Event Horizon

I started to write this in response to what rokaraged said in this thread when asked the value of something. I thought it was a little too off the OP's topic though so I made a new thread.

I agree and I actually really hope they don't plan on doing these events like this once the game goes public; or at least not to such a degree. I always assumed it was just a beta thing. They're fun and all but I would rather have a functioning economy in the long run.

Any of you GM groupies know what they're planning for events in OB and beyond?

I wouldn't want them to completely do away with all the events because they can be fun to participate in. I do think, though, that the rewards will need to be seriously reduced because they're basically flooding the world with free money outta nowhere which completely destabilizes the economy.

im good friends with iceman and he said that they were gonna do a lot of events

i think i heard they were gonna do events with small lvl ranges so theres not as much crowd

OMG someone agreed with me and thought i said something INTELLIGENT!!!
In your Face EVERYONE in Oblivion.

Anyway theirs OBVIOUSLY going to wipe closed beta. Open beta will have events but i doubt they won't occur daily like before. The rewards also will also most likely NOT BE mass treasure box spamming. They'll be alot more careful.

There also will NEVER BE AGAIN a 5x rate event with Treasurebox rain

Yeah, I'm sure there's a wipe from cb to ob and that'll fix everything. I was curious if they were planning to drop the events altogether or not and if they're still doing them what sort of rewards will they be offering?

People would still probably participate in events even with no real valuable reward. Maybe they could give mass temporary buffs to the participants or something like that instead, so they still get something out of participating beyond simply the fun of doing it. I guess we'll see how it all pans out.

C'mon are events made for fun?

Or just to give out 500 silvers?

Well it isn't fun when a lvl 1 get's something it took you days to get D:

If that's sarcasm lol
