Kylin Wrote:People will also get bored with the same old type of events all the time (hence the reaction to the bar scene). Inclusive storylines are much more needed, hence the public events centering around House Mavanix. Despite the same people coming out to said events, the events were largely a success in helping new people meet each other and putting them into dangerous situations together while giving room for individual character growth. I'm not going to keep being the one coming up with large-scale storylines like that though. I gotta focus on my individual characters from time to time after all
The Mavanix storyline was huge and looked to be a ton of effort. Putting one of those together every week would be a pretty crazy time investment and take quite a bit of creativity. I'm thinking more... TALE Masquerade type event. No overarching story line (or if there was it was below the surface) but still a fun event... at least I enjoyed it.
It's somewhat psychological, people find waiting at stoplights far less infuriating even for much longer times than stop signs, because at a stoplight you're guaranteed to get your turn while at a stop sign you can spend the whole time wondering if you'll ever get an opening. So my feeling is running up against a cliquish wall is far less rage-quit inducing if you know there will be something more open you can count on at a definite time in the future.

This is where I'm questioning myself. I'm not sure if it's irrational exuberance on my part or if there really is enough demand for something like this. It did at least seem like there was a wave of new people as the first round of 2.0 videos/screen shots released. Some interest was expresses last night by people who were struggling to to find RP or would have liked to have something more when they were new.
With the server shut down for 2.0 marginally imminent there prolly isn't enough time for anything to get too stagnant. Also perhaps rotating the type of event might keep things a little fresher, so that it's not bar night every night.
Oh hey looks like Eva has already posted an event!
