We have begun a events schedule, which guarantees a specific number of events at specific times. This schedule doesn't limit events to those times, but instead guarantees that an event will occur - so that you may be ready and expect it.

Half an hour previous to the creation of this thread, there was a large series of events held. It's hardly reasonable to expect the EMs to create a new event every week, or they would spend less time hosting the "regular" events and more working on their new ones.

I have encouraged our events team to be creative, while asking them to keep a priority to their existing schedules. I think if anything, we have created a much more stable events environment - all events are logged, their winners logged, and the prizes given away without any actual decrease in the previous events schedule.

In closing, what I'm suggesting is that this is a error of expectations, and that while at least maintaining the previous level of events, we have increased and regulated events from their previous state.

Me and Pat had like 30 events a week with half decent prizes before this ****ty "LOLSCHEDULES" idea came up. Give the EMs a loaded bag and say "host it all this week or you're fired".

I guess you didn't read the first paragraph in the post you were responding to.

I wasn't so much as replying to your post, but replying to the schedule itself.

Now im not saying this to try to flood the economy with ecs or w/e else prizes, but it helps with people wanting to be on because clearly, after you get to how long you and i have played, there is not anything in the game that you havent already done 100x over. So it just helps people wanna play when they are in an event and compete against each other.
There are events daily.

The schedule doesn't limit events; it simply guarantees there'll be at least one event at a specific and dependable time.

There shouldn't have to be a guarantee. EM's should be constantly active and should host whenever they're on with prizes. It's not like they where coerced into the job, they volunteered to spend their time hosting, that's how they should be spending most of their time on Kingdoms.

We only chose EMs who were interested. They're not "coerced", they were asked.

That at specific times so players know they can depend on an event at that specific time & day every week. It's fairly simplistic.
