Idea for better participation and notice of Events

[HVOstroHS]

Sometimes, well most of the time, there is a lack of ppl going to events. This is mostly due to low prizes and bad hosts. But, there could be a better way to raise awareness of events. For instance, if an event is going on and somebody new connects to the server, have a message pop up saying "An event is going on! The event is:". Also, when an ET starts an event they should have a system for this as well (for those people that ignore Mass Messages).

Think it's a good idea? Yes/no?

No, people ignore mass messages for a reason and new members aren't joining 2k1 anymore due to it's "shittyness". Besides, most new players become bomy's and bomy's RARELY can participate in events.

I dont think he means a mass, I think he means things like whe graal 2001 is updated and you get that box.

Then you get PMs saying "WAIT FOR ME I WANT TO PLAY THE EVENT! NO FAIR, YOU'RE CORRUPT! YOU STARTED WITHOUT ME!"
Same with masses that people get when they're afk or brb... it's a big mess, but overall, it's a decent idea... I don't know if it would promote Event participation though.

that wouldnt be a problem if there was some kind of event warper, an npc that warps the player to an event.

there are events scattered throughout 2k1, people would just warp there to conveniantely (sp?) go where they want.

no, if there is an event active, then the npc would work. if there wasnt, then it wouldnt work

What if there were 2 going on at once?

Better yet:

Make a system in ewhich ET's can send messages through the status system to everyone announcing events.
