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

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.

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

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.

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.

Next event should be to make he blue server into a red server for 12 hours. You know like that movie with no laws for 12 hours a year
