Pre 4.86 Event Round Two

[Agmen of Eladesor]

Is it admins managing server so that developers have something to work on, or developers making a mod so that admins have something to control? .... neither all of them "work" on the same thing.

It should be the players having fun at whatever we come up with, which so far has been the response that I've gotten on the event.

The last event was set up quickly because we didn't know that we'd have a server available that could run these things - so I was operating under a time constraint. This time we've a month to get ready. For the BHG ships, I ... and this may sound arrogant, but ... think I have a really good grasp on the loadouts they need, for some silly reason. Order ships - well, I have many, many members of the Order that also have BHG characters to ask - as well as having a few Order ships of my own. And for the Nomads, I have already gotten into skype with Treewyrm and sent Foo a PM.

As I said for the first event, we're staging things that are supposed to have happened between 4.85 and 4.86 - and we're doing it with 4.85 ships. The players are getting the chance to be the npc's - the ones that come in endless waves, fight gallantly, and die bravely (and in mass quantities). You'll remember that I shut the event down for a while when the players decided not to co-operate with the RP that the dev team had determined would occur in 4.86, because the players like to think that their actions can influence what happens in the development of the server.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
