Specialized GM hunt?(idea)

What if you guys did like a special GM hunt? You could get players to pick up a free event ticket (guest or participant) from some npc or such, maybe make a small town map with good hiding places, like accessable rooftops, alleys, stalls, crowds of useless npcs, ect. Players teleport to the center of the city, guests to some floating viewing station or stands. The countdown begins and off they go! The event managing GM shouts out across the map either "Find the GM doing/wearing/holding [...]" or "Find the NPC doing/wearing/holding [...]". First person to say "1-2-3 on [...]" to the GM or clicks on the correct NPC wins that round, and 5 points, everyone goes back to the center and the next round begins. You could do this for several rounds, and then give out prizes to the top players. Every participant could get like 10% of their exp bar filled, so that it doesnt encourage only low levels to participate. Top prize could be some sorta event/cash shop item, next down some cash shop diamonds, ect. The guests can enjoy watching a lively sport, and have access to event only cash shop items like a sports shirt/hat/foam finger and non-cash shop items like "Cotton candy" or such. That way even if your just watching its fun, and it will encourage people who are watching to buy stuff from the cash shop.
Let me know how it sounds~

GM hunting sounds like fun. I say let's do it. I'm looking forward to bagging me a Swag or maybe even Hathore. Probably will need a raid or something, though. I don't see the GMs as being soloable.

Hmmm.... Anyone seen loot tables on them? I seen some GM gear in IP that looked pretty darn sweet. If any of them drop nerf-hammer, I am soooo in on that.




What?! Not that type of GM hunt? Dagnab it! In that case, will have to pass.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Yeah we've had that kind of idea, the only problem is that we could only be on the servers for a few hours in one day; meaning that everyone that couldn't be on at that time would feel slighted. I'm not saying we would never do it, but it's unlikely at this point in time. Thank for the suggestion. :cool:

They have actually done something like that once. Twice if you count the "kill a GM" event. Not with a specialized town or anything, just in the wide open Taborea. That was a fun event. But I like the ones where I get Biscuits!

How about a giant boss saying "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin" right before each AoE that hits you for 90% of your HP and 50% of your diamonds?



edit: and, oh yeah, Ebilone, you are crazy.....
