I want to start this off by saying I get it I have broken the game for some of you and ruined the auctions, I have talked with JW and I'm going to control myself at these events. I really hate that all of you hate me that was never my intention i just go over bored sometimes......... I'm sorry
"Hey everyone, I want to see if yall would be interested in a PvP Gladiator tournament! This is how it's would work: Anyone can sign up to participate. The event will take place in the PvP room, keeping it low-key without any fancy arena setups. Spectators are welcome to watch the matches. We'll form a circle, and the combatants will fight in the middle.
Participants will be matched based on their skill level and stats like strength and dexterity. You won’t be using your own gear; instead, we’ll craft equipment for you. Each player will get one Runic weapon and can choose one piece of Runic armor. If you win a round, you’ll take your opponent’s Runic weapon and armor piece to use in the next match. It’s a ‘keep what you kill’ style event.
The rules are straightforward: no magic, no ranged weapons, all melee combat. No macros for healing, and no bandages—just direct combat. No buffs, no potion drinking. Anyone caught cheating will be disqualified, so please play fair. This event is meant to be fun and not too serious.
Suggestions for the event, let me know! I’m open to feedback. Let's make this a great tournament!"
If we do this everyone will need to provide a screen shot of your stats and your combat skills to be placed in the right category. If this does not seem fair I'll scratch it.

Re: Want the community's thoughts on an event.......
Sounds pretty neat. With world PVP disabled and no PVP events to speak of, it might be neat to see this get started. I come from a PVP background and I kinda miss the community building that the tourneys would help accommodate.
I feel like this is something that could benefit from some server-side scripting/setup as well to assist with running the event and other future GM-run events, etc.
We used to have a system that would let you enter an event and would remove all your gear and all the contents of your backpack and move them to your bank. It could then supply you with a set of armor, reagents/weapons/supplies, etc that you'd need for the event. You would need to be flagged as "InEvent" while wearing this gear and when you exited the event, any event items on you would be deleted and any items flagged as event items would be deleted when drag/dropped or interacted with if the person doing so wasn't flagged as InEvent.
In your case, you could have it randomize some armor/weapons to give them, or give them a few rolls to select from. Maybe a couple bandages and potions to add to the strategy involved (if you can finish someone at low HP and regen, you can keep those bandages for the next round), etc.
Once you left the event, there was a statue in your bank that you could double-click and it would re-equip all your gear and restore your backpack. I think a system like this probably already exists based on that Backup Day prank that happened a while back.
Here's the code for it (as well as other stuff in the folder) if that's useful. It's pretty ancient and I didn't write it, but it's free to use and modify since we released the scripts like a decade ago, lol: https://github.com/jyourstone/imaginena ... upplier.cs

I think it sounds fun, would definitely spectate.
Re: Want the community's thoughts on an event......
I really liked the idea but I would suggest going simple and add more things over the course of new events. ( I think more complex event would require some GM assistance. perhaps if it was made in green acres where this area could be costumed with forges and a naked gate entrance like eremite said)
For more simple event if all players went in completely naked you could just see that there are no items in the backpack or body and would easily be controlled. If all things are provided by the coordinating staff you would solve most doubt issues. Lets say players could select the type of weapon and armour and then receive a standard bag with bandages and armour.
You could craft the weapons in iron with no specials "on demand" using the mobile forge/anvil and this would let players expand their game tactics using weapon's specials for pvp.
I don't remember correctly but didn't this server had a pvp challenge command for 1vs1? I may be confusing things.

Re: Want the community's thoughts on an event......
crafting still have variable parameters, better to buy off vendor.
Re: Want the community's thoughts on an event......
I thought it would be cool to do it with like a gladiator theme that is why i said one weapon runic and one piece of armor randomized when they choose it this will be like a week long or weekend long event so everyone can get time for matches and all. Unfortunately I don't see gm assistance happening. I have asked by email and ticket no response recived.
