For those who played FFXI, I’m sure you remember Al Zahbi “Beseiged” was a fun event that always had participation since the rewards were great and overall was quite a challenge. NOT TO SAY TAKE THIS IDEA AS YOUR OWN AREANET, but something like a important city such as Ebonhawke since its large and part of a pve zone would be fun. This event would:
- occur at set or random times the brand or seperatists or any hostile group in the fields of ruins would plan a unique seige against the city.
-large invasion since its a large city.
-only every few hours or the city will just be too much of a burden to protect.
-offer large incentive of rewards for being a very long duration as well as good drops like other large scale events.
-If the city falls, the next rotation of this event will have a large scale retake event with many npc’s but whether defending or retaking, it requires good amount of player participation.
There are many big events yes, but they are either too easy or not worth the rewards. When I enter pve, its too quiet especially with constant dragons and behemoth events going MIA. Nothing like a major city seige to spice things up a bit as well as provide world-event hungry dogs a bone to chew on
break. I feel like they should be back by now..”
