I agree there wasn't much warning on the last event. A good way of keeping an eye in event developments is having a scan over the Saga forum. (http://www.ryzom.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=35)

I do however think some events should be.. unexpected and out of the blue.. otherwise it's not exactly life like is it.

I think news-npc could do the job, shouting that "Cutthroats are conquer our territories" or/and when You talk to news-people they will tell latest news. Maybe shouting is too spam like, but anyhow.

Sorry that you missed it! but it was announced here about a week before hand, and then ingame with MOTD from about 10 hours before it started, and then updates and instructions for gathering points as it began..

"The raiders just apearing in a few different places and having us splat them while they stand there like dummys isn't exactly a challenge. Give them a bit more.. sense.. Have them plow in to us some more, call in reinforcements, maybe even run away"

heh i saw raiders running away after being attacked outside the northgate of Pyr... it was a bit strange though that they didn't attack unless attacked.. :/

And how does anyone know the story didn't progress? What would have happened if nobody had bothered? What will happen tommorrow? Does anyone know??

on leanon it did, ydan(the former leader of the troops) was thrown out by his higer-ups and gave himself up to the city guards in thesos. it was also his doing that the raiders didn't attack at first. perhaps this happened on arispotle but your fellow players failed to inform the rest of the server about it?

Can i or we have a short description about the event on Leanon ?

I watched the movie from Leanon and i read some posts there. I think, although i am not sure, the players reacted different on both servers.

For example on Arispotle nearly the whole (player) army moved from Pyr to Thesos, then to the two gates and then to Fairhaven. Is it true that the Leanon player army splitted ?

In this thread in post #20 is an elaborate description of the whole battle. Here is the babelfish translation.
A short description:
Around 2000 a lot of cutthroats started popping up in matis, always in 8-16 man groups. Reportedly there was a larger force due south of the matis' cities, but i never saw it. Meanwhile a force of CTs also appeared in Tryker, but fight was not necessary there, as a brave Trykerette talked with their leaders and conflict was avoided. (Come to think of it, i still don't know what exactly happened there...) In Matis we were being annoyed and harrassed by Ydan and Ulykin, where Ydan was responsible for leading the troops and Ulykin was Ydan's higher-up. Strangely enough the Cutthroats didn't attack anyone but struck back fiercely once engaged. There were also reports of sightings in Fyros, but they were dismissed as they weren't big forces.
About an hour after it began reports of a large force in Thesos came in, so the whole force assembled in Matis relocated to there. With the help of scouts the camp near the Matis teleporter was discovered. From then on the Homins alternated in defending Thesos, which was being besieged by the south and east the whole time, and attacking the camp. Meanwhile a few elite teams were busy doing the same in Dyron and near the Zorai teleporter, but we didn't learn of that until the very end. The last camp which was discovered by said teams was the one in the canyon. The main force tried to come to their aid by walking there, but finally had to resort to respawning in the caves. After the camp there was slain a few scouts noticed that Thesos had been overrun by the east and a few brave homins were trying to push them back, so the force returned as fast as possible. But at the same time Ulykin's voice rang out and ordered retreat as well as told Ydan to never come back to them.
The Tryker wandered about aimlessly in Thesos and had a little talk with Sorenal, the leader of the main force, who had also received letters from Ydan during the battle in which it was revealed that Ydan had tried to stack the odds to our favour. Afterwards he walked to the Guard Chief and gave himself up.

I have to note that the event characters were with us the whole time, visible or invisible, and even mocked us with our own tools.

The event on Leanon took a different course. This was due to the invasion of 2 weeks ago ending in player defeat on that server.

On Arispotle the players successfully beat off the Matis cutthroat invasion, leading to a divergent storyline for this next invasion

The course of events will not always run the same on every server as we have previously intimated.
