Summer's finally here, and I came up with a few event ideas that I'd personally love to participate in or watch for some entertainment over the next few months. If anyone else has ideas, feel free to share them in this thread. 

 

 

King of the Skill

 

The last King of the Skill was about 8 years ago(?) Since then, skilling has evolved quite a bit with all the new training methods that have been added. It’s a straightforward but enjoyable competition, and it could be a fun way to give players something competitive to do while waiting for larger events like Leagues.

 

For those who haven’t heard of King of the Skill, it’s a temp game mode where players compete to gain as much xp as possible or reach the highest total level over 24 hrs of playtime.

 

 

Forum Scavenger Hunt

 

The host posts a series of questions, riddles, or clues, and participants race to find the answers by searching through forum pages, threads, categories, or archived posts. Whether it's tracking down information, images, or specific links, the goal is to find everything as quickly as possible. The first person or team to complete the challenge and submit the correct answers wins the reward.

 

 

Staff vs. Community Castle Wars

 

A special Castle Wars event, where the staff team will battle against the entire community across a series of Castle Wars games.

 

To keep things interesting, staff members will enter each game with boosted HP and Defence, giving them a significant advantage on the battlefield.

The challenge is pretty simple... If the community can win more matches than the staff by the end of the event, everyone will unlock a weekend of bonus perks and boosts across a variety of in-game activities. 

 

 

Duo PvP Tournament Clan Wars

 

16 teams of 2 will be randomly seeded into a single-elimination bracket, with each team facing off against another for a spot in the next round. 

 

Success won't come from skill alone, as communication, coordination, and trust in teammates will be just as important. Every match brings higher stakes as the competition narrows down to the final contenders.

 

The top 3 teams standing at the end of the tournament will earn rewards and bragging rights as Alora's best duos.

 

 

FashionScape

 

The host invites everyone to their PoH and asks them to show up in their best FashionScape outfit. Throughout the event, the host gradually removes their least favourite looks until only 10-20 participants remain. Once the top 10-20 have been chosen, more staff members join the judging panel to help decide the final 3 winners, who will then receive prizes.

 

 

Prop Hunt

 

This event was suggested by H earlier today. Whether it was intended as a serious idea or a joke, it has the potential to be a highly entertaining and engaging event.

 

The host will announce a large region somewhere in the game world. Within that area, several staff members will be hiding, but not as their standard characters. Instead, they will disguise themselves as objects, NPCs, or other entities found in the original game.

 

Our goal is to search the region, locate the hidden staff members, and be the first player to trade with them. Each hidden staff member can only reward the first player who successfully finds and trades them.

@ Moe @ U

Interesting ideas. I’ve tagged Moe and U for you. I particularly like the prop hunt idea and the forum scavenger hunt. Not big on the implementation of the fashionscape event. For fashionscape, I could see a bracket set up on the forums to allow voting and greater participation working better buts that’s my opinion.

Good work!

Staff vs Community Castle Wars would be really fun - but castle wars system requires equal players on both team so may be hard to situate that.

 

The PvP tournament would be really fun but I think teams of 4-5 would be better (similar to DMM allstars)

 

Prop hunt sounds really interesting and fun, but only admins would be able to participate

Staff vs Community castle wars would be a nice event

Have any of these been brought up or discussed BTS?

All sound like fun ideas!

Prop hunt might need some custom work tho, as staff using ::npc would still show up on map and with name above head etc? some combo of ::hide that still shows the model but hides everthing else?

A little late but I'll bring it up with the staff team to see if it's something we can do. Prop hunt would probably be quite a technical challenge, so I doubt that would happen.

Duo PvP tournament sounds fun but participation numbers would be quite low, as seen with the various solo pvp tournaments that we already host.

Your suggestion has been accepted.
