you know I really cannot say anything about the Sonoma EM's as I have only see one role play event in New Haven [just happen to recall in a catch the act], I have not see any call to arms in game, [RBG call out to stop raid, etc..] all I have see is the V day event, the St Patty event, a meet and greet where the EM wanted to give me a sash, [thanks, I have one it says RBG], there was the PvP toury, was cool to watch till one of the major PvP guilds kept killing the people that came to just watch the event, there is the weekly Virtue classes, [that I have not gone to because I really don't need to], so over all I have to say that the current EM events just are sad.
Now if they get off their butts and rally the RBG to do something in game then I will be there, but till then sorry I rather fight the spawn at the CS.
