The very first living world team actually did the thing some of you have called for. Some 40 or so permanent events were added around the game in our very first content update. They were met with little interest or fanfare. Granted, Halloween may have stolen the show. But those events are still in the game today. I’ve seen very little reaction to them, however, positive or negative.
To be honest, I had no idea you guys had put new events in until I started levelling one of my alts. It’s a shame they were buried by the Halloween hype, because they were pretty entertaining. Certainly got me to roam around for a while longer than I would have at launch.
I’d like to have something to contribute to OP’s topic, but truth is I haven’t managed to even properly play the new content, the massive zergs swarming the bosses make the whole area unplayably laggy for me. I guess all the advice I can take away from that is: For the love of Grenth, stop making content that makes entire servers flock to the same couple of m^2. Also, enough with the bloody monthly LS currencies already.
