What this event has confirmed, however, is that the playerbase on Disco is still very much interested in an event-driven server activity as the server was maxed out during these times. It also seems that players are much more inclined to log for admin-made events, rather than faction-made ones.
This is just another sign that Disco in the state it is now desperately needs a green DM person who can create such large scale or mini-events. Since Conrad is potentially one of those people, and probably the only green-team member who has the time and motivation for this, I'd suggest you look at the outcome of the event from a more optimistic point of view.
Tbh, Nomads should not have won against the combined efforts of the houses anyway. That was the whole point of the singleplayer campaign, was it not? That they were trying to divide them -because- they could not have defeated them otherwise?
Agreed. A roleplaying server, with active admins, without events is just completely incongruous. I'd even go so far as to propose a dedicated Events team within the administration to run weeklies - doesn't have to be big stuff like this, but *something*. Pirate raids on houses. House raids on each other. A giant ISC shipping convoy running loops around Sirius or the SpanishCorsair Treasure Fleet. Blockade Manhattan and see what happens.
Official Player Factions and even indies do that already.
