Special events and or special items!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Tickles:
I think we're even scaling down leveling to make the game challenging as well, especially since everyone will be battling a lot. I do like the special event item idea, but more  global than anything else. Delibirdmas anyone?

fuzzy3158:
Oh I like the idea of event-only items, but you should be wary and make them un-tradable, to prevent tragedies such as the party-hat in Runescape...

Jerry:
I kind of have a feeling that such events were already planned for, because after all, an MMO of this kind with events being only about tournaments, I think that players would have demanded for more variety in events :)

This thread is a little related.

Could you perhaps give a little summary? I wasn't there when this happened ^^; And I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with those items being tradable :s

Tickles:
That one little item caused the entire runescape economy to crash. Players usually tossed that one item out, except for a few, causing it to become the rarest item in the game, and increasing its value one hundred fold, and simply trading it made a player able to get whatever they wanted, easily. Think of it like having the gibus in tf2 and only one exists after people just get rid of it, making it the most expensive item in the game. That's what fuzzy is warning about.

Personally, I don't think we'll have the problems in pu, but who knows, there may be an entire economy around outfits than goldz. I guess event items becoming non tradable would avoid the runescape scenario as well.

Jerry:
Ahh I see, thanks for the insight. Hmm, from that optic though, 'tossing' items in the traditional games always meant that you would not have it back. Come to think of it, I don't remember discussing about how items are to be handled in PU; whether they are lost when thrown away or just put on the ground and available to whoever comes around.
