Ryzom

Hey Taki, sticky maybe on the post?

Also, I've talked to a few people about it - would it be possible to rename the post?
Something like "Event Idea Submission Thread"?
Might get a little more traffic that way
If it is possible, that is.

It's too early in the morning!
I gotta get to PR where it's not so bright, hehe.

One of the things that drew me in Ryzom was the Kitin attacks staged in beta.... We've had only a few events such as those since retail release.

My idea is to have a Kitin scouting raid attack on random outlying villages on a periodic basis... small party of say 20-30 arachnids lead by a kitin wishing to gain fame (hehee) with its brethrens.... periodic in sense of say once every 4 hours, or maybe once every day. Being a 'small' party, you can let dp occur to those players defending the village. To possibly make it more fun, have the Kitins lootable for more than dappers - mats, high quality weapon or armor or jewelry, wisdom ambers, etc...

This needn't be constrained to the Kitins - there are plenty of outlaw tribes in the hinterlands that might eye an outlaying village as a easy target....

The only flaws I'm seeing with this idea is A) there is very rarelly a number of people in any small village at any given time. These places are usually desolate (when I'm on anyway) and there's no one to defend them. Second is, what would be the consequence if no one defended the village? Loss of the village? Other than that it's a good idea, just suggesting that things like this seem to be overlooked. Especially with the consequence thing, without them the attacks would be ignored most of the time.

Also, I don't really agree with the whole dropping of weapons thing. That's not how this game has been, it's understandable if there are npcs attacking, but kitins don't generally carry swords (at least not that I've seen )

1. A gauntlet type event. Setup a Mob gauntlet that would not normally be present in an area. Then send individuals or teams through the area. Could be a least kills, most kills, no kills, least time, most creative type solutions to get from 1 side to the other. Different levels for different abilities.

2. Migrations in low level areas. Let's see more migration in lower level areas. Migration is cool, but the lower level people do not even see it. Maybe there is a MOB drive from one place to another, maybe from their summer grounds to their wintering grounds. Kind like you would drive your cattle, etc. Maybe it is pushing the herbies through an aggro area, and protecting them, etc.

I am sure I have much more, I just can't find it in my mind at the moment. =(

I dont look at the North American thread a lot, maybe its a shame...

I get the impression you all want the guides / gm's want to organize the events. You can organize a lot yourself too...

here are some ideas:

black alley knife fights:

alliance PvP in arena:

Beachparty (after invasion)

Tryker Pirate Event:

Sorry, I couldnt find the treads for the naked boxing, or the mektoub races...

All these were very good player events on the aripostle server.
Sometimes the guides / gm's helped a bit, but it was organized by the players.

Hope it will help a bit!

A mini-kitin invasion. No, I mean mini-kitins like Mini-me's. Kitins the size of suckling Yubos or something. 1000's of them everywhere! No, 10's of 1000's of them. They could be different colors and all.

Mamma had a huge litter and they have overrun the world.

So many you can't even walk around without stepping on them. Like Locusts or something.

LOL, cute

With the multi-color comment I think of little skittle bugs.

"Kitins...Taste the Rainbow."

o.O

Sounds fun, but I'd have to find my big shoes fer the squishin'!
