I really like to experience those monthly events but I think if you could spread it across 4 weekend subevents in the whole month instead of concentrating all within one week.
- give continuous and steady sense of changes in the world (lore, events, bits of additional items every weekend)
- give more chances to everyone to experience new content events
- make every weekend special, instead of firing all in one week, and 3 following week/weekends where lots of people are basically back to repetitive content, often getting dull after doing it endless times
- have more time to balance each sub event, get things done better, less lag, more thoughts about what you are doing and giving away, less mistakes, happier playerbase.
If you want to make each subevent a bit more exclusive and special, make it just each weekend friday to sunday (instead of the whole week) where most are online like me, yes I have little to no time during the weekdays between work and family.
So you can give each week 3 days of special event for everyone especially lore/events enthusiasts and other 4 days for normal routine, dungeons, WvW and so on especially for the more hardcore and legendary farmers with lots of time during weekedays
And considering that many workers are getting the salary the last weekend of the month, the cherry on the top would be the final subevent for each month around payday weekend
Deal?
Cheers
