So, let me pose some questions to our players, old and new(er) alike. I am looking to get some feedback:

1. If we arranged the occasional seasonal quest event, would you be tempted to come back for a day or two and play? Particularly if you knew other players were planning to do so?

2. What sort of seasonal events would you like to see? Feel free to suggest a particular set of quests (perhaps designed to recur annually, or easily adapted to do so.)

For instance:

Goblin and Orc horde expansion quest:
Set to coincide with the seasonal arrival of Goblins and last at least 7 days. Interested players (old returners/new players/bored players) email a staff member and are randomly assigned as part of the expanding horde (either an orc or a goblin), OR as part as the defenders of the realm (an elf or a wood-elf). Team orc burninates. Team elf has to try and keep the horde in check.

(Insert general stuff which we'd like to see from the staff during the week.)

3. When are you guys most likely to have free time to enjoy an event?

I'll read any responses below here. Please input what times of the year you are most inclined to play, or most likely to be involved in this sort of thing.

Good ideas will be considered and/or may be adapted and pitched to the staff. Please note- unique quests tend to be quite labor intensive in general as their level of complexity increases (especially unique code stuff.) There should also be a balance between "player driven" and "Imm driven" elements as both are necessary, ie: A fifteen stage Imm-driven quest which does not have any mention of where players would contribute to the fun is likely to be dismissed.
