and instead of making daily stupid events u should think of a good 1 and annonce it some days before it starts so ppl wont miss it and will be ready for it.I'm allways up to give some ideas so feel free to contact me ingame or forums.
Hardest part of an event you publish on a forums with sign-ups and stuff is to actually get people to SHOW UP. We've had a 2v2 tourny before and half of the people who signed up didn't show up at the event so we had to take random people in.

Secondly, setting up a reward that people don't think is "lame" is rather hard, because we do not want to give out high end gear (brutal, swp) nor titles (we're still looking into getting the pvp title system).

Now, mounts. All the "rare" mounts like Headless Horseman's, spectral tiger and such are arena season winner exclusive, so those are not available for us to award from events, and the other less rare mounts are dull and people would just complain "they're not good enough". Now items like pets, tabards, random amount of badges and other items that really do not give players any advantage are good rewards, but usually results in an outburst of cry "why so bad rewards!!" and something else like that.

If you have any ideas / suggestions for events / rewards, feel free to post them on the forums and we will go through them.

huh .. i see.. but how about in small events like stair climbing : 1st:place 15boj 2nd:10 3rd:5 :).
if they dont like that.. then they shouldn't join. i understand ure possition u whant to keep alance in the game , givving free swp/t6 will prevent ppls to less care about badges.

for (BIG) events which can be made 1 time in 2-3 days like Last man standing or each week...
prises can be more attractive... but i have no idea what price should it be...

we can do somehow... that ppls would care less about prizes. we can create a topic somewhere on forums. which shows weekly winners. or something like that... my opinnion for this event player should be givven 1 swp item. :). for his class and spec he's currently at. cauze ppls will be respecting to the event. > from balanced < to > Resto < cauze resto is hard killable ;D. and event like pvp (2v2) can be made at the same time as registration. u annaunce that event starts, (team captain) will mail u teams "name" who's in the team. and u w8 for like 10min to get enought teams :)

we need to thing more about that...share some ideas with ppls ...

yeh idiots will just complain about rewards cause they want swp gear and stuff lol but the event is just for the event.. to have fun not for the rewards and most likely the winners wont give a shit about the reward lol for me its better if u dont give any rewards at all (i know that cant happen)
You can prolly give bear mount or anything else like that as a 1st place reward its not arena reward and i dont think any1 will complain about it.Even if some ppl complain who cares? ull still have enough people to participate.

Trust me, I'd love to give out a donor code / bear mount for a bigger (most likely 3v3 event) scale event, but I'm not sure if Henhouse would give it a green light since the bear is a donor mount. We'll see.

ok talking about events-last week i think there was mindless FFA event with reward free s4 part

now first that's just dumb event and secondly the reward is eh...too good for it


if we're talking about pvp events(2v2,3v3) etc i'd recommend the Black War Bear as a reward since it's super rare here(seen only 1 guy with it)

i know it's a donate reward but everyone just gets amani war bear




way off-topic:just something i noticed with s4 being available there are 10 teams over 2k and idk around 30 teams @ 1.9k+

last season there were like 3-4 teams in the 2k bracket with the others 100-200 rating behind?

ok first i want to say this;
Thanks to my guildy (vanilla) you got me banned after raiding hours together with? What kind of person are you atualy?
And if you rly want in increase the activity and population on this realm then stop reporting your guildys for using glitches or whatever... Actualy you are the one who should be banned for reporting people after asking them to use a glitch for anything that you can't do yourself, you crap kid.
I liked you at the start, but now i know you reported me you lil piece of retard...!
