Was talking tonight with a few people about player run events that have happened in the past and looking for events that we could run again which would be fun and get alot of the community envolved. The results of this where that I am considering running a few events.

The first would be a Teav vs Team or Guild vs Guild league which would run over a number of weeks. The idea would be that guilds or teame enter and register upto 10 players, matches would be teams of 6 players and be a pvp team duel, a total of 5 rounds would be played and scores entered at the end. The winning team would recieve say 100 points for the win, at the end of the season the team with the most points win, if there was a tie then the team with the higest kill to death ratio would be the winner etc.

The idea of registering more players to a team would be so that every team would be able to field a side every week. We could charge an enterance fee for the event and the winning prizes would be distributed from the prize fund, also we could sitribute anything that had been donated to the event by the community be it cats, armour stes, jewels etc.

I prefer the league idea over a tournament knockout sinply because everyteam must face each other, in order to claim to be the best you have to beat everyone else, its not down to 1 lucky round, the winner will truly be the team / guild pvp kings and queens of Atys.

The second idea was to run a 1v1 Duel

There are many options that we could choose here, melee, magic, ranged, daggers but I think to start with we would be looking at either open melee (1h or 2h) or magic or an open event which could include melee vs magic.

My personal preferance would be to start with open melee.

Entry requirements would be that you have to have mastered your melee skill for you to enter into this tournament (yes we c ould do different tournaments for different levels). Again this could either be league or knockout based, depending on the signups.

Players would pay an enterance fee and ofcourse donations would be welocme to increase prize funds, thease would be shared out and confrimation of prizes will be posted prior to the tournament commencing.

For both events I would be looking at running them on Sunday evenings, this post is really to gauge intrest to see if it is worth me investing time into, if it does go ahead i will introduce a tournament website so that all matches, results etc are there for youa ll to see.

If this went along I would also need help in the form of referees and ofcourse any donations are welcome, arrording to the responses recieved I will or wont arrange the tournaments in due course.

Any suggestions, feedback offers please leave them here or /tell scorpius "i got you coffee" in game

few showed any interest in that one... >>

EDIT :: If you don't like RP, just go to the (last) post(s) to read the event idea, the first posts are all fun story-mode for setting it up

Funny, people over at the Kami Alliance are running something similar (a Guild vs. Guild tournament).

And people are showing interest in that one =)

I've always enjoyed this kind of pvp (no matter the prize - in my eyes a ryzomer fights to win not to get payed). I was imagining the kami GvG just as a first step and gaining experience with organising with an aim to extend it to whole Atys.

If you want to make it server wide we'd happily help in any way we can and certainly take part in it

Im not ssure what the Kami where planning as far an a PVP event goes, my thoughts where to runa few over a period of time on a laague basis so you firht evryone atleast once,, the winner will be then the ones whoa re most consistant, not the one who ave had a lucky few fights.

I was going to run a tournament site from guardiansofjena.com probably off a subdomain. However before I started working on the site side of things I wanted to make sure that there was a need for th events and otournament systems, didnt want to waste time on it if noone wanted to participate.

Perosnaly I think that inj time and with help this could turn into some great tournaments, I also have other dieas which we may talk about further down the line, something like balanced op wars over a q50 op? I mean noone really wants a q50 OP but might be fun to actually have a balanced OP war over one, just for fun ofcourse.

hallo,

sorry but just gonna say stuff? maybe to gain mass appeal ye need an event that doesn't feature pvp for max grindage hominitos?

bit ignorant here as not read the blurb but it seems every pvp think we have have has involved stand and shoot type logic....XD

error to many najabbskins

I think more people would be interested for sure, we have also been recently talking about it and were trying to sort a massive, open to all, team based event in nexus as a one off fun game... but the GvG tourni in matis arena, its simple to organise, lets just do it

so keep eyes open for some big scale events for all comming soon!

and as g00st said, this does not have to be just for masters.... we can make a tourniment of PvP with level restirctions (has been done before) so guilds put in teams of different lvls in different leagues... and the nexus tourniment, ok that would be more a high lvl player session but it doesnt have to be, we hardl every take a whole team of masters to events, we prefer splittin teams up and having lower lvl players in

of all player run events, i must say i enjoyed the noob sneak contest Zora->Thesos the most

was that the one i set up or a different one? ive run two run for your life events before they were botha good laugh maybe with all these new players its time for another one soon.....

I dont mind organising anything and working with you guys on it, I think the sooner we get some events going the better.

Might be worth chatting in game or smmat.
