So in summarization: It was fun, a bit steep for most people I think, the arbitrary rule constricting the area ruined the fun for me, probably would not go again..

What would everyone think about different entry fees for different tiers of participants. Such as:
Tier 1
-250pp
-Allowed full participation in event
-If among winners gets name announced
-Not eligible for money purse
Tier 2
-500pp
-Allowed full participation in event
-If among winners gets name announced
-Eligible for half of the appropriate money purse
--Other half will be awarded to the next tier 3 participant
Tier 3
-1000pp
-Allowed full participation in event
-If among winners gets name announced
-Eligible for full money purse

As for the restricting it to the center, if I don't at some point, we will just have someone running around in circles for quite awhile just prolonging their death. Hiding can be an effect strategy but running forever, or hiding on top of a pillar take away from the intent of the event. What if we set a time limit, so 30 minutes after the start, if the event is still going, it is restricted to the center? That way you have plenty of time to avoid dieing in the first blitz, but are still motivated to take out your opponents in a timely manner.

Keep doing GM events of any sort even if it's "Find the Special Bixie". They add spice even if it's a mix of negative and positive spice.

I would like to do events such as the Halfling High Dive, or Drunken Kelethin Races; however, in order for me to award a prize for something like that I would need a prize for the winner, such as a weight reduction bag, or potions. That would be entirely up to the senior staff if they were willing to provide them for such events.

Had we had more time for planning to be free, I think more people would have participated ;-)

How much time would most people need? My schedule is fairly erratic so I wouldn't really be able to plan something a week in advance, but a few days I could. I would also like to keep it the way it was on live, random and with little notice. It help to keep the population from getting to uncontrollable amounts, and gives some of the more casual players a chance to not get slaughtered by 30 planar geared players. I agree though that 10 people is not really enough for this sort of event.

My only complaint :
When we were all huddled to the platform, players who had already lost the match were allowed on the platform with the remaining combatants. Which resulted in a couple monks attacking my pet and drawing agro on it while I was attempting to down Minikin.

I think getting to watch is large part of these events as well. The problem comes with interference from these spectators. What if I were to allowed spectators but only on a level 1 character of the smaller races. This way their ability to interfere would be limited. Of course with this, intentionally killing the spectators would be grounds to be disqualified.

As for the time itself, was 8PM EST on a Saturday a good time to host this? I know we have a large population of people spread out throughout the world, what would be a better time to do this at?
