GM Events

I never gave a shit on live and I dont on p99 either.

I guess I am a loser casual from back in the day. I liked the simple, "non-thinking" events where they spawned unusual/weird mobs to kill and there was a minute chance of them dropping something really special. It's not so much getting something for nothing, it's just fun to get something neat and unusual as a surprise. It's like killing a named mob that drops a really rare item, when it finally drops the feeling is great. Also, it was fun when all levels could participate and get equally useful nice items.

I never remember events being twice a month on Live. Maybe 3-4 times a year... maybe.

But I'm not so sure we deserve it.

we have GM Events on red all the time, when shit gets so out of control GMs have to be called in to break shit up

Try red

We have talked about this before about why there was no GM events and it's simple. If there was a GM event then the reward would have to be something to the point of being close to "epic" just to make people happy.

Otherwise, players would bitch, complain and say it was a waste of their time and they could have farmed a better item.

I remember the last GM event and I think the code got screwed up and it gave out random items for rewards and it was as players would put it, "vendor junk" and bitched and complained and sold the items...

Scripting a custom GM event requires 1) coding knowledge, 2) a high level of access.

I am sure the level of access is above what normal Guide would have.

Therefore, Sirken is most likely the only remaining staff member with access required to script a custom GM event other than Rogean/Nilbog.

I don't know why people think everything has to be custom scripted. So what if a few people bitch? It would keep those bitchs from attending future events therefore allowing more deserving ettendees to get the drops. For that matter just set off some fireworks in WC and hand out ale

I heard they are bringing in some top secret game coders who are going to assist the already extraordinarily talented staff to do something mega-special this Halloween on P99. Get ready for some real magic in Norrath, folks. You don't want to miss it!

actually since Uthgaard, only Rogean and Nilbog have the access / tools to create events the way that Uthgaard use to run them. We are working on a Halloween event that we are hoping to see mix together a bunch of elements from previous events. With a little bit of everything we are hoping to please as many people as possible, however we're well aware that it's impossible to please every body.

Fun fact, there's a world event running right now and has been for months (ie: Karana Plague)

also, we'd love to run more events, the problem is that right now most of our free minutes are going towards fixing things, adding things, handling petitions, and much needed rest. but it is our hope and plan to bring you guys more events in the future.
