If you could go out with Paris Hilton every night, it wouldn't be that special after a month right? Wink
I dunno, I can be very inventive!

Back on topic - I'm doing some hunting at the moment for free games but I love the sound of a WolfET night.. I suggest 29/09/2006 - that's three weeks after the Planetside event this Friday, if Dismus is happy organising it.

Like I said: We tried that. (BF1942, Joint operations, Trackmania Nations, BF2). The first few weeks people are interested, then it slowly starts to slip and after a month nobody shows up anymore. Example: First week of BF2 we had 14 TNGC people online and our own server. After a month I was about the only one left, playing on an empty server.

If you want to do a community event, it should be like the Planetside event: So special and different that people want to ditch their usual business for a day and make time for it. Look at it this way: If you could go out with Paris Hilton every night, it wouldn't be that special after a month right? :wink:

who said about 1 night :lol:

i could, but i don't feel like getting yet another char ready for such a thing, and tbh i don't think it's easy for just 1 night or so. Fast games and shooter are much more fun to just jump in and play as an unexped group.

well if anyone has NWN I might consider starting playing it again :P

Nay! Minsc is imo the best character that has ever existed in any RPG game! He is as well strong/usefull and funnier that all others. And he has some nice hidden stuff =P


*anyway back to topic, the WolfET sounds nice

Agreeing with Ave here. There's only so much time that folks will be willing to spend away from their video-game-addiction-of-choice. Asking them to take a break from it one evening it a week is probably expecting a lot. Once a month should keep everyone happy and help it feel more like an *EVENT* than a regular incursion into their level-grinding time ;-)

well... i think its is most certainly a good idea, but as aveox says, it might become too casual or too "much" even, personly i know with my self, i dont have the time or the energy to try a new game every week. Another thing is that some games have a huge learning cure as it is in case of EVE-online where you cant just jump into action within the first hour or 2. So once a month is a good idea, and then maybe even give it some time for preparation/practice.

by Tricobalt » Thu Sep 07, 2006 5:11 am

i might be a cheap bastard, but if it's free im in. I loved the PS event, because it really gives you the chance to play with the other ppl you see on the forum, and some of who you have no idea that they existed (like ironivan ^^ ).

PS. how about a Baldur's gate Multiplayer game? =P , Me and Boo are ready for action!

[edit] i agrea with the 1 poster above me and the 2 below me :O

Do you work for Massive or EA or something? :P

As the rest said: As long as it is free. Once a week may be a bit much though. People quickly tire of that as our previous "event night" thingie showed. Interesting for the first few weeks, then it starts to die off.

Make it a monthly event and announce it BIG.
