Global Event Server
 

Okay guys, sorry for the late response, been busy trying to get GK all good for Easter. Anyways, in our other thread that I created asking how we can improve global guilds, there were a lot of nice suggestions.

One of the suggestions that piqued my interest the most was TSAdmin's idea for a server specifically made for global guilds: Global Events.

How do you guys like the idea of a server with just events for guilds to participate in, namely Capture The Flag, Last Guild Standing, etc?

I figure, global guilds who want to participate in such events can log into the server and register their guild to the server, which would put their guild on the high score list, however the high score list would only display the top 10 guilds.

Now, let's brainstorm to think of the possible things that could go wrong with the server, for example:
the server would require at least two guilds on at all times, how can we ensure that there are always two guilds on the server to make sure it stays active?

How about ideas for guild events? Let's try to be creative and give most of them a nice classic Graal feel.

Aside from the automated events, should we hire an events team that can host special events?

If we do this, who will help me make it? I don't want to do it alone.

So, what do you guys think?

I would be willing to help if there would be something to archieve, like, points for a guild that increases the ranking, not only PvP, but other events :p

very good idea. Just 1 question; it will be classic graal themed or gk or something else?

I think it would do a world of good for guilds if there was a central place where they can be in competition. I'm all for it.

I could probably design a couple of events :o

I'd be willing to help.

You'd have to have some sort of global events system, so you could advertise to all members of the signed up guilds that an event is starting.

I could see this going either extremely well or extremely bad.

Well being that you have tons of activity and it's a hit.
Bad that it gets an original hit of activity and then drops off to nothing.

I voted Other.

I'd like it more, if this Global Events server were to only host Events on Saturday and Fridays at about 3 PM EST (So European players could join the Events too).

My idea is to host hige events on these two Days, and put the Server on the Classic Tab only on these two days from 2 PM EST untill 4 PM EST and host stuff like CTF, Team Spar, Last Guild Standing and then on Monday display the Winners in the news.

Otherwise the Server will end like the Testbed server and everybody will stop using it after two weeks.

I'd be willing to help out with levels if you guys wanted me. Just let me know if you're gonna go ahead with this - you have my AIM Tig.

Sounds like a great idea.

I think Global events are a good idea but to have an always standing server is pointless.

great idea!
i'd be willing to help (maybe o.o)

Good idea.

I think an Events Team of 4 decently active players who know how to host the event and actually have the time to host events, would be good. And unless these Events Team members know how to develop also, i suggest you have someone stay concentrated on development of this Events Server.

1 Events Admin to host special tournaments, manage the team, handle issues the Events Team members can't handle themselves ect. I just woke up, ill post some more ideas for this later, although this is a step in the right direction. :)

Also, i think xXZiroXx's Events system would be of great use for this.

I don't know if this would work.

That only starts and ends Events, doesn't really host them.

What's the actual point of this idea again?

I provided some examples for that part.
