I should make it clear that I meant to say I think that events should not be a main focal point for the server and should be a compliment to the server. I have been through it all, and I agree that events have been made meaningless, and that's one of the problems I want to be addressed by the management when restructuring the events system.

I do agree they should be a rarer occasion and that meaning to events to those participating should be striven for, and ideas can be brainstormed with the players on how to make events more meaningful for them. I do not agree they should be done away with outright, they do add a long term source of entertainment for a server, as long as it isn't abused.

We saw GC over the years evolve into having dominant content and entertainment control of the server and essentially burn its value away to nothing. That is the direct result of Classic overusing and abusing events. They were used to hold up the server instead of complimenting content and Night was interestingly enough able to lead a development effort more reliably and with better results, causing an increasing amount of content being GC content. This is a main problem to GC that I feel needs to be addressed when considering how Classic will approach events, there needs to be a limit of its usage no matter the short term success that events brings, we learned our lesson on that already hopefully.
