Some Suggestions To Coders

award points for participating?

[Virisin]

Nah, if we keep award points they should be for RPing stuff.

isnt global event RP related?

[Virisin]

Global RP events are, just normal global quests that come a couple times a day arn't really RP events.

Basically the invasions are just hack'n'slash quests, where a lot of relatively easy mobs and a few 'boss mobs' load in a limited time and place.

But of course even that could be turned into a RP quest, if someone actually bothered to initiate the roleplay, when calling to arms and handing out defence tasks for everyone.
And of course if they did, they could always post a log of the action on the RP boards, and get awarded for it.

It's all up to the players, the mud becomes what they make it to.

There already is the Goblin castle, which was used for invasions years ago, and the witches with the moles that load at Valpurgis night.
Some Indians, for oldwest, Aliens for Future, and Pirates for Prehistoric would be easy to make.

I started making aliens for a future rp event - check out zone 144 - as that was one of the suggestions I'd gotten when I asked for ideas on events that could be held to make the evenings a bit more fun and not idleville.  Indians attacking Dodge was another idea as was a skinning contest.

As for the players not lifting a finger - maybe we need a script/code that would dump all players currently in Recall into the middle of things - without the ability to recall back to squat it out.

Let's get some of these events going why don't we.
