  • (Quote) It's theoretically possible anyway if they use the Welcome window (as they do for Kyra's) but it's a bit tricky to get a "fair" count given how easy it is to create multiple accounts. However, EME does have metrics already beyond …
  • (Quote) If you invite the whole server, it means you have to do a whole other scale of event. There are surprise events you can do for 50 people, but if 200 people drop by all of a sudden (after an announcement), it'll turn into a lag fest and eve…
  • (Quote) I know - the current system sucks and everyone should hate it compared to the original plan that was way more generous and fair to players. No one will prefer this new system except BHS because it's deliberately designed to be less desirabl…
  • I don't think there's been any indication of that. If people are taking this information from other regions, it's useless because this was always a change specific to our region. My guess would be that people are trying to use rumours to impact th…
  • I don't think the ideas in the presentation are bad at all, but I think you probably need to consider why the system was forced to be this way in the first place. The original EME-proposed method was: one token that drops in PvE, one token that dro…
  • This was discussed in the previous similar thread. There are three types of community events: 1) large-scale planned events (e.g. Mongos, this coming weekend's event, etc.) 2) small-scale scheduled events (e.g. weekly streams) 3) small-scale impro…
  • (Quote) The actual patch notes really aren't very different compared to ours; there are a few additional drop details that relate an event that changed, but most of the points are the same. If you mean the promotional content before the patch notes…
  • (Quote) Zayo isn't their ISP, it's a interconnect (backbone infrastructure) provider throughout the U.S. (and some other parts of the world) and one of the providers into the datacenter (it's a multi-homed facility). If your connection is routed t…
  • (Quote) For what it's worth, this isn't true. The EU method is in-game on paper only, since it's virtually impossible to collect the 27 unique items you'll need in-game without buying the drops on the cash shop. You'll need to collect hundreds, m…
  • (Quote) It's a routing problem during primetime. For some reason, the interconnects seem to have problem handling the traffic inbound to Chicago at around the same time of the day every weekday. The actual servers, if you take a different route, …
  • (Quote) Bluehole, Inc. owns EME. Whoever at EME tries to do this would simply be fired and replaced with more compliant employees. You only get one chance to fall on your sword; is this worth quitting over, or is it better to stay around and hope …
  • (Quote) Their event is no less RNG at all, because the loot is an RNG box that drop a random letter. You need to collect 27 unique letters from that RNG box. Plus, their event only lasts one month. So even if you farm non-RNG dungeons, you still…
  • Yeah, the EU event is crazy over-the-top. To get the royal dragons you need 27 unique tokens that drop from an RNG box, and the RNG box drops rarely -- unless you buy it on the cash shop (which is still RNG). It looks good in theory and suggests t…
  • (Quote) I think that was all it meant -- that veteran players were the types of players who would be able to go through the effort to get these mounts. They weren't saying there'd be special privilege/shortcuts for veteran players. ... Basically,…
