True, though I don't see the issue with ET members getting into events. "Event" is sorta in the name, of course they're good at em.

It's mainly because they would always win the events, and players who rarely win events or don't even have an event hat don't have a chance to win (unless the event is Chance,) because ET is just that good.

I can add those to the list of players ignored, yes. I may also add like... Preference modes for staff to choose. Ie, newbie only, veterans only, girls only... Boys only and so on to allow them to further narrow down the list. It wouldn't be done all the time, but it would be something different I think.

Though I'm curious, why not allow players in towers? It isn't like sparring where you are currently obligated to finish a spar. Towering is a bit in and out... attend and leave as you choose, no?

Can we say "noobs only" for Chance, and "veterans only" for all the fun events? lol

I only said "no towers" because I wasnt sure if it was possible to warp to event in tower (you cant enter houses while in towers; wasnt sure if it was same or not). But if you can, its ok.

I'd assume that it's either that or no events then.

The reason that he would implement that is because the server is too laggy for spawning event warps, so it's essentially a replacement for now.

Man, that's so much bs. When I used to host events, I put warpers all over Graal and there was hardly any lag whatsoever. In fact, having the warpers made doing the events more exciting and fun.

Did you host with 3000+ players on?  

Sorry, I did forget to mention I did not host when there were 3000+ players. I did, however, host events with 2000+ players. I suppose, with 3000+ players it does make a difference. Even so, I did like the idea of having event warpers. It makes the players explore Graal and really appreciate how truly wonderful of a game it is.

Well it's not BS, despite whatever experiences you have had in the past. When there are a lot of players on, and a huge chunk of those players(1000 or so that respond to events) have an incentive to go to the same level... the server doesn't like it. It can't manage to communicate all the data of all the players in the same level to each other. Any player who has been on recently while an event warper was placed with that many players on will tell you exactly what happens to the server.

The warpers themselves do not cause lag, it's the players crowding to a single spot that does.

Then why not make several other warpers around the map in certain places like rufus did? He would say 1 warper lead to chance another to bush race etc.

Can you not insult the people that volunteer to give out hats to our sorry asses?

Well apparently there was some miss communication or just a brain fart from the admin. The lag at the time was quite annoying and unnecessary. And he should have known not to try and host an event by dropping a warper with 3k ppl on. It is done and over with lets move on.

That would be nice. I also remember times when they would drop multiple warpers and I do believe only 1 would lead to the event where as the others where basically duds and just warp you back to Graal city or something like that. I think that could have been done a lot more often and would have spread the players out. I also remember them doing something like your describing where they dropped like 4-5 warpers/events at once and you could choose to try and get in which ever one in which ever area. Imho dropping multiple fake warpers would be better than running multiple events at once.  

Cri, ill guess ill never get 100 event hats. I am at 90 ;(

And what happened to ice race and survival? Probably the funnest events and yet they are removed

Why dont you just make mini NPC events like era and zone? A message would pop up and you could join(50 players max could join). The events could be ice race, bush race, dodge, hidden paths, chance, and other race type events. And every 5-10 minutes a new NPC event would happen. And to join you would pay 100 or 50 gralats. Then the winner could have 2500, 5000 gralats this could be like the new lottery ~

● The admin corrected himself because he wasn't notified of the new event system as of yet
● I liked that idea too except it still sort of lagged since players went in all at once trying to figure out the right portal.. and besides people only gathered in one spot also because of the pkers standing in front of the damn door.  

I'd like to see automated event hosting, much like on iEra. It seems outdated to use classic style manual event hosting on a server with 3k+ players online.  

aw this thread makes me miss ET and how I would never win and question myself to why I was even recruited. lol
but the new system is fair now, so yeah.  

dusty made a new event today iwanna know what is it o.o

After I do a few more test runs I will add it to the list for staff to host.
