My all time best event took place on OSI, the great Britain invasion, waves of foes came pushing everyone to the northern edge of Britain. The inbasion laster for days, we kept dying but it probably was the most fun i ever had.
Also, what about a UO amazing race, crafting event; basicaly have players on the hunger game island, butt naked and give them 10 use tinker tool and a list of items to craft from different trades, first to gather and complete the list wins.
I will think about other events that require minimal preparation and post them here

Those are good ideas but crafting events and the island for example are things that we already have. Try to think of things that you've seen in past such as uo invasion or something that you haven't seen in years. Of course keep in mind that any events thought of want them to be minimal/limited prep.

The idea behind hunger island was so no one could use mats from their inventory or already crafted items in their bank. Could be done anywhere.

  I think I would like to see a collection event.

  Event type: Collection of materials--- Leather, Ore, Lumber, & Stone

  Duration: 1 week


  During this event players simply collect resources to turn in at collection points found inside each city listed on the world gate. (Classic cities, Malas cities, Tokuno cities, and Red city)

  Rewards could be anything from new-- or old-- deco, to top items from the donation pages of the past, or present.

  Ideally the prizes should be on a list similar to that of the veteran reward list.  Once a player meets the requirements to obtain an item from the list... that item appears as a selectable on the list of choices.

  Some Pro's:  Cleans up the shard of previously collected materials, Events are FUN!, Equal playing field for all, New stuff is always a plus.

  Some Con's: Might not be easy to code, (shrugs)


  Obviously this is an event for the crafter's out there, but that doesn't mean non-crafters couldn't get the low hanging deco fruit on the list.  ;D

  FYI --- This event was inspired by OSI's Magic clean up circa 1999-2000. The idea was simple, speak a command phrase inside your house and you placed a special trash barrel into which you threw any magical item you had lying around. Every e magical item granted points, based on something quite similar to how the weapon leveling system works here, only in reverse. Amass so many points and gain access to a list of items with which to purchase from according to your hearts desire.


   --Sturger--


  P.S.  ED's and Magical items might be added to the above mention collection lists. I would however suggest a limit to how many ED's can be used per day (100) in that money should never be used to win an event. That being said, and in the interest of generating revenue for the shard I see no problem with ED collectors having a slight edge.

   ---Sturger---

 P.S.S. The one thing that bothers me the most, about some events, is seeing others do the events just to gain items they can sell to the masses at outlandish prices. Please keep this in mind when making items for an event like this. Low end decoration is fine to be passed around, because everyone should be capable of aquiring it. The stuff at the top should probably be account bound, or only transferable by a GM, and at an ED cost.  :o

I appreciate all ideas and I will consider them I sat down came up with quite a few so we are good to go. Also the grand prizes aren't bonded to account due to if someone wishes to sell their prize I feel that is their choice since they won what they do with their prize up to them.




Thanks,
