AtlasOLimbo Posted October 22, 2025 Report Posted October 22, 2025 This is not to say that server-wide events are a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination, but, they are not the only avenue when creating an event. I believe that the Event Team should look into smaller events that can be stumbled upon too or involve a smaller group of people. These events can be performed more frequently, require less pre-planning and can be performed for people like myself who are not available for 80% of pre-scheduled server-wide events. These 'scenarios' could be anything from; The Governor's cat has been lost somewhere in city hall, GSB and MD have been called to try and locate the kitty. A member of the cartel needs help moving furniture (or possibly something illicit!) from Point A, to Point B. The group with the most furniture moved in X amount of time wins a prize. A self-driving car wreaks havoc on its surroundings, being a general nuisance to traffic and citizens. LEOs are tasked with halting the vehicle. In general, even if pre-planned, I believe smaller, more frequent events spread across more timeslots encourages longer play sessions and generally more activity to see what might pop up. These don't have to be daily, maybe even weekly. But just enough to where people know they're there. CC: @Timmaayy@Ranger Quote
Timmaayy Posted October 22, 2025 Report Posted October 22, 2025 Hello @AtlasOLimbo, this is something that we have already done over the last couple of months, and we have 5 mini events planned over the next few weeks.

This doesn't cover my concerns about time-zones and the events not necessarily needing to be server-wide. All of these events are scheduled during peak. I've experienced maybe one mini-event over the last 2 months in my time playing. As well, these events can't really be partook in by those actively on duty at a legal faction (in most cases). Quote
Timmaayy Posted October 22, 2025 Report Posted October 22, 2025 Events are scheduled with staff availability in mind. However, as mentioned, there are upcoming events that will cater to more players in other time zones. 1 Quote
