Ok, bascially I want to start some player made pvp events and I want to check how many people would be interested in this - it will be a weekly/bi-weekly thing (more often if everyone wants heh), and I will gladly go through the hassle and work of getting everything together IF there are enough people who will attend (around 6 or more should be enough). Also by doing this we can give the staffers a bit of a break and maybe even join us :P
How it will work:
I will be making a 4 story 36x18 house with many obstacles and "secret" passages etc. Each team will start at opposite ends. Here and there around the place there will be "power-ups" which could be in the form of e.g. an item with 1 or 2 sockets, more regs, more bands, an extra tamable etc. We can also have things like CTF and domination to add a little bit of spice to the event (Im also hoping guilds will have guildwars here). I will also supply a reward for the winning team (probably not so different from the actual event prizes).
There will be rules such as:
-No sockets other than the ones you can find INSIDE the event house.
-No druid spells
-You will only use the bandages and regs that are supplied (or the ones you find inside the house).
-You may bring your own equipment as long as it has no augments inside them.
-Only one pet per team, nothing higher than a white wyrm. Once it is dead it may not be revived.
-No evasion allowed
-Once you have entered the event, you may not leave until it is over. If you do your team will be forfeit.
-No mounts
How to Win:
1. Kill all the opposing team members.
2. Capture their flag (If we are playing CTF)
3. After around 30-40 mins, if there is a clear winner (say its like 5v1 and the 1 guy is just running around, thats a win for the team with 5 people)
4. If there isn't a clear winner, we will declare a draw.
Myself not being a staffer, I will have to trust the participants in that they will not have secret sockets/carry extra bands/extra regs etc.
Also, the great thing about having this player made is that, we - the players, can decide if something is OP or if some other rules need to be made to balance gameplay. Also, I will be changing around the obstacles and secrets every now and again just to make so people dont start remembering them and start going for those areas all the time heh (if this thing happens at all).
Guildwars:
I see many guilds around Sylvan, but from what I've seen they have near no interaction at all with other guilds. SO what I will try and do is create a points system - e.g. 1 WIN = 5 pts, 1 DRAW = 3 pts, 1 LOSS = 1 pt. At the end of 2-3 months, I will donate around 1 mil or so to the guild with the most points :P Maybe this can work as an incentive to have some guild competition going around here - cause right now we're just sitting in our houses or out farming dungeons - hopefully this will change (unless you guys don't want it to and actually LIKE farming millions of gold by yourself. If this is true I won't make any more events from now on and shut up and go cry in my corner :'().
So, please put some feedback as to whether or not any of you want this - if not and you have a better idea, please post it and maybe we can make your idea work instead.
