Wow a thread finally came that made me sign up to this forum! Thanks
MA for finally bringing event tools!
The event terminal is a great idea. No matter how it works it should be free to hold events. Prizes cost enough. And with trophies, it could have a minimum number of participants to qualify for trophies.
The most important tool we need is a way for the Host of the event to talk over the crowd. A way to silence the crowd would work, but seems a little extreme. Maybe with registered events the Host can have their chat appear in a different colour, like with team chat but for all on the radar.
At times you do need to limit the number of participants or spectators for an event so a way to do that would be helpful. An arena would work, or maybe some type of fence or barrier to mark off an area.
Another tool that would be nice is if you could choose whether or not you want mobs in the event area as well as which ones. This is similar to what is coming in the land management system so it seems it would be possible.
And sometimes there are people who think it's great fun to ruin events or break rules, so we need a way to get them out of the event area. Maybe that's a tough one for abuse though.
Hmmm...I know I've had other ideas, they'll come back to me I'm sure. But that's it for now.
edit: One more idea...it would be useful to have a way for the eventholder to PM all participants, especially for events that spead you all over the map.
