I was at one of the events with the Tryker well and last before that was the introduction of the Fyros defense tower, not because I’m Fyros or I like their events more, but because I had time and the right mood at these days. (That I often can’t join at the given times, evenings, weekends, is absolutely my problem, not yours.)
But there is one of my first problems, it was not really me (matis) who joined the event but I send my little sister (fyros). I would highly wish that no-one is excluded as a listener from any event just because of their race, this is especially frustrating for new players, they see an event in the calendar go there to watch and are send away for „role-play“ reasons, why can’t they just stay if they are silent listeners just out of curiosity?
The last really amazing event I attended was the last Black Marked (Schwarzmarkt). *smiles at Chanchey*
And the 12 year birthday party was also a wonderful event :)
Olympics were somewhat fun and I like OOC events in general
What I wish for:
-smaller number of (role play) events in favor of more meaningful content
-new players and watching visitors should be allowed at all events, assemblies and meetings that are not explicitly closed for informational reasons, and those closed events should maybe not appear in the public calendar at all
-there must not be any harassment towards new player because they „picked the wrong event from calendar“
-a dedicated event channel, one for each of the 3 (!, you heavily neglect german translation) main languages, those open before a event begins, that those channels open informs all players that there is an event starting soon, translations and talk should happen in those channels (I had the problem that I was standing too far away and I missed dialogues), that also could temper people who are just reading the event channel to join events after they already started
-the description in the forums, need to be more informative, „www“ when? who? where?, not even that simple information is properly communicated in many event announcements,
it happened several times to me that I visited an event with an English forums announcement and the event was only played in French, not to mention some Germans, who gave up visiting events because they don’t understand enough English and there is no German translation, or even worse they feel bad to have someone who translates for 1-2 people and they don’t tell they need translation, they just vanished from events :(
-for events that involve fighting against npc and mobs a reasonable reward is important, that annoyed me pretty much at the Tryker „A birthday invitation“ event, the fighting was fun, but I damaged my brand new sup amps and got no loot, nothing at all for it, and the story part was just flat, a story can be a sufficient reward for me, but not this one
I often felt like Freddy in #6, more than once since I’m around I searched for an event from the calendar and it obviously did never happen at all and no-one knew about it, no one canceled it in time.
I like Naemas post #11, that everything looks alive, even if you are completely alone, this immersion is an important aspect of what makes Ryzom so special :)
