that's my suggestions kollex think about it xD

I like the event queue idea, but maybe in reverse order, so all start at the same time and, if it's too hard yet, you just wait when it's ok to join. and self-important high-levels won't be messing too much.

about no drops - there is no such option yet. suggest it to creator, maybe he'll listen

about teleporting - if only I had time to do that... too much to handle even w/o that, explaining the rules constantly and preparing for next round...

I am not afraid , but people may lose rare gears not in shop that make them afraid from join it , and I mean make portal to coliseum in start map near spawn point to coliseum and opened in events only , it's much easier than mod typing , and make low pvp from 0 to 100 and first winner get free 100 gear and seconds 75 gear and so do on , that's all ^_^

saturday impromptu "500-" event results (not enough high-levels showed up at the appointed time, but several lower levels came, so it was decided to do this instead. which turned into a delay for highs, who came eventually. 2 hours later )

As you can see below, it takes both skill AND patience to win a prize in this event. In other words: come at the appointed time and don't leave until it's over!
I'll give out 5 prizes total this time, but that is me being generous, seeing how many rounds most of the participants partook in!

the delayed no-limit event results:
Prize places:
20 Isoril - lvl 250 item
19(15) Stiche - parasited axe
19(14) HAMMERBITE - blue raven hat

Contenders:
18(15) Knighty
12(10) Dr DOOM

As one can see from the spoiler below, Isoril can be beaten, but only if attacked by a group of players, whose combined level is ~1.5 of his level. Maybe it would be less in case of all mages, but that is beside the point. The point is, when there is no such cooperation, all other contestants die at Isoril's will and in the order his wishes assign it. Hence double points for the round when he was killed first.
All this is to say - having an ultra-high level player breaks the logic of such event, where there should be unpredictable and uncontrollable results.
So, in the future, I may have to rethink the no-limit as maybe another limit (2k - 2.5 k?) or have Iso (or anyone else, who'd reach absolute dominance) stay away willingly (Why does he need items anyway? With his lead on skill points high-end items add not that much).

Regarding this particular event, I will reluctantly award Isoril with lvl 250 item, and some lower prizes for HAMMERBITE and Stiche.

But in the future, in such situation the event may be declared as a bust.
What I need is some sensible balance and palpable competition.
I'd like to hear from all (since there are not so many now) top high-level players, who are interested in participating, regarding their preferred time for the event in the future. The day will most probably one of the week-end days.
I'd really like to see Jony, GoodLuck, KOREA, rickdogg10, Maiden W, lasttry2, Insiders come and make it interesting in the future. So please, tell me your schedules
If I forgot someone here - don't mind that, everybody is equally appreciated at this event

i know no such thing
and even if you told me is true, this is not your regular pvp, but a special case

umm, the idea isn't to see who's best, but have a chaotic and unpredictable mass fight
among real players. besides, who'd control them ?

i died in round 3&4

just a thought on giving him something to do as reward for choosing to sit out a "no limits" event

Wow excited for the price...
And Battle was Epic.
