Star Wars MUD Events

Current commonly run events are:

There is a new event channel coded now. It is only available when a wizard opens it and begins to run an event.

What is an event I heard somebody from the back shout? An event is any kind of game, contest that the wizards offer to players. It can be a trivia contest, a treasure hunt, a mob killing game etc. Pretty much anything that comes to mind.

The purpose of the special channel is to provide a place for participants to talk on, rather than having to use the shout channel. Commands for the line are:

event -join   allows you to be a participant in an event
event -leave  allows you to leave the event
event -who    will show you who else is participating in the same event
event <msg>   sends a message to all participants on the line

Player Council members also have access to these other options:

event -begin <event>  with no argument gives list of options
event -history         lists when events were last run

The reward for the winner(s) comes in the form of event points, which can be spent in a special event shop at the top of the commerce tower [COM] on Coruscant. However, the main purpose is just to provide something different and fun to do in the midst of monster killing.

If you have some ideas about what kinds of contests to run, post in the events newsgroup. Any wizard is capable of running events if they just want to. So post there for all of us to read and if a wizard likes it, perhaps they'll run it sometime.
