"dead" Items.
 

Are these "dead" items ever going to be brought back into the world? I mean items that nobody has anymore, like Ice Axe of Swiftness should be evented off.

I coined the term "dead items", you have to pay me a diamond every time you use it.

Please, provide legal reference material to prove you coined it before him.

It is now established that you have to pay licensing fees of one diamond to Googi for every use of "dead item" hereafter. :p

I'll pay you Googi.

If they do event off these items that arn't active anymore they will be a huge up roar when someone wins somthing. People will question if they bribed the EM and such. And everyone who didn't win somthing will be moaing 24/7 on the forums how the event wasn't fair or somthing like that.
The same thing happened when they evented off the Great Leaf Shield.

I say we circumvent Googi's copyrights and come up with a name that's public domain.

How about: "Temporarily Deceased Items"

That works for me.

Or "missing in action" items.

God how true this is. I find people are too power hungry...no should say too greedy these days. I would love to get older items to event off but like you said there would be complaining and such. So lets leave it as is. If Sam decides to put a good item in any one of us events master bags we will be sure to event it off.

Look how long it took me to event off the Fire Shard Wand. Still complaints but seriously I don't care.

That's hogwash. Simply raffle them - or some other event which is entirely chance based.

Also, when were people *not* greedy?

My gosh! Thank you, finally somebody else thinks it would be best to raffle items. As Stephen said this makes it much more fair and therefore you won't get complaints, everyone likes the raffle because its easy and fun to play. This way would just make it much more fun to play instead of the hour long "RP events" where not many people can be bothered to play >_<

The Administration (Sam) is under the opinion that the Raffle isn't a serious event since the players don't have to interact with anything.

I think that mostly everyone will agree the elegant simplicity of the system raffle employs is fairly amusing on it's own. One doesn't always need to be chasing down monsters and tearing their hearts out to have fun. :\

Yeah, make it an event where there is no subjectivity to complain about would be my suggestion.

Or just make the EC Shop inventory larger so you can make more of these items.

You hit the nail on the head. Raffles are for lower valued stuff, not for "Ice Axes of Swiftness" or similar.

Yes I agree with this. But currently there arent enough ECs around that people can use to make stuff, i've been trying to buy loads of ECs recently and have only managed to buy 2 when paying 30 dias for them, its crazy :mad: the EMs either need to start giving out many more ECs each or more EMs need to be appointed

hmmm, I can see why you don't want large value items to be raffled off (kind of). But I don't really understand why because this would be the most fair way as none of the EMs could be bias and everyone will be able to get involved with it

Hate to say this but even if u raffle off a good item ppl still complain. It sickens me.

why not? on zone they have chance/skill events and non p2p's can win them. Its partly luck who you get placed by wether or not your teamed and then skill si wether you will die or not.

Wow you ppl seem to have a really weird image how just how many ec's we em's get. Let me put it this way. 10 events and I got rid of all ec's I have. Then what its back to this. And we don't need a ton of em's. It sickens me how greedy ppl have become. So what if there are new things in Coin Shop...don't mean u need it. They are gonna be there in 3 months.

Really? Hmm I didnt realise that... I have no idea why they would complain, they have all had the same chance of getting that item so hmm.. >_< i think that raffle should be used before, i remember when the ems would always use raffle but it doesnt seem that way anymore

Its hard enough to get a good item from Sam to event off. But yeah mostly me and sage and other em's did lottery to empty our em bag of all the common stuff to get a refill.

Well we can only do it once a week. If I did it All the good items i could give in other events would be gone.

No, no and no. I don't think you understand what everyone is talking about here :confused: You keep saying people are greedy, how is this? People aren't greedy, they just want to get better, isn't that the whole point of the game or is there something people aren't telling me? :p

I was answering this. We have a limit on what sam gives us in the amount of ec's.

How much are you on when I am hampy?? Not a lot. Ur probably on when the older more experienced players are. But when I am on there are a ton of greedy ppl. I mean scamming, overcharging, etc. When it comes to events if its not for a gold key, event coin or dias they complain "omg a level 4 map". Thats what I mean by greedy.

Ok well I can see that you want to host RP events, thats fine host an RP event, but please, please, please host other stuff too! Stuff that people who don't enjoy rp events will enjoy. It drives me crazy when people, especially EMs always complain about not having enough people to play their events, well have you ever thought it may be because they think you events suck? Nothing personal but I'm just saying it would be nice to have a different event for a change, they all seem to be very similar these days... :noob:

Again when are you on when I am?? I can show u lists of events that I have hosted. I just don't do RP events. With the new subscribe system out now we are getting tons of ppl.

I see what you mean, when I win an event I always thank the EM no matter what prize it is. I can see why you would get angry when people complain about that, that would annoy me too infact. But I guess generally people expect to be getting ECs from events, so perhaps if the prize wasn't a EC then the players could be told what it would be before the event so they can decide if they want to play or not. Basically I would say most of the players only do events for the prizes

I'm on now :D nobody wanna host now though :( (Raffle ftw.)

Lol we also have a minnimum limit of 30 ppl to be on too.

Yes raven, i'm not trying to argue with you. Personally I think you're a good EM, an active player too so I hope you didn't take that personally I'm just talking about the EMs as a whole

Thats the whole point of events...prize or prizes. But you tell them and they complain or they come and act really bad just to get it cancelled. Me and Proto are doing that now. If you come and a bunch don't listen after several warnings we will end the event. We shouldn't have to put up with that and neither should the other ppl who are there to take part in the event.

The only thing i take personally is u didn't tell me that I looked ugly today *pouts* :p

Yes I agree with this, I actually didn't think that people would complain about what prizes they get, a prize is a prize and they should be thankful for getting it but its obvious some people don't feel that way unfortunately

Ewww whats that on your neck? ...Oh, its your head, sorry ;) B-dum tish ^^

Those ppl that don't just want better items granted but still. I don't get paid to do this. This is on my own time. I do enjoy it but I really wish ppl would just accept stuff.

Lol that made me laugh..nice

Yeah, I can tell that it would take a lot of patience to be a EM, not the type of job I would like to have so I :clap: for the good EMs who take their time to do this and thank them for making GK a better place :D

When I was EM I held a lot of raffles. This is partially because I am lazy, and because they are a lot less confusing for players. Players don't want to *learn* how to play an event, they want to *play* an event.

To make the event last longer I would tell jokes and just have some fun with the players. I still don't see why the Raffle is such a horrible option.
