Does anyone know? even an EM?
harsh but bloody well true Esca.....and we all know it.......in a*cough* closed ring/member only *cough* kind of way [lol]Harsh jack
Considering that it hardly even happens that there are "bad apples" at other events on other shards. Some have a few, but I guess its because there is no respect for the events. Well I can understand why there is no respect for EMs or the events on Europa. If you do not try and do something for every group of players, then how can you expect that there would be respect. Have to have players to come up with ideas and such, while EMs should be the ones coming up with things. But I also only had respect for a few people and a few EMs, only one of the EMs on Europa I actually respected. But that person is no longer an EM there. But I do not play anymore, but Alaster you know that the EMs take lightly and joke around with yourself and others. While some people do see it like people are being favouritized and when a group of players is being left outside of the events often then sure they will act when there is more people around and someone who might actually listen. I was also the only one who would speak up about favortism on Europa, but at least the EMs have a large group of followers that support them. Instead of doing something for the whole shard like they do other places. But I have not been ingame for roughtly 1 year, I doubt things have changed.if anyone lemme contact mesanna, and there is no 2.0 to spam the chat at the moment, would it be ok ? i remember an event which happened and a lot of PKR made stupid stuff. Well, we don't blame them, we'd say it's their "RP way".
Mesanna roulette was cool, but it seems, and for me too, not enough.
I'll try to contact her, see how we can manage a surprise coming (well, as far as i learned, and as far as who i am, i can't promise anything)
They do, as contracted employees, but we already know that they are already underpaid for the job they do (only one of which is to design events) and the money doesn't worth it if you're not really into it. We're quite lucky to have EM Adris since there is not exactly a queue for being Europa's EM and some shards spend years with a floater EM or no EM at all. We still mostly see an average of one event per week, we just haven't had any event past week (see: UOEMEvents (UOEMEvents) on Twitter ). While I don't think the events should be for event items, I do understand your play style and both remember and appreciate your past efforts on Europa. The 400th Europa auction event was quite fun though, did you have the chance to attend it?But they do get paid for it.
Well some jobs are underpaid, but seems some EMs do it better than others, and most of them should be getting same pay. But I do not only point out my playstyle there are also other play styles being left out a lot. I have attended a lot of events on different shards, Atlantic, Chessy, Pacific, Great Lakes, LS, Asian shards, Drach, Baja and such in the past and I have to say that compared to those shards I would rank Europa very low. But I guess its because the ideas and the things that EMs actually do for community and the commitment they show can sometimes be amazing. Not to forget the EM's helping out at Rares Fest and such, where you actually get to see them work and see how much work there is into making it all perfect. But its also very well known most of the EMs are older players from other shards, so they all know that there is a lot more to events than just focus on one thing. But that is one of the things with Europa, got the former players from Europa who where a part of the RP community. So no wonder that the focus is there. But it was accepted because of time zones, I can also understand that many players has declined the offer when they had been approached. But I guess its because they like to still be able to play the game freely.The 400th Europa auction event was quite fun though, did you have the chance to attend it?
Small events CAN be made in 15-30 minutes but I never do that, I have in the past and they weren't great. Good events take hours to write, to come up with setup and to run through to make sure they are perfect. You'll be very surprised how long events take and any large event cannot be done in 15-30 minutes. A future event on Europa, it's location, I spent several nights until well past by bed time fiddling with the decoration...But actually most events doesnt take long to setup. Its just all about getting the right things you need to make it work. Many EMs have limited powers, but there are always work arounds. But most just seems like its a lot of work because new / hidden area is being used. I know a few EMs that could make some great events up in 15-30min. Only all the Storyline is a bit of work really. But they do get paid for it.
Well I have known a lot of EMs in my time, and most of them actually are able to plan things fast, but I guess it depends on how you look at it. Many people does not even care about the story behind an event. But since this is on Europa I can see why it might take a lot longer. It depends what you like in an event, and if you do not already have an idea on how you want it all to be/look then ofcause you will have to spend a lot more time. But in most cases people do not even notice it. But sometimes things stand out and will be remembered. Like from Asian shard, but can't compete with them on Events. But ideas and imagination should never be something an EM lacks. As long as there are people who know how the games mechanics work and all the items that are possible to use, then its actually pretty easy to do events. But if you actually have to make a story where your having speech for 10-20min then sure it takes time. But again only a small group of players will actually listen to it. But for Europa it is the larger group of players who attend the events, but there might also be a reason for that.Small events CAN be made in 15-30 minutes but I never do that, I have in the past and they weren't great.

There where moments and I have a lot of other SS from events. But compared to most of the other shards events, Europa had only had a few great ones. Besides have you ever attended Rares Fest or just talked with other players who attend a lot of events? Have you ever heard anything good about the Europa events from people who play other shards also? Improving events on Europa would be pretty easy, if it was not just focused for one group. Even if there is no item drop a player who is only attending for the chance of item drop should still be impressed by the events. But I personally only experienced once or twice over the years. Compared to my experience from other shards. The players I talked with over the years about events also have admitted that Europa does not have very good EMs. But I have not played since I quit, I still doubt it changed. We all experience the Events differently, but try just a few events on the US shards and experience the difference. Only problem you will have is to start up char there and train up one with good enough armour to compete in the battles. But I also know you do not need it, you just wear your undies and beat them all.hey Europa Trader, you forgot the day our EMs made the event where we went to get Dupre, you also forgot a lot of moments i saw europa people say "hey, our EM are awesome".
There is a sentence in france, which says "criticism is easy, improving is way more difficult".
