So what, you're getting mad because a small event for a few PIXELS wasn't announced to your satisfaction? He had a bit of time and wanted to do something nice for those of us who didn't have anything better to do. It's not worth getting nasty over.I personaly was out to dinner with some friends and family, then came home. let the kiddos open a gift and their stockings, put out some cookies and eggnog for santa, got them in bed and then figured i would hop on and see what mess i could get into. Then i see all this and oh what a mess this is.
How is that proven? If Bennu didn't care what we say or how we feel, then why the hell would he be here? From what I've seen, he puts a lot of time and effort into trying to make events enjoyable for everyone. As he's already said, he's still new and has much to learn, but damned if you people give him a chance to!Bennu does not care what you say or how you feel people, that is proven. He is in this EM postion for all the wrong reasons. to whomever does not like what I have to say, ya know what , F*%# Y@%. I dont really care. Same for you Bennu, you wear that sash because you think you are God of Atl, that shoulda been a clue right there we had problems coming.
The Crux Ansata is open to ALL of Atlantic. It is NOT exclusively RP. Yes, it can be RP intensive as times, but there is also much fighting involved, and quite rewarding to those that take the time to try it out.when he announces events for the Crux it is because he is not wanting to please Atl, it is to please the role playing community (see his post a little further down list with that convo).
Bennu is NOT Nestor. Therefore, you can't expect him to act like Nestor. He has his own unique style, and tries very hard to engage Atlantic. I've seen how some act at events that are advertised as hardcore RP. It's all gimme, gimme, gimme. Hell, I recall hearing that someone even went so far as to call the poor guy a vending machine.Oh where is Nestor when you need him? Messena if you bother reading this, can we have an EM that is going to please ATL as a whole or shall we keep the one that has made friends with a select few?
Apparently you don't like to read, most of us were on and saw nothing. The people that are saying they saw something were exactly the same people that always get an item.
EM events are something unique to UO. They happen in NO other game that i know of in such a personal manner. EMs dont get paid, they dont have to do events, the take their own time to plan them. Everyone should just be very greatfull that we have dedicated people who do this. A surprise here and there, its what makes the game great. For a number of years there were NO EM run events.
Everyone complaining needs to take a step back, realized what we have in UO, and appreciate the dedicated people who keep the game alive.
I'm not even gonna bother with anything else. I'm sick. I'm tired. And now reading all this has gotten me annoyed.Personally, I think it was great of Bennu to take time away from his family on Christmas Eve to do this for the shard. Like many folks trying to be nice, it's damned if you do, damned if you don't. He certainly can not please everyone all of the time.
What an excellent post.Hope this helps.
Check posts 11 and 38 above. The announcer was used so your entire post there was worthless...Do you even know what an event announcer is?
apparently not so I'll inform you. an event announcer is an npc that announces stuff...about.... well...events. How funny huh? An event announcer npc.....announcing events......brilliant!
Now....do you know what an npc is? Apparently not so I'll inform you of this as well. NPC stands for a NON PLAYER CHARACTER and Mr Bennu doesn't have to do jack **** but put in the text for it to announce.
Now imagine this for a second. Mr Bennu wakes up, eats his oatmeal, drinks a cup of foldgers....and then logs on for like 5 minutes to input the text to have the announcer say it throughout the day. Then logs off. If he has time to pull some of the **** he's been pulling he'd have plenty of time to do that.
Let me know if you have trouble reading anything else before you post again.
I'm not sure about others, but I'm with Toad Town (A player run town) and we've thrown quite a few "player events" on Atlantic giving hundreds of mills away in contests, games etc. =DOne last thing. I haven't seen a player run event in a couple years. (other than the public yellow crystal harrower battles) If you really love events, take the initiative and plan and run one yourself. Player run events are very fun, in the past guilds have pulled together donations for prizes, and they were all very fun and community oriented.
I hosted one a few months ago... To Wynn her Freedom which was a long quest ending in a hedge-maze that covered 2 18x18 plots. A lot of work went into it and Bennu was kind enough to help by locking down a few "clues" around the world. I originally did a "trial run" with the ARPC group to test it out and make sure it was functional. That went over great. Sadly, the full shard version had much lower attendance than the ARPC version and no one completed the event.I'm not sure about others, but I'm with Toad Town (A player run town) and we've thrown quite a few "player events" on Atlantic giving hundreds of mills away in contests, games etc. =DOne last thing.

Never would drop my kids or family for UO.The point of the event was not to draw players away from their families on Christmas Eve. As an example: Angel Dust gave us a nice run-down of his/her evening with the kids and then logged on to find that this had happened and seems ticked that he/she missed the event... Would Angel really have dropped the kids on Christmas Eve to attend an EM event? If so, that's downright sad. What is the real priority here?.
