Because most people spend holidays doing something other than playing a video game.Could you at least come with an argument why they should?
Holding Christmas events on the 25th should be enough argument.Could you at least come with an argument why they should?
And what of those who don't?Because most people spend holidays doing something other than playing a video game.

We all pay to play. Most of the community here,( I wont speak for the community, only for myself) Enjoy EM events. Not everyone is a Christian and celebrates xmas/easter. In fact I would be willing to bet one or two of the EMs out there fall in that category. Lets stop the name calling, and stop being so self centered. Understand there is a community at large. The point of the events are to get people logged in and playing. Feel free to do so, or spend time with the family. But lets not try and convince the EMs to stop doing their jobs.are you really that ********? no seriously tell me please if you are that screwed up in the head to make a reply like that... holidays don't happen to often, especially major ones, its common sense to not have events on those days, the EMs themselves should celebrate the day but for some reason they never do
I would imagine that those people shouldn't have any problem making the event if it was the night before or after the holiday then.And what of those who don't?
even if i could make it to every event on every holiday all year long, i still dont think it should be done that way, day before or day after is fineWe all pay to play.

On GL they are doing this.I don't really mind it being held on the holidays themselves despite having family and such. If I can't make it, I can't make it. However, I just don't personally have the time to 'camp' the banks even on non-holidays. Would be nice if they said the bunny will be dropping items at x, x, x, x, and x times and make them not just the major banks, but moongates, out of the way areas like fields and such. Then if they want to drop more randomly, go for it. At least that way folks can have a chance to come across one.
That's really awesome. I hope that other shards might consider adopting it as well. Thanks for the information, Galen!On GL they are doing this.

Welcome.
More specifically, they appear to be wandering the realm looking for people.
Also they are dropping by the major locations at seemingly random times.
(That's at least close to what you meant, right?)
I ran into a bunny at Fire Temple in Felucca, and at Valor Shrine in Ilshenar. (The latter, btw, was yesterday....So for the original poster: They kind of already are doing holiday events not specifically on the holidays.)
There's also another event tomorrow, Monday, that involves a squirrel. Not sure if this is an Easter event per se or not, but since the event was scheduled for today originally, I can only assume it is supposed to be an Easter event, at least kinda-sorta.

Doesnt seem too random to meWe’ll be hiding Easter carrots in certain spots at set times tomorrow.
3 p.m. CDT – Trammel, gates will open at the Counselors’ Hall.
6 p.m. CDT – Felucca, gates will open at Felucca Brit. and Buc’s Den moongates.
8 p.m. CDT – Trammel, gates will open at the Counselors’ Hall.
We’ll also be running through various towns at random points during the day.
lol, and you are Mr grown up and sensible i seeanother stupid reply, are you related to mule?
(Seemingly) random spawns are in addition to the scheduled ones.Doesnt seem too random to me![]()
Are you related to Jirel?another stupid reply, are you related to mule?
The EMs are contract employees of Electronic Arts. They do get paid.Cloak‡1669404 said:I have nothing against "repeating" events before or after the holiday itself but realize these are people who are doing this for nothing, they get nothing from this except a majority of people who either complain or will be rude.
That aside, what is a major holiday? Easter/Christmas has been mentioned, but really there are MAJOR holidays in every month, some of them lasting weeks at a time. Really, you can not request for it to not be on a holiday, but I realize you are requesting for holiday themed events not to be on the holiday they are themed after, But again back to the EMs doing this for nothing, their schedule is what dictates the "when" so either live it up or request they just don't ever do any events, I mean really lets ask them to just redo their schedule to fit into our play time, never mind they might work? Go to school? Both? Maybe, they have work the day before and after but not on the day of? Maybe they would normally spend those hours with friends and relatives but instead are doing this event for you?
I am sure this post will be called ******** as it reflects the same views as the others called ********, but if you are going to attempt to do so, just try to put up a counter argument.

Can EMs stop having events in the evening, im trying to eat my food! And at the weekends, cause im out shopping! But weekdays, Monday to Friday? NP - im always around!
There will always be a bad time for a fairly big amount of players. Id say one chunk will be away all day, another will be in UO wanting their eggs! I feel bad for the poor EMs.. they give out all this easter stuff and get no eggs in return!
GL's EM's should give a "how to run events" course for the other shards. I know there are some really good EM's out there, but there are also some extremely LAME ones. The lame ones need to get fired, or have a refresher course in "how to have events".On GL they are doing this.I don't really mind it being held on the holidays themselves despite having family and such.

Go outside and breath the fresh air.And what of those who don't?
