I agree with MrSimons to an extant, but I also understand the limitations of the server brought up by Dusty. I think, though, a compromise should be looked into. Because I agree that that the playerbase is just too big nowadays. And not enough people get a chance to get into events, even if the queue system gives everyone a fair chance.
As I mentioned in another thread, I would like to see more non-queue admin events. Hide n' seek, buried treasure, trivia, etc. At least with these events, everyone can be included.
