Any Gms or guide that give any info on this?

Played here for over a year and I've never seen a GM event. I don't think they exist.

We had one on red last year at Halloween. Think blue had one too, but with lines and stuff.

Live had GMs who were employees of Verant/SOE that were specifically hired and paid to run events.

Here we have volunteers that have to spend all of their free time to the tune of 20-60 hours a week answering petitions, Skype conferences, and phone calls about botched MQs and which monk caused Tormax to turn around for 10 milliseconds after he or she got FTE.

They don't have the staff necessary. The closest we can get right now is player-run events with staff support.

GM events take a lot of time and effort to set up, with both GMs/Guides and developers contributing. It's all on a volunteer basis, too. Given the choice between GM events and fixing bugs, they're going to fix bugs.

To elaborate on what Sorn said. Dept of Fun is the closes thing to GM events you can get. They are few far and between because again we are volunteering our time and don't have the powers of a GM. So we are limited to the type of games/events we can do.

We have hosted many events this year and last. The latest event we did was Easter Egg Hunt in Gfay.

The Biggest event ever would probably be our Bum Fights in EC.

The Hardest part we have is getting the numbers to do anything. The forums don't really get as much attention as IN game and if you are not popular in game than you event falls to the way side.

If you have any sort of ideas or something you would like to try and set up our doors are wide open and we are will to try and make your event come to light.

You can drop a PM to me or Sorn if you have any questions.

Thanks for the reply's on this post everyone! sorry if this is not allowed just was curious

No it was a good question. I might add that the last GM event we had, the blue community raged at "how shitty" it was. With the way people acted, I would not be interested in hosting another one anytime soon.
