Idea Monthly Events

It's been a long time since Raid had an event, and with things like Koths being very successful in bringing players here, I think we should have a special event once a month.

I know this would be a lot of work for the staff, but these events can be kept fairly simple and used a couple times - even if we had 4 events and kept them on a 3x rotation it could potentially work.

I originally planed this for raid map 1, and these were some of the ideas I had:

• Team wars
  • Every team is against eachother fighting in a custom map, no cross teaming
  • Have a koth / other surprises randomly in it
  • Last team standing wins
  • One life per member, no warping back to arena
• LMS
  • Free for all event, no teaming, last man standing wins
  • Make all players invisible or make sure they can't be identified some how
  • Custom arena, one life, no respawning
• Boss battle
  • Custom boss (fairly easy to do) with little minion things that drop special loot as reward, make it have custom attacks (a little less easy to do)
  • Pvp enabled, but boss should be the focus
• Maze
  • Pretty self explanatory
  • Maps can already be found here: http://www.minecraftmaps.com/maze-maps
  • Can be altered fairly easy
• Castle Seiges
  • Again, maps can be found easily already
  • Have staff try to protect a certain point and have loot around the castle
  • Staff will have OP loot that won't drop, but will keep them alive for longer

If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them, as events are always fun even if they don't always go as planned. If we had events frequently I think it could be healthy for keeping things fresh and for potentially bringing in new players - we could even have an event kit with prot2 diamond or something to help bridge the gap for people to participate.

 

Team wars - Yes, but I think that would go for any event. If there was a kit for the event it could promote others to participate. Regardless, even if it was just 5 teams or so, I think it would still be fun, but can still of course be improved.

LMS - Yes, the last one wasn't so successful, but the invisibility thing didn't work before. If we had a way to do that this time, things could be a lot better. I know teaming / avoiding isn't going to be prevented entirely, but it could be limited as much as possible by invisibility and team ff. Just an idea anyways.

Maze - The map used can be held secret until the event, making sure no one would know the solution. Besides, I think it would be quite hard to keep checking the solution when there is pvp happening and such. That site I linked was just an example of one to use, there are tons of maps out there to use, so I don't think this would be a big deal. As for the containers, I don't think this would take that long if you used WE to remove them, then hand placed them around the map. Could be done relatively fast with a team of 5 staff or so and is a lot easier than just making an entire map yourself.
