StargateWars Events?

[Deathshotshooter]

I was just thinking, as an MMORPG player, wouldn't it be nice to have some events?

Maybe something like, for one day, of every week/month, turns are half as long, or maybe a specific event day that will give everyone twice as much turns or naq or uu / turn.

I think that would make everything a bit more interesting wont it?

I like that idea...

Especially if there is a possible doubling of unit production...

Well i can probably say, that most of you agree, that there are times in this game that, just sitting around waiting for naq/uu/turns to generate gets a bit slow and boring.

Imagine having something like a "chaos" event, where turns only last 5 minutes each. Imagine, 3/4 of the active stargatewar community online, banking, farming, raiding, massing. Or even just to see the chaos going through ones mind trying to figure out what to do with the sudden impalemnt of resources, would be quite interesting.

Good thing is, it puts no one more benifitial over others, as everyone will be in the event, it will be like playing SGW normally, just that its alot faster.

Of course there is still much to be tuned, but the idea is the events. Something to throw the SGW community into a "new" age of thinking/planning and building. Or just to make admin happy to cause chaos through the realms =D

How about every 100th attack you make you dial during a solar flare and for the next 24 hrs some thing happens. Now what ever might happen can have an positive effect on your realm or an ill effect. Like double turns for a day, plus 50% income, all miners become sick and can not work(however a cure is found in one days time), reversed turn production, etc.

I think this is a great idea. The game would benefit from some spice.

I live the idea, but have a new realm, kinda like purgatory, which you must enter into before you can recive these effects.

Same rules as purg, minus the army size limit.

This idea i also approve of. I have previously suggested a similar idea of extra "realms" of which i referred to as "leagues".(https://talk.gatewa.rs/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=93779)

Love this idea!

The first thing that springs to mind, though, is how much of a disadvantage it would be to players who couldn't show up... Perhaps players that couldn't attend could be put on vacation - so they don't benefit from any bonuses but they don't get exploited either. Perhaps make it as long as you've played within 5 days of the event but you don't log into the event, you go on vacation (this would leave inactives/farms/etc alive during the event).

(Just thinking ahead. Knowing my luck I'd be on urgent business on a plane somewhere on the day of the damn thing.)

Definitely worthy of discussion! Nice one...

It's been suggested in the admin chats many times.

how about a free PPT on Christmas ^.^
and some naq for those hungry units on Thanksgiving

+1 vote for this idea.

I like it. Some random events periodically - but positive events (not like units lost, army destroyed etc)
