(This is great! But please don't start again doing events that only take place in Yrkanis/Forest. In the past almost all events always take place in the Forest/Yrkanis and I find it terribly unfair. The new year has not even started and it already feels like we are back to doing the same things again. Bring the Zorai, Fyros, and Tryker lore to life as well. There should be RP in all the lands.)
I don't often get to take part in events, mainly because they start around 8PM and (by choice) I don't play till 10pm. However, I do follow what's going on and don't agree with you Trixie that the events are all Matis focused. Just take a look at the event announcements for the last year (first 2 pages of the events forum) and you will see only 2 prefixed with [matis]. Think back to some of the events around the time of the swarming - the exodus, as a prime example, started from Pyr not Yrk, went through the desert not forest. There were Kitin events in all 4 nations post swarm. There are the events Xatokar list in all four lands.
The events generally take place where they make sense, or need, to take place. For example, if you need a PvP area outside of PR, isn't the Matis Arena your only choice*? If you want a goo related event then the jungle is obvious. The Exodus needed a stronghold to escape to - the desert has the Kami Oasis. Sometimes the content dictates the location.
* I may be wrong but that's because I'm no expert in Pvp (is Nexus PvP?)

You can't "complete" the mainland. If one thinks one has seen or done everything there, one is kidding oneself. But be prepared to "get out what you put in," because the mainland does not coddle or hold hands.

Other games - they give you a cookie whether you succeed or not, in fact you don't even have to participate. Ryzom takes your cookie, eats it in front of you, and slaps you 2 or 3 times for bringing a cookie in the first place.
