Recently on Facebook, Admins asked if we would rather have more updated content, or more special events. Many answered Special Events, and im all for the updates. Lets get some mounts already!. I am asking you guys to please leave what you think. In my opinion, i would rather get to Mounts, Pets, Quests, Armor, Zones, etc.. and leave the special events, well, special for special occasions.

I prefer events because it keeps me busy and actually makes the game fun. Updates just make everything and everyone panic and cry :roll: Besides, i LOVE collecting items!

Well a update takes around 4 months to be release.... And gets old. In less than 1 month
A events ussually length is 45 days to 60 days and makes revenue for the game each time some ppl will put money on the game . And keep hardcore ayers busy .....

I will put a example the lack of events from mid january ( end of cristhmas event )to release of update 4 took a toll in the game making in shrink players wise , from having a couple of hundred ppl online at any time to few dozens per world. So they got balance the events and updates to keep gamers happy .

i saw this on Fb too and was abit suprised with the overwhelming responses being events

I mean come one, events are obviously nice to have as it beings a bit of variety along with the rare items that goes along with the occasion.

However, i am sure there are a good majority of folks who rather Admin spent the time in
1) Further game content - New Maps, New Mobs, New Gear , New Quest!
2) Fixing game bugs - Making classes more balance, stable worlds with no restarts
3) Attending to the constructive feedback we have given in General Discussions.

Compiled list of feedback for Admin

Dragon Armour (Elemental resistance) for Admin

Admin said they will look into it in the future but its been 4-5 months already for crying out loud. Do we really have to get anyone to start *** and moaning everytime just to get one feedback implemented? I am good with being patient and all but I fear these will probably get neglated and not come out in update 4 just becoz labour and time resources were spent in making events.

Also in terms of events. We have finished the birthday event, a long summer event and now the incoming halloween event. Before you know it, Xmas event will come,which may further delaying the points I made earlier. Events are starting to get a bit weavy. We need a bit of variety and balance between - Game Content, Bugs, feedback and finally event.

OK what we are leaning towards is for events adding some content that is permanent rather than just for the event. So we would use the events to add new quests and things that would stay after the event finishes. There would also be some things that are just for the event which will go, but at least the events will also be adding permanent content into the game instead of just treading water adding and removing content constantly.

Events are temporary, updates are permanent. I'm for updates.. Would much rather be levelling my Crafting skill or saving for my badass new mount/pet, than stood around camping the green dragons or collecting sunstones :)

That said, if they were to stop doing so many events, they would need to make sure that the updates are continous and at a good speed, otherwise players will start to get real bored. :)

Edit: Christmas, Birthday and Halloween events are plenty.

Why is this a one or the other choice? It takes both to really be succesful. I hate to compare this game to Warcraft, but Warcraft is the most succesful MMO in history, its because they cover all of their bases not just one or the other. But, if I had to choose, I would go with content. Its like asking would you like to eat a steak, or just sip on A1 sauce?
