Our awesome event marathons had only a few ECs, it was mostly things like RoTs and Ice Shields and FIDs that Pat and myself had of our own, Maroku couldn't supply prizes. u stfu, it was something to do that everyone could be involved in.
The playercount was 30-40 during me and Pat's time. I'm not saying it was because of us there was a high playercount (probably was though, just saying), but because of the almost constant events and things to do, people were more likely to log on spread around the EC and other prizes.
These mediocre "quests" that are the same every few weeks are the only ones that get hosted. Zelt is rarely on, but that shouldn't be a problem, we have more EMs. Maroku is inactive. Ok, not good, but we have more EMs, right? No, we don't. No one is active, and when they are, it's maybe 2 events a week and then "big" event once every few weeks, and the "big" event is just the same as the last one. Our EMs suck, our Event Admin sucks.
We surprisingly have Raz online hosting now, but this is most likely just a fad and will not happen again for several days. I called it.
