I've been active on both servers recently, and have noticed a complete lack of events on either. I think some friendly competition would be a nice addition to each server. It's tough to add this in a way that encourages established players to participate but also makes it worthwhile for newbies. My initial thought was to bring back some of the old events, but place a level 30 cap. If anyone else has other suggestions, I would love to hear them, otherwise here's what I'm thinking:
The events that I'd propose bringing back:
-- Champ's belt mosh
-- Triplex
-- 1alt PT
-- Drunken mosh (I think this one was always level 15, so I'd suggest sticking to that)
-- Was there ever a lvl 1 mosh? We used to have them randomly, but a weekly event for a cool amulet or something would be pretty sweet.
Here's the rationale:
-- Established players still gain an advantage in that they'll typically have better equipment than newbies
-- Early players have a way to be competitive earlier on in the game
-- The equip dropped by these events is typically good enough that established players would want to compete in the events.
Does anyone have thoughts on this? I'd prefer for this not to devolve into a "main vs 1a" discussion; if you want me to make separate topics for each server, let me know and I could to so. Let me know what you think.
