Special Events

What if we had special short term day/week long events? I think this would be great to get people that got tired of the game to come back for the events. Events could be things like:

- All eves spawn at 0,0

- Everyone is born with a knife in their hand

- A day where you don't die except by starving/murder/animal

What special event would you like to see?

I've brought it up before, and I'll bring it back again; Vampire Week.

Re: Special Events

Events are cool in theory. Remember how everyone had a mental break-down during the apocalypse? Yeah, thats how it would be with literally anything else. People whining and complaining about how the game has been ruined for them and how unfair everything is blah blahblah. Regardless, I would still be up for events and trying them out some if they were to come to pass as suggested.

We have been running events regularly on weekends for months on the mobile servers. It creates some variation that players seem to like. The thing with events is that they are temporary. When there are complaints, they center on the event experience and don't seem to have affected people's appreciation for the normal game. In fact, it seems to lower churn and make people hungry for the main game again.

It can be quite a lot of work to set up an event though and I don't think that Jason has the time for doing that on top of everything else. You should turn to mod servers instead for this kick. There are several people on the forum who experiment with mods, so why not band together a few people and make some events? Our events are essentially mod servers which run for one weekend only.

Re: Special Events

I like a lot more the idea of us players making community events. Every few weeks people could vote on some idea and the community tries to push it.

Re: Special Events

I keep forgetting  MOHOL exists... In that case sure, lets have events. I agree that this probably shouldn't be started and maintained by Jason though.

Re: Special Events

I don't really play on private servers because I prefer playing with random unknown people. I also like the variety we now have with hundreds of active players.

Some events could be really easy to implement like eve span point and immortality since simple settings already exist. Once a few events are setup it would be even easier as you can create new events based on a combination of different settings.
