Seeing the new (old) global event, it struck me as the same old.  Don't get me wrong, its great and better than nothing, but let's retread some old thread ideas....

 

1) GvG, guild versus guild, sector vs. sector, allies vs. enemies.  I'll not dare elaborate as there are much eggier egg-heads than I. 

 

2) PvP, player vs. player, guildie vs. guildie, pro-rate attacks so all ranges can attack all ranges.  Obviously, all mechanics apply, but no nasty xp and gold loss, hehe.  Hunting down a BigGrim would be fun too, and cathartic, hehe!  Perhaps a revolving event.  Again, eggier folk can hash it out.

 

3) Scavenger hunts, true scavenger hunts using existing or created landmarks throughout the FS realm.  Not your typical find Waldo (or Santa Claus), but something that highlights some of FS.  And NOTHING to do with the Caves!!!!!!

 

4) Insert your idea here.

 

 

There are many smart folk here, I'm sure these ideas could be ferreted out and implemented.  1) and 2) could help bridge the gap between pvpers and levelers, leading to Grim's new pvp idea.

C'mon gang, we're all winners when we cooperate (almost got through that with a straight face)

I would love the idea of a scavenger hunt. As long as we're not doing them every week, I think they would retain interest if it was executed correctly. It could also serve as a new medal idea.

From the Dev Roadmap, seems to be viable as these are "next" on the list:

 

Planned Development (Target Release Date)
Fallen Sword Point Vault (Bank) (20th September 2014)
Improve the PvP Ladder (13th October  2014)
Guild Conflict Structure (3rd November 2014)

I have similar thoughts after most elections - but still have to live through a full term with the next prime minister (president, ...).

 

I agree with you that I can't see the importance in this one, but when we did have the vote many others had a different perspective.

 

Until such a time as we get a new election, I think we just have to respect the democratic view.

Scavenger hunts might be fun, though I wonder how many people have a good enough recollection of landmarks spread through 2500 levels to make it workable.

 

Perhaps with judicious OFSG references it could work well.

 

below-level access to realms might be another issue. I guess it could be restricted to levels 1-25 (which might make the landmark recognition less of a problem too).

But, if it's a global (community) event, it will take players of all level ranges to complete the scavenger hunt. 

 

I have no earthly idea how it could be implemented, but I like the idea.

Perhaps it's just me but have you ever listed an auction for gold instead of fsp?

When I bid on stuff I always fear that I might accidentally buy stuff with fsp instead of gold.

When in the upgrade page. With my fat fingers, I may click on the wrong upgrade. Fortunately I usually don't carry enough fsp to even worry about some of these issues but that is how I see why this would be cool.

Not convinced this is a vital upgrade to the game, if even upgrade is the appropriate word, there are many more important issues that need addressing before luxury additions such as this, which only benefit a tiny minority, are added, if at all...

I never said it should be a priority. I agree it should be very low on the list. I'm just sharing how I would personally benefit from such an upgrade. Your question seem to indicate that you had no idea why this feature was on the list :/

You nit - pick a hell of a lot in the forums. It's incredibly tiresome. Bickering over minor details rather than concepts is the domain of the simple. Sit back.

I was just answering his question. Just ignore me. Funny you don't call out others nitpicking.

I'm sorry Penny but arguing the Earth is round is exhausting.

Wait, wasn't this about ideas for globals? How do we get so far off course in such a short amount of time?

A PvP Event where we had an open ladder would be a great way to test how would be a re-vamp on the open Ladder.

But we would need prizes, not tokens, for sure.

We need something that doesnt spell "Kill xxxx amount of critters".

At this point, anything besides that is more interesting.
