Whar event would you like to see next?

As far as prizes go, maybe the GMs can randomly drop items or RE when they're killed by a snowball. One note though, snowballs work with ice skills (like multi ice or shark missile) so preventing spells/skills on the map during the event would be best.

A lot of games do this: allow players to wear santa costumes. Since the santa costume is GM-exclusive and would probably cause mass confusion and scamming if given to players, maybe the GMs can give out the santa hat only as a temporary Christmas item. That or give out the old green RC-elf costumes.

So far: Mass snowballfight with instant kill, how about setting the hit rate of the ball to like 1/5, and yeah killing GM / santa = random drop :p

For a long-term event: there's lots of toy items in DR. Do a scavenger-hunt like thing.

Santa: There seems to be a hole in my bag and all my toys have fallen out! I don't have enough toys left for all the boys and girls in the village. Could you help me find the missing toys before Christmas? I'm sure there's something in this bag of goodies I can give you as a reward

Toy objects will randomly spawn in any part of the 3 main towns (do a random number generator for the x and y cord on the map. rectangular maps should make this easy to do) at random time intervals (I suggest not making it respawn exactly on the hour to make this more challenging). Players can then pick up these toys and turn them into Santa. Santa will then reward the player with a random reward. I'm thinking rewards should be something Christmas themed like G4 random effect "lollipops" aka candy canes or SC upgrade items, etc.

To make it competitive, is it possible to keep track of which nation as a whole turns in the more toys? Possibly give them a nation-wide reward afterwards.


Since it's a random event in the main town, everyone can participate. Higher level doesn't give much advantage other than minor run speed because spawns are random.

I like the event you just described. But spawning items should be done at places where people can get to them, so it's not just random x,y coordinate and place it there cause it might be in the water. It would be kind of frustrating to see a toy and not be able to pick it up. Other than that it sounds like a doable and fun event to me.

I wouldnt mind seeing a new unique item or 2 made especially for the event to give more of a reason to participate.

Good point. I was thinking in the terms of "easiest way to do it so Jill can't complain it's too much work" =P Since it's items, they should have the same item timer as normal dropped items so after like 2 minutes it will disappear if no one finds it so at the end of the event, you won't have a ton of toys in the water mocking people. lol.

I just thought of a possible flaw though. For the low population nations, surely players from other nations will come and try to take the toys. A possible solution is to only spawn toy X in Vys, toy Y in Yllse, toy Z in Zyp then only players from that nation can pick up that certain type of toy. Also each Santa NPC will only accept that certain toy for their nation. That may take away the incentive of "stealing" toys from other nations.
