BEST of the BEST tournaments!

[Swyftfingers]

Let's bring it back...What say ye GM's? One thing I always loved were the BOTB tournaments. In the spirit of classic EQ, it would be really cool to see some of the GM events. Even if the reward is a title, or something...I'm sure someone could scrounge up the old GM event reward items.

Double XP is great, don't get me wrong...but nothing like a big duel in the arena! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So they're done doing BotB tournies? -_-

There have been several attempts in the last year at player run pvp events and so far I have seen exactly zero people sign up for them

One day we will be recognized as the number one events crew and people will sign up. One day

But why player run pvp events? I just want to know...are GM events out of the question? When was the last event?

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.

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.
