Re: Events or Scenarios?

Personally I went with Events...Scenarios are cool, the just get boring after a while...But a good Event put in every couple of months to spice things up qouldn't hurt.

Re: Events or Scenarios?

I can't decide because there are pros and cons to both!

As many have stated the events are very short and only so many hear in time to participate. Also, quite a few are in Felucca and I don't wish to pvp so I don't go for that reason.

Scenarios are so long and occur continuously and can get rather tiring to try to keep the spawn down.

I must say that the ones I have participated in, I did enjoy the time I spent, however, so I would probably have to vote for both. Just my personal opinion!

Re: Events or Scenarios?

I go for both. I'd like to see more support for player run Events in terms of GM support, or perhaps one of a kind gift/winnings.

Re: Events or Scenarios?

I voted for scenarios. Those were the times I'd made some news friends in UO. I'd show up almost every night to help out a newly made friend keep the area around her shop scenario monster free.

Events. Events are much more interactive for the players present and many get to actually personally interact with the event characters. Scenarios, like the Inu one we have going, are drawn out, take place half in-game, half on websites, and are confusing if you're not on the exact same page as everyone else. I've hated having to glue my eyes to U.Hall the past few weeks with a decoder wheel and chicken bones while trying to soak in parts of the scenario that everyone talks about out of sequence and with a lot of false information. EM events are much more realistic to me as well, as the characters don't stand there for weeks on end.

Re: Events or Scenarios?

I've always felt they've needed a combination of the live feel of events and the more structured and advance programming of a scenario.

While scenarios were fun, they are a bit dry/lifeless. Live events also have their obvious weaknesses as we've all witnessed (either through a EM without imagination, lack of EM tools to use to make the event epic, or major lag that destroys the events for those with low grade connections), but you can't beat interaction with non-AI.

I believe they are supposed to re-introduce the EM's again in the coming month(s), which will be good only if they've programmed in some scenario-type devices for the EM's to utilize or manage events around.

Re: Events or Scenarios?

I can't vote because I like it all -- it all keeps the game changing and therefore keeping it fun for me. I hate doing the same thing over and over and over so between the two I get to do a lot of different things and enjoy them all.

Re: Events or Scenarios?

At this point i voted for neither....

I never hear about events until after the fact...

The last 'scenario', if it's considered one, that I was involved with was the undead invasion of Luna....
Now my problem with it was the fact that my vendors were at a house by one of the town entrances, surrounded by Rotting Corpses... and I have 'boonie dial-up' connection so guess what happened when I recalled in, unaware of the spawn, to pay my vendor with my smith on a fully loaded bug??!??

By the time the houses and spawn loaded, my smith was dead and so was her bug...
By the time I found a helpful stranger on the road headed out of Luna (cant go in there for the lag on a normal day) and was able to get back to the vendor house through that same spawn, all was gone....
By the time the invasion was over, the vendors had walked off due to lack of funds, thank goodness the stuff is saved in the house menu....

Re: Events or Scenarios?

Both are good! But I prefer scenarios for the added content.
