Well so far I have been in two events that call for the "Dark" of heart so to speak. One was the Dark Wanderer event and the other was the robbery event mentioned. I personally disliked both for different reasons.
The Dark Wanderer event was great in that it actually had someone walk around and approaching people becuase he needed a job done. This seemed like a very realistic way to start an event in my eyes. I definately hope to see this more often

. However the event itself was "running to the north gate, waiting, listening, running to Bronze doors, waiting for everyone, listening, running back, looking around a bit, running back to Bronze doors, listening, running back to Hydlaa. There was no real story and people who were part of the Guard of Honor and such actually helped someone like the Dark Wanderer no questions asked eventhough the mission was worded rather fishy. There was also no mention of the reward besides the general "riches" (2000 tria is riches aparently :S) making myself wonder why my character was even doing what he said. Just to many people there to make an RP of it I suppose.
The robbery I walked in on but the note seems a bit fishy you have to admit if noone like the Dark Wanderer is even involved. Further then that the evet was pretty fun eventhough it didn't have a big story. Would be more interesting if one wouldn't have so much lag and escaping wouldn't be so gamemechnic instead of RP though. But thats my opinion of events in general

The mass makes good RP kinda hard.
