Lets get the topic started, it was the 1st of December yesterday; perhaps for each day leading up to the event the gm's could let off little hints almost like opening the advent calender :D .

On a serious note, is there going to be one. If so when?

I would prefer a Christmas event that doesn't involve exp increases, this way if Monk does release for Christmas they won't get a huge starting boost that the other classes didn't at the start of the server.

Would prefer something small along side some new content/monk release.

Events like Christmas etc are always a good way for new starters to benefit though! Isn't all about the un-needed and silly Monk class!

One aspect of the halloween event that i did enjoy was the random spawning of ghost mobs (although more variety would have been good rather than just ZT!). If the code for this still exists, would that mean something similar could be implemented with relative ease? Similar logic, but more variety of bosses (harder ones that involve fights and chances of people dying but maybe dont break stones or drop if the boss gets kill?). And instead of a 'scream' alert maybe a christmas themed sound, 'hohoho' or some jingle bells or something? Just an idea :p

Christmas songs in mir, haha. That would be quite a novel idea. I must say on the event front I do enjoy the whole aspect of large boss spawns on bw-mw but it's not exactly a unique touch on the typical event's we have. On a separate note, I would enjoy this server more if the population in game was higher than it has been over the last few months. Maybe some advertising - a Christmas theme newsletter to every email address registered to this server since it first opened. Some incentive to bring some more life to the server :D

Would love to see xmas trees dotted in every providence which drops presents like Euro did

Opening them to give you pots/waters/temp buffs/benes/and the odd chance of a rare (36ish item, nothing too ott)

I used to like the gathering events too on Euro, I think it was icicles you collected - could do something like 100x to craft a unique high dura but temp stone ? Maybe same as Holy stats but with additional AC/AMC


Also, rather than no body/bag drop (please don't do this again), have a special repair snowman that people can special repair items just for the duration of the event, that way people can use there best gear without no worries

Event items (time limited) are always a fun one, Tele rings, para/pro rings, dc 0-60 weapons, mix it up for a few weeks, give the game a whole new feel.


Or an Event map, none pvp, block red mobs, too difficult for any one person to handle. Make a group hunting zone, decent exp, good(but rare) rewards

Give all mounts a Red Nose. (+ antlers if it isn't too hard)

The easter temp items were good. at the time they gave 80% of the server a jump in stats (power ring equivalent)
Maybe Christmas level 1 items with PrimeStat 9 rings, 5 bracers, 8 necks, 2 boots. AC 10 helms and acc 1 belts. so nothing anyone has not already gemmed but stuff that;
High level people wont loose too many stats to use gaining the benefit of not worrying about dura or dropping items
Low Level people can get a feel for high level kit (not end game kit) and level faster (no big deal as they can be boosted faster than giving them some primary stats)

stone is a great idea too. temp stones that don't break and have better stats

I wouldn't mind Charon popping up outside of hell cave to claim some coins too.

Add something similar to a snow man, who drops icicles. If I remember correctly they were a dura 8, high radius torch that provided dc0-2, mc0-2, sc0-2 (Prevented dura loss also).

OR

You can make my christmas and upload the sound bite for the original lobby music, that **** would get me through the day.

I remember this, they were nice little perk to the game while they lasted.

It would be nice for christmas trees, presents to be dotted around provinces with chance of getting items such as pots/bene/exp pots/hard torches/ level30/36 items, rare chance of decent books (lion roar) cough! maybe?

presents could be easy to kill and good exp for sub 40's, allowing new players to join & catch up

i think something along the lines of the easter medallion event would be spot on (but xmas related ofc)......some thing to make and gain limited stats for after the event...sub 40 catch up exp would also be cool

nah, you want players to come back? make items accessible. I get that this is a proper server and nothing should be made too easy, but there should 100% be good chance of items from presents etc... attracts people. and the people that complain, still hunt and enjoy it, they just like a good moan, just my opinion as some 1 who would return for something like that.

+1 for Xmas Trees dropping presents. People can sell for money, open for chance of something decent.

Add some Reindeers around provinces too, decent-ish exp (For lower levels mainly, good idea for any new comers to get involved and still get some levels in) - Maybe you have to kill these for some sort of Xmas collectibles which you can trade for Xmas items? Low dura, non repairable break on death?

Maybe something like a snowman which acts as a boss, randomly spawns on provinces, not easy to kill so will take a group (Think lords)

presents would be a good idea double click them (could give exp or could well give a item)

the better the present the better the exp/item (red white green and so on..)


( presents drop from mobs so gives not only the higher levels a chance of something nice also the lower levels to make abit of gold/exp )

but for something like this you may need to put a cap on a low level cave for noobs to hunt in so they dont get PK'd for presents by higher levels..

but... just an idea.
