We need new events,

[Moonlite]

Would this be nice to have? Yes
Will people complain in waves about others having a handout to the things they worked hard for? Yes

Maybe in 7.0 we'll finally see some ShB mounts rolling around but I have a pretty good feeling that will be the extent of it.

I am not sure if it is just one Data centre that is busy. But the game is definitely quiet right now. People complain about every reward in game. They could also pretend this isn't a ploy to bring players back. They could brand it 10th anniversary bonanza. Think we would have something big planned and announced by now for 10

Well I meant they could have an npc guide you there, like an instanced Musica Universalis or something.
Like how you need to talk to npcs to reach eureka or werlyt or gangos.

How do you explain to low level characters that the First exists without turning it into a major lore spoiler?

What happens to character still in zones they aren't supposed to have access to when the event ends?

Do players with the trial accounts or base game even get those zone assets installed on their clients? Some MMOs will install all assets regardless of expansion access but others don't. I don't know which category this game falls into.

It can open up all sorts of complications in a very lore focused game.

I still agree that it would be nice if other zones could be used for some events but I also still think it would be better off limited to the ARR zones that new characters already have access to.

... We've had new events? I mean, Headless horseman implies you mean Halloween and that's been different almost every year? They've created several new areas for it. Summer fest is the same location but they've done a quests where you had to go on a ship, Fates on the beach, the jumping tower, a different jumping tower. They're not the same events every year. Little Ladies day had a fashion show one year, a concert thing one year, quests taking you around town every year. Valentione's has been different every year too.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Do you mean you want more seasonal events? Or random events to occur in cities or something?

Also, renewing my call for NG+ for seasonal events so that all of you who've seemingly missed the variations on seasonal events we've had can see them.
