Events to me where a warm welcome to graal, from the very first hide and seek and trivia events to the current vast range of events hosted on classic today they have added variety and encouraged competition in the community. However I have noticed a not so recent change to how you can partake in these events is bogging this down and that is the system implemented to queue into the events.
When events where first released staff members would allow players to join them by finding a door hidden around the map using a given hint with only a certain number of players being allowed to join, this meant anyone could get into an event at some point if they just kept trying and kept playing the game to better understand these hints given.
Now lets look at the current system, a simple sign up that gives players a chance to get in. The issue with this is can easily be spotted, on a server with now over 3000+ players at a time your chances of ever getting into an event are very small and are more based upon sheer luck than learning the game and using practical skill gained while playing to get into these events.
The obvious answer to this dilemma is to return to the old system which is sadly slowly being phased out, which would you prefer in graal, the old system which encouraged participation and learning of areas around the game or the new system which is at its core sheer luck in a ever growing community of players.
