Thank you for all the replies. I'll try to come up with events that address your points, but please bear with me as I just start getting into that.

I can't promise to address all your replies in the next time, but I'm quite positive that I can address them with time.

@Sen, yeah, silly me, I totally forgot about that poll *looks ashamed*

Thanks again and keep the replies coming :)

Events that require the use of job skills.

I think GMs should be allowed to play the game using non-GM characters and, while doing that, they should be able to spawn unique items for themselves and elicit the cooperation of other GMs to help facilitate things (ie playing NPCs and monsters).

If GMs masquerade as normal players, then players will be more quick to help one another and interact with one another.

Masquerading as a normal player can also help GMs catch trouble-makers in the act.

this thread was about gm events, i dont see a mention of a request on how to do a gms job.

It's an alternative way to go about gm events, Caarrie and quite on topic.

I like to see what events GMs come up with, the more people who can be included the better and the more power the players feel the have the better.  I don't like how I phrased that but, still.

Also, as Karyuu pointed out, one that uses certain characters unique skills or positions.  Events would seem much more integrated if they involved The Royal House of Purrty, for instance, or the Rangers of Yliakum.  Also serves as a good way to reward those who roleplay well, although it does require a bit of planning with those involved.

I never tire of PS' awesome puns. But yes, the type of events I like are ones that limit OOC motives.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

I'd like to see an event where the storyline's a mystery, and the players have to figure it out with some help (or misleading ;) ) from the NPC's.

Sort of along the same line of thought there, events that involve teamwork are good - it's a nice way for players/characters to meet each other.

I want the kind of event where I never know that a gm is toying with me and I get rewarded for playing dumb over the long run.

I'm new and have yet to participate in an event, so I'll just give my thumbs up to others posts I like the sounds of.  The follow two sum up my feelings at this point.

For my guild, certainly events requiring finding something/someone or having to know the terrain are attractive.

Quote from: Hrothbert
I would like to see events, like those mentioned earlier, that will continue and grow the people and characters and atmosphere, but the challenger here would be to make the events not to difficult for others to join in the middle, fact is in life events happen all the time but not everyone is affected by the beginning of it and/or only play a small role somewhere in the middle, or just hear about it from those that were there. Size for the amount of people doesn't matter to me.

I'd like an event where all PVP'ers are teleported "Intact", with skills/stats to the new pvp server. But failing that. A nice hunt the GM  ;D

I would not only like to see more GM events being held, but also a more simple way to enable players to suggest ideas about possible events to more experienced people - especially experienced in running an event and organising the communication between several participants.

For example, I had a basic idea already for years... now this idea became almost impracticable, due to some unsolved issues with the jumping height. Game mechanics contra creativity.
