only a few though about the events;


First, Im not disappointed at all :) there is a few event pretty much every days or so, and I like it :) keep the good job. I just want to see if its possible to improve the fun!


-I dont really think the "10 more vote for an event" is a good idea on the long run since ppl may (well, I do now) to vote. It happened quite often that I voted and maybe 30min or couple hours  after you advertised such event. I kinda felt like "wasting" my vote (especially since sometimes we just never reach the amount needed for the event before you leave :P ) Maybe count the vote from the whole day (no idea how to do it really, maybe keep a count or something?) I do count the whole day, your vote is not wasted...Kind of sad that we only get 10 votes a day out of 300 players that log in...
and do 1 if there is XX vote in so ppl who voted earlyer count toward the event. But I totally get why you do that, and I love the idea :p

I try to do the "get 5 more votes and ill start an event" 3 times a day.  Voting is very important to stay on top and attract the new players.  I get up early for the Europeans, then the afternoon crowd and then around prime time.  I also have 2 invasions each day...hard to do more atm with all the new players and being short staffed the last 2 months.  We went from 60 avg players to around 120 this last month and just got very busy.  Also we have done several events where the players were rude to staff, dissatisfied with the gifts or just griefed the event which in turn makes the staff less likely to do an event.

-Champs.... champs champs and champs :) I dont dislike them, but most of the event we see are champs. What get on my nerves is that we can be 5-50 players. Champs are just easy to do with so many players online...try to organize any event w 50 players and you will understand 
I know you do multiple champs when there is quite a few player, but the problem is that not all boss spawn at the same time and when they do, there is so much corpse/npc/player that their names sometimes (often) doesnt even show up and BAM, firestrike and gold droping everywhere: thats how you know it spawned and got killd.
Maybe making a modified champ, where it spawn kinda like invasion (once all mobs are dead) and whit lot more HP so everyone has time to hit him, and increase the drop (depending on the amount of player (so there could be different "difficulty")) since 6 PS whit over 30 players is... well yea (and even if there is 3 champ, most of them will be obtained from the same player)


-Maybe do some special/different event. Easily thinking of the Boom room, bash, special boss spawn, ED event, Quizz, pvp, ect. dont need to have really special price! since Champs simply give PS so I dont see why go complicated :) but just more variant could be nice.
Players are welcome to help out and run weekly events.  Make a trivia night, fishing contest, hide n seek, chess tournament, texas hold'em etc...you plan the event, ill provide the prizes:)
I do run special events each week and post on the forum, we have Auction on the 21st, Werewolf event on the 28th and them Montezuma on the 1st...

I remember ages ago there used to be an event where a big emerald dragon (if i recall correctly) was spawned for everyone to kill... that was heaps fun  8)

Group champ events are cool ish.. but I think a lot of us do champs fairly often anyway so I guess the group champs are good for newer players...

Be nice to have some harder group events every so often like the dragon I mentioned  :)
