutting the event down without warning was very disheartening and made the many people that were still working on it feel like it was a waste rather than something where they met a goal. Even if the reward ended up being substandard, there would have been at least the sense of accomplishment for completing the event, instead of having it yanked away at a random time.
That's my input anyway. I do appreciate the work and effort you guys put into the server and this is just constructive criticism
