Hello, Luciel :)
Thank you very much for your interest!
The weapon-exchange between Zorai and Fyros is a mostly political roleplaying-thingie. We had a number of political RP-Assemblies in the desert and the jungle, where the political representatives and also players from the audience talked about this exchange and its organization publicity. Records of these talks have been posted in various forums (though mostly German and French I fear; sorry for that).
Event-team-members were present who played politicial "officials", and the initial idea for the exchange of weapons between Zora and Pyr came from a relatively new English-speaking Event-Team-Member named Arduros who played Celiakos/Senator Lyan Cexus at the local Assembly of Pyr on August 22nd (2013).
The Fyros have organized their part of the deal really quickly; the Akenos from Thesos were involved greatly in this and I know that (Fyros-born Ranger) Daomei has provided 74 burning launchers for Zora all by herself :) The Fyros also managed to avoid being attacked by Marauders who had planned a raid on the convoy but failed to find and reach it in time, because of an "unusual route" that the convoy had taken (that's what I was told).
On the Zorai's side Awakened Astarth from Min-Cho had volunteered to gather the materials and to organize the Zorai-convoy enthusiastically. So we thought we Zorai would be ready to send our convoy just as quickly. Originally representatives from all three jungle-cities had agreed on and publicity proposed a way smaller amount of weapons by the way, but the Akenak suddenly changed that plan on their own, ignoring the data we had given them during the Assembly of Zora and through the forums. And on our side Astarth suddenly went silent for weeks, not informing anyone about his progress or needs.
I heard that the NPC guards did NOT get the weapons that have been crafted, the Event-Team just made it look like that, because the Fyros-guards they added to Zora carry/carried launchers. In fact we hope that the weapons that players crafted will somehow be given to players later on... Well, even finding them at the merchants for a cheap price would be nice I think, at least better than seeing them "vanish". :)
Players - Fyros-patriots namely - got some mats after the exchange Fyros-Trykers, called the "water-road". Akenak Bardor from Thesos was the one who distributed that I heard :) But it's true that lots of players and their characters who were not present at the actual event of the water-road never were informed of what had happened to the materials (sadly nobody cared to note it in the Arispotle-forums)...
Hm, as I see it, many players love "RP", but everyone enjoys different "kinds" of RP... Political Assemblies are appreciated by some, but not by many players for example. The same goes for story-events, player-events, meetings for RP-chats at taverns, guild-RP-stories, etc. Political Assemblies were originally formed for the purpose of initiating events for everyone and cause visible changes on Atys (at least for a while); but things didn't and don't go the way many players want them to. The Event-Team is not almighty, the program doesn't allow every kind of change, and unfortunately there are very few Event-Team-members even in charge...
Another truth is that non-RP-events like the Kitin-attacks were received the best by Ryzom-players up until now. Also the not-really-RP-gathering-events for the Kami-/Karavan-outposts and even for the rangers have been popular - and regarding this one the digging was favouritized before the arduous gathering of loot from animals (the Shalahs aren't done yet after many RL-months have gone). The Ranger-events have become less popular though when players found out that they were not granted any kind of Ranger-titles that they had been hoping for...
