Hello Gm I Dont know if someone present you that idea.(If yes sorry for spam) This event is really popular and funny.Most of the servers have his own one but in list of events In Smolderforge I havent seen it .So my idea is to make one.
This event is like a race who climb it first he will be a winner.Players to be not able to use potions and items from professions.
How you can create one?-Well you can use for example chairs tables and etc. You also can put and daily quest.To get quest in start of event and finish it on the final.If need more info pm me and thanks in advance.

This would be awesome, I remember almost every private server back in 07-08 used to host these events(believe they were called climb/stair events). They were a lot of fun and if they were long they could last for quite some time. Gotta really keep an eye out for hackers though.
I remember the really long ones had inkeepers as a way of "checkpoints".

The stair event has been mentioned earlier in-game but the event always rely on how would you prevent the hackers from doing the daily by fly-hacking there?

Um maybe one can make the stairs in a confined environment or maybe a similar solution as for the Donor Mall?

Awoth, literally our guy!
Though I feel like you should change the start so people can't go there and practice the route without there actually being an event for it. Not sure how this could be done properly.
Best thing would have been to build this in an inaccessible zone like Emerald Dream or something, bit late for that now though heh.

Emerald Dream is a bit laggy on a "midrange" computer, I had to lower my video settings. Lol
I'm pretty sure a lot of us still have the same kind of computer or a worse one.
If I want to climb it, it would be a mess if we can't try again and again because someone finished it faster than us. Therefore they should introduce it with a limited time to climb and then, it will not only allow 1 "winner". My two cents

However the staircase built will not be represented in the live realm due to the reasons I've mentioned above. At the moment our main barrier is the easy fly hacking.

That's a really stupid reason and it doesn't even make any sense.
You can pretty much hack for everything, in instances, battlegrounds, ...
If the hacker gets caught, he will get banned. What's the difference between those and this staircase event?
