Observation: Events Team

xXziroXx · #1 01-08-2009, 09:02 PM

The past three weeks, there have been zero events during the days in Europe time, even when playercounts range between 15-20. This leads me to believe there's a distinct lack of ET members living in that timezone, and I would like to propose the hiring of one or two.

Actually, there's been a lack of events all together. I've seen three ET's host events, mainly Dustin, Nathaniel (I think?) and Maroku, but I can probably count the number of events on two hands.

Sure, I haven't been on 24/7, but I'm just posting this to hopefully get events hosted more actively and not just when there's 25+ players during prime time. There's nothing more depressing on Kingdoms when you see an ET go on tag, only to untag 10 minutes later without having hosted anything (believe me, that happens rather often). More events would not only help to drop the Event Coin prices back to normal (from 20 to 30 dias in just few months, what...?), but it would lead to a more stable flow of online players during the majority of hours.

Thoughts?

We've lost a lot of EM's recently. I think there is only 3 of us at the moment. I live in the European timezone and I'm online pretty often. But usually I can't get to host an Event until about 10:00pm because of the low playercounts.
During the weekend isn't a problem, I can usualy host as early as 2:00pm. It's just the weekdays when we get a major player drought.

That happened? It really shouldn't be. We're not supposed to be on tag unless we are hosting an Event. Did you remember who it was?

I believe it was Zeltino.

Just hire me, I live in France

The problem isn't the lack of EM's... I understand where Naith is comming from, GK's playercount is way too low most weekdays, for obvious reasons - people have a life.

Zelt does idle in trade with (GK Staff), but not on EM tag.

This "trial EM" thing is stupid. Hire people, if they're inactive ever, fire them.

If you fire EM because their inactive EVER then there would be no EM. Plasma Events Assistant or what ever his title was, I don't know what happened to him. He just disappeared with no word.

As far as the other day, I've seen two or 3 different EM on tag but not hosting, doing preparations for the next days event or later day event.

Me and Pat and whoever else was an EM with us were almost constantly hosting. The reason EMs aren't active is partially because they don't feel obligated to actually host. If they knew being inactive would cost them their position, they wouldn't have applied to begin with.

Bring it up with Maroku to hire more EM then if you guys are so bothered.

kia345 · #10 01-09-2009, 03:42 AM

I know I do, he just ignores me.

I guess I don't speak mediocrity.

shrimps · #11 01-09-2009, 04:02 AM

Who knows, if he wants to hire more, maybe I'll try EM.

Edit: Just found out Plasma quit GK, he has no Gold, and he's been playing WoW.

Yes. Yes it is. The selected few that we have do host when they're online, which they aren't all of the time.

So you're calling me a liar, how nice of you. I saw it at least once, I'd like to recall it happening twice but not necessarily with Zelt.

This is what this thread is about, in case you skipped reading my original post.

I'd like to point out that being on tag is the only way to get into certain areas like event buildings [when the event isn't active] and the staff shop. FAQ's can walk in whenever they want because they're supposed to be on tag all the time, but EM's have to pop on and then pop off.

I've always found an EM online around peak times, there have been problems with empty EM bags sometimes and they just can't host w/o donations, or if raven was still hosting

- He evented his own stuff off when EM bag was empty.

That's not the only hours of the day when there's at least 15 players online. You shouldn't be forced to play at peak hours, which might be rather late for most Europeans when there's school or work day the tomorrow, to get a fair chance to participate in events. Especially not since Event Coins are so valued in the economy.
