Event suggestion : Realm confusion

Hello Team,

Given the success of the recent event, I was thinking : okay - what else could be fun ?

It appeared to me that, a lot of people are asking for FFA servers, but for reasons more or less clear, we seem to agree that it is unsustainable on the long term population wise.

But the nature of an event is well : short term!

Would it be possible to enable FFA, with possibilities for realms to group and pve and/or pvp together ?
- Enabling cross realm chat temporarily. (event over a weekend to enable all time zone to enjoy it)
- Enabling cross realm grouping.
- Enabling same realm killing for rp.
- Enabling cross realm binding and maybe a potential for a random teleport in different realm port location. For this, at the end of the event, binding would be reset automatically to main city.
- When new char are created, they are randomly spawning into different realms.
- Main cities are safe harbours.

From the roleplay side, dragons came together and decided to cast a confusion spell over all three realms to distract them from their evil plans preparations. (which could lead to another event, dragon based)

How this could fit in a Beta purpose ... well.. heh... not sure. But I am convinced there must be a good exc... reason!
Or for after the release if too complex now.

Hed.

I also have wondered if it would be possible to create a FFA specific zone, such as opening one of the currently unused Battlegrounds with that specific ruleset. This is probably a ton of work though serverside to customize an entire communication, grouping, and player interaction ruleset specific to one zone - not impossible, but surely a good chunk of work. Either way would love to see some form of FFA somewhere, event or otherwise!

I can already hear the animists laughing if such an event would be held.

For an event maybe, but to just have a constant zone with this feature....would murder RvR entirely. Opportunity for more rps, smaller area, and all soloers....would suck all hardcore playera into its void

Would drive players there, people would want to do it more than other game modes, would attract all hardcore players --- better not do it? To me those are great reasons to want such a thing heh. "A bunch of people would love this - let's not." The ol' Uthgard devlogic.

I agree for a server that wants to enforce RvR though it would make more sense a limited access thing, but only from the perspective of wanting to enforce RvR participation. Man I hope someday a Mordred-esque classic shard opens.

I remember Genesis, only logging during events for 500k rp in two days and then waiting for the next event ^^
Good times.
