This is my take on events.
I've been playing Graal Classic on and off since 2009. I have never really cared all that much about events but it's clear that others do. Over the years I have seen events change and evolve, mostly for the worse but all the changes have been justified. Something that seems very apparent though is that there aren't enough staff members, or there aren't enough members that aren't from the US. Seeing as though the majority of players are from the US, it would make sense to have a lot of US staff but even at 3am (US time), there are still 2,000 players on. Those players, I would imagine, are mostly from other countries.
Between approving uploads, actually policing and hosting events, there just doesn't seem to be enough staff. Now I am in no way saying that the staff isn't doing their jobs or that they are being lazy etc, I'm saying there should be more staff to support the growing population of Graal. It would also take some of the work load off of the staff as a whole.
Back to events. Having some sort of bot or event house is a great idea, or even a schedule for when events are to be held so players know what's going on. Also, the queue system may be the best option in terms of who gets to participate in events, but I personally have yet to take part in an event in over 3 months, and I have entered the queue for most likely the majority of events. I don't really care about being in an event really, just the fact that I have yet to be chosen is odd though. It's funny that as I wrote this, an event was held...
