Suggestion: Off-hours events

Post by Dagon »

Every player-run and staff-run event is generally in the "prime" hours of 8-9PM-ish EST when the normal 9-5 workers and school kiddies are home wasting their time online.. but that leaves out the rest of the crowd who either work nights or are in a severely different time zone where different starting hours may be better for them to participate.

I propose the suggestion that every so often staff created/run events START at 4-5AM EST and run until server down, or something along those lines (player run events would also be cool). I don't know how often rewards (trophies, etc) are given out for events but that wouldn't even be necessary (unless Derrick/staff wanted to give them anyhow) just the event itself to break up the monotonous early morning (depending on time zone) play times and things-to-do would be worthwhile.

I personally don't know if these events are or can be scripted for automatic run or if a GM is online at the time doing everything manually, so surely that's something to consider which may make this suggestion null and void but I happen to know Braden is online late!!! :)
