One day we will be recognized as the number one events crew and people will sign up. One day
People seem to enjoy player run events as long as they arent pvp related and we usually get good turnouts. I dont know why there is such a strong aversion but people just dont want to fight.

But why player run pvp events? I just want to know...are GM events out of the question? When was the last event?
The last GM event was near halloween but it was not pvp based, it was more of a treasure hunt. The DoF attempted to do a player run PvP event and another forumquester tried to do a PvP event, both in 2016. Zero people total signed up for them, even with a bunch of prior notice and a pretty reasonable rule set. People on p99 absolutely do not want to fight each other unless there is some chance of the GMs giving them a prize like a title or otherwise unobtainable item. My theory is that the community is small and people dont want to lose face by losing a fight, which is pretty stupid since you spend years building your character but it is what it is. Bumfights allows you to remain anonymous and use level 1 characters so that is a little different. I've only ever succeeded in talking 4 players total into fighting in 1v1 pvp/roleplaying events.
