When is the Next GM Event?

[MiRo2]

On live there were different kinds of "GM events". You had actual zone changes, such as the Halloween events that made changes to NPCs, loot tables and other things. You had scheduled events in which large scale events happened on every server, usually prior or directly after releasing new content. The last type were events that were run by Guides off scripts from the Guide website, that could be run with 1 person, or up to six.

The first type I assume requires a large amount of programming changes in the server, which would delay changes and fixes the staff are already working on. The second would probably require full participation from the server staff and would black out any customer service needs for the duration of the event.

The last type is feasible to do with one person, but are done a much smaller scale. All it required was that the event be requested through the Server GM, a character be created on the Guides' accounts, loaded with rewards that were to be either looted, or handed out, and given the appropriate buffs (HP/DMG Table/DS/Regen ect.). Once in the Guide could use a command to flag the character as an NPC, find some players, and then act out the script. The issue being that this is not live, and the data for the commands and buffs required to make a character act like an NPC may not exist, or be appropriately tuned. Also new scripts would have to be created and approved, as I doubt anyone has an archive of the Guide website correct to the server timeline.

Also maybe they could get a new gm/guide just for making the server fun and just do GM events/mazes scavenger hunts, etc maybe it could be an item like a guise manastone etc for something really challenging, I am a casual player I dont raid I like to level have fun and explore. so I think this could be done by the server gms here [You must be logged in to view images.

Fanbois can stop claiming they don't have the time, it's more burnout from current staff than anything.

Also Rogean has to approve literally everything that is done on p99 and either because he's busy or just burned out I've heard from aimpals/sources he just isn't around really anymore.

Gm events would be cool, but no doubt takes a lot of time to setup and handle. The last one with the teleport around and gather stuff up for halloween was catered specifically to porters. I was fairly slow and still managed to miss first place and the title by around 5 minutes(I stopped to med a few times just from constant OOM, with c2 wouldve been cake) only to get a Sarnak Earring of Station +5str no drop on my druid because they said they set the reward to common loot table or something accidentally.

Velious opening event, got a ceremonial iksar bp first turn in which was cool just because quick plat. But really I think what most people want from GM events is either a good time, some pvp, titles, guises, illusion potions(the gukta ones sirken gave out were always cool) etc. Plus the mistakes made early release, with rewards such as AoNs which tipped the balance and lead to some crazy stuff.
